Garden Of Life protein powder



Recommended Posts

Anyone on here use this? I've been thinking of trying them but they are so pricey I was afraid, but at this price I might give it a shot. Recommendations? (And yes I do get credit if you click the link below and purchase, but would love feedback you don't have to purchase!):

I like them (all flavors) but not everyone does. The biggest thing different from other Protein powders is the texture. Since the Protein comes from sprouted seeds, it will not dissolve. It is more like a suspension and its best to mix them in a Blender Bottle so you can shake it up before taking a drink. I add insoluble Fiber (ground flax seed and apple fiber) to all of my protein smoothies, so I get this texture no matter what Protein powder I use and I don't mind it.

I also use the Raw Protein and Raw Fit to flavor my plain Greek yogurt. The texture isn't such a factor when mixed this way. From a nutritional standpoint they are an excellent choice. I'm a big fan of whole food based supplements, so I also take their Vitamin Code for Women as my Multivitamin as well as their Raw D3.

BTW, check for them in your local health food store. They often sell individual packets you could try before buying a whole jug.

I haven't found single serving sizes yet but maybe I will try a few more places looking for them!

I like to flavor Greek Yogert with my Protein powder as well. Interesting on the texture/suspension thing! I think I could handle that. I often drink my Protein shake in a Blender Bottle and shake before drinking with my Matrix ones bc they can be sandy, so I get what you are saying.

Appreciate the feedback!

Yes I use several of the Protein powders. I'm a Vega fan though. You can also get Lifetime that is cheaper than all of them.

Thanks haven't heard of Lifetime, I will look for it!

I bought Raw fit high Protein for weight loss at The Vitamin Shoppe and did not like it. It is indeed gritty. The Vitamin shop was also selling samples.< /p>

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
