Incredible Texture, Taste, and Nutrition: TRUProteins Caribbean Sunrise Flavor is my Protein of Choice!
So, I am a person that generally can't stand the taste of protein powder or its inability to be smooth and creamy. I have tried whey protein via GNC (not going to label brand) and it was smooth and tasted okay but it made me feel bloated. I am a person whose diet is heavy in vegetables so protein is something that I struggle with. That being said, I have now tried, TRUProteins for a week. Here is my review of the Caribbean Sunrise flavor protein: I decided that I wanted to try it with just water first to see what the protein actually tasted like. I used one scoop in 10 oz of water. I shook the product/water, it blended pretty quickly. It was not completely smooth but it was not gritty either. I could taste a hint of pineapple and coconut. To me, it also had a taste similar to oatmeal that was more pronounced than the other flavors. I love oatmeal so this was not an issue for me (just want to be 100% honest so you have a good idea of taste). The package recommends almond milk. I do not like almond milk at all so I used Lactose-free skim milk instead, 1 1/2 scoop of powder, Dole frozen mixed fruit (peaches, mangoes, pineapples, strawberries), and store brand frozen blueberries. I blended it until creamy. It was absolutely delicious! I drank it for breakfast post-workout. It was super filling and I didn't feel any discomfort or bloat. There are a number of ways that I will probably use the protein (in pancakes, oatmeal, etc) and will update if anything changes. But, all in all, it is a great protein: all natural, no fillers, or thickeners, plant protein (quinoa, hemp pea, rice); texture is smooth, blends easily - even in water; taste (for Caribbean Sunrise) is great: I taste more oatmeal with a hint of pineapple/coconut; however, adding the frozen fruits really add to the flavor. This is my new protein choice. I look forward to trying new flavors and will update my recommendation (along with how it works with other recipes). Amazing quality.

does not taste like any other brands I have tried before
First of all, this is delicious. No aftertaste, not chalky, does not taste like any other brands I have tried before. I bought the Cote D'Ivoire and the Caribbean mix, too. It's really even good with water just stirred or shaken; but it is amazing in the blender with water and banana. I don't drink milk at all, so I did (hesitantly) try with Almond milk ...it's almost too filling for me personally with the almond milk. After a couple days, I did go back to blending just with water, because I think the combination of all protein, almond milk and blending lots of air into the drink was a shock to my system and left me bloated. I got my husband hooked on this, too. The bloating did not happen to him at all. I'm hooked on the Cote d'Ivoire with banana and Trader Joes peanut butter with flax seed; which has low sugar and low sodium.I bought this product as meal replacements because I had the bad habit of skipping meals and felt tired a lot and not very healthy. I have so much energy, I FEEL GREAT. I have never been a breakfast person at all, and now I have one of these shakes every morning and I am not hungry, not tired, when I arrive at work! I'm very happy with the purchase, and look forward to trying the blank slate mix as well. As a matter of fact, I feel so good that it definitely helps me make better choices the rest of the day with what I eat.

Great stuff.
Read some reviews stating that this powder has a gritty texture.. well yeah.. If you read the ingredients you'll see why it has a somewhat gritty texture, no matter how well you blend flax and chia seeds, they're always going to be somewhat gritty. The vanilla tastes great with just milk but my favorite way to make it is with milk, frozen banana and strawberries and ice. Soo creamy and delicious and satisfies my hunger and helps curb cravings. The Caribbean flavor is by far my favorite. I mix it with water, a bit of orange juice and frozen pineapple and dear lord it tastes like a pina colada. I did not like the chocolate flavor at all. It tasted very strange, nothing like chocolate. But again, vanilla and Caribbean are delicious. Probably some of the best tasting protein powder I've ever tried and the price isn't bad either.
