Tastes good when made in blender and very satisfying but soy can cause gas
I've enjoyed the premade version so reading the powdered version wasn't the same didn't surprise me. But a lot of reviews claim it tastes terrible and was so different they threw it away. Luckily, I trusted the company and tried this product anyway. Contrary to those low-star reviews, I disagree that it doesn't taste similar, and when mixed in a blender you almost can't tell the difference. I use a small portable version.  Just using a shaker cup doesn't blend it as successfully but ok if you just need that satisfying shake to stave off snack cravings. I find this meal replacement to be very satisfying and helps stop me from craving excess food. I do 2 scoops to actually replace a meal, 1 scoop to stave off snacking (note: the container says 1/2 c is for 8oz & 2/3 c (2 scoops) is for 12 oz). Not as creamy as the premade but probably not as many additives, either. Unfortunately, I've realized this product causes stomach discomfort so I can't enjoy it as often as I would like. If you pop and enzyme pill and a probiotic pill just before, it helps a lot with the gas.
