Garden of LifeProtein Powder, Vegan Protein Powder, BCAA, Probiotics & Digestive Enzymes, Gluten & Lactose Free, Vanilla, 1.5 LBUSDA Organic

I’ve been using Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein for years now, and it remains a staple in my kitchen. I first discovered it through a sample at Whole Foods, and I was immediately impressed by the clean ingredients and great flavor—especially for a plant-based protein powder.As a vegetarian, I’ve found it hard to find protein powders that are both high-quality and easy on the stomach. This one delivers. It blends beautifully into my morning smoothies and adds a nice texture without being gritty. The flavor is mild and pleasant, which also makes it perfect for baking—I’ve used it in muffins and pancakes without any odd aftertaste.What I also love is the ingredient list. It's real, organic nutrition I can trust. I rotate between a few flavors from Garden of Life, but this one (Vanilla) is probably my most-used.I highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, reliable plant-based protein powder. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to add more plant protein to your diet, this is a solid go-to.

Excelente producto y de muy buena calidad 👍

Best plant based protein powder I’ve found so far. Mikes best with water, easy on the stomach and tasty.

Very good!

I love this protein shake. I have tried others but I keep coming back to this one. It's full of great healthy stuff and tastes great.

I am so disgusted and appalled by the findings of extremely HIGH AND DANGEROUS levels of heavy metals in the Garden of Life products. I literally clicked purchase on a canister of the chocolate raw protein powder yesterday...and I noticed an increase in 1 star reviews- I started reading and did some research and within an hour CANCELLED my order! I have been a dedicated consumer of Garden of Life products for 3 years. Having an autoimmune disease, I have gone to great lengths to eat as healthy and clean as possible and have used their powders as supplements in the morning and when traveling (nearly daily for 3 years)...and to think they could be contributing to my condition is leveling.What is worse is the original research findings, article and related links have nearly all been taken down or changed. This move to me completely puts Natural News (who originally reported the data) and Garden of Life's credibility in poor light. They are now reporting a "collaboration on stricter standards and practices.."..blah..blah. Praising them for their amazing "PR" move is wearisome. An agreement for better standards is great..if it even happens (which is now the only thing being reported even by the original "watch dog" who broke the research for the public)...but having been a part of similar "agreements" in various industries as a marketing and strategy partnership professional...it is actually quite laughable. They need to pull their products off shelves, do a recall for the ones out there with refunds, apologize and take true responsibility. Shame on them also for "not knowing their farmers" as well as they should.If this were another industry (auto, oil, airline, toy industry)..the mainstream media and public would be carrying pitchforks and torches...it baffles me how big and deep the cover-ups go in the food industry and Garden of Life should fall from grace because of this. Shame on Amazon as well for continuing to support and sell their products. If this were a child's toy covered in heavy metals- everyone would be crying for blood from this company. I am as disappointed as everyone else who loved their products..and I desperately didn't want to believe it..as I was drinking my protein shake yesterday and hitting "buy" on Amazon...and noticed this information. Thank you other reviewers for pointing this out.I hope Garden of Life gets sued.....and they lose marked business from this...they have lost me and I will do ALL I can to let others know not to buy their products.Thank you.

I was so excited when I read the item description. Finally I found a product that was made from "whole foods", was in its healthy, raw state, and therefore compliant with my "lifestyle diet". I glanced at the main ingredients and was impressed. I had it delivered overnight.Now, I keep pretty up to date with nutritional science. And there's a LOT of research out there that contradicts each other. However, one big piece of news that shook the health food community was the bad news about erythritol. Erythritol is used at concentrations at least 1,000 times the natural levels found in food or our bodies. This is what Mayo Clinic has to say:"A 2021 study examined people who consumed erythritol or a similar sugar alcohol, xylitol. The results found that ingesting erythritol as a sugar substitute caused a spike in blood levels and increased the stickiness of the volunteers’ platelets. Platelets help the blood to clot if we cut ourselves, but if they are sticky, the risk of blood clots in the body increases, raising our risk of heart attack, stroke or other vascular issues."I am surprised that a company like Garden of Life would use such a sweetener in their protein powder. Same with guar gum. I understand that it makes one feel fuller (since it has 8 times the thickening ability of cornstarch), and adds fiber while being low in calories, but I thought I bought a completely raw, relatively lightly processed product. The label "raw" really only applies to the protein part of this product, NOT the entire product. I probably shouldn't have simply trusted and should have read the entire list of ingredients (or should have anticipated that even the "good" companies use "deceptive" yet smart marketing...)I bought two containers - and will now have to send them back.

New and improved one is good I mix it with unsweetened almond milk and add instant coffee very good. I use a smaller scoop because I feel that the scoop it came with is too big
