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>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
