Tone it up protein powder

Has anyone tried this? Just wondering what the taste is like and if you had any gas/bloating with it?

Such great timing, I just bought a pack of Vanilla and Chocolate last week to try. I’ve been reading reviews on Amazon and they go both ways (it’s yummy or it’s gross ). I also bought some unsweetened Almond milk to mix it with. I haven’t done a workout in a few days so I’ve been using that excuse not to try them. I’ll do a workout tonight and report back how the first one tastes.

I have not - it's vegan right? I tend to think that most vegan protein powders end up having a similar taste/texture... kind of "chalky"?

That said, I am actually planning to buy some of their protein bars at Target next weekend since I have a gift card. I've heard good reviews of those!

Just tried the Vanilla powder. Smelled sweet in the packet, smelled like playdoh in the unsweetened almond milk, didn’t mix well (clumpy), and tasted like chalky playdoh. I could only take a small sip before I poured it in the sink.

I love this stuff. Always use a blender to mix it and usually add fruit and spinach.

Yes both vanilla and chocolate, plus coconut, caffe latte, peanut butter. I have green tea matcha but haven't tried it yet. Tone it Up sells them on-line. Target has them in stores and on-line. The only flavor I didn't like was cinnamon bun; it seemed chemical. I loved pumpkin when they had it, but they haven't offered it recently.

I like it. Coconut is my favorite though.
