How We Graded Them
Here are the four metrics we used to determine each protein powder’s final grade.
Eat This, Not That!
The shake’s consistency was quite smooth and far from gritty.
There are way better versions out there and you’ll get to them in a jiffy.
My “this will be fun” experience quickly and darkly turned into a much scarier moment.
No, this does not taste like chocolate.
No, this does not taste like peanut butter.
What it does taste like is pulverized produce and crushed expectations.
So if you’re into the whole holding-a-green-shake-because-it-looks-cool vibe, then you’ll probably appreciate the Hulk-hued blend.
Sadly, the powder’s grainy texture wasn’t as debatably impressive as its color.
(After all, it does contain organic marine algae and spirulina.)
Taste:Excessively sweet and long-lasting stevia aftertaste.
Once more liquid was added, it was delightfully smooth.
Taste:This is where Garden of Life lost us.
In addition to that, this shake was oddly saltier than a handful of pretzels.
Plus, the taste is significantly more tolerable than other whey-based powders.
Shaking it up with some soymilk improved the consistency by leaps and bounds.
The natural, low-glycemic coconut sugar adds a mild sweetness without an unpalatable aftertaste.
Say Aloha to our favorite protein powder!
