How does it compare with a whey protein shake?

It is plant-based, organic and includes fiber, probiotics and enzymes, so it works as a full meal rather than a post-workout protein hit. Whey shakes mix smoother and taste sweeter, but they lack the sprouted-food blend.

Is it a true meal replacement?

Yes. One scoop with water or milk supplies 20 g of protein plus fats and fiber, and most buyers say it holds them until the next meal. It is not a weight-loss drug and does not replace whole meals every day.

Does it contain added sugar?

No. The sweetness comes from the flavoring and the shake has 0 g of sugar, which suits low-sugar diets.

Is it gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. It is certified gluten-free, plant-based and Non-GMO Project Verified, and it uses no dairy or soy protein.

How many servings are in a tub?

About 14 servings at one scoop each, so a daily user finishes a tub in roughly two weeks.

What does it taste like?

The vanilla is mild and earthy rather than dessert-sweet. Blending it with milk, banana or berries covers the grassy note that some drinkers dislike.

Our take on the Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal Replacement Shake Vanilla 37.04 oz

Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal is a plant-based powder that replaces a meal with 20 g of organic sprouted protein, probiotics and enzymes, and no added sugar. It is certified organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, and it is gluten-free and vegan. Reviewers like the clean ingredient list and the convenience, but many find the texture gritty and the taste earthy compared with sweeter whey and soy shakes. It suits people who want a whole-food, plant-based meal on the go and will trade flavor polish for that.
