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

This protein/meal replacement powder is fantastic. It is NOT sweetened, but that is what I wanted. Every other powder out there is sweetened with sweeteners that I hate the taste of and too strongly. This allows me to make it as sweet as I want.

This formula has a nice blend of a variety of nutrients. The taste is a little less pleasant as some orhers.

I’ve been using this product for a couple years! It’s versatile for any type of smoothie you make. It has vitamins, protein and amino acids. Other products have to much sugar for me so I love that this product has it all. Great price on line compared to my local health food store.

I've been using this shake off and on my adult life! It tastes wonderful and so creamy. Never disappoints.

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 chocolate unsweetened powder has a very light chocolate flavor, and true to the lable, it is not sweet- don't except chocolate milk! 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. If I want a richer chocolate flavor, I can always add a teaspoon of plain chocolate powder. This is expensive, but worth it because I'm not drinking all the artificial sweeteners that are in most protein shakes.

Delivered promptly and was exactly what I asked for. Sometimes it can be hard to find. Thanks Amazon!

I used to be addicted to Spirutein (remember Spirutein Green? For a long time it was the only brand in my local area that was vegan. I got away from it and, when I decided to add protein powders to smoothies again, Spirutein was the first place I went. I got the Natural Vanilla because I don't like a strong flavor to compete with my other ingredients. That was on point - it's unsweetened, so my fruit or green juice didn't make it overly sweet, but had just a hint of vanilla in the background. However, the formula has changed because my smoothie looks 'whipped' after blending. Not an appealing look. I even backed of on the scoop size but it still resembles yeasty bread dough. The taste was not affected, but I can't drink something that looks funky. I've put it at the back of the cabinet and am trying other brands.

One of my favorites to mix with fruit or mix in my morning hot cereal.
