Complete Meal

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.

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.

Excellent goût. Pas trop sucré. Avec une grossesse gémellaire il me faut plus des vitamines, minéraux, oligo-éléments et protéines est ce produit offre une belle mélange de tout ça. Je le bois en smoothie ou shake est les deux sont très bons.

Bought this for the girlfriend as a replacement for the overly expensive Shakeology. Same basic ingredients and benefits. She loves it and works great.

Great alternative to shakeology
