Garden of Life - Raw Organic Protein & Greens

I've been using Garden of Life Protein+Greens Vanilla. Goes great with vanilla almond milk.

I like the Garden of Life protein and greens. The chocolate and vanilla taste good to me. Most of the other ones make my stomach hurt.

I do garden of eden protein and greens. It’s plant based. An acquired taste but delicious when blended with almond milk, bananas, oats, honey and chia

This is a whole giant essay about my journey over the past 18 months trying to find a protein shake or bar that I can tolerate. TLDR: Carnation instant breakfast powder plus a scoop of protein powder of choice, and Clif Builder bars. I can't stand the way any of the ready to drink protein shakes taste and the thick texture of most of them gives me the ick. I cannot stand the way sucrolose/Splenda tastes. I also don't care for stevia or monk fruit as sweeteners because they both taste bitter to me, but I can tolerate in small amounts. I have found that most protein powders, shakes, and bars aggravate my IBS and cause me belly pain and bloating. Side note, whey protein and cow milk makes my hormonal acne flare up, so I have to put limits there. The only flavored whey protein powders I can tolerate are the Clean Simple Eats brand, but they use xylitol and stevia/monk fruit. Also they are hella expensive. I have no GI issues from the Garden of Life or Sunwarrior warrior blend vegan protein powders--they both have stevia but not too much, and the finished shakes do not taste overly sweet or bitter to me. The only protein bar I will eat now is by Clif, the Builders protein bar sweetened with sugar. 20g of protein and no GI upset for me. So, all that being said, I have been using good ol' Carnation chocolate instant breakfast powder blended with milk/soy milk/oat milk and a scoop of Garden of Life vegan vanilla protein + greens powder. Tastes like a chocolate malt. Sometimes I add a little Nescafe instant cold brew coffee powder to make it like a mocha. The GoL powder is gritty but it is tolerable if I use a milk frother or mini blender to mix and drink it with a straw. The amount of powdered milk in the Carnation instant breakfast doesn't trigger my hormonal acne when I use a vegan protein powder and soy or oat milk.

I like pea protein blends. I like Garden of Life, OWYN, and Orgain.

I do the unflavored Garden of Eden, which is the least objectionable one I've found.

I find most protein powders (most use casein protein) taste like cardboard. Garden of Life has vegan protein that, imo, tastes great.

Garden of life has my vote

Garden of Life's plant-based protein powder is marginally cheaper, actually. Plus the calories are lower. https://preview.redd.it/4kpmuqu9kieg1.png?width=2946&format=png&auto=webp&s=edbb3c7965f3e5b7a562a911cc1cc6f56d6d3995

Garden of Life is the cheapest vegan protein powder that I've found, coming in at $6.34/100g protein. Also the calories/100g protein is decent, at 566.
