Didn't like the earthy flavour

I’m always needing more protein, since I eat so little meat, so every time I see a product like this I get excited. More protein and extra benefits of greens, with a yummy chocolate taste; sign me up! Sadly, it doesn’t deliver on anything other than the nutritional benefits. That’s not to say this product is bad, but just that if you want a product that tastes like chocolate creme, you’ll be unsatisfied here.

The prominent taste here is dirt, with a heavy helping of sweet taste. It’s our old friend Stevia. I’m not a fan of Stevia’s bitter taste, but my far bigger problem with it is that brands overuse it. Stevia is far stronger than sugar, but they heap it in there in an attempt to hide the earthy or green taste and as a result it ends up tasting far too sweet and almost fake (though Stevia is natural). There is a cacao, bitter chocolate taste here, but if you’re looking for a protein powder that doesn’t taste bad, I can’t recommend this one.

It has a lot of benefits sure and it might be a good fit for the kind of person who drinks green smoothies. If you don’t mind an earthy and strong stevia flavour and are willing to drink anything for the benefits, this might be right for you. However, I really require a flavour that I can stand and just didn’t like this one. I will say, to its credit, that when shaken in a protein powder cup, it doesn’t get lumpy, but I just didn’t like the taste.
