Seems like a really well planned product and nice blend of proteins and supplements. I find the price point to be a bit ridiculous for such a little bag, and the product does not mix easily. There is a chalky aftertasteThis is a somewhat gritty meal replacement powder, but given its natural contents, plant based protein, and high fiber content, that is to be expected. It does make for a creamy, somewhat chocolatey drink, and when mixed into a smoothie, it is very enjoyable. I've been using this for a while and am impressed with how filling and nutritious it is. I got it for working out due to the high protein content (30 g), but with all of the other ingredients, it is handy for when I skip a regular meal. My batch has a manufacture date of 05/2021 and is Best Before 24 months.Made in India~ KortMoringa powder which is the third ingredient is an inexpensive and nice form of sustenance. I've had it in varying forms over the years including tea and while I like it it's not one of my favorites.Pea and Rice protein are fairly easy to come by and while I prefer it to soy there are forms of why I like as it takes longer to absorb and there are other vegan source of protein like HEMP which I prefer even more.This drink no matter how made is extremely quick to clump down to the bottom to the point roughly 20% isn't consumed unless water is poured over it, OR it is all swallowed in under 1 minute. This is thereby not a type of shake one can enjoy. I have some protein and meal replacement drinks that are enjoyable over time and I switch between coconut non-dairy and almond or water. Because this doesn't taste good and is to be consumed quickly, I recommend water. A strawberry like smell is apparent, but the actual taste of strawberries is subtle enough I question if I'd think of it immediately as strawberry without the scent and knowing its flavor profile.Overall, it's still 840g of protein in total - for most men this is recommended as enough for 10 days and women around 13 days. At $60 per bag the protein amount certainly works nicely, but, there are other protein mixes including casein that I like more, which costs less, and tastes better.This might be the best tasting vegan protein powder I've tried! It's very finely milled powder and doesn't taste chalky or chunky like many other protein powders do, and the strawberry flavor is realistic without being overly sweet. It blends well in a blender or blender bottle, and is delicious with almond milk, oat milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice. It's also great in smoothies, and with a whopping 28g of protein per serving, it helps me get the nutrients I need without consuming animal products.It's sweetened with stevia, an all-natural sweetener that packs much more flavor than natural sugars without nearly as many side effects. It also contains moringa extract - a nutrition-packed superfood that normally doesn't taste great, but they've managed to disguise the flavor somehow! I've never seen moringa in another protein powder, and adding pure moringa to my smoothies definitely effects the taste, so this is a great way to get the benefits of this healing plant without compromising flavor. It also contains curcuma extract from turmeric, a powerful healing and anti-inflammatory herb, so this protein powder is a great choice for workout recovery. It is one of the pricier options I've tried, but it's a high quality product and I actually enjoy it - no more choking down chalky, flavorless shakes!Like, who doesn't include a scoop that is sized for their suggested portion? Luckily for me I have other protein powders with scoops and found one that was close to holding the 33 grams of powder suggested for a serving. I also find the label confusing and not well organized, and it took me a bit to find the ingredients, as they just kind of blend in with the other information. And no flavor on the label, they had to put a flavor sticker on the bag. So the label must still in the works.As for the powder, I'm impressed with that. Has a good flavor comparable to other pea protein powders, but this isn't just pea protein, but Moringa protein which I wanted to try to see how it tastes and mixes. Tastes great to me - but very mild strawberry flavor, more of a hint of flavor. I'd love for it to have a strong strawberry kick, which would make this more of a treat and more satisfying. But it is good like it is.Mixes well, and I can actually mix this with a spoon and only end up with a few small lumps floating around - unlike pea protein blends that require a blender of some type to mix it, or you end up with nothing but wet coated lumps of power. So, I really love being able to mix it on the run and not have to set up my stick blender (which is super-fast too), but I can just pour, dump, stir and go.I also have zero issue with digesting this, no stomach aches or upsets, or belly pains, nothing that puts me off to using this protein blend. Price seems to change as this was $52.49 when ordered and is now $60, which puts this around $2 bucks per serving - still within a competitive price range for fairly comparable products.This is a nice, small package of vegan protein. The nutritional benefits are pretty good and I like the flavor. It doesn't taste artificial or too sweet. The powder mixes well in my blender with frozen fruit and almond milk.Unfortunately this package doesn't come with a scoop or instructions on a size scoop to use. I estimated using another protein powder scoop, but I've been using this more than the 6 servings on the package so obviously the scoop I used was too small. That also means I didn't get all the nutrients and protein I thought I was. They should either include a scoop or tell you what size cup to use to measure.The package also makes it somewhat hard to scoop once you get to the bottom of the envelope.
