One of my favorite things to do right now is to make protein juice smoothies. It's a great way to get some protein in but mix it up a bit and kick the milk out of the way (which helps in lowering the calories).

While I've done the no sugar added lemonade and also mango passion fruit, my favorite is Diet Cran-Cherry with Vanilla Protein powder (with splenda, ice and sugar free cheesecake jello pudding mix - you can find the lemonade refresher recipe in my book by clicking HERE).

I've been using RSP Truefit's Vanilla which I LOVE. It has prebiotics and probiotics in it which is great for gut health. As much as I love RSP's Vanilla, it is definitely more of a meal replacement vs straight protein (3.5g fat, 14g carbs, 25g protein). So I was looking to get a plain vanilla in another brand to have on hand as well for those days when I need 1 or 2g of fat/carbs and 25g of protein.

I have been seeing these adds for Truvani on TikTok. They have beautiful packaging, their ads got my attention AND they're plant-based. While plant-based is not a necessity for me, it's better for digestive health, so I have been intrigued but have yet to pull the trigger on ordering the sample pack online.

The other day, I went to central market to look around and I saw they had the sample packs there and got so excited! I got a vanilla and chocolate peanut butter. SO NOW, back to my protein juice smoothie. I got home from the gym, got my personal blender out, made my smoothie and.....

I'm pretty disappointed. It was very chalky and tasted NOTHING like vanilla. It almost had a tea flavor to it. I don't know, I wasn't here for it. Maybe if you like tea and chalk, this could be for you.

So yeah, just in case you're on the same side of TikTok that I'm on and get the Truvani ads as well and have been intrigued - I know I'm only one person, but that's my honest opinion on it and I'm pretty honest about my protein powders. They're ALL protein powder. When I say I LOVE RSP Truefit's Vanilla - it's STILL protein powder.....but I love it for what it is, ya know?

Anywhoo, there's a review - for the 2 people that read my blog ;0)
