As a health enthusiast and athlete for many years, I've supplemented my diet with various types of protein powders. Due to a number of food intolerance recently, I transitioned from whey and isolate protein powders to plant based powders that were easily digestible, non-irritating to my GI and were sourced from minimally-processed natural ingredients. Even with all the options available on the market these days, there wasn't one product I absolutely loved enough to write a review until now. I purchased Aloha's vanilla protein powder after thoroughly researching the company and its business practices. It was important for me to know what I was buying, where it came from and how it is produced. The criteria I used in determining my purchase included whether the product was free of pesticides, if the manufacturing process retains its nutritional quality, the nutritional content, if it contained artificial flavors, heavy metals, etc. Overall, it was a question of quality over price.After a week of use, I am sincerely happy with my purchase and will be a repeat customer. Not only does the vanilla flavor tastes and mixes well (I blend it with coconut powder/milk and/or cashew milk due to my dairy/gluten intolerance), but it also hits the spot as a meal supplement. If I'm facing a hectic work day, I'll prep a smoothie in the morning for lunch and store in the fridge! I left one overnight and was very impressed to discover how well the purity, consistency, and taste held the next day. Although I workout seriously for health and leanness, I don't use this product as a post-workout fuel so I can't speak for it in that regard.I strongly recommend anyone looking for a protein powder to do research first. The reality is that quality varies among brands and within brands, even among the plant based powders. Still, you'll find a lot of the same ingredients and price among brands, it's just packaged and priced differently. Overall, I found Aloha's protein powder to be a great product and a huge upgrade from the products I've used in the past. Not only is it cost effective, it's versatile, and gets the job done for my personal nutritional needs. If you compare this product against others on a per unit basis, the price is pretty reasonable for what you get.

Being a former college athlete, I wanted to incorporate some extra protein into my daily routine. This was my first protein powder I have tried after doing some research to make sure I wasn't putting anything negative into my body. I feel energized incorporating this protein powder! I was not a fan of just mixing it with water because it tasted similar to play-dough. But I have added a scoop into my oatmeal in the morning or a smoothie and it tastes amazing mixed in. Smoothie recommendation: 2 scoops of the Aloha Vanilla protein powder, 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup of strawberries (frozen or fresh), 1/4 cup of frozen mangoes, 1/4 cup spinach, and 1/4 or 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt.

So reading the reviews I think I expected something completely different. I think the texture threw me off. It's by no means your typical creamy icky sweet vanilla protein shake. But with that being said the taste isn't horrible. I do have to admit the first sip was kind of, let's say, different. It is gritty in texture. But as I drank it the taste definitely grew on me. It's not overwhelmingly sweet like most protein. The hemp adds a nutty tone and helps my brain get over the texture. All in all I think this is going to grow to be my go to protein because I love that fact that there's no artificial junk in it. I'll try and update in a week or so to see if it grows on me even more!***UPDATE*** I actually look forward to my morning drink every day. I wont say shake because its not thick and sweet like most protein shakes, which is very much a good thing! I mix it with about 14 oz of water and 3 ice cubes in my ninja and its great! Its good as is but imagine mixing fruit would be excellent! I love that there is no stevia or artificial sweetener! Never going back to all those chemical ridden protein powders! This one loves me as much as I love it. My digestion issues have almost come to a complete halt!

I love the chocolate flavor of this so I was hopeful about the vanilla. It’s was…alright. Tastes artificial and like fake sweeteners. Just not for me, didn’t get vanilla from it.
