PALEOETHICS PE Sport Vegan Recovery Matrix High Performance Nighttime Recovery Tea Powder, Natural Peppermint Chai Flavor, 5 Ounce (30 Servings)

Paleo Ethics is quite the gem when it comes to high quality #workoutsupplements.I have used a fair share of recovery supplements, out of them all Paleo Ethics - Recovery Matrix is the most innovative, delicious, and truly soothing recovery mix that I have tried.If you're looking for a fantastic post workout supplement, look no further than Paleo Ethics - Recovery Matrix.

Yes its true the taste isn't the "best" but that's something you have to expect with something like this. Eveyone expects all of their supplements to taste like rainbow sherbert and vanilla lattes, those supps are probably loaded with artificial things to give you that taste, so this is the real deal.Outside of taste: i sleep like a baby when I take this, part the peppermint, part probably a little bit of a placebo affect but thats 100% fine with me. Plus it's a nice little wind down from the rest of the day. I wake up refreshed and have started being able to jump out of bed at my first alarm happily since i've been taking this. Highly recommend (...as long as you can tolerate not being too picky about flavor..)

Tried it for the first time yesterday. Awful smell, smells like wet dog food to be exact lol. But the taste isn't bad at all. My friend who is vegan said to try the vegan version next time, so I think I will go with that next time. Overall though, haven't noticed anything yet, but have only tried it once, so we will see after I work out today. I do really like their Super Greens supplement too, I noticed a change right away and felt more awake and replenished.

Great product for recovering from a heard workout or even just a long hard week. Helps you get right to sleep and stay that way.

Good product. Not sure of results yet but I like te taste.

Tasty, been sleeping better and feeling more refreshed the next day to put in more work.

"This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."I wish I knew this before I purchased it. Definitely returning this.

First, this nighttime tea is delicious. I look forward to having a cup before bed. It seems to calm me down and gets my recovery going so I can get back in the gym and lift heavy. Love this stuff.

This drink is really chalky and does not taste that great. It does not dissolve well in water and most of it sinks to the bottom

This tea is amazing! Amino acids help your body with the recovery process while zinc and magnesium help improve the quality of your sleep! This tea doesn’t make you sleepy or drowsy, just helps you optimize the sleep that you do get per night- Genius! I’ve been having a cup every night and I can honestly say that it helps me relax and hey any of the other added benefits are a bonus!

I've been drinking this before bed for the last 3 nights and it really has improved my sleep. I typically wake up a few times during the night and toss and turn, but for the last few days that I've used this "tea" I haven't woken up (or at least I don't remember waking up).Opening the bag for the first time I got a huge wiff of mint. There's a very subtle Chai scent as well. Personally I didn't smell or taste the vanilla flavour at all. For me this tea tastes like a herbal mint tea with a light Chai spice. It's sweet so you don't need to add anything to the powder besides water.I make a cup of it and drink it an hour before bed while I'm doing other things. It's tasty and I usually drink tea before bed anyways so it fits into my routine. I make mine using the 12 ounces of boiling water. The powder mixes well, however some granules sink to the bottom if you don't stir your drink after letting it cool.Like it says in the product description it DOES NOT make you drowsy or sleepy, it just helps you get better sleep.Overall it has made my sleep better since I started to drink it. I love not waking up in the middle of the night for no reason!

This tea-like drink is meant to put the amino acids back into one's body which help with one's recovery after a day of sporting activities. It's also suppose to improve one's quality of sleep with nutrients like zinc and magnesium added to the mixture. I tried some last night and it's a pleasant drink which tastes mostly like peppermint with hints of vanilla and chai. One simply heats up 10-12 ounces of water and adds a scoop of the mix with the measuring device that is included. It's a good, tasty alternative to caffeine drinks if one wants to have something to drink in the evening. It says this is to be taken before going to bed, but consuming this much water before bed kept me up most of the night. I would actually recommend using half this amount before bed, which I've tried, though I still did not notice any sleep benefits over not drinking anything at all. I do like the fact that this is vegan, and if one wants this could easily be added to a smoothie. All in all I like the taste, and enjoy the product as an alternative to other teas, but I question whether or not the product provides enough benefits to justify the cost. This package is 5oz(143 grams), which is a little more than half a cup for about $33. I noticed also that this product leaves a hard clear textured residue in a glass which my dishwasher was unable to remove so I had to soak the glass in water and then rub an abrasive pad against the surface in order to remove the film. I would recommend rinsing and cleaning the glass immediately after use so as to prevent this hard residue from forming since it isn't particularly easy to remove once it has dried.

As you can see from the product information, it is a small 143 gram bag. In terms of taste and smell it is a very unique the peppermint/chai mix is very alluring and delicious to drink. It is a little weird creating tea from a powder though - which leads me to the strangest part of this item, who wants their recovery drink in tea format?? I was a little suspicious of the product when I read that it contained "pea protein" but after doing research, it seems like an important protein supplement for people with casein and whey allergies. It also contains many of the properties of casein protein which is a standard recovery protein to be taken before bed that releases slowly while you are fasting during sleep. Why am I giving it a low rating? The nutritional information says that it has 20 calories and 3 grams of protein per ~5 gram scoop (a scoop is included)! This is barely worth eating! Most casein, whey, and protein supplements suggest a 30 gram serving which isn't even enough for 5 servings from this small bag (and even then it only offers about 18 grams of protein)! Considering this bag is about $33 that seems ridiculous in the long run. A quick search on the internet and I was able to find a 2.2kg bag of unflavored pea protein for $20 CAD (equivalent of more than 15 bags of this product). That is $0.27 per 30g serving versus $6.92 per 30g serving from this product - the flavor is delicious and the gimmick of drinking it as a tea is unique (2 stars), but there is no way I can justify the cost.
