Apres Plant-Based Protein Shake Mint Chocolate with MCTs & Electrolytes, Vegan, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free Drink 11 Fl Oz, 12 Bottles

First impressions were that these were a bit bland. However I got used to the low sugar content and now I like them much better. The texture is smooth and somewhat creamy, but on the thin side - not thin like an Iconic drink, but somewhere between Iconic and Evolve or Orgain.The coffee is my least favorite because it is slightly bitter. The vanilla is also underwhelming as far as vanilla goes, it tastes more like vanilla hemp milk. Otherwise, they could do better with the vanilla and the coffee, but the chocolate and chocolate mint flavors are quite good..This is good nutrition and would be ideal for a Paleo or vegan diet, although probably not a Keto diet. It is difficult to find a vegan protein drink that has mostly organic ingredients (these do) and that doesn't contain poor-quality filler ingredients like PUFA oils, carrageenan, or guar gum, or sweeteners like sucralose or stevia. These contain a little coconut sugar, some monk fruit extract, and a bit of gellan gum.These also make a great smoothie base. I have thrown a few of these in a blender with some added fruit, hemp milk and protein powder, and the resulting beverage was thicker and tastier, although also higher in sugar. However, as a "grab and go" snack or even part of a meal replacement, these are pretty good and are fairly satisfying.

I have tried a few of these protein drink brands and so far this one tastes the best for what it is...not too sweet...the monkfruit doesn't taste too wierd...and so far the vanilla and mocha chocolate were good...I like that some have caffeine if you want an extra boost. I give this brand a thumbs up.

The media could not be loaded.  After reading the other reviews, I was a bit nervous to try these protein drinks! Especially with the original price. But I had to come on here to review because these are AMAZING! EVERY FLAVOR! Not chalky, powdery, overpowering "protein shake" flavor, and no nasty aftertaste AT ALL! I have had shakes in the past that have bloated or upset my stomach, nope, not this set! Did not negatively affect my stomach at all, which is saying A LOT. I WILL be buying again, I WILL be recommending to friends and family! I just wish I could buy the set for $20 all the time. *ALWAYS ENJOYED COLD.

I have two kids under two and work for a startup 24/7. Often times I am in back to back meetings all day with zero time to make lunch let along work out. These save me. I grab one quickly and know that I am getting the boost, nutrients and protein that I need in one quick drink. I used to work out and loved using them as a post work out boost, but I no longer have the time. They taste so good that I wanted to keep them around... little did I know they would save my life! If I have 2 minutes between meetings I grab one quickly and get back to work. I feel great after and am so happy to be putting something healthy/quick in my body. If I didn't keep my fridge stocked with these, my lunches would likely be a handful of pretzels or goldfish. In no means do I intend it to be a meal replacement, but when I know I won't have time for a full meal, it's the perfect thing to get me through the day! (Side note, my 2-year-old son loves them... If we are headed somewhere and I want to bring a "snack" that is not chips or crackers or something perishable, I throw one of these in the bag and they are perfect for him)

I increased my vanilla bean shakes to 3 a day, with nut butter, eggs or fish. I immediately noticed an increase in my energy. One of my surgery wounds went from problematic to needing minimal care. Many foods and the amounts I consumed are limited. Your product has been perfect. I had no problems with the ingredients in this fiorm. Thank you for making such a healthy, great tasting protein alternative.

Other people complain a ton about how it taste terrible, but you need to sacrifice at least some taste if you want the healthy stuff like this. The ingredients look good to me as they are significantly healthier than any protein drink I've seen. Personally as for the taste, it's not a premium chocolate shake, but it's alright. To me, it just tastes like chocolate water, and I can hardly taste the mint (mint cocao flavor). If you think this drink tastes terrible, you likely either have a sweetooth or are too used to eating unhealthy. I'm a super taster with a moderately healthy diet, and I like the taste, though they could add more mint. $40 for a 12 pack is a little high for me though, so I just wait until a lightning deal to purchase

Overall, it's the best one I've had, and I get 2 cases/month delivered on subscription. High protein and other nutrients, pretty natural. It's a thin/watery drink, not a thick "shake" so don't expect that. The price could be a smidge lower for my liking, but it IS a meal replacement -or at least "tide you over". The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that I wish it had more mint, more chocolate flavor. I know that's hard to do when balancing ingredients.

I ordered the sea salt chocolate on 12-28-2020 it was a 12 pack for $25.59....the flavor is great! Yes, there is a distinct aftertaste. BUT it is not a metallic taste as others have said.....these people clearly haven't ever tasted real coconut water.....that is what the aftertaste is....that flavor is the 'real deal' taste of actual coconut water.With the great taste, smooth/non-chalky feel, clean and allergy-free ingredients, and lack of GI upset after drinking(some protein drinks are hard on my stomach)...I thought I had found my forever protein drink....HOWEVER, I went to re-order 13 days after my initial purchase and it was now selling for $39.99......that is a huge jump and a deal breaker for me. If the price drops back down to $25, then game on.....but I will keep looking until then.Update 2/4/22Pricing is still all over the place $25 one day...$40 the next
