Koia Plant-Based Protein Shake - Vanilla, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

My go to protein shake. It's a really good quality shake that tastes good and helps you feel good as well. I love the flavorbecause it's sweet but not overly sweet. The consistency is milky with a nice smooth grit to it from the chickpea. It helps keep me full between breaks at work and also helps my muscles grow! I've shared some with friends and family and everyone loves it, even my little cousins ask me if they can have one every once and awhile.

I really like these shakes and find this packaging convenient because they can be delivered when I am not home and don’t go bad immediately. They have a vanilla taste and a medium thickness.

For medical reasons, I had to go vegan. On top of this, I also have celiac disease, which means no gluten. Then the addition of side effects from several medically necessary medications causing me nausea and other unpleasantness. This stuff here? Perfect thickness, no additional sugar, packed with nutrients, and a texture that doesn't make me gag. It's also DELICIOUS! I have one every morning, and an hour later I'm able to eat without gagging. I also have one before dinner, reducing my appetite and resulting in no heartburn when I go to bed a couple hours later (up at 5AM, in bed by 9PM). It would be nice if the containers were recyclable. I contacted my local recycling place and inquired about it. Big nope. I also asked my doctor and a nutritionist about these, and they gave the thumbs up. I haven't lost any significant amount of weight since I started drinking these about a month ago, but my body feels better, sleep has improved, and I have more energy through the day. Fun fact: standard cereals are high in carbs, which give a short burst of energy, but will leave you crashing later. You need a breakfast high in protein to get through to lunch without crashing a couple hours after breakfast. Lunch should be your largest meal, also high in protein, for energy and no crashing. Dinner is ideally the lightest meal. Going to bed with a full and heavy stomach is a great way to have horrible heartburn and terrible sleep. Snacking on low-carb foods between meals is also very healthy for you, according to the nutritionist I saw. You can have a high protein diet while vegan. These have more than 30% of the protein most people need per day. Two of these are around 70% of my personal protein needs. If it's in your budget, give these a go. If you don't like them, give them to someone else. Several stores also carry the individual plastic bottle versions in their refrigerated goods section, so grab one of each flavor and see which one you like best. Oh, and these also have a hefty amount of necessary fiber. If your bowels have been less than cooperative in one extreme or the other, fiber will help with that.

This protein shake is amazing, no chalkiness, not too thick, and I needed it to help with the function of my medication and it does the job well! Just expensive, like every other item that is beneficial w/o all the unnecessary ingredients. The taste is bearable, wanted to try another flavor in a timely manner being that I already had vanilla, but couldn’t. Maybe next time!

I've been buying OWYN vanilla protein drinks for a long time. I agree with some reviewers of that product that is not always the same consistency so I decided to search for a new protein drink. Based upon wanting plant based and reviews, I landed on Koai. Very happy with the purchase and I will continue to purchase in the future. Good taste and ingredients. Recommend for purchase.
