Orenda Shape Chocolate - Plant-Based Protein Shake with Pea & Brown Rice Protein, Green Superfoods, and Fiber Ready-to-Serve Nutrition - 21.4oz

I have only had this once, so I cannot give it anything less than 3 stars because I don't know if it does what it claims to do as a protein powder. I thought that it tasted bad. The flavor is supposed to be chocolate, yet somehow it tastes like something else entirely.

I love the chocolatey flavor. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk and the powder completely dissolves. It is a quick and easy breakfast for when I am on the go. I like that the chocolate flavor covers up the other tastes in the powder. I would buy it again.

Nice strong chocolate flavor but like most of these shakes leaves a bit of a filmy aftertaste in your mouth. Nothing unexpected though and it was enjoyable. I can't say I notice any major benefits from taking this but I liked it.

I am not a fan. Perhaps if you are vegan, you will be a fan, but I was not.First, it doesn't smell great and it's an unpleasant color. (see photo) Regardless, I persisted and I blended it up with milk and a few ice cubes.The taste was not good. Not very chocolately. More like slightly pea-flavored sludge. One sip was enough. I offered it to my son, and he wouldn't drink it either.Perhaps if you mixed this in with something besides milk, it would be okay? Like ice cream and chocolate syrup and maybe a banana?But WOW, is this expensive.

You know, for the price they're charging for this you'd think this would be some amazing plant based protein powder. But after one serving I had to throw the product out, this stuff tastes absolutely terrible. It's definitely not chocolate, I'm not sure how to describe it but it was just awful. When mixing it up, it's all clumpy no matter if you use water, almond milk etc and it's just not appetizing.

I am really into this plant-based protein powder. I use it by itself so shakes but also use it as an ingredient in my smoothies. What is best about this protein powder is the rich chocolate taste, that makes it a great addition to anything that needs a good chocolate boost. Overall I am really happy with this powder.

I'm pretty open minded about products, but this was one that I just couldn't get behind. The texture of the powder smelled a bit savory out of the container but I held my judgment. I first blended the powder with a banana and some almond milk. It did blend very easily. The taste was sort of a bitter cocoa powder and then greens, peas and bananas, which wasn't really what I was expecting. The texture was chalky and a bit gritty. The second time I made this, I used regular cow's milk and it was okay, the texture was the same and the taste was almost similar, but a little less tasting of veggies. I tried it once more just in case I did something wrong. I added coconut milk and blended it for a while to make sure the grit got mixed out. That had no effect and it was still just as gritty. I will say that it did give me an energy boost after being at the gym which is nice but I don't think this is something I'd purchase again.

It looks hideous. I did NOT want to try it once I saw the color. However, this beastly looking powder is hiding a beauty of a surprise. I have tried soooo many protein shakes. They all try to convince you they are chocolate milk when, in fact, they are slightly cocoa-scented glasses of grit and sadness. The vegetarian ones are worse. I'm not going to swallow plant based protein and like it just because they try to mask the flavor with too much Stevia. This is hands down, the sneakiest product yet. Dude, this stuff is actually smooth!!! SMOOTH! I know, it totally doesn't look like it, but the texture (I used plain water) was, well, it was missing! This confused my mouth and brain so much that it took me a few swallows before I realized that it wasn't too sweet for me. I'm a black coffee drinker, no sweet syrup nonsense, thank you. I really was pleasantly surprised at the balanced flavor. Now, don't call me out, I am not saying this is chocolate milk. But it isn't bad, not at all. The price is where you may choke a little, it isn't cheap. But buying a product you can stand to drink every day, and WILL drink, is better than buying cheap nastiness that it is a punishment to swallow and ends up gathering dust on the pantry shelf. Check out all the goodness packed in here! I highly recommend that you close your eyes and try it. No bloat, no stomach distress (and I have IBS), just clean power in a really ugly drink.
