SPIRU-TEIN Simply Natural, Original Vanilla - 0.81 lb - Unsweetened Plant-Based Protein Shake - Non-GMO, Vegetarian, Gluten Free - 16 Total Servings

This protein/meal replacement powder is fantastic. It is NOT sweetened, but that is what I wanted. Every other powder out there is sweetened with sweeteners that I hate the taste of and too strongly. This allows me to make it as sweet as I want.

This formula has a nice blend of a variety of nutrients. The taste is a little less pleasant as some orhers.

I’ve been using this product for a couple years! It’s versatile for any type of smoothie you make. It has vitamins, protein and amino acids. Other products have to much sugar for me so I love that this product has it all. Great price on line compared to my local health food store.

Long ago, I worked in a nutrition shop where I first became acquainted with Spirutein powders - they're all delicious - the Nature's Plus company produces quality products and third-party tests for accuracy. I was reluctant about trying the unsweetened powders but I'm doing low-carb for weight-loss and also attempting to cut out inflammatory foods from my diet due to arthritis / chronic pain. The chocolate unsweetened powder has a very light chocolate flavor, and true to the lable, it is not sweet- don't except chocolate milk! I added my powder to unsweetened coconut milk made by the So Delicious brand, which only adds one gram of carbs and only 45 calories (zero fiber). I also added about ten teaspoons of stevia and a half cup water. This seems to be the magic combination of making my shake drinkable, though if you're sensitive to textures, you may not care for my recipe... its kinda like drinking watery pudding, or thick gel-like porridge. I drink mouthfuls over the course of an hour, and usually with my daily supplements, so for me, it works. I'll stick with my odd-texture shakes because its a clean source of protein and contains quality ingredients. If I want a richer chocolate flavor, I can always add a teaspoon of plain chocolate powder. This is expensive, but worth it because I'm not drinking all the artificial sweeteners that are in most protein shakes.

I've been using this shake off and on my adult life! It tastes wonderful and so creamy. Never disappoints.

Delivered promptly and was exactly what I asked for. Sometimes it can be hard to find. Thanks Amazon!

One of my favorites to mix with fruit or mix in my morning hot cereal.

I have kept Spiru-tein on hand and used it as a quick meal and energy drink for almost 30 years. I have in the past, liked the taste and consistency; it filled me for about four hours and gave me energy. I have read the comments posted on your site about the change in formula and criticisms about the change. I decided to try the natural chocolate without any sweetener since I don't like sweet products anyway. I have used this product and found it very different from the Spiru-Tein I have used in the past. When a scoop is mixed with 8 ounces of milk, the mixture is quite thick , almost like pudding. I then reduced the powder next time to half a scoop and the mixture was still thicker than the original Spiru-Teen. I also tried mixing a scoop with 8 ounces of milk, half a banana and ice in a blender, my usual choice. There was a strong vanilla smell but it did not taste of chocolate. The texture was different and taste inferior. Two sips and I was full from an air bubble. Because of the discomfort from air or gas after drinking this new version of Spiru-Teen, I won't use it again unless the company goes back to the original formula. An expensive waste of money.
