Orgain Organic Vegan Meal Replacement Protein Powder, Vanilla Bean - 20g Plant Based Protein, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, No Sugar Added, For Smoothies & Shakes - 2.03lb

First-timer with buying a product like this. It’s delicious! I’ve been blending with a banana, almond milk, yogurt, and scoop of peanut butter. Purchased as a result of oral surgery, only liquids for a week, and this product is so good I’ll keep using it beyond recovery time.

I bought this meal replacement to loose about 30 lbs. Been using it for almost a week having it for breakfast. I bought this particular one because I have IBS and Whey and garlic and onion really aggravate it. This is the only one of the plant based kind that does not list onion or garlic in it and does not use whey. In any case, this works really great for me. I mix with water only as dairy can mess with my IBS too. I use ice cold water and mix it with a shaker bottle vigorously. 1st put in water then put in 2 scoops then wire whisk, close tight and shake shake shake, put an extra wiggle in it for some exercise. Then I drink it. I like it best with a straw but can drink both ways. The first time I drank it I could take the after taste people talked about and it was indeed sweet. Is it gross no, is it a yummy desert shake no, it is a meal replacement to lose weight and better my health yes so deal with it. I won't look cute this summer if I don't work hard. After 3 days of drinking it, I no longer taste the aftertaste. So, I am a chunky monkey so yes I am still hungry after I drink it, but it curves the hunger to not be starving so I can make it to lunch. And continuously drink water, I am up to 70 oz of water in one day now, I use to drink maybe 16 oz. Nobody ever said Dieting was fun, or easy. So hopefully with some discipline I will shrink this hunger monster and I will get to feeling fuller. I have put myself on a 1200 calorie a day diet and I drink this for breakfast no milk 230 calories. Then I have whatever was left over for dinner since I have portion control now, there will be leftovers. Energy, yes I do feel more energized and it could be all the veggies in here which I was so lacking in my diet. Do I feel good that at least this is one small step closer to the size I want to be. Yes, I want to have that summer body, yes I want to live to be in my 90's yes I want energy to play with my grandbaby. I bought the creamy chocolate fudge and I will probably stay using only this one it does smell good and I don't want to risk trying a different flavor that 1. may not work with my ibs or 2 . tastes really bad so I will buy this one again. :)

As I stated prior, I have used this product after workouts for years. I looked and have ordered it on subscribe and save 41 times. For those who might want to reduce erythritol use, I purchased on subscribe and save the Orgain Vanilla "O" meal replacement powder as well. It has no erythritol, but yes, it is spendy. HERE IS MY NEW RECIPE FOR MY REPLACEMENT DRINK AFTER WORKOUTS: I AM SHOCKED AT HOW DELICIOUS IT IS. I combine: 1/2 cup of my regular Orgain Vanilla with a 1/2 cup scoop (I immediately remove the plastic scoops and replace with food grade 18/8 stainless scoops from Amazon: 2 scoops=1/2c.) Orgain Vanilla "O" replacement powder 2 1/3 bottles of Orgain Strawberry Nutritious Shake (I have done this as long as I have purchased the meal powder to boost protein) in a large Camelbak stainless 18/8 32oz. water bottle (Camelbak uses Tritan plastic tops, which leach the least). 2 boxes of Nutritious Shake on subscribe and save last me 1 month. I add a couple of squirts of Stevia Blueberry and Pomegranate sweetener (not necessary, I just love sweets so use monks' fruit and stevia for my sweeteners) I whir everything with a mixer: it lasts approximately 4 workouts (1+c. each). There are mixers that will fit into a Camelbak water bottle on Amazon. It is SO good tasting, it is better than the smoothies I made in my blender and much more nutritious. And the erythritol is less than 1gr., given the Nutritious Shake and the "O" replacement powder have none.

I read about this meal replacement powder online. A friend of mine has been trying to get me to go on the vegan shakeologies powder plan. But I cannot justify spending 100+ dollars for a 30 day supply of once a day shake powder. I'm sorry I know that it is supposed to have a lot of good stuff in it, but that is a heck of a lot of money. Being a vegetarian I was looking for something that would have all live the proper vitamins and minerals and nutrition I need but in vegan form. I've read all kinds of reviews and ratings and this powder was mentioned over and over. I bought this container of vanilla Bean meal replacement powder. I was mostly using one scoop at a time in my smoothies/smoothie bowls. Only recently have I been putting two scoops into a shaker cup with unsweetened almond milk and a teaspoon of I bought this container of vanilla bean meal replacement powder. I was mostly using one scoop at a time in my smoothies/smoothie bowls. Only recently have I been putting two scoops into a shaker cup with sweetened almond milk and a teaspoon of ICI powder Acai , A spoon of powdered peanut butter, a spoon of either flaxseed or Chia seed. Put some ice cubes, shake it up, it's absolutely delicious and filling and nutritious. For the meal replacement powder I love the nutritional profile. I love that there are plant-based protein, food based vitamins, vegetables, fruits, fiber, sprouts, greens, etc. it's perfect. I am going to buy the chocolate flavored next. But I love the vanilla Bean because it works perfectly with my smoothie/bowls. I've only tried the vegan strawberry shakeologies and to me it had a strong artificially sweetened taste, The vanilla Bean tasted wonderful on its own and a shaker cup with just milk. I tried it once with water and it was OK, but I prefer the almonds milk. Since August I have lost almost 10 pounds without even trying! Now imagine when I get my butt in gear and actually try? I will be unstoppable. I love the shake because it helps me plan my meals. I have to eat first thing in the morning I was recently diagnosed with type two diabetes's. I take a pill and if I do not have some sort of food shortly there after my stomach Rebels 100% lol Everything about this shake is pretty perfect. And I love that I can get an entire month for a fraction of the cost of other vegan shakes. I accidentally bought the protein powder versus the meal replacement powder. I will be trying it for the first time today. I'm sure that I will love it but it does not have everything that the meal replacement has. I will not make that mistake again!

This is really good tasting! I have been using the Orgain Protein powder for a few months now and it is good, but still has some graininess to it. I got this Meal replacement powder to see how it is and I am pleasantly surprised on its taste and texture. Unlike the Protein powder, this mixes up smooth with no graininess whatsoever. It has a nice flavor to it and I don't feel like I need to add anything else to it to enhance it. I also like that the Protein Powder tub and this tub are completely different colors. I am visually impaired and wouldn't like to have to read a label, even just to see if it says Meal vs. Protein. Having such a drastic color difference in the lids/labels makes me very happy.

This is the first time I've tried an Orgain product, I purchased the chocolate fudge flavor meal powder. It has a great ingredient list which is why I decided to try it. It smells so good, like hot cocoa mix. It blends well and has a smooth texture. I use a bullet type blender and not a shaker bottle so I can't speak for how it blends in a shaker. The first day I made it with chocolate almond milk for extra chocolatey-ness, and a banana. It had a yummy chocolate taste but I thought it was way too sweet, like too much stevia or erythritol. I am not a fan of either of these sweeteners, I prefer natural cane sugar, but want to limit sugar so I'm trying different options. The second day I made it with just the chocolate almond milk and no banana, and it tasted much better. It didn't seem as sweet as the first day so I don't know if it was the banana, if there was more sweetener in the scoop the first day (doubtful though since it's all blended in the tub) or if I just got used to the taste in one day. But I enjoyed it so much more the second day, and it will definitely be one of the options I use regularly in whatever powders I rotate through (I like to use two different ones and rotate them each day for breakfast). I didn't have any hunger pangs by the time I had lunch so it does seem to be as satiating as a meal.

I ordered the Chocolate , the taste is ok. It has a strong aftertaste to me. Where my finger is pointing is how full it came. Not sure if I will buy again. I got it on sale so the value use good. It did mix up well with my frozen fruit and almond milk. Not sure on the weight loss since I just got it. Time will tell if I don't return it.

After I got cancer I spent a lot of time looking at triggers or causes for it since it was a one in a million chance to get it. A very common theme is whey proteins and casein protein increasing the rate of cancer cell formation. Essentially they trigger the growth. I got to thinking maybe I am having too much in my diet, so I went through my cabinet of different powders and shakes. Well most anything that isn’t organic and all plant based is nothing but Whey. While searching for a non animal based powder I stumbled upon this whole meal powder. I took the plunge and got the large one in chocolate. This is the best powder I have found so far. I mix it with one other veggie based powder so I can use it up since the other brand isn’t as nice as this. This powder is really fine, and isn’t gritty at all. I was really surprised at how well it mixes with juice, odwalla, water, soy milk, and fruit. It blends together seamlessly and doesn’t get all chunky. My favorite part is how healthy it is and that it doesn’t have any animal products in it. I have been slowly moving away from animal products over the last few years to lessen my carbon footprint and not impact global warming as much. (If you can’t tell I am from Nor. Cal. And am a tree hugging millennial). The worst thing for our globe is the incredibly large amount of animal products and meats we consume. The mass AG Farms have been the greatest contributors to the environmental destruction causing global warming, more so than oil by far. By eating less meat or no meat I feel like at least I am making a tiny impact to better the earth. And by tiny I mean freaking Itty Bitty but hey everything helps right? Pro: - Mixes amazingly well with other powders and fruit - Tastes great, not yucky like other brands - Not gritty at all - Fills you up - Is animal free and lactose free - Scoop actually has a long handle so you can reach in the jar and get what you need Cons: - Haven’t found any yet
