NaturesPlus SPIRU-TEIN Simply Natural, Original Vanilla - 0.81 lb - Unsweetened Plant-Based Protein Shake - Non-GMO, Vegetarian, Gluten Free - 16 Total Servings

Great taste, nutrition and I love that I can add my own sweetener because I can't use stevia which seems to be in everything.

Quality of product is always consistent.

I have always loved the Spiru-Tein products from Nature's Plus, and have used them regularly for many years, usually as an ingredient in various high-protein recipes (pancakes, energy balls, oatmeal, etc.). I finally gave their Simply Natural versions a try. I was reluctant only because I happen to love the wide range of flavors in their regular line, and don't tend to choose the more basic options like vanilla or chocolate. I will admit, I still love those other flavors and will continue purchasing regular Spiru-Tein for this reason. However, I'm finding the four flavor options for Spiru-Tein Simply Natural - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and banana - to be very tasty and versatile as well! I do find it necessary to add some form of sweetener, but otherwise I'm using these protein powders exactly the same as their regular Spiru-Tein. I've now repeat-bought them many times and will continue to do so.

Long ago, I worked in a nutrition shop where I first became acquainted with Spirutein powders - they're all delicious - the Nature's Plus company produces quality products and third-party tests for accuracy. I was reluctant about trying the unsweetened powders but I'm doing low-carb for weight-loss and also attempting to cut out inflammatory foods from my diet due to arthritis / chronic pain. The vanilla unsweetened powder has a very light flavor, and true to the lable, it is not sweet! I added my powder to unsweetened coconut milk made by the So Delicious brand, which only adds one gram of carbs and only 45 calories (zero fiber). I also added about ten teaspoons of stevia and a half cup water. This seems to be the magic combination of making my shake drinkable, though if you're sensitive to textures, you may not care for my recipe... its kinda like drinking watery pudding, or thick gel-like porridge. I drink mouthfuls over the course of an hour, and usually with my daily supplements, so for me, it works. I'll stick with my odd-texture shakes because its a clean source of protein and contains quality ingredients. Additionally, the vanilla is a neutral base so if I want to change things up a bit, Ican add six to seven drops of STIR Stevia drops, that way I can enjoy shakes that taste like orange-cream, mixed berry, or even something more tropical. These powders are expensive, but worth it because I'm not drinking all the artificial sweeteners that are in most protein shakes.

For over 25 years but had to stop due to overload of iodine due to the daily use of spirulina..tried to find one without thru Nature's Plus but nothing avaiable.

I have kept Spiru-tein on hand and used it as a quick meal and energy drink for almost 30 years. I have in the past, liked the taste and consistency; it filled me for about four hours and gave me energy. I have read the comments posted on your site about the change in formula and criticisms about the change. I decided to try the natural chocolate without any sweetener since I don't like sweet products anyway. I have used this product and found it very different from the Spiru-Tein I have used in the past. When a scoop is mixed with 8 ounces of milk, the mixture is quite thick , almost like pudding. I then reduced the powder next time to half a scoop and the mixture was still thicker than the original Spiru-Teen. I also tried mixing a scoop with 8 ounces of milk, half a banana and ice in a blender, my usual choice. There was a strong vanilla smell but it did not taste of chocolate. The texture was different and taste inferior. Two sips and I was full from an air bubble. Because of the discomfort from air or gas after drinking this new version of Spiru-Teen, I won't use it again unless the company goes back to the original formula. An expensive waste of money.

My wife loves to make a drink with this mix.

Did not meet our expectations especially the taste.
