Sun warrior rips, specifically their chocolate collagen boosting line is so so smooth and tasty
I use the vanilla collagen boosting one and just add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to it. I like chocolate but theirs is like "death by chocolate" which my son LOVES but it's a little too much for me :)
I like sun warrior! Been using it for almost 2 years every morning! The vanilla is my favorite, but they have several flavors. The chocolate one is extremely chocolatey.

I've found Sun Warrior to be the best bang for the buck. That's just for protein to add to berry or peanut butter/banana smoothies. I get other nutrients from the Costco almond milk that I blend in. I recently tried the PLNT lemon sugar cookie for when I just want to use a shaker. It's pretty tasty.
Sun warrior is great - adding a frozen banana makes anything smooth
I love sunwarrior too! But showed my partner the CR article tonight and he searched online for sunwarrior + lead and didn't like what he found. Apparently they've had problems even though they didn't get called out in the article. They had at least one settlement they had to make about it. Though it's very hard to read the legal brief, not being a lawyer. For now, I'm going to finish my tubs and contract the company to see if they will release the 3rd party testing results to me. I have difficulty with gastritis and sunwarrior is one of my most digestible protein sources.
