I became extremely bloated each time I made a smoothie with this - I don't get bloated from all powders like thus. Not sure if they just add something that doesn't work for my body or not. Also the taste was quite odd. I prefer buying no flavor powders due to not liking the added flavors but nothing I did would make this one taste ok.We LOVE the original JUVO!This Raw Meal version is exceptional quality, but makes your drink thick and is significantly higher in carbohydrates than its Original JUVO brother.GREAT product, just not what we were looking for.I am not a much of a meal replacement protein powder type of person, but now I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I read about Juvo and how it was founded by an oncologist, so I thought what the heck let's give it a try. I like the taste of it, it's not overly sweet and doesn't have an artificial sweet taste or flavor. I got the Juvo Vanilla Chai btw. The taste kind reminds of horchata with milk. I would recommend drinking it with vanilla almond milk because it makes it taste creamier versus with water. I drink it for breakfast and it keeps me full until lunch. Overall, I like it and I'll be buying more and trying the other flavors.I using this product for 3 months without exercise and drink 3 times a week, I lose 6 lbs.Before I buy this product, I asked an agent for how to use this product, the agent guarantee that will be loose 100 lbs after 6 months with plan: 30 mins exercise daily; breakfast and dinner are drinks this product; lunch eat fruits and Veggie... I believes I could be do it, but I feeling it's hard to do it for a 267 lbs fat guy. And student has limit budget. So 21.2 oz I used 3 months. The agent's plan is daily that should be finish 42.4 oz. per month.Now, I lose 6 lbs without exercise and drink 3 times a week that represents if I used the agent's plan, loose 100 lbs is not a day dream.1 thing I want to tell seller, can you back to $35 with free shipping?Right now, $32 with $6.98 shipping, actually the price is increase.I've mainly been using this for weight loss purposes as I normally have very bad eating habits. I was originally substituting a meal with a protein shake but flavor got old so quickly.Juvo has been a delight as it also provides so many other nutrients and not just straight protein. It doesnt completely let me substitute out my usual protein shake but definitely helps since I can drink something else too!Like many other reviews, the taste is not amazing but in my experience, it tastes way better than other meal substitutes I've tried.Currently I'm drinking it with Oat milk. Didn't like it with just water. Not bad with fruit juices surprisingly. Haven't tried yet in a blended fruit smoothie which is my next move, and based on the combinations I've tried so far, I'm sure it'll taste great!Since 1999, Juvo’s has been a staple in my diet. Let me share with you, my favourite recipe - mix 2 scoops of Juvo with almond milk, frozen fruit, 1/3 cup tofu/or yogurt, a teaspoon of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. Within minutes, you’ll feel your body absorbing the nutrients and within the hour, you’ll feel revitalised.Heard about this product and purchased this item for my son who was interested in loosing weight. He wanted to do it naturally. After I told him about the product and he decided to give it a try. He's noticed he lost inches around his mid section. This is a all natural product. No additives or perservitives in it. Nothing to make you jittery. He liked the idea that you could mixed the powder with your favorite fruit juice, almond milk or water. He supplimented his breakfast for a shake for at least a month. He worked out as a added benefit. He chose to eat lighter lunches and dinners and began to notice a difference in how his clothes fit him. His co-workers also notice a change in his weight and appearance. This product does not make you thirsty. But, he chose to drink plenty of water with this product. Now he's asking for more.I"m very satisfied with this product. This product is a good way to have a healthy breakfast for the people who are on the fast-go and wonderful to have between the meals. It comes with a scoop which is great to measure how much I need to use. I usually drink it with soymilk and it taste better than the other breakfast substitutes. I also felt that it as if it cleansed my digestive track and boosts my immune system. I was left with a feeling of full stomach after having the drink. The only down side is that the product is fine grind powder that it is hard to mix with my soymilk. Well, I suppose I just need to shake it harder. Thank you for the great product!
