Pretty pricey Protein for not so amazing toilet bennies
I don't do many reviews, but I felt compelled on this one. I was really excited to get this and try it out. Most of the reviews previous to mine were people reviewing the protein before they had even used it for an extended period of time. I wanted to wait until I had exhausted the entire container. First things first: The Good<br />The protein is exactly what you would want from a plant based protein. I found it tasted like Vanilla Chai Tea (which wasn't too bad for me). Each scoop contains ~20G of protein which isn't too bad either. At times I have found protein powders to bloat me up a bit, and I didn't get that from this. Overall I felt that is was a great product and stood up to its claims so far.<br />The Bad<br />Unfortunately I have to write this part, I was really hoping that I wouldn't find anything wrong and I could keep buying this as my main source of protein! The most obvious 'bad' about this product is its price point of ~$60. I didn't pay close attention to the amount that they give you but for 20 scoops of Protein, $60 is way too much. That is roughly $3 per scoop. There is no other protein (plant based or otherwise) that costs this much. If I were to use this as my main Protein, I would have to buy at least 2 containers just to get through a single month. I was really disappointed to get such a small container. IsoPure which, is on the high end of the protein suppliment market is about  $1 per scoop and give you 25 Grams of protein. Now I know Isopure is whey base, and this is not, but even Vega Protein (a competitor of this product) give you 25 grams per scoop at a cost of $1.50 per scoop. So for over double the price, I just didn't find that I got double the benefits..which I was disappointed about. If this were $35 or so (bringing my cost per scoop down to normal ranges) I wouldn't mind using this for a longer period to continue my trial and see if I realize other benefits, but it is simply too cost prohibitive.<br /><br />Additionally, I found that everyday I used this protein, my bowel movements were hard as rocks...rather painful at times, and even more uncomfortable to write about. :) Each day during my trial that I substituted use of lentein with my regular IsoPure protein, everything was immediately back to normal. Go back to this protein, and back came the Rocks...I don't know what caused it but I know the only variable I had in my dieting was the use or non-use of this protein.<br /><br />Bottomline, if you want an expensive plant based protein look no further. But for the price, I can't personally see benefits that equal the hole in my wallet. I honestly wish I could, because I wanted to love this product. Unfortunately it falls into the 'average' category for me.
