Great quick breakfast on the go.
I use this as a meal replacement in the morning as I don't take the time nor have the appetite for a conventional breakfast. Before this it was coffee and whatever I grabbed when I got to work, usually a leftover cookie or croissant sort of thing. I discovered this at my local co-op in single use packs for mixing with your beverage of choice. I use coconut or almond milk and a sport shaker, 2 minutes and I'm on my way. This 2.2 lb canister is much more cost effective than the smaller cans available locally, and MUCH more than the single use packs. Now I feel much more clear headed and energetic in the morning than I did on the caffeine and sugar diet.<br /><br />The ingredient list is outrageous! They have packed every nutrient in the world into this stuff by the looks of it, from spirulina to schisandra root whatever that is. Seriously though, I was looking for a natural healthy protein shake and this delivers the goods without any refined sugar or carcinogenic sugar substitute, nor any nasty artificial chemicals at all. The flavor works for me, it's just sort of rich and malty when mixed with my milk substitutes. I can down an 8 oz (2 scoop) batch quickly, although the instructions suggest making 2 batches using 1 scoop each and taking it twice a day. One thing of note- only mix up what you intend to consume right away. The mix continues to thicken while sitting, after a few hours it becomes a gelatinous goop that you definitely don't want to drink.
