  • Changed the recipe; not the same.

    I’m so bummed. I looked high and low for years to find a on-the-go protein shake for meal replacement and supplement without artificial sweeteners. I can’t stand the taste. I found these and it was great for about 5 years.
    They’ve changed their recipe to include monk fruit sweetener in their fruit and veggie blend. First it was the other shakes options (clean protein, kids shakes) and the organic nutrition was spared. However, now it contains monk fruit and I will not be purchasing these products anymore. Back on the hunt.
    The product was perfectly fine. I don’t even see the need for monk fruit sweetener to be added but if everyone’s hopping on the bandwagon I guess they are too. BS.

  • Change of ingredients

    I loved these shakes. I used them as my coffee creamer every morning.

    However, with the change of look, there is also a change of ingredients.

    The description down in the posting doesn't show it changed, but the pictures do. There is monk fruit added.

    This probably won't effect most people, but I am unable to have artificial sweeteners (monk fruit and stevia included), and I didn't realize until after I already received it.

    Sad that I can't have these anymore...

  • Something is wrong!

    They changed the label and suddenly they now have a rancid, sickly sweet alcohol flavor. Reminiscent of prison toilet wine. I say this mainly in hopes that they will pay attention to the 100 some reviews about the rancid flavor. This is 4 cases now. I drink a case every 2 days for the last year.

    • Vanilla bean

      I have been ordering these for over a year and always loved the flavor. Seems like they changed the packaging and the ingredients because last couple of batches taste so different. I thought one batch I received was expired but when my new order tasted the same I realized I had to move on. So disappointed.

    • vanilla changed and now has awful aftertaste

      I had these on regular order and loved them UNTIL this most recent order with the new formula. I now have 2 cases of awful tasting drink. I bought these and paid the premium price because they didn't have any weird artificial sweeteners or stevia or erythritol. I didn't know what monkfruit sweetener tasted like and apparently it's what was added and it's awful.

      This was the ONLY shake that I could drink and now I have no options. Why do companies do this?!?!

    • Finally!

      I’ve been trying to eliminate dairy but needed to find a grab and go protein shake that didn’t taste like literal dirt and this is it! I’m not really a chocolate girl, but I actually enjoyed the taste of this ready to go protein shake and I’ve also ordered vanilla. Super happy to find this one.

    • Great tasting!

      I get these for my elderly father. He enjoys them, which is saying a lot. And he really notices when he hasn't had one. I like the fact that the sugar content is low since he's a diabetic. Plus helps him get the protein he needs for his muscles.

    • Vanilla is NOT the same formula

      I have bought these for years, in large part because they did not have the weird aftertaste of so many other brands. But something is definitely different, and not in a good way. Although stevia is not listed as an ingredient, that’s what the aftertaste is like. I won’t be buying these shakes in the future. .

    • 12 Grams of SUGAR - not Healthy by any means

      I was a loyal subscribe & save customer and have faithfully purchased on average 5 cases a month for the last 6 years. Unfortunately, due to some recent health concerns (hormonal imbalance), I have started watching my sugar intake. I already eat extremely healthy the majority of the time. I initially purchased these because I was under the impression they were "healthy" because they are "organic" and called "nutritional" shakes. However, 12 grams of sugar (11 grams which are ADDED) is incredibly too much sugar and not healthy at all! Crazy to think that I was drinking one of these every single morning as my liquid breakfast. Dumb me. Luckily, I have found an excellent multivitamin that I now rely on for any missed "nutritional" needs that I may have.

      They changed the formula and added monk fruit extract. I’d been drinking these daily for a year, and now have to find a new option because these taste gross with the new formula.

    • Product change- horrible taste!!! Why, why why do companies do this?!?.

      I have been ordering this for my husband for three years now and have an automatic subscription. He just opened one of the new logo and it taste absolutely horrible. Obviously they changed the product. Why companies don’t notify us ahead of time when they do this. It’s very unfortunate because this helped him he has cancer and other health problems and this was a way for him to get extra protein and weight gain. Now I have to cancel my automatic subscription and look for a new product. Why you would mess with something that was already Great tasting and now it tastes absolutely horrible and it’s undrinkable.

    • Quick protein boost!

      Love Orgain protein shakes soooo much! I keep some on hand at all times. I do intermittent fasting, and I struggle sometimes to get to 100 grams of protein a day. Really been working harder to do so. If I get busy and miss a meal or realize I haven’t eaten enough that day, I grab one of these shakes! I have celiac, so I also carry one in my bag, in case I’m somewhere that I just can’t eat. Holds me until I can have a healthy meal. I recently purchased their powdered protein at Costco. Great for making my own smoothies!

    • Very tasty for those who like coffee and chocolate

      What I do not like is the price increase. I used to buy a box of 12 for $21 now it is $31. Every month the price seems to increase. Why is this particular flavor so expensive compared to other flavors?

    • Plant base helps my toddler with her tummy being upset

      I have the most pickiest toddler in the world, not exaggerating at all. She won’t even do gummy vitamins. Not only have I tried a million vitamins but shakes as well. This is the only brand she likes and drinks with no complaints. Perfect texture and thickness as well as flavor. The only plant base that is not chalky. Since she is so picky she doesn’t eat very well, this has help me have a peace of mind knowing that this supplements her with protein, vitamins and minerals. Its ready to use, so I just grab one on the way out. The only bad thing I have to say is, too much sugar and it’s expensive
