Ripple Protein Vanilla Plant Based Lactose Reviews Summary

Taste

Pros:

• "It's thick and creamy."
• "It’s not like drinking a chocolate shake, mind you, but it’s pretty good for what it is."
• "These are the best commercially-prepared protein shakes I’ve found. Great taste, no 'chalky' texture."

• "The chocolate shakes are so good."
• "Ripple is like a delicious treat only I feel much better drinking it and no after taste at all."

Cons:

• "The taste of this protein shake is absolutely horrible. It taste pure oil and water with very little of vanilla."
• "Fell in love with these bottled shakes due to the flavors and chocolate, coffee, and salted caramel. Unfortunately the vanilla flavor is absolutely awful."
• "The taste of this protein shake was awful. I can stomach most anything but not this at all."
• "The taste is disgusting, the chocolate tastes flat, like watered down chocolate pea water."
• "It tastes just like mashed up peas and a hint of coffee. The coffee flavor is gross, I won’t be tasting any of the other flavors unless their free."

Texture

Pros:

• "It's a tasty protein shake, but for the price and the purpose, I think it could def use a higher protein amount."
• "I drink a lot of plant protein shakes and a lot of them aren't easy to down. Ripple has good consistency and the flavor isn't overwhelming either."
• "These are silky and amazing flavor."
• "It's creamy, strong chocolate taste, doesn't have that usual protein after taste that so many brands have."
• "These shakes are pleasantly chocolatey and worth the extra cost."
• "This is smooth and a decent thickness that kinda mocks milk."
• "Great flavor - tastes like chocolate milk to me."

Cons:

• "And #4 after this being Evolve which was a bit gritty and not really enjoyable."
• "The vanilla protein tasted pretty mediocre but I threw the pack away when I noticed the way the liquid hardened when exposed to warm temperatures."
• "But the main thing that puzzles me is that it's watery."
• "The 'vanilla' flavor doesn't really have any flavor. Kind of tastes chalky."
• "Sunflower Oil and Sunflower Lecithin, Guar Gum, these 3 things are not healthy to be consumed as a daily drink."
• "The powder had that chalky consistency."
• "It’s really thin, tastes like water and milk, and there was no coffee flavor at all."

Packaging

Pros:

• "Nice to take on the go with you too since they have a screw top."
• "I love that these bottles have screw on lids. This allows them to keep better."
• "I also like that they are shelf stable."

Cons:

• "Only complaint is that it's hard to open them by just twisting the top - I've found that cutting the perforated plastic is the way to go."
• "The bottle are difficult to open. I am 86, and my grip is not as strong as it used to be. It was necessary to cut the plastic cover off the top of the bottle."
• "Do not know who your target audience is but I am a senior & have much difficulty opening the seal around the top."
• "The plastic around the lid is difficult to remove-it’s easier to cut it with a knife than use the little ‘tear tab’."
• "The bottles are just too hard to get into, especially in the morning when I’m in a hurry to make my smoothie to take to work."
• "The tab on the lid was a little tricking to open."
• "The silver cap can be a pain to tear off every day and some minor dents develop through transport, but never had a bad bottle."

Value

Pros:

• "These are the best commercially-prepared protein shakes I’ve found...Some have remarked about the cost, but when you consider that this is a meal replacement they’re actually very cost-saving!"
• "I found it on Amazon of course and even though it pretty pricey the drink is so worth it!"
• "This product is pricey so it is more of a splurge product but it’s super good."
• "This brand is affordable more affordable when considering others and if you’re able to stretch out a bottle for two servings (two days) the case will last you longer than 12 days."
• "My favorite taste wise costs 2x what this does, so this one is definitely more economical and wins for value."
• "I did happen to find these at one of my local Walmart stores for cheaper, so it's worth checking around if you're trying to work within a grocery budget, like I am!"
• "It’s comparable in price to others and is creamy and delicious with 20 grams of protein."
