Product Review: Applied Nutrition Plant Protein Powder – Critical Plant Vegan Protein Shake

Applied Nutrition Plant Protein Powder – Critical Plant Vegan Protein Shake with SOYA, Pea, Brown Rice Proteins & Essential Amino Acids - Dairy-Free Gym Supplement (1.8kg - 60 Servings) (Chocolate)

⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars

I needed to get more protein into my diet and I'm a chocoholic vegetarian with food allergies.

My previous protein powder was no longer available for some reason, so I figured that I'd try this instead as it seemed to tick all of the appropriate boxes.

I didn't realise just how big it would be though!

I've got a smoothie machine which I really seriously needed with this... there's no way that manually shaking it would disolve all of the powder!

I followed the instructions to the letter and turned my smoothie machine on for 10 seconds and took a sip... very very watery and still some grains of powder left.

The next day I put slightly more powder in and turned the machine on for 15 seconds but got the same result and only barely got a hint of the chocolate flavour.

The third day I tried less water and even more powder and turned the smoothie machine on for 20 seconds - the grains had finaly all disolved and I was starting to get slightly more flavour through. 

Day 4 and even more powder went in and the smoothie machine was on for 25 seconds - bingo!  The perfect mix for me was approx 50g of powder and 250ml of water.

I won't be getting it again and will be using it rarely, but it's not worth the money I spent on it by a long way.
