I have used a different brand of long and short acting protein mix powder for years. I won’t say what one, but it rhymes with “wombat.” Sadly it’s changed formulas and doubled in price as so many things have these days. So I searched for a new protein. I tried a few. After a popular vegan brand literally made me vomit in my mouth, I went back to animal based and tried this one. Honestly, I wish I had switched to this brand a LONG time ago. It tastes great, includes whole foods and sustains as meal replacements should. It takes a little longer to mix but it’s worth the extra 10 seconds of effort. I’m looking forward to trying more of the other products this brand offers next. Good stuff!Was excited to order this as the trail packs can be hard to find. However upon receiving the product I did not receive the trail packs I just received the standard package with loose powder, which has to be refrigerated after opening and is not travel friendly. Kind of ruined the whole reason I ordered in the first place (looking for travel friendly option)Excellent flavor with no chalky or gritty taste. Dissolves very well and has quality ingredients. I add local farm fresh milk and it comes out nice and creamy! Highly recommend!I had this product highly recommended to me by a co-worker so I decided to try it for myself. I'm 35 years old and I've tried dozens of different protein shakes and meal replacers dating back to high school so I think I have some good perspective. See the attached picture for nutritional info.Pros:This meal replacer is loaded with quality ingredients, such as servings of fruits and vegetables and the vanilla powder doesn't contain any artificial sweeteners.Great source of protein (from low lactose milk protein isolate and whey isolate), calcium and a dozen different vitamins.Only 2g of sugar per serving plus 4g of dietary fibers in the vanilla powder. Chocolate powder has 1g of sugar and 6g of dietary fibers.Great taste. I know that's subjective, but there are reviews that say the taste is horrible and I disagree. I've had a lot of shakes from powder that taste horrific and this product isn't one of them.Cons:ExpensivePowder doesn't fully dissolve or at least it seems gritty or grainy when mixed in a shaker.Cons update: Chocolate powder contains sucralose, which I am not a fan of.Honestly, I don't mind the grit. Maybe because a lot of protein powders and meal replacements from years ago were the same way and I'm used to it. I found that when I mixed this with a water and unsweetened almond milk, the grit is much less noticeable. If you can mix it in a blender, you'll get the best results.The high cost is the main reason I don't rate this at five stars. The quality is definitely 5 star worthy and I love the product, but the cost is high enough to keep me from buying it more often. Its kind of like the most luxurious vehicles. You'd buy one in a heartbeat if they weren't so expensive.Summary: I recommend this product, especially if the cost isn't an issue for you. The quality is better than any other meal replacement I've used in the past.Update: I bought the chocolate flavor for the first time and wanted to add an image of the nutritional info and share my thoughts. I was disappointed to see that the chocolate powder contains sucralose rather than Stevia, which is in the vanilla powder. I do like the taste of the chocolate powder, but it is super sweet and has a hint of artificial sweetener taste, which I don't like. It's not nearly as bad a drinking a diet soda, but there is a hint of that flavor. To summarize: I prefer the vanilla powder over the chocolate powder, but I would still buy the chocolate powder again.Use it for work outLove the flavors and the product really helps with curbing your appetite if losing weight is your goal! Used Ammo back in 2018 and decided to try it again in 2021 but they changed the packaging to a bag form. The bag isn't that big of a deal but the 2nd day I opened it the ziploc already peeled away from the bag which is kind of disappointing and now I need to put it in a different container. If they're sticking with bags they definitely need to find a better way for the ziploc to stay attached to the bag.Not chalky tasting. Choc and the cookies/cream both taste great and the added fiber is a great bonus.
