As a Registered Dietitian, I love this product for all of the great products it contains AND doesn't contain. As a regular person with an auto immune disease that is severely limited with food choices being gluten, (and mostly grain), dairy, soy, corn, nightshade free and added sugar are limited to 20 g per day, I was very intrigued by this product. Clearly, with my diet, I read a lot of labels. This label is impressive. I wanted to have something nutritious that was compliant, quick, and easy. I made the first glass with 8 oz of water as instructed. The color of this product is a very interesting shade of green, stemming from the spirulina, a superfood known for its great source of antioxidants and ability to fight inflammation. With water only, this product was not my favorite as it has a strong uh.. amazingly good for you list of ingredients that when mixed together seem to be more of an acquired taste. Not willing to give up, I mixed some of the powder with vanilla almond milk. Ahh! Much better, to me at least. I didn't do a full scoop to 8 oz of almond milk, I just put about 2 oz of milk in a cup and shook in some powder and stirred. I will continue working on a ratio and or another beverage that I find suitable for my palate because this product is too awesome nutritionally to give up on. I don't know what that beverage will be because in my all to exciting life, I only drink water. Give it a try! Let me know if you find a recipe that you like. I also had a problem with the bag sealing back up. I just rolled it up and put a clip on it. I also have to say that the owner of the company is very responsive to emails and is working very hard to create a product that can benefit us all. I emailed asking about recipe development and hope to see some soon!
This protein powder is great! So many fantastic ingredients. No weird mouthfeel like with casein proteins.
The taste is a bit rough by itself but I've been mixing it with other things like blending in berries or chocolate protein and then it works great!
I decided to try this for the extra boost of energy (winter on the east coast), but I feel compelled to review it because it has been GREAT for my complexion. Which I guess makes sense given their list of top ingredients! I put it in my morning mango/almond milk smoothie, and it tastes DELICIOUS. This stuff is totally my new partner in health and beauty. One caveat: the bag is not easy to close once the powder has covered the zip part. I roll it and use a kitchen clip.
I heard about this new protein through a friend so I was excited to try it, and I love it. Taste for me is very important. I've tried many and I’m not a fan of the fake stevia taste so many have. As it says on their site, I find the flavor quite mild. I would describe it as having a slightly “green" flavor. So far I've mixed it with water (it mixes very easily), I’ve also tried it in my usual post workout blueberry and coconut water smoothie. Im also impressed with the nutrient content, I'm getting my protein along with antioxidants and probiotics. It's like 2 products in one. I just ordered a bag for my sister.
So this stuff doesn't taste great on its own. It blends well and it packs a great nutritional punch, but definitely has an earthy taste. But it can be hidden in a smoothie. Which is what I got it for anyways. Love this.

Description
I purchased Plant Vital after searching for a protein powder that doesn't contain fillers, sweeteners, etc. It's hard not to love a product that is 100% good for you. For my palate, I thought the powder taste more savory. I had fun experimenting with recipes. I have a juicer and made my own version of V8 with tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, carrots, garlic, cilantro, lemon and a dash of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces (ok so maybe my recipe is more of a virgin bloody mary). None-the-less I added Plant Vital to my "V8" and it was DELICIOUS!! Best yet, I felt really good after starting my day with it. I'm impressed!
I’ve been an avid user of whey protein for many years but overtime I’ve developed problems digesting whey protein. So I started searching for a clean plant-based complete protein to replace the whey that I use pre and post workout…combination of Perfect Keto, ProMix Whey Isolate, Naked Whey, Levels Provision and Muscle Feast. I came across PlantVital Complete Protein during my search and decided to give it a try, primarily because it was the cleanest of all the plant proteins and best price per serving compared to similar brands/products. I’ll be honest that I had my concerns/reservations that it would have this earthy green taste/smell that most plant based proteins have. However, I was quite amazed this morning. I surprisingly found the taste to be great; the flavor and texture/consistency were comparable to my whey shakes. I didn’t change my normal recipe just the protein and added 8 drops of chocolate liquid stevia in addition to my normal tablespoon of Cacao nibs and was blown away by the taste and texture. PlantVital has perfectly balanced the protein, fruit and vegetable blend into a palatable clean protein. I’ve tried all types of protein powders (whey, egg and casein) and even after trying this only once I’m sold. This is my new go to protein. Thank you PlantVital for developing a great product at a great price.
My recipe
1 Serving of Plant Vital
½ cup of Oatmeal
1 tablespoon of Trader Joe’s mixed nut butter
1 cup of frozen cherries
½ cup of frozen strawberries
1 tablespoon of organic cacao nibs
1 cup of liquid egg whites
½ cup of macadamia nut milk
8 drops of chocolate liquid stevia
I was shopping around for a natural greens product and I can across the Plant Vital... I opted on my first order to just buy it and try it to see if I liked it, after a couple of days I honestly felt the difference! After 3weeks using it I went ahead and subscribed to have it auto shipped monthly. I drink this everyday. Sometimes just water and other times with dark chocolate almond milk, I like it either way. The taste to me is what you would expect from a plant based protein powder, and honestly more mild than some I have tried before. The packaging from what I hear is being “fixed” - but honestly, putting the bag into a freezer bag isn’t hard nor is it anything to complain about. Not everything in life is perfect and if the ziploc on the bag is the worst thing about this product then I don’t see much to complain about. Thank you to this company for making such an amazing product that has become a part of my daily routine.
Great taste and great quality. I’ve been looking for dairy free protein options, and this one is great. I also shared some with my sister - she is breast feeding and had to remove dairy and eggs from her diet - she loved this stuff for smoothies and was able to get the added protein she needed on a restricted diet
I have to admit, I had considered returning it at first because I had initially found it difficult to digest. The owner reached out to me, gave me some suggested recipes, and now, both me and my dog love it! My suggestion is to use a half scoop with anything you mix this with. Because it's nutrient dense, it's plenty. I feel better since incorporating this into my diet. Enjoy!
