Nature's Plus - Spirutein Chai Latte, 1.1 lb powder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While trying to find a plant protein-based smoothie/shake powder for the Fat Flush Detox Plan, I was also looking for a cheaper alternative than the ones provided in the book, as well as First Magazine, where I first read about this plan. I purchased a single-serve packet at a health food store, and this flavor was the one I chose. In all, this is a really good meal replacement!
Pros: 1.) Nutritionally sound. If taking vitamins in pill form isn't for you, you can drink 1 shake/smoothie a day and be fine (I will be drinking 2 a day). 2.) It is satisfying, and kept my hunger away for almost three hours. Used to consume and "stan" for the Right Size Smoothies, but this tastes better to me, not to mention cheaper...and I didn't have to drink water afterwards! 3.) This induces energy. After I got through drinking this, I had to go to an exercise boot camp class. I managed to keep focused on the workout enough to actually finish without feeling too dizzy, and feel great afterwards. Must be the protein! 4.) Being a diabetic, this kept my blood sugar on an even keel. I didn't have to take my usual dose of insulin when I consumed this.
Cons: 1.) From what I've read from other reviewers, you'd rather use a blender than to manually mix this with whatever you use. The directions say that it's easy to mix manually. Since I've done powders before, I knew to put this in a blender with six ice cubes and 8 oz. of almond milk, and I didn't have a problem with it, but I put the powder in after the milk and ice were blended together. 2.) The weird "greenish" color almost turned me off. Do all the Spiru-tein shakes have that in common? 3.) At first, it had a chalky aftertaste. But as I kept drinking it, it got better, and I really started to taste the chai latte flavor that I love so much. Have to acquire a taste for this if you are new to plant-based shakes in general. This was my first one.
These products also have their own website if you want to do further research, to check out the ingredients as well as the benefits of consuming plant proteins. And as an aspiring ovo-vegetarian, this keeps me committed to the lifestyle!
