REVIEW TIME!!!! :)
This time it's Pro*Shake's Matcha Latte shake by 360 Nutrition.
ALERT**** Buyer's beware...or buyer's remorse if you already have it.
At first glance you see a plain brown package with a green label resembling in one's mind "nature". The label reads Proteins, Superfruits, Greens, Fibers...Awesome, right?
Turning it over to look at the label you see all kinds of goodies, Pea Protein, Acai, Sprulina flax, quinoa among other great ingredients...Ahhhh...but look deeper. What appears to be something green has Whey protein in it. EEPS VEGANS!!! That green looking package is not so green after all! And what's this? Non-Dairy Creamer? Huh? And "Natural Flavors" (We all know that no one knows what that means).
Mixing instructions are to mix it up with water (or your favorite beverage). So I tried it with water. It mixed up well with just a little residue on the bottom of the glass, but the smell was less than pleasing (Can you say Peeeee..YUUUUU!!!!). The taste was okay. The aftertaste, not so great. I think it was the alfalfa grass that was lingering, and I love alfalfa grass...but not coating my mouth.
Calorie-wise, Pro*Shake is awesome...only 90 calories. However, with only 5 grams protein I'd spend my cash elsewhere.
What sounded like a tasty treat ended up being a buyers beware blog.
All in all, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I give it a 4 because of:
- Taste
- Smell
- Packaging (misleading)
- Ingredients
