Naturgel Meal Replacement Smoothie, 6 Pouches - Nutrition Shakes with 13g Plant-Based Complete Protein, 22 Vitamins & Minerals, 18 Greens & Antioxidants, Healthy Fats, Fiber and more

It really bugged me that I almost didn't buy this product because of some of the bad reviews. I was like "ok another garbage protein snack pouch." But I was impressed by the ingredients list so I gave it a try. SOOO glad I did. This is definitely the best "throw in my bag" high protein snack I've found.Do you ever see a product that you know is good but has poor reviews, but then you realize it's because people are comparing apples to oranges? "Hey this kale doesn't taste like ice cream. 1 star" mhm ok. Well, that's this product for sure.Don't get me wrong, I totally get the complaints. Yep, it's slightly chalky and sour. Yeah it's a bit thick. But have you tried the competition? Smashpack has like a 3.8 rating. Fuel for Fire isn't any better. Sure, complete nutrition smoothie doesn't compare to a fresh smoothie from your local juice bar, but you also don't throw a fresh smoothie in your purse. That tends to be messy.I hear you thinking "so why do you even eat this stuff? And how do you hear me thinking?!" Well that technology isn't available on amazon, but the high protein snack pouches are. Personally I love smoothies, but I rarely have the time to go to all the trouble of making them, and stopping for coffee AND a smoothie everyday seems excessive. So these are a great alternative. The ingredients are healthier and the taste better than high-protein bars and they keep me filled for longer. Why? No idea. Maybe it's just me.All I'm saying is, if you haven't tried products like this before, know what you're getting into before badmouthing it. The taste may be a bit different than what you're used to, so I highly recommend eating at least 2 so you can at least try getting used to them before declaring them Literally The Worst Food Ever.So try'em, see if you like'em. It's not like it's hard to return products on amazon. You may just end up like me with your new favorite snack!

This mini-meal packs a punch and it is tasty. Wow! I enjoy both the Mango & Banana and Strawberry flavored smoothies.One pouch provides 220 calories, 13g of protein plus a bunch of vitamins (25% of nearly every vitamin). I’m trying to watch my weight with a 2,200 calories/day diet (I’m a big guy), so this makes a nice satisfying snack when I’m on the go.I like that it is gluten-free, but others may appreciate that it is dairy-free, soy-free and vegan.It contains no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, colors or flavors. Nice. My wife & I try to eat ‘real food’, rather than highly processed foods so this product works for us when we want a quick pick-up.When we travel or fly we pack a few and save some money instead of buying expensive, processed airline food.It is also nice to consume after a workout.I like it.It is also great that this products made in the USA by a veteran-owned company. Way to go!

I travel a lot and spend a ton of time on the road, making it very difficult at times to eat healthy. Meal replacement pouches like these are a great way to supplement and afford me the option to not eat at fast food restaurants. The convenience of the pouches is great too, just grab and go. The twist top means I don't have to consume it all at once either. Generally, once I open one I'll sip on it a couple times and then save the rest for later.The flavor was a bit different from other products I've used though. I've used a ton of whey protein products and as can be expected the flavor with them is very unique and takes some getting used to, but I suppose that's what I was expecting.The pea protein was much different and slightly chalky, but nothing I can't get used to but is why I'm giving it 3 stars. It would be nice if they offered additional flavors as well. I mean, who doesn't like chocolate.

After seeing all the reviews I was really excited to try these. I got the variety pack to get both flavors (not really variety but ok). I started with the Strawberry. I almost threw up. It didnt taste like a natural strawberry. Nor an artificial one. It tasted very bitter. And if that wasnt bad enough the texture was like gritty thick slop. I could barely hold it down. I decided to put it in the fridge to see of "chilled" made it better. Nope- just cold bitter mush round 2. So I went to try the mango banana. The texture of course is the same which is very thick baby food. This one didnt taste as horrible AKA didn't immediately think about spitting it out. Now Im stuck with 10 of these. Gonna try and mix with ice and honey in a blender to thin it out and take away the bitterness!! I shoulda stuck with 310Nutrition

I heard about this new product from my friends. Since I workout early in the morning everyday, this works perfectly when I am on the go and need a quick recovery/healthy snack. I like the tartness of the Mango Banana. The texture may be a little bit thicker in the beginning, but it doesn't take away from the flavor. It's a great product!

The flavor for these smoothies is consistent and satisfying. I would often take one with me on my commute to work and feel replenished afterwards. They are especially handy when I've missed breakfast and I need to move quick. I particularly like the mango banana flavor as the more subtle flavor goes better with the texture of the smoothies. Speaking of which, the texture is just a tad grainy and gritty. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. I quite enjoy the fact that I know I'm getting good nutrients while consuming these smoothies. Overall I'd say the value for this product is great! $20 may seem like a lot to pay for only 6 packets. Especially to someone like me who doesn't normally invest in these types of items. However, when you break down the value of each pack, the value exceeds a similar item at retail price. Particularly what one might pay from the typical markets.I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who has a busy schedule but still wants to stay healthy. You won't regret buying these.!
