Review - TwinLab Vegan Protein Powder



Brand:  TwinLab
Flavor:  Cleanseries Very Vanilla Vegan Protein
Where to get it: here @ VitaCost.com

                 When I have a protein power to review, I always mix the powder with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a couple of ice cubes. There are very, very few that taste good this way, but at least then I can tell from that baseline whether I need to add Splenda, a banana, PB2, or something else. Every once in a while, I get one that cannot be saved. No mango, nor banana, nor peanut butter, nor berry can save this protein powder. It’s SO sweet, like, that artificially sweet KAPOW! sweet. What would happen to it if you actually put something sweet-ish in it? I feel like my face would just cave in upon itself.
               

Tastes like:  Turbo sweet vanilla bad times
Taste rating:  2/10
Qualities:  Vegetarian, Vegan, non-GMO, Gluten free

Review - Coco Libre Protein Coconut Water


Brand:  Coco Libre
Flavor:  Chocolate Protein Coconut Water
Where to get it: 

                Believe it or not, this was my first time trying coconut water in any form. I have friends who love it, and friends who hate it. After drinking this Coco Libre chocolate protein coconut water, I will definitely be trying more coconut water products. It tasted a lot like chocolate milk that had been watered down a bit, and I don’t mean that in a bad way (it sounds kind of gross). It was just less rich than traditional chocolate milk. I also found this to be a very satisfying 130 calories, and it had a minimal impact on my blood sugar since it has no added sugars. I can’t wait to try the vanilla flavor.
