EVOLUTION18 Relaxing Chocolate, Collagen Peptides Powder with Probiotics & MCTs for Healthy Skin, Nails & Hair Growth, 6.2 Oz (15 Servings)

I really like the stuff because it mixes well and makes a great treat! It arrived quickly and well packaged. It has delicious flavor and dissolves easily in warm water! It helps me relax when I can’t sleep at night!

The only problem I have is this is for only 15 servings and at 26 a container, it runs about 1.73 a serving, which isn't horrible, but it does add up over time if I was to buy 2 of these a month. It's hard living on a fixed income, you have pick and choose what you will buy based on their benefits.Now the chocolate is relaxing, it helps me fall to sleep faster. The collagen does help my hair and nails, though it seems to be taking a while to see that. I have 2 days left on this container.

I love flavored collagen powders. I usually pair it with an unflavored protein powder to give me more of a sense of fullness, but a few times, I've also paired it with a chocolate flavored protein powder. This powder actually stands well on its own and doesn't need the extra flavor from another protein powder. The MCTs in this powder add a little fat to help with satiety and to help my skin look better and plumper, as well as the Biotin. Another ingredient included is magnesium, which brings a sense of calmness to me on a stressful day, and most days have their share of stress, so it's needed all the time. It's called "Relaxing" because that's what magnesium can do - but I drink this collagen at the beginning of the day and it's perfect - there's no falling asleep - just a sense of low stress.I can tell when I am using a quality Collagen powder within a week because my nails start growing longer and stronger. I have also learned how important it is to look at the ingredients to see if they are all recognizable and the list is short - both are true in this brand. I got several flavors of this collagen because it tastes great, and I love how it makes me feel and look. I highly recommend it!

This Evolution_18 Relaxing Chocolate did the opposite. I got this to help me relax so I could get some sleep. I mixed it as directed in hot water. The taste was great but it was drinkable. When I went to bed I was less relaxed than if I hadn't taken it. I was up until 3 am with heartburn due to this drink.The chocolate smells like it has coffee in it. The ingredients do not have coffee but after drinking it I got the same results as I do when drinking chocolate with coffee. The container contains a scoop on the inside. There are directions on the container.I will not be recommending this Evolution_18 Relaxing Chocolate to family and friends.

I'm into supplements and got my wife hooked on collagen for her skin, hair, and nails as well as for workout recovery. This is one we actually fight over - it is decadently delicious and has a bunch of "good for yous" in it. It makes a rich, creamy cocoa with just the right amount of sweetness and doesn't have the usual collagen aftertaste. To be fair, each serving only has 2.5 grams of it. But combined with the vitamins, minerals, healthy fat, HA, Amia, and probiotics -- this is a very healthy powder that feels good to consume. My wife detects a slight stevia aftertaste at the back of the throat but she is sensitive to such things.I like mixing it with plain Greek yogurt and topping it with nuts and hemp seeds for a tasty dessert. It is a great addition to smoothies as well. I like all of the Evolution_18 products I've tried thus far, and will likely get Relaxing Chocolate again.Responsibly sourced globally, made in the USA.~ Kort

One scoop made a tasty cold beverage. It was fairly easy to mix in a glass using a small whisk. Rich flavor. Nice texture, not too thin. But ... it gave me mild heartburn. That's me, not the product's fault.

To get good dissolving and a nice texture I use a shaker bottle with the prescribed amount of water. Everything dissolves nicely when used with a shaker bottle.Relaxing chocolate flavor review: I really like that this has a rich chocolate flavor. It is kind of thick so it tastes like you are drinking a dessert.Relaxing Orange Creamsicle flavor review: this really does taste like an orange Creamsicle. Reminds me of the orange Julius drink we used to get at the mall when I was a teenager. Not too sweet.Relaxing chocolate mint tastes like a Girl Scout cookie thin mint. This is delicious.All three flavors: I suggest drinking it within 10 minutes. I let it sit for a half an hour and it kind of was gelling up getting more like a loose pudding. I cannot taste any of the collagen, this just tastes like a good chocolate drink as a treat. Rating 5 stars = Love It.

I really wanted to like this as if it were a mock hot chocolate. It almost works that way, but it just doesn't pull it off. When you first take a sip it does taste a lot like hot chocolate, but the second half of the sip tastes fake or like vitamins. Still, I have tried to salvage this by mixing it into smoothies or turning it into an iced coffee drink. The vitamin-y taste still came through in the smoothie, and for some reason it made the coffee beverage very... thick? All I added to the water and chocolate was ice, a little cream, and a teaspoon and a half of coffee concentrate, and it turned oddly thick, as if the consistency was heavy cream. The flavor wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't great either, and I wasn't a fan of the thickness.Overall, it tried, but it didn't quite pull it off. I'm not a fan.
