5.0 out of 5 stars It's really the perfect meal, September 26, 2008

I've been using this product for about three months now. I had used protein shake in the past and they always made me feel bloated. This is different, very different. It digests very easily, it's smooth, flavorful and best of all, you don't feel hungry for quite some time. I've used it as a breakfast substitute when I don't have the time to eat in the morning, and it's perfect. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Garden of Life - Perfect Meal Chocolate Shake, 658 g powder (Health and Beauty)

Garden of Life's supplements, while they look great in theory, always suck. It never ceases to amaze me. Every time I'm suckered into buying another one of their products, I'm let down big time. I remember YEARS ago when Goatein was one of the their first products. The stuff was like $40 for a tiny little bottle, and digested about as well as tree bark. I've probably tried 10 different GOL products, and haven't liked a single one. This Perfect Meal is no different.

First of all, the product label states there are 24g of carbs per serving. Looking at the ingredients, you can't tell where the carbs came from! It doesn't even mention them, until you look below the label and it says "other ingredients: xylitol". There's 24g of carbs from Xylitol in each serving! That's A LOT of sugar alcohol! I like Xylitol, don't get me wrong, but when I use it, I use 1 teaspoon, at most. That's 4g of carbs from Xylitol. This stuff has 6x that per serving! Then on top of it, they add Stevia as well! It's sweetener city, yet it doesn't even taste that good!

Basically, all this product is, is whey protein, xylitol, and cheap fiber blend, and a "blood sugar balancing" blend, which uses very small amounts of seaweed, which they say is high in chromium. Probably cost $5 to manufacture this stuff, yet I paid $37.50 for it in the store. The price here on Amazon is better, but it's still not worth it. Doesn't digest well, makes me bloated, and gives me an uncomfortable "full" feeling for 5 hours. Yes, that's good for some people, who want to feel bloated and full, but not me.
