weight loss diet: Customer Reviews

I am a huge fan of the Original Raw Meal but the taste definitely left something to be desired. 
The new Vanilla Raw Meal tastes great! I only use one scoop (to keep the thickness down 
a bit and to stretch out the canister) with almond milk and a little ice. I think having it super
 cold improves the taste.

I will continue to drink the Original for breakfast (mixed with OJ) since I'm addicted but now
 I have a great lunch substitute as well!

Highly recommend.

***EDIT - I recommended this to a friend and she HATED it. Was very mad at me for saying 
it tastes good...SO I would like to say that this tastes good to me but I really like healthy things.
 This does NOT taste like a vanilla milk shake. For those of you familiar with Raw Meal, 
you will recognize the gritty texture (though I feel it is less so than the original) and it still has a "green" 
taste which is kind of weird mixed with the vanilla. Again, I repeat, this is NOT going to taste like ice cream
. This is a healthy alternative to the chemical-laden meal replacement shakes that many people drink
 but the taste will be an adjustment.

Now, firstly, I want to say that when it comes to food, everyone has their own preferences... 
but I must say, those that did not like the taste or the consistency are just full of it
 (and are probably pretty picky eaters)... now, I don't have the highest level of refined palate,
 but this stuff is really great tasting!

I was almost scared away this excellent find by reading some of the reviews here on amazon;
 But a friend of mine really swore by the stuff and I gave it a shot.

What I originally did was take a lot of the suggestions that were posted here and did them all at once... 
My first mug of the stuff consisted of 20oz (4oz more than the suggested 16oz... because apparently 
it was too thick with the stated amount of water) of chocolate almond milk (to mask 
the poor flavor and to help with the consistency). It was a little too rich for my tastes,
 but rather good nonetheless... if anything it was a little thick for my tastes (which had me worried...
 after trying every trick in the book... I thought I was going to spend a fortune on buying tons
 of almond milk to try and 'water it down'...).

Later I discovered, that the 16oz with water is actually how I like it the most. 
The advice to drink it up quick is the only way to do it (letting it sit for any amount of time turns
 it to bread pudding pretty quickly)... I just throw the 16oz water in with the two scoops
 of the mix into my blender, give it a whirl, and bam, time to drink up. For those 
that want to take this to work with them for lunch or enjoy it later in the day,
I would suggest looking for a different product- because I would be scared to think
 what this would turn into if left unattended.
