Love, love, love it. I get the vanilla and mix it in with a bunch of veggies & some fruit in blender and it really adds to the taste. I ran out of it this week and realized that my juices (smoothies) suddenly tasted like grass. It really does taste good and help balance out all the strong veggie flavors. Such a great product with all that it includes and it got the thumbs up from my nutritionist.

The protein is great but my package came half empty?

I love this product, I use it in my morning smoothie everyday! I always buy 2 of the 10ct because why would you pay ~$34 for 20 servings when you can pay ~$24 for 20 servings…?

You know how they say “if it tastes good it must be bad for you”? This must be the healthiest powder out there. It tastes like dehydrated grass and dirt. Can’t argue with the ingredients/nutrition though. I dont like eating vegetables and try to eat lots of protein/less sugar so this product met most of my needs. Too bad it tastes like chalky sod.

Last year I weighed over 200 pounds, was on 8 meds, have arthritis, crushed disks and was pre diabetic, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, ugh!!! I was tired all the time. Doctor after doctor told me I was old (60), women gain weight, I had a lot of injuries, I needed to accept that I should have surgery on my neck, back and knees. They really wanted to do surgery. I almost did, but a friend of mine had back surgery with a top doctor in the country, and she came out of worse, could barely move for months! I was scared to death! I got this protien powder to make another attempt to be healthier, but I was very depressed that expensive doctors were basically telling me my life was over. I had always been so athletic when young, I did not think I could go on. I was also on tons of opiates they prescribed. A nightmare! Last June, we had five unexpected deaths in our family, and then my beloved chow/wolf dog mix died suddenly (she was very old). I could not eat, I could not sleep. Food was like sawdust. I literally lost my sense of taste! The only thing i found i could tolerate was this powder blended in milk and ice. I just drank that once or twice a day, and ate almost nothing else. This protien powder kept me from really getting sick, because I was getting enough to go on. I started to lose weight, over this whole last year. I cold turkey quit all the pain meds and got kratom, cbd oil and lettuce pills, that helped my pain without addiction or feeling weird. Then I found my knees weren’t hurting anymore. I began to walk at the lake track near us every day, just to get out. I still had the protien shake with plain milk every day. Finally I went in for a check up at the doctor and my weight set off alarms, I had lost over a hundred pounds! They gave me tests for everything. My blood pressure was perfect, my cholesterol was perfect, I had no sign of diabetes. I had gone from a size 16 to a size 4. I hadn’t even been hungry! The protien shake kept me from craving sugar since it had none, and I just stopped eating a lot. I felt better with a lot less in my stomach. At the lake i walked, feeling light and free for the first time in YEARS. I felt so light i started to run, i never ran, but suddenly, i found i could, it felt better than walking. It didn’t hurt my back or neck, my knees felt great, i felt like crying, all this time I had listened to professionals tell me I was too old, too fat and too late to change anything. Through a series of odd events, I found some answers, and a new freedom. I’ve been running every day ever since. I LOVE IT! I feel like a ten year old. I feel pain free and happy when I run. Some of my childhood has returned in the feelings of hope and possibilities again.
I’m training to run barefoot, my feet have strong arches again. Read the book, “Born To Run” and you’ll discover how to stay free from injury and healthy without killing yourself or straining to be “perfect”. To just enjoy it. If I can do this, at 60, after being told there was no hope, then maybe this will help another person to feel the same. Never, ever give up! Don’t stop looking for answers and solutions, even if you are told there aren’t any. Look into the healthy diets of people on Crete, dump sugar and snacks and get this powder, start feeling better! It really, really helps you get lighter and healthier without cravings. Take time and change your life a little every day. Every single day you can try again, make another effort, let go of your mistakes and start over, relax and trust that it’s truly possible.

I usually I drink chocolate Orgain protein drinks, just looking for something that has a little more nutrition in it(I liked that this one has probiotics in it) to put in my green smoothies. This one seemed to be very chalky and even left a “chalky” after taste- and I put it in the blender with the rest of the ingredients, otherwise it doesn’t mix well at all. The taste was a little too sweet for me, I felt it over powered the taste of my smoothies- but not too horrible where I felt like I couldn’t drink them. I’ve never tried it by it’s self with water or almond milk- not sure that I would want to. Also, this doesn’t make me feel full like Orgain does, and I use two scoops in my smoothies. This brand just doesn’t work for me. Will be looking to buy something different.

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT TASTES! It dissolves easily, no weird texture, no weird aftertaste. My husband even liked it, and he hates broccoli, spinach, and pretty much everything that’s healthy. (Joking, but you get the idea.) I mixed mine with rice milk, and it looked and tasted just like plain ole chocolate milk.
THE BEST CHOCOLATE FIX EVER!!!
-Vegan
-Organic
-20 grams of protein
-Less than 1 gram of sugar
-6 veggies and superfoods
And SOOOOO GOOD!!! I haven’t been this excited about a health food product in my entire life!!! Hahaha Thanks, Garden of Life for making me sound like a walking commercial!

Sorry that I can only give this powder 4 stars, but it is not because of anything wrong with it . It is that I have not tried any other brands at all yet. I’m a virtual “newbie” to protein drinks and tried this brand first (chocolate) because the Garden of Life brand is wonderful and have bought many of their vitamin/supplements for years now. Some reviewers mentioned that it tasted chalky. I didn’t taste that, but I do think the taste is a bit odd. Can’t really describe, it just seems off a bit. Kind of bland I think. I do add more chocolate powder each time, and frozen banana. I add half a packet of stevia also. I don’t like the taste of almond milk, so far I’ve just added a cup of regular milk. I really am enjoying have a great drink for lunch, instead of a typical sandwich. Such a nice change. I think I’ll try a different brand next time around, just to compare. But so far, so good. Not fantastic, but quite nice.
