Protein Shake Powder review


This is what their website says-
Protein Energizer™ Creamy Vanilla is a convenient, great-tasting source of protein and energy support. This high-protein, low-fat, low-carbohydrate shake provides 14 g of brown rice protein, targeted superfoods, botanicals, fiber - along with digestion-supporting enzymes - for comprehensive energy and stamina support.* Rainbow Light's formula is 100% natural and free of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and additives. Protein Energizer™ Vanilla is gluten-free, sugar-free and lactose-free and a great choice for people with allergy concerns. It is free of most common allergens, including soy, yeast, milk, eggs, nuts fish and shellfish. It is vegan, vegetarian and free of animal products. Protein Energizer™ Vanilla can be mixed with your favorite beverage for a healthy, delicious, immediate protein boost!

What they don't say is that it is gritty and tastes a little like vanilla playdough (or what playdough smells like).  I tried to mix it with multiple things to see if it works better with different fruits.  I found the taste gets a little more mild with banana, but with strawberries, blueberries, coffee, spinach, pineapple, and coconut the taste is almost unbearable.
The small bag (10.7 oz) cost me $13 at a organic grocery so it is not a cheap alternative.  I was looking for something plant based as most protein powders are whey based. 
I also needed something nut free.
 I will not be purchasing this again and will be on the look out for a different plant based powder mix.  I also need to figure out what to do with 12 more servings!!
