I wanted to share something a little different with you today. I was sent 3 servings of Super Plant Protein by Summit Nutritions to try in exchange for my honest opinion. I was super excited about giving this a try because we use protein supplements here on a daily basis and I am always on the lookout for better ones!!
I have mixed feelings about this one. I really needed more than 3 trys to find the right mix, but hey I have an idea of what this tastes like. As far as long term results I cannot even begin to share that with you because we all know drinking a supplement or taking a supplement 3 times is not enough to give it an honest opinion on how it effects your health. So my review today will strictly be on the flavor and what they say the ingredients are.
The ingredients actually to me were pretty good (for what little knowledge I obtain in regards to this type of thing).
The list was really good though.
Taste -- It is sweetened with Stevia. I am one that uses stevia on a regular basis so this was not an issue for me. However, the recommended way of mixing this with 8 oz of water was in my opinion to strong of a stevia flavor and too thick of a consistancy.
I mixed it different all 3 times. I mixed with 8 oz of milk the first time and it was much too strong so I increased it to 16 oz. It was ok. The stevia flavor was still a bit overpowering, but not horrible. However, like I previously mentioned I do not mind the taste of stevia. Anyone that does not like the stevia flavor in my opinion would not like this formula.
The second time I mixed it with water. Again -- was not real crazy about the flavor and still had an overpowering stevia flavor. I was thinking about all of the GOOD ingredients though so still would use this.
On my third time I mixed it up I mixed it with Dannon yogurt and threw in a red pack and a green pack from Trace Minerals. It might have worked in a flavor besides chocolate, but I don't think the red pack worked too well with the chocolate.
Again -- a few more servings would have helped to determine how to exactly mix the shake to my liking.
I was a bit confused why it stated 21 grams of protein on the front of the package and only 18 grams of protein in the ingredients list. I did email the company about this, but I have not received a response as of this time
Here is some information I got from the company
- ORGANIC PLANT BASED PROTEIN- Summit Nutritions Super Plant Protein consists of mainly organic wide spectrum of plant based protein which includes Organic Brown Rice, Organic Sprouted Quinoa, Pea Protein and Hemp protein. We have selected the Mix of Different plant based proteins to make a complete Amino Acid Profile without compromising the taste of product which was a challenging part in the Plant Protein Formula.

To sum this up I would recommend this. I would like to find a different more effective way to mix it for a better flavor. However, if all of the nutrient information is accurate I would drink this on a daily basis. Like I mentioned previously I was sent 3 servings of this product to try in exchange for my review.
