Garden of LifeOrganic Vegan Protein Powder, Plant Based & BCAAs, Organic Protein Powder with Probiotics & Enzymes, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free Lactose Free, Vanilla Chai, 1.2 LBUSDA Organic

Great taste and ingredients. I started getting the same thing every time.

I've not used protein powder before so I can't compare it, but I just started a 6 week plan to lose the extra pounds and my food consists of a protein drink each day. I liked that this one was organic so I bought it. I got the vanilla/chai one. I'm mixing it with water. The first time I drank it it tasted like a weird healthy milkshake but I quite look forward to it now, 4 days in!

Great tasting protein powder, and dissolves pretty easily

Cassandra Bankson put me onto this brand: it's got more vitamins and such than any other brand. Totally vegan yet a dang decent amount of protein in it. I can't drink whey cuz it breaks me out: this solution is perfect. Blends without being grainy, taste is light n mild but not nasty! Incredible taste considering there's 0 grams of sugar AND low carb! I break my fasts with this: perfect product. 100% worth the price. I've bought like 9 tubs and will continue to consume it.

Update (2023): Nestle is a wicked corporation that bought this Garden of Life brand and ruined it with bad ingredients and filthy marketing lies. This was my go-to protein supplement for many years, but each year they change the formula for the worse and lie by calling it “new and improved". The taste and texture may be improved, but its health benefits certainly are never improved; you just get lower-quality ingredients and cheaper fillers while paying more for it. Here is a list of changes that show why no one should waste their hard-earned money on this trash (refer to my pictures to see the changes on their packaging):1) This product used to have no pea protein, one of the cheapest and lowest quality of plant-based protein next to soy, but now it is almost 100% pea protein and Nestle is peeing on their customers and calling it “rain”. It’s not even sprouted pea protein, even though they deviously list it under their “sprouted protein blend” heading.2) This product now contains erythritol as a cheap sweetener. Erythritol causes bloating and gas and is their cheap and inferior substitute for stevia. If it originally had erythritol, I never would have bought this product.3) This product now contains guar gum as a cheap thickener with no nutritional benefit. This might as well be sawdust, just added weight with no benefit.4) This product no longer lists what foods their added vitamins and minerals are sourced from, and their mineral profile has been reduced. Most vitamin C that is added to store products is sourced from lab-grown black mold grown cultures and is of poor quality, while this product used to derive most of its added vitamins from more high-quality brewer’s yeast. Since they no longer list the source of the vitamins, it is safe to assume the worst as they wouldn’t hide it if they were proud of it and the FDA does not require them to list it. This product is also no longer a good source of selenium, molybdenum, manganese, and magnesium.5) This product is no longer a good source of probiotics. To be considered a good probiotic, a supplement should have more than 3 billion CFUs, but it now has less than 250 million. Not only has the quality of their cultures declined, but I also got a Listeria infection (Listeriosis) from eating one of their products. A probiotic supplement should help prevent you from getting life-threatening bacterial infections, not actively give you one. Nestle is opening itself up to a serious lawsuit with a lack of quality control.

I like the taste of the product, mixes up easily

Not a fan of the flavor Vanilla Chai at all.I love the flavor in general but this does not even remotely taste like it to me. Not near as blendable as PlantFusion meal replacement complete (vanilla). Texture thicker also leaving tiny dots of I blended powder that feel gross when consuming… bummer.The price was similarI picked this to try for reason I read, this company has third party testing of its products. In an unregulated market I began to wonder what is actually in these powders, prompting a long research day for me. I very much wanted to love this based on all I’d read & learned.Disappointed, I have a tub full I only took a few scoops out of. I fear I couldn’t even give it away having been opened in this climate of distrust and everything today.. I’m bummed as 30$ is a lot and I still have to get my Protien supplemented for the month regardless. Free trial packets would be a bonus for many of these companies since the cost is high as is the medical need for some folks. I don’t know why some are totally blendable and some are not, some lack flavor. Also side note; these huge plastic tubs all the companies use are senseless when smaller pro-eco pouches would save shipping space, create less waste, less petro pollution hurting the climate. Alternates: Coffee type pouch? Woven tight bags with paper linings or plant bags? Recycled bags? Compostable would be fabulous!? Tubs take up too much space in a small cupboard also. This one wasn’t as big as some but still way big enough and at scale? Lots of plastic…Just a suggestion.I’ve seen others mention the tub sizes on many types of powders based on weight.Can we Ask to try these first?
