American Natural Superfood Vegan Protein Powder (1.1lbs)

This product is extremely doable. I love it! Here's why: I make a wonderful tasting, silky chocolate milk (5 oz unsweetened almond milk, 4 oz water, tsp Hershey's cocoa) If I want it sweeter, I add Hershey's simple 5 chocolate syrup. If I want it thicker, I had coconut cream (Trader Joe's). If I feel like having a pudding, I mix the scoop with coconut cream and add tsp honey) I have not tried to yet, but I plan to mix it with my beef gelatin for a lovely fruit gelatin. This product is very versatile. It can be added to anything you like and even mixed with a banana or fruit for a smoothie. I do not shake it; I blend it in a Nutri-Bullit for that silky texture,. AND YES, you can drink it just by simply adding water only. There is a subtle taste that let's you know you are eating some powerful nutrients. But unlike the other slimy, green gross looking and tasting powders I have purchased, this one is so very doable. I cannot ingest the other powders I have tried because I either start itching or vomit it up. The BEST part for me is — there is NO SOY, NO WHEAT, (and I'm not talking green baby wheat grass which IS doable since the gluten is not present), NO GMO!!!!, NO SHELLFISH, NO PEANUTS and a huge BONUS — it has probiotics and digestive enzymes. KUDOS to the DOC who dreamed this up. I am fighting Lyme Disease and this helps a great deal. Diet is crucial with Lyme so I stay more to the KETO way of eating. I also noticed weight lose after 3 days of ingesting 4 packets (I ordered the free one and 3 more before buying the big bag). One more thing, they do stand behind their money back guarantee. I know this because I had mistakenly ordered the large bag at the same time as the sample packs and they reversed it with no problems. ONE LAST THING — I have a request to the creator of this product — Please lower the price to $39 + tx per 2LB bag so that it is affordable on an on-going basis. Do that and I will give this a PERFECT 200% score.

I first learned about this product through an affiliate email. I was intrigued by the sales pitch, but skeptical. So I turned to my friend Google. I was pleased to find it here (I feel that Amazon is more trustworthy than buying direct from a seller I don't know.), and was impressed by the positive reviews, so I pulled the trigger on a 1-lb bag. When it arrived, I tried it plain first, mixed with only water, so I'd know exactly what it tasted like. I was pleasantly surprised! I hate all things vanilla, but the flavor was pleasant. Next, I started to experiment. Almond milk instead of water, add half a banana, some frozen mixed fruit, and chocolate powder, all in different combinations. My winning combo is 1 1/2 cup almond or cashew milk, half a banana (skin included for extra nutrients), a teaspoon of gelatinized maca powder, one heaping scoop of American Natural Superfood, and a teaspoon of organic chocolate powder. Some days, I leave the chocolate powder out for variety. I take this for breakfast around 8 or 9 every day, and I'm not hungry till lunch. I just received my second bag of ANS, and this time, I ordered the 2-lb bag. I will say that it has some small bitlets (chia seed skin?) when using a shaker cup to mix, so I prefer to use my Vitamix to get a smooth shake. It also makes short work of the banana skin. I think that the price is good, considering the ingredient list. I used to use Shakeology, which is way more expensive. It's an awesome shake, too (better, even), but knowing that a good portion of the price is going to a salesperson and their upline destroys the value, in my opinion. I purchased all product with my hard-earned money, and have not received any incentives or discounts for this review.

I enjoy this and like that it doesn’t have artificial flavors and ingredients so is relatively clean. I usually blend with milk, and some added greens like kale or spinach as well as a handful of frozen berries and have as a quick and very tasty lunch smoothie. I haven’t found that it blends that well without using the blender but haven’t tried doing that for a while - this batch does seem a silkier texture to the powder so it may be better now. I find the scoop difficult to use as I always seem to get the powder in the groove on the handle and from there onto the counter and it is not easy to measure the two scoops precisely but this is a minor gripe. Tip - the package closure (plastic like a Jiffy bag) needs to be cleaned of the powder sitting underneath it and then closes fine - and it does need to be sealed to maintain freshness to the bottom of the bag unless you are eating it up very quickly as it gets a slightly musty taste to it once it has ‘oxidized’ or whatever happens to it. However used every day it definitely stays fresh for long enough. I have tried several protein powders and keep coming back to this one for best taste and lack of that gritty/powdery texture. I recommend that you try it - I believe that they offer trial sachets but not seen that for a while as I just repurchase when I am doing my spring detox/slim down. It is also not too sweet - many out there try and add artificial sweetness which then makes it way TOO sweet and sickly. This has a nice mild yet really flavorsome base that you can add fruit etc to if you want. Delivery was fast and well packaged.

I love the feel that drinking this product gives me. I neither feel too full or unsatisfied. I have adequate energy through the morning and when I eat a healthy lunch through the day. I don’t feel agitated like I do when I’ve used caffeine based products and I don’t get headaches from stressing my body. I mix 14 ounces of almond milk with two scoops of mix and it is not to thick or milky. I don’t love the taste of this product but it’s not a disgusting flavor. The texture can be a bit much if it’s mixed too thick, so you just have to try it out a few ways. I’ve found it is more appetizing when I add a couple of ice cubes to my shaker cup so it is good and cold when I drink it. All in all, I believe this is a good product and true to its claim of being good for you, my body hasn’t said otherwise!

On my 6th month of using this....I can't see not having it. I'm addicted! People should stop calling it a protien drink....it's not that. Yes, it has protien in it, but it's much much more. I feel sooo much better now. I was not getting enough good foods in my diet. This covers it ALL.... the veggies...the fruits...the seeds... wheat grasses... spriullina... etc...etc. I add Beet Root to it. Here's another thing I do with my bag each month. I mix the entire bag with two containers of Slim Fast, french vanilla. Makes for a thicker shake, and tastier and more filling. I have two Large shakes a day. The fat is melting off me.... I've compared this product to others that are similar and there is Not One that comes close. Also...the ingredients are sourced fresh, and from certified Non-GMO FARMERS. that's huge in my book. It's very hard to find a good product these days. This one is Legit.

I originally wrote a good review of this product. Unfortunately I now have to expose this product for the sham that it is. The Good: The ingredients are good. It tastes good. I use it as a breakfast replacement. It comfortably satisfies me through to lunch. The Bad: They advertise on their label that you get 28 servings of 2 scoops per package or 28 days of 1 time per day. I am on day 11 and I have 2 servings left. This means that, at most, you are getting 14 servings per container. The last time I ordered this (and wrote a good review for it) I used it several times a day sometimes and had a lot going on in my life so I didn't keep track of how many servings I got. I suspected it was less than 28 but I couldn't say for sure so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. This time, I carefully measured each scoop (I filled the scoop and scraped it off level on the top) and I will get 13 servings out of their "28 serving" package. No matter how good a product this may be, if you are cheating people out of HALF of what you say you give them, in my mind, this is a clear scam. Unless they change and actually give people 28 servings per package, I will never buy this product again and suggest that you do not either. If you are paying $35.00 for 13 servings, you can buy plenty of other products that are as good and much less expensive 11/26/17 - A follow up. Since my last post I found out there are actually 2 sizes of this product. On one of the web sites that sells this they show the label description for the 1.1 lb. package that I was sold as showing 28 servings of 1 scoop and the 2.1 lb package label as showing 28 servings of 2 scoops. My 1.1 lb package label shows 28 servings of 2 scoops. This may have been accidental or intentional on the manufacturers part. Either way, I will never buy this product again and still suggest that you do not either. If it was intentional, I don't deal with dishonest companies. If it was accidental, that makes this a pretty expensive product compared to others like Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein which I used to use. It is $35.00 for 20 servings. American Natural Superfood is $33.00 for 14 servings. A final word. Just my opinion but I have used both products I mentioned and I find that the Garden of Life one makes me feel better and tastes better. I stopped using it and went looking for something else because their price went up a bit. Now I know they are still the better deal.

I got this last year and liked it then, stopped for some reason and began again. I peel a whole naval orange I keep in the refrigerator so it's cold, put it in my Nutri Bullet, then put in the 2 scoops of powder, fill to the max line with purified water, add a little ice, and it is FANTASTIC!!! I was encouraged by the review that said they have had it every morning for the past 2 months and lost 28 pounds. I actually miss this now that I am using the orange (frozen strawberries that are organic aren't bad either when I ran out of the oranges I tried that) when I go out to eat breakfast I miss the energy I feel after this drink! It is the best one around-ALL the others either have soy or something else that isn't good for you. I was using Cambridge for years, when it had no soy, then resumed when they had soy in it and it really messed up my thyroid! SOY is BAD for you!!! And your thyroid hates it! This is a healthy great way to give your body what it needs. It isn't sickening sweet either like so many are. I LOVE that fact!

I am a long time user of Athletic Greens, and I typically combine it with a good quality protein and a few other things depending on my goals/needs (recovery, inflammation, energy, etc)...that gets pretty expensive. I ordered this product as it combined a lot of what I was making at home, and wow does it taste great! I've just started using it, and I did the bare bones mix it with water/ice and blend it approach to see what it tasted and felt like. Again, it's really good. It's smooth and digests nicely. No bloat or sitting in your stomach forever. I can't attest to it's overall health benefits or effects yet, but I'll be sure to update after several weeks. My only issue with it is that it does contain a very small amount of tomato extract (a nightshade) that might not be appropriate for people with inflammatory issues such as arthritis. It's a very small amount, and hopefully its insignificant. I'll know as I'm sensitive to nightshades.
