MRM - Veggie Protein Powder, Protein Source for Vegans, Gluten-Free & Preservative-Free, Non-GMO Verified - Chocolate - 2.5 lbs

I'm not a vegetarian as I, on rare occasions, will eat turkey, chicken, or fish. But it's really hard for me to get enough protein. Due to a major digestive disorder I can't eat nuts or nut butter, seeds or seed butter, can only eat a bit of grains and some other non meat sources of protein. I have tried a number of protein powders to try and get enough protein as my albumin level is sometimes a bit low when I have labs done. I try to avoid soy as it affects hormones and, when I do eat soy it has to be organic. So soy protein is out. I dislike the taste of hemp protein powder and the protein content just isn't very high. Whey protein makes me nauseous. So I tried a sample of the MRM veggie protein powder a couple years ago and LOVED it!! The taste is amazing and the ingredients are fantastic!! I have also tried to chocolate and it is super tasty as well but I prefer vanilla. Although it has hemp, chia, and flax powders, they do not negatively affect my digestion as they normally would. In addition to the 22 grams of protein per serving (I usually just have a half serving at a time due to the high protein content) you get Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9 (from hemp, chia, and flax powders), high ORAC proprietary fruit/vegetable blend (grape skin extract, blueberry extract, raspberry powder, , cranberry powder, prune powder, cherry powder, bilberry extract, strawberry powder, broccoli cruciferous extract, spinach powder, tomato powder, carrot powder, and onion powder). The ingredients are: Pro-Veggie Blend pea protein isolate, organic brown rice protein concentrate, organic hemp protein powder, hemp protein powder, flax seed powder, chia seed powder and Digest-All™️ VP (a vegan enzyme blend), natural vanilla flavor, xylitol, stevia, high ORAC proprietary fruit/vegetable blend, and salt. It does NOT contain: egg, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish, wheat, gluten, or yeast. It is manufactured in a facility that produces other products and may contain trace amounts of milk or soy. There is no addes sugar and no artificial sweeteners. It has xylitol and stevia which are both natural sweeteners. The texture once mixed with water or juice is not at all gritty. It mixes in very nicely and is very smooth! This protein powder is Non GMO Project verified so no worried about any of the ingredients containing GMOs. It is loaded with amino acids, which I'm posting a picture of rather than typing it all out. I love that some of the ingredients are organic and that this product is non GMO verified but it appears that it is not made in the USA since it doesn't say anywhere on the package where it is manufactured. Because it is non GMO verified, I feel pretty good about using it though as I have been consistently for the last couple years. By far the best protein powder I've tried and I plan to continue using it indefinitely.

I am a recreational marathon runner and have been a pescetarian now for about 8 months. I was struggling to find ways to get protein into my diet and because of that, found myself snacking more on salty crunchy things. I am also wanting to find a way to get in more protein and less calories in hopes of being a little leaner for running. I am on day 4 of drinking MRM daily and here are my thoughts so far: 1) The first time I drank it I made it into a smoothie with a very ripe banana and was like "WOAH this is wayyy to sweet" so the first time drinking it because I doctored it up so much I wasn't a fan 2) Day 2 I tried it just with water and liked it a lot better, however it still seemed very thick 3) Day 3 I did a little less than a full scoop with ice and water and really enjoyed that 3) Day 4 I tried it with a half scoop, cocoa powder, water & ice and it seriously tastes like a healthy malt. ITS SO GOOD!!! I already feel better, fuller, and have lost 2 pounds--though I am not sure if that is just because of where I am at in my training, or that I am snacking less:) I also watched a review of vegan protein powders on Youtube and this one came in top 4 and was highly recommended as a healthy and not as expensive protein powder. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Based on the positive reviews, I thought I'd try out this brand of vegan protein powder, even though I'd never heard of it before. The vanilla flavor is really good, with just a slight stevia aftertaste to it. It's honestly one of the better vegan protein powders I've tried! It also dissolves and mixes up really well, without leaving clumps. I've used it now in my oatmeal and in a smoothie, and both times I was left with a smooth mouthfeel. Another reviewer mentioned that it tasted chalky, but I don't think it does at all. This also has a nice nutrition profile, and a good ORAC value. I will definitely be re-ordering this! UPDATE ON 7-26-13: This is not only the best vegan protein powder I've tried, but the best protein powder PERIOD I'd had. I'm not usually a vanilla person, but this mixes up so well in so many kinds of smoothies and recipes that I just love it! I've even used it in baking in place of flour, and it's worked well. I'm already on my fifth container of this -- and I just wish that it came in larger tubs! (If MRM reads this, please consider making larger tubs! Pretty please!:-) )
