- Happy Viking Plant-Based Protein Powder +100 Superfoods Strawberry Meal Replacement Shake, Created by Venus Williams, 30g Plant Protein, 10g Fiber, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO,15 Meals

I purchased the strawberry flavor based on other reviews (I am normally a chocolate person). The flavor is good, but it's not very strong. It does have a slightly chalky texture but it is still very palatable. I mixed mine with 12 oz. of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and would highly recommend trying this or something similar. I used one of the blender bottles with the whisk ball in the bottom and it mixed easily. I will purchase this again and recommend to anyone looking for a healthier protein drink. Update - I have tried the other flavors as well now, including the variety pack of single serving pouches. Chocolate is a favorite. The tropical smoothie was pretty good also. My least favorite flavor is the Berry Parfait. It was much to sweet for me. The coffee and cookies and cream flavors aren't bad but I did not taste the flavor I expected. They were both more of a very mild chocolate flavor than anything else.

I tried this shake mix for the first time on Feb 16...the strawberry flavor. I thought it was too watery and to artificially sweet. I decided to give it a chance. Although I did decid to try other brands as well. Happy Viking is the winner. I add a ripe banana, one scoop of oat powder, and two ice cubes. I mix with water. It mixes better than milk. I've been drinking this for breakfast for one week now, and in the evening I've been trying other brands for dinner, since lunch is my big meal. Happy Viking definitely tastes better, and after one week, mytastebuds have adapted tothe sweetness. I also use an app called Lose It! to track calories. I am down 2 lb in one week, and not feeling hungry at all. I recommend trying Happy Viking for a few days to a week before making a decision. They have a single serve pack with all eight flavors. You'll end up liking it. I did.

Light taste. Not thick and like most smoothies.

Look, let's just be honest here. Don't expect this to taste like a milkshake. It's a meal replacement drink. Is it 100 smooth? No. Is it overly flavorful? No. Is it sweet? Yes. When you buy protein powders you hope for the best and are oftentimes disappointed with some aspect of it. This has a lot of fruits and veggies so I wasn't expecting it to be really smooth. I can only speak for the chocolate and the strawberry but to me, they both taste great. I mix half unsweet almond milk, half water and a bit of ice. For the strawberry, I add 1 tablespoon of freeze dried strawberry powder to ramp up the flavor and cut the sweetness. For the chocolate I add 1 tablespoon of unsweet cocoa powder. This product keeps me FULL. (and for me, that's the goal) I can't say that about the very popular premixed protein drinks most people buy. This has now become my "go to" and I'm not disappointed.

Happy Viking is easily one of the best tasting protein powders I've tried. All the flavors taste very good. I really like the strawberry, but my favorite is the Greena Colada--like a yummy Pinacolada--wish it was available outside the variety pack in 24oz. Would agree there's a little chalkiness, but I mix with extra creamy oat milk and then I don't notice it at all. I drink a protein shake in the morning and it gives me a feeling of fullness that lasts until lunch.

The new Strawberry formula is just awful. It is now gritty, thinner, and tastes artificial. I tried it a few times, and realized there has to be a change in ingredients. Seeing the most recent reviews confirms my suspicions. I would no longer recommend this to anyone.

I was given the awesome opportunity to try @drinkhappyviking superfood plant based smoothie. While I am not plant based, I do eat a diet that is heavy on the fruits and veggies, as we all should! I tend to get bored with my protein so this was a fun and tasty way to mix it up. Plant based or not this is probably one of the best tasting protein drinks I've ever had, it isn't too earthy or chalky tasting and has a smooth consistency. I blended it with almond milk as as well as egg whites (I said I wasn't plant based) and it was delicious in both. 20g of protein with 4g dietary fiber (I love my fiber) and so many other vitamins and minerals- calcium, biotin, Iron and so on. Also... NO BLOAT!!! Let's be real... Some shakes make ya feel a little "jolly" if you know what I mean. In any case, the strawberry was fantastic, no digestive issues, has a lot of great ingredients, and blends well with whatever you put it with. I'm a fan and will work this into my protein line up!

I’m going to preface this by saying I’ve never tried another protein shake, so I have nothing to compare this one to. It definitely fills me up, but the taste is not anything great. I could still see myself ordering again because I do like how simple it is, but I would not buy this expecting to really enjoy it. From what I gathered from other reviews, it sounds like all plant based protein shakes don’t taste the best. The strawberry flavor is just palatable enough for me to get through 12oz of water, if I drink it quickly while it’s still cool. The flavor almost reminds me of children’s liquid antibiotics. It is a little chalky, but I purchased a shaker bottle which works really well to break things up. If I do buy again, I would probably try another flavor.
