Naked Nutrition Naked Shake Vanilla Plant Based Protein Powder With MCT Oil Vegan Gluten Free Soy Free 30 Servings 960 Grams

I really appreciate the clean ingredient list in this protein powder. No weird fillers, no artificial sweeteners, and the protein sources are solid. It blends smoothly and works great in a shaker bottle, which is important when I'm in a rush.The chocolate peanut butter flavor is mild and pleasant, but I do wish it had a bit more richness. It's not overly sweet, which I like, but the flavor leans more subtle and earthy than dessert-like. I've found it tastes best with almond milk or blended into smoothies with banana or cocoa powder for extra depth.Overall, this is a great choice if you want a clean, plant-based shake that doesn't upset your stomach or spike your blood sugar. I just knocked off one star because I expected a little more flavor intensity from the chocolate and peanut butter combo.

Updated to add that I recently bought the pumpkin spice and this flavor is by far my favorite!! Not overpowering and makes a phenomenal pumpkin smoothie and iced pumpkin coffee!I really like this protein powder. My primary concern is the clean ingredients and amino acid profile but honestly the taste isn't bad. I've had the chocolate, which is my favorite, I use the vanilla for my overnight oats, and the unflavored for smoothies. It's pea protein, so it can be a bit gritty so I find using a ninja blender and some ice and water the best way to go with this. Post workout, I use two scoops of chocolate, 1/2 frozen banana, 2 TBS of PB powder, 1 TBS chia seeds, ice and water and it's really good! I do find the vanilla flavor a little overpowering in general, so if you're going to have vanilla, expect to taste only that even when mixed with other things like yogurt or berries in smoothies.If you are transitioning off of pre made shakes like "Atkins" or whatever, give yourself some time to adjust. These will be watery compared to those because you don't have all the artificial junk making it "creamy" and it may not be as smooth textured as you're used to but eventually you won't even notice anymore.

I'm somewhat new to protein shakes so I gave Naked a chance. The Hot Cocoa was the 4th bottle I've purchased. The others are Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pumpkin Spice, and Chocolate Almond.Flavor: The Chocolate Peanut Butter is my favorite one. It's like having a milk shake for breakfast. The other 3 are all good as well but I'll probably stick with my favorite. The Hot Cocoa tastes like normal chocolate. I'm not sure what's different about this one.Mixability: I use a normal cup with a lid and shake shake shake. I'm usually left with little to no clumps. However, if there is a clump, at least it tastes good! I'm never grossed out by it. I have noticed that if I use a spoon rather than shaking, then it will be super clumpy.Content: I'm not vegan, but I don't eat meat and I have a dairy intolerance so I appreciate this being vegan. It never upsets my stomach. The calorie and protein amount suit my needs just fine. Also this uses actual sugar which is excellent! I hate artificial sweeteners and monk fruit tastes weird. But sugar? Perfect. My body already knows how to digest it, so I don't have to worry about introducing a new ingredient.Versatility: I've mostly had this shake as a breakfast replacement. It keeps me full until lunch or pairs well with a piece of fruit for a snack if I'm really hungry that day. I've added chia seeds (soaked overnight), ground flax, and hemp hearts for extra nutrition but Naked Shake is fine on its own without any mix ins. I've seen you can also use the powder in brownies or other baked goods but I have not tried that yet.Overall this brand is great and I keep coming back to it. It's just over a dollar a serving so I believe it's the best value compared to some of the others on the market.
