Complete Meal Replacement Shake - Plant Based Protein Powder with Superfoods, Greens & Probiotics - Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Non-Dairy, No Sugar, Non-GMO - Chocolate Caramel 1 lb

Fantastic product. I have a lot of health issues and I really needed something for meal replacement that was easy to swallow and easy to digest. This really hits the mark. I feel so much better after a month of using this that I will never be without it. I purchased the chocolate caramel, and it is delicious.

For years I have had a protein shake every morning for breakfast, so I have tried almost every brand. I will buy this again because: 1. It doesn't create a gel-like consistency when blended into a shake. With other powders, the shake turns kind of gelatinous after a few minutes. The Phood powder does not do this, I can even make my shake in advance, as long as I keep it cold it still taste great hours later. 2. I am a registered nurse so nutrition is very important to me, Phood powder is high quality without any cheap fillers. It is “nutrient-dense” and gets me through the morning. 3. YUMMY and satisfying so I don’t slip up and eat break room junk food. It’s not a weight loss product, but I think it would be an EFFECTIVE WEIGHT-LOSS tool because it keep you full and satisfied all morning. 3. It tastes amazing! NOT CHALKY like other powders. Deliciousness without a bunch of sugar added. 4. Phood powder helps me get my daily greens because it masks the taste of the spinach or kale. 5. Saves $$$. I don’t spend $ on coffee now. I save TONS by not buying coffee every morning - I add a spoonful or two of instant coffee to my smoothie recipe to get my caffeine fix. I save $50 a month! Here is one of my fav recipes: THE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BANANA SMOOTHIE 1 scoop Phood powder 1/2 ripe banana (or more if you like) 1.5 to 2 cups of coconut milk (or any milk you like) 2 cups (or more) of superfood greens like a spinach/baby kale mix 2 packets of Truvia sweetener (or honey if you like) 2 heaping tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (it’s full of antioxidants) (Must be blended in a Nutribullet or another comparable smoothie maker) If you don't like chocolate, you can replace with strawberries. Peanut butter can be replaced with almond or cashew butter. The variations are endless - you’ll never be bored with breakfast again! I hope this review was helpful in answering some of your questions. Happy shopping! ♥️

I really wanted to like this product. I am lactose intolerant and sensitive to whey protein so typical meal replacement shakes don't work out so well for me even when I take digestive enzymes. When I discovered Phood I got really excited; plant based proteins, all organic, omega-3s, probiotics & digestive enzymes right there in the mix! It sounded awesome... then I tasted it. No bueno! It tastes like chocolate flavored grass clippings. The texture is grainy and thick. I tried blending it with frozen fruit and almond milk, even threw in a little honey to sweeten it up, no go - still gross. Listen, I know this is diet food, I'm not expecting a milkshake, but this stuff triggers my gag reflex. I finally decided that the best way to take it is to mix it in a blender bottle with 12oz of water as directed on the box, plug my nose and chug it as fast as I can. Pros: I gave it 3 stars for it's awesome nutritional value and the fact that it completely fills me up for a good 2.5-3 hours. It makes a great meal replacement shake, snack or post workout protein supplement. For vegetarians or those sensitive to whey like myself, our choices are very limited and I am actually very glad that a product like this exists. Cons: It's just not palatable... I'm willing to pretend it's medicine and take it for the time being, if only because my options are so limited and because this is a great product otherwise, but I do hope that PlantFusion does something to fix the texture/flavor. EDIT: I added a star because it's grown on me over the month or so of use. I probably will reorder as I do feel better taking it than I did when I was using a whey based meal replacement shake previously. Also I learned that this product is sweetened with Stevia, a natural sweetener. While that's good, I taste Stevia as bitter and not sweet, as I found a small portion of the population does, which is probably why I don't like the flavor of Phood all that much.

I have always struggled with finding a protein powder/meal shake that would not upset my stomach and still contain all of the vitamins and minerals that I need on a daily basis, as well as supplementing enough protein to keep me full until lunch. While I am not a vegan or vegetarian, this plant-based protein powder provided me a dairy, gluten, soy, and other allergen FREE tasty meal shake that provided everything needed for the day. Along with there being no allergens in this product, it is also advertised as being Non-GMO, which is another important quality for me. The supplement is not certified organic (95% of all ingredients must be organic for this certification), but many of the ingredients used in it are certified organic. The carbs included in this powder are sourced from Organic grains including amaranth, quinoa, and chia. This means that it is also a great source of fiber, and low glycemic, for a longer, slower burning energy. The Essential fatty acids that are supplemented in this powder are multi-sourced, and are sourced from flax, alagin (marine-based oil from algae), and sunflower. All of the vitamins used in this product are advertised as non-synthetic and derived from food sources, making them much more absorbable and bioavailable. The sprouted cruciferous greens used in Phood are also helpful in lowering plasma glucose and insulin levels, making it helpful for digestion and prevention of sugar highs and crashes. The powder is a bit thicker in texture than the regular Plant Fusion powders, but in my opinion, dissolves more easily in both a shaker bottle and a blender; there is much less residue on the sides of either container, and requires less time and effort for mixing in the morning. However, you still need to take a bit of caution when scooping and emptying the powder into your blender or bottle - the powder can "poof" everywhere. When I was more careful and less hasty, the powder was perfect. (You need two scoops of powder per drink for this supplement) It is recommended to consume the mixture in about 20-30 minutes after mixing. The ingredients in the supplement cause the mixture to thicken very quickly, which is why it is so filling and is an excellent meal replacement shake. I found that using one cup of water/coconut milk/almond milk and approximately 6-8 ice cubes (in a blender) makes the perfect consistency, even though the packaging says to use slightly more. I sometimes like to add a raw egg to the mix to make a more creamy and protein packed drink. If you don't like the idea of the egg, you could always use chia seeds or hemp seeds to thicken the mixture up a bit. While this protein is a little bit more expensive than the Plant Fusion protein powder, it provides much more than just protein, including B vitamins, fiber, and the full profile of amino acids. This protein is listed for $37.35 on the Plant Fusion website, not including shipping. It is currently on Amazon for $39.99, with FREE 2 day shipping through Prime. Shipping is not free on other websites. I love Vega supplements, but they are just way too expensive now that I have found this powder. This powder is very tasty (compared to others) and I have so far tried it in Chocolate Caramel. With all of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in this powder and its ease of digestion, I highly recommend it above others if you are trying to find an actual meal replacement shake. I recommend this to everyone, vegan, vegetarian, omnivore alike.

No added sugar is great! Yacon, monk and lucuma fruits as natural sweeteners? Fine. But all I can taste is stevia... I used only half the serving for 16 ounces of unsweetened hemp milk and unsweetened almond milk yet I can barely chug it! Not even close to "chocolate caramel." Is there any company out there that can make a completely unsweetened powdered meal shake without even a little stevia? Pack a little side packet of stevia for consumers to mix into their canister IF they want that version but please, if anyone is listening - can there be an entirely no added sugar + no natural sweeteners version? I'd love to add my own fruits to shakes or my own stevia powder if I must but doing so with this already sweetened version just makes it taste like I'm downing a yucky sweet shake with that signature "sugar-free"/stevia aftertaste. And I've not used the word "yucky" since I was half my height. Unfortunately, my inability to down the shakes prevents me from sharing how my energy levels, tummy satisfaction and overall health has been affected by this product. All I know is I am never buying this again. I bought vanilla too and now reluctant to try it.

I am doing the HCG protocol with prescription injections and I decided to do the longer round as all liquid for a number of reasons. I needed to find a natural meal replacement that was nutritionally as close as possible to Dr. Simeon's protocol. I am exceptionally picky taste-wise and texture-wise so I scoured a lot of products and reviews before I settled on Phood. I was still skeptical about trying it once I received it and the first time around I made the drink as directed with just water (added some ice too) and blended the heck out of it with my Ninja (probably not necessary but didn't want to risk a texture issue). My reaction after the first drink was 'meh'...it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either, I was picking up a slight earthy under-taste (to be expected since it is plant-based). I then undertook the process of experimenting with how I could make the drink more palatable without destroying the healthful benefits and while still keeping it within the parameters of the HCG protocol. Here's the winning combo for me (thoroughly blended): 2 scoops of Phood, Handful of ice, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup cold water, 1/2 tsp cocoa powder, Pinch of stevia. These additions add negligible calories and preserve the healthful profile of the product while making the drink much more enjoyable (at least to me). The modified version reminds me of how the original low-carb Slimfast used to taste before they started f-ing with the formula. Just some additional notes, I've been drinking Phood "shakes" multiple times per day for 7 days now and I look forward to continuing (I came on to place my next order, thus triggering the review). I have no association with this product and have not been compensated in any way for my review, I just like to give props where due. For fellow HCG'ers, the round has been going very well, losses have been on par with previous standard protocol rounds; however, what works for one person may not work well for another. Lastly, be prepared for possible extra gassiness at times, to be expected with a plant-based product. P.S. For the rating, I would give this product 5 stars for the ingredients and composition, 3.75-4 stars in the taste department when prepared as instructed and 5 stars for taste after tweaking it with the modifications listed above. Hope this helps. Thanks! :)

Think of powdered caramel and that is what you will get....can't picture it because I feel like it does not exist. I use 6 oz water and 6 oz chocolate silk milk or very vanilla silk milk. Turns out it tastes better with very vanilla silk milk. It is not bad but I can't really pin point what it is suppose to be. I love the ingredients and it blends well with a traditional blender bottle. I will try other products from this brand but protein powder manufactures need to seriously start selling variety sample packets so you are not stuck with what you don't like or tolerate.

Love this meal replacement! It tastes wonderful in my Teecinnos alt coffee product. In t trying to change my bad habits of drinking too much sugar in coffee. I also bought the plant fusion cocoa greens, which I put in my coffee type drink also! The calories you need to watch but it tastes fantastic. Great price subscribed.
