Do the shakes have a chalky taste? The protein powder I have now, I use coconut or almond milk. Can I use that with these shakes?

Hey Alyvia B. They taste suprisingly good :) I use almond milk with mine, I think it makes it taste sweeter. They only thing I would give you a heads up on is if you let it sit for a couple of minutes, shake it before you drink again.

There is really no taste. I add it to a Green Grass mix and it does not effect the taste. A protein shake should be just as good. You will be glad you tried it.

Add a banana and frozen strawberries and mango purée frozen with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Also good with banana 2 Tblsp of almond butter and dark chocolate almond milk also like various fruit/ fresh leafy veggies mixed. I like all three now protein flavors. Hope this helps

I used unsweetened coconut milk and it seemed to work well. It did turn out a bit grainy so I'm not sure what I did to cause that to happen.

I don't find it chalky. I can't answer the question about the stevia after taste because I don't use stevia.

It is somewhat chalky, just like most proteins, if you want a yummy shake you either have to go to Wendy's or put some additives in. It isn't gritty at all. The texture depends on what you make it with; ex. milk-smoothest, water-runnier.

I just don't like the chocolate for some reason, it's artificial tasting and didn't sit in my stomach well. What I do is use the vanilla mixed with skim milk in a blender, and I add a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder. That gives it a really good chocolate taste, plus you get lots of antioxidants from the cocoa powder (try to get dutch process for more antioxidants, iirc). The vanilla can also be used in various shakes and in a good fruit smoothie, which wouldn't work with chocolate.

You use 2 scoops of powder = 160 cal chai or 170 cal chocolate. Then add 8-10 oz liquid. I use almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk. Thats what JJ recomends.You can use water but it wouldn't taste as good. Don't use cows milk, it would defeat the purpose of a vegan shake.

I've tried almond, coconut, & almond coconut blend. Although delicious, very little ( if any) foam. Unsweetened soy froths up beautifully. Please post if you find a coconut milk brand that froths.

I have found that some almond milks froth much better than others (e.g. unsweetened Whole Foods brand froths up great, but unsweetened Silk brand did not). Coconut milk (or at least the So Delicious brand) does not froth well.

The milk helps give the shake more flavour, calcium/vitamin D, and calories. It doesn't taste as good with water, but I used alternative milks like almond milk, hazelnut milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. They still contain vitamins and minerals, taste great, and friendly to those who are lactose intolerant.

I make smoothies in my Ninja with Almond or Coconut Milk and fruit. I put the whey in after putting in the liquid and stir it up before adding fruit and haven't had any problems.

I mix it with bananas or apples and walnuts or almonds. I don't mind it by its self with almond milk or nonfat milk. I have found that it mixes better in the blender than in a shaker and the longer you blend it the creamier it gets. I have more energy and it's better than not eating at but I haven't lost any weight so far and I exercise regularly.

If you ever tried body by vi shakes with almond milk, it tastes just like that. Also almost taste like vanilla cake or a French vanilla latte

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

It is pretty much flavorless, with a faint clay-ish or chalky taste. I believe other flavors in your protein shake would completely cover any flavor from the L-glutamine.
