Has anyone tried Sunwarrior blend? What are your favorite plant based brands for smoothies?

    I've never tried Sunwarrior. I've tried RAW (Garden of Life), PaleoMeal, and VegaOne. I like VegaOne best. I use them as meal replacement (specially when I travel). If I just wanted wanted the protein I would go for pea protein powders (it's much more affordable).

    Hey... Well, I got the Sunwarrior yesterday in both chocolate and Vanilla... The profile and price seemed the best for me, I didn't want rice protein. I want to try Vega, a bit costly right now but will try samples... Thanks for your feedback!

    My favourite is Pulsin pea protein - you can add it to either sweet or savory and is really affordable! I tried the chocolate Sunwarrior in a shake and really had to force it down, I still have a couple of sample left though so may try using them in a beltsander brownie and see if I can mask the taste :')

    I like the Orgain vegan chocolate fudge. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk, and sometimes I'll throw a banana in if I need extra carbs.

    Vega is eh. Sunwarrior is my favorite powder, vegan or nonvegan.

    Orgain was one of the two I was looking at but went with the Sunwarrior because I didn't want the rice protein. Will have to try it at some point, as I hear good things about it...thanks!

    I actually recently bought just a GNC brand of Whole plant based protein and it's delicious. I hated Vega Sport. Haven't tried Sun Warrior though

    I hate mlm's but also use the Arbonne one with the fiber boost. It's yummy blended with a large cup of ice and almond milk.

    Earlier this year I had to eliminate all milk products from my diet including my Dymatize protein :'( The best in taste I've found so far is Plant by V (Vitamin Shoppes own brand). I just couldn't get along with Sun Warrior or Vega's taste which was disappointing as they're both good quality products.

    How did you manage to get that stuff down? I like Raw Meal and Raw Fit and even I couldn't get past the taste of Manitoba Harvest. I mean, I like hemp seeds and all, but that stuff tastes like hemp concentrate or something

    Yup! I'm not arguing with you. I also love the product.

    Hey...I was looking at that one, funny you mention it because, up until I saw it the other day, I had never heard of it...will have to give it a try, I will most likely want a few products to switch on and off with...thanks for your feedback...

    I have been drinking sun warrior's Vanilla warrior blend as part of my breakfast for a good few months now. The taste actually really depends on what you mix it with. I found it horrid with almond or oat milk, but absolutely delicious with rice milk. I don't like to mix it into my smoothies as it makes them too thick (I drink it from a protein shaker bottle with just rice milk), but that's a personal preference. Try out a few things to see what you prefer.

    Interesting, thanks for the suggestions... I actually like the way it smells, and will try it tomorrow, usually use coconut milk, will try the rice milk also!

    Happy to say I love my new Sunwarrior blend Vanilla! Made a smoothie with frozen strawberries, banana and organic low fat milk... I was pleasantly surprised and am looking forward to using this in the morning... Chocolate one tommorow...:)
