Question 1

Is there any information about the heavy metal contents in this product? Mainly Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic

Accepted Answer

I love this protein powder, but recently discovered it failed several tests in 2018 for arsenic and lead/cadmium levels.  It was too high in both.  Google the independent studies for protein powders and you will see it got an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5.  What lowered this from 5 was the presence of arsenic and lead and or cadmium.  These things are found in the soil of even Organic products.

Question 2

Does it really taste good? Does it taste chalky at any point or does it have a Stevia aftertaste?

Accepted Answer

I  mix the chocolate fudge with 8 oz of cold coffee, 1 oz of almond milk (unsweetened), a 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 5 ice cubes. Run it through the blender and serve over ice. It tastes like a mocha. Another option is to use 1/2 - 1 whole banana cut into slices, add 10 oz of water & 5 ice cubes. Run through the blender and serve over ice. I like it either way. Not a fan of vanilla anything so I've only tried the chocolate.

Question 3

can we mix the powder with regular milk

Accepted Answer

Hi. Yes you can.  Or use juice.  I have 3 fruit smoothie drinks.  If you care to know....  I love DOLE FROZEN MIXED FRUIT. EITHER the pineapple, Strawberry mango mix, or mixed Berry mix.  Omg so good.  Now..if you like black raspberry ice cream get the mixed Berry mix.  I even add 2 drops of raspberry flavoring.  I I use sweetened almond milk.  And I feel like wonderwoman after.  I'm diabetic and had a massive stroke.  If diabetic..berries are ok!  Low glycemic. 1 cup berries with scoop of powder, 1/2 cup milk of choice.   Now....with the pineapple mango peach mix...I use orange or mango juice.  Omg...I'm in heaven.  Mango to die for!  Lol. Yes I enjoy my daily healthy treat.  And if you really want a healthy dies...add a tip of  beet powder. I'm serious.  You can't taste it.  Add the Berry flavor beet powder to berries..u cantvtaste it.  Good for brain and circulation. Whats funny...I always drank milk.  Always had gut and intestinal issues.  Now I try to go back to milk...noon. I self discovered I am lactose intolerant.  So much better now.  Good luck!  Don be afraid to try new things!

Question 4

What I have not seen in reviews is if users have seen similar results (strength gains) as to other protein powder products.

Accepted Answer

Since going completely vegan, my strength increased markedly.  I turned 60 this year, and am lifting more than ever, and still adding on weights. This is the protein powder that I use. But as a stand-alone, there may be better products out there. I supplement it with 5 g of creatine and a glass of carrot or carrot/beet juice before a work-out. That combination kicks butt and gives fast recovery.
