Been consuming the cocoa one for the past 6 months now. Love it! Haven't tried the coffee one yet so can't compare.
Has anyone noticed a huge change in the OWYN Chocolate Pro Elite Protein Powder? The tubs I got delivered in early April were way different. They tasted very strange, way worse and way less chocolatey, it was noticeable even from the color as it was towards orange rather than the normal dull brown. The customer service rep I talked to seemed to think it was just a change in the forumla. Can someone who has gotten it in mid April or later confirm that there actually was a change? I'm praying I just got a bad batch or something cuz its my favorite protein powder by far.
I got one in April and it seems the same to me.
Owyn is pretty good and cost effective at Costco. The pro elite has 33 grams of protein. Tvp (not a shake, more like a plant based crumble) is also amazing, for every quarter cup it's 80 calories to 12 grams of protein.

OWYN is a great vegan powder . If you’re meal supplementing, I recommend the elite line that has 30g of protein.
I like Fairlife, but I’m one of the people who can’t tolerate carrageenan well and it was exacerbated by the Zepbound. Got the worst abdominal pain and cramps and was miserable for days. I get the Only What You Need vegan protein that is 30g protein and 0g sugar in chocolate, and I think it’s tasty and does the job well. I add half a frozen banana and either almond milk or Fairlife milk if I need to squeeze in more protein for the day. Sometimes a spoonful of PB2 as well.
