Greens Powder- Vegan Protein +Greens Vanilla Flavor

I like the ingredients, I like the taste (not too strong but similar to other protein powders) I have not had any bad reactions or gas or anything like that and I feel good about the product. I prefer the vanilla over chocolate but to each their own.

I’ve tried both the Chocolate and Vanilla flavor of this Vegan protein power and I prefer the Vanilla personally. It is nice to add to my post-workout smoothie with a frozen banana or other frozen fruits and some milk/dairy alternative. It already contains some healthy veggie powders but you can add other vegetables (celery, spinach, kale, etc. ) to boost the healthiness. I do like that it's low in carbohydrates so it's ideal for days when you're trying to keep your carb intake low while still getting enough protein to build muscle.

The powder mixes easily with just a shaker bottle, you’d don’t have to blend it to get a smooth consistency.

I didn't have very high expectations of this Vegan Protein Powder + Greens. My experience is that healthy things don't taste good. When I opened the jar, I was nicely surprised by the smell. It's the sweet vanilla smell that I liked. This protein powder is easy to blend and tastes really good - a bit like soy milk and no strange after taste. With 20g protein each scoop and the addition of superfoods like spinach, kale, chia seeds, quinoa, I highly recommend this protein powder!

One question I had: It says on the jar that this is made in Canada. However, in the Amazon description, it says it was made in an FDA inspected facility. Why would the FDA inspect a Canadian manufacturer? I googled and found out that the FDA does inspections outside of the US. 5 out 5 stars, bravo!

Good but pricey.

I've used other Active Greens products before, and I've always been happy with them.

Being vegan now for over 20 years, I can tell you that I've tried just about every protein powder product on the market. Some are good and others are downright nasty. Fortunately, both this vanilla and the chocolate flavors of this protein powder + greens product tastes pretty good (above average), but not amazing.

There are several things I love about this powder, and a few things that I don't.

First off, I really appreciate this product is made in Canada, however, there is no country of origin for the ingredients - specifically the cocoa (in their chocolate flavor) and rice. Both ingredients are known to be sourced from less than ethical sources, and without knowing how Active Greens sources them, we can only guess.

I do like the fact that this powder is fairly low in calories at just over 100 calories per serving. Given that it has an ample 20g of protein from mixed sources, I would consider it a high-quality protein.

The sodium content is pretty low and the iron content is an impressive 33% for the vanilla flavor and 47% for the Chocolate.

The powder blends easily, even in a battery-powered portable blender, which is always a plus. I don't get any gritty taste to it, either.

Unfortunately, this powder doesn't appear to use any organic ingredients, which many vegan protein powders do. On the plus side, the cost per serving is lower with this powder vs some others I've tried.

On a side note, I don't think the "seen on TV" logo helps with the credibility of this powder, since I often associate "seen on TV" with very cheap products. But that's my opinion.

Overall, I am happy with both the vanilla and chocolate versions of this product.
