One of my biggest nutritional goals is to have a minimum of 30g of high quality protein at every meal. This protein shake is an effortless way to exceed that goal with 42g of high quality protein in a single serving. Although I was excited for how much protein was in this, I found it to be too sweet for my liking. I prefer my shakes to have a subtle natural sweetness, so this was just too much for me. For reference, I think it tastes about as sweet as caramel. I'm also mindful of all of the ingredients in my food, and feel a little skeptical that one of the ingredients is "natural flavor". "Natural flavor" is a vague food ingredient that can include aspartame, which I prefer to avoid. Although stevia leaf extract is listed as an ingredient, given how sweet this shake is, I don't feel comfortable buying this not knowing for sure if aspartame is also used to sweeten this or not. Overall, this shake is an easy way to achieve my protein goals on the go or as a base to a smoothie, but it's just too sweet for my taste and I'm honestly uncomfortable with the vagueness of the "natural flavor" ingredient.
