As someone who typically consumes healthy and vegan products, I found that this powder tastes like a sugar-free blackberry lemonade, which I personally don’t find disgusting. Initially, I was skeptical about its flavor and texture, but to…

Honestly, the taste and texture of this product leave much to be desired. Initially intrigued by its low-sugar, health-focused ingredients like turmeric, magnesium, and holy basil, I was eager to try this alternative to Gatorade powder. Despite the promise of a blackberry lemonade flavor, the reality fell short as the undissolved brown powder resembled pond water and lacked the expected aroma. The presence of pea protein further detracted from the flavor experience, resulting in a somewhat…

I was searching for a vegan post-workout supplement as a more affordable alternative to Vega, which I found to be quite expensive. I decided to try this product for my weightlifting days.
