Nature's SunshinePower Meal, Superfood Whole Body Meal (Chocolate)

The Vanilla powder blends easily in smoothies and packs a lot of nutrition and protein into a beverage. Very satisfying drink when blended with fruit. It is great to find a really high quality completely plant based protein source. Quality ingredients and good value.

A little gritty and can taste it, but it’s good. Gave me good energy. I like the ingredients. They are easy to understand.

I have tried other protein plant based shake powders and thought this one in chocolate would be a good choice to try. My family and I couldn't get over the yucky taste of this shake. I don't like Stevia much at all but there have been other mixes that use Stevia that I have been able to tolerate but this one was just too strong a taste for me and the aftertaste was horrible. The instructions say to mix 2 rounded scoops of the powder with 12-16 oz of water. Scooper is included inside the bag. I tried mixing by hand but the powder was just way too clumpy so then I tried it in a blender. Better in the blender but still some lingering clumps since some of the powder mix falls below the blade and did not get broken up. I would not recommend trying this with water. I may give it another try with soy milk or coconut milk to see if it helps the taste but with trying it the recommended way with water was a no bueno for me.

I mean…this is quite pricey for just 15 servings but it’s hard not to be impressed by the nutritional profile. What stands out for me is that it contains 11 grams of fiber, 25 grams of protein, functions as a complete multivitamin and contains a whole food blend of superfoods, herbs, mushrooms and roots. Also, it contains just 1 gram of sugar and uses stevia as the sweetener (personally my fave sweetener). Just wish it was way cheaper. It’s an expensive habit at this price point, especially if you have to mix it yourself.

This powder is essential a meal in a bottle (after you mix it up). Very easy to mix with a mixing bottle. The vanilla flavor is on point, no real chalky flavor or aftertaste like many other whey proteins out there. You can mix it with milk for an ever sweeter treat.This mix is a very well balanced shake that can serve as a meal replacement in itself, if you want a meal in a bottle. Great way to boost your diet and health by kicking a lot of fatty foods to the curb and really get the benefits of your diet.As many people are, I'm on a New Year's diet which is going well. I incorporated this drink into my mid-day meal as a meal replacement. I don't feel hungry and seeing all the nutrition facts per serving, I'm not starving my body of all the needed vitamins and minerals.It's a little more expensive than say just protein shakes. But, this is in fact much more than just a protein shake. Since it serves as a meal replacement, just think of the money you are saving from a breakfast, lunch or dinner that you would otherwise be paying for.

When it comes to protein powders, most are pretty similar. This product, however, is quite unique as it includes all sorts of different plant sources of protein, fiber and nutrients. It's rare to see a fruit and vegetable blend and high fiber content protein shake that uses so many natural sources. High marks on the nutritional component.What sets this product even further apart from the standard supplement is that it actually tastes really good despite having so many unique ingredients. The flavor says vanilla and I think that's mostly correct but I'd actually say it tastes more like a vanilla muffin or vanilla granola as it definitely has a lot of influences from all of the ingredients. These add to the flavor and make it richer and tastier.Over the years I've had dozens and dozens of different flavored protein supplements. This is by far the healthiest and also near the top in terms of flavor.I've blended this with strawberries, bananas, mixed berries, cinnamon, and a mixture of all of those and it made for a great fruit smoothie in every combination.

Lately, I have been drinking smoothies for breakfast. While I like the taste, I rarely feel full, and usually about 2-3 hours later, I'm hungry again. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and how full I felt after drinking 1 serving of Nature's Sunshine Power Meal, Superfood Whole Body Meal. The vanilla flavor reminds me of a whey protein shake, but more creamy. The directions call for cold water and 2 rounded cups (cup is supplied) of the superfood mixture. I have been substituting almond milk for the water which makes the shake more creamy. In addition, I use a smoothie blender to mix the ingredients together. I tried to mix the shake with a spoon, but the the powder was clumpy and didn't mix as well as it does with a blender.As mentioned before, One shake for breakfast keeps me feeling full until lunch time. I am able to better regulate what I am eating, and have stopped snacking as often between meals. There are times when I think snacking is better than overeating at 3 meal times. My problem is that I tend to grab whatever is nearby rather than healthy snacks. When I drink Nature's Sunshine Power Meal, I eat less junk. I plan on buying more packages in the future.
