Ripple Vegan Protein Shake | Chocolate | 20g Nutritious Plant Based Pea Protein | Shelf Stable | No GMOs, Soy, Nut, Gluten, Lactose | 12 Oz, 12 Pack

(This is a review of just the chocolate flavor, I tried the vanilla and it was ok/good, but the chocolate is where it's at!) Look, friends, I've tried them all -- all the vegan ready-to-drink protein shakes out there, and all the dairy-based ones (I'm not a vegan). THIS IS THE BEST ONE OF ALL TIME! Now, I wish it had a little more protein but 210 calories and 20 grams isn't bad at all. As I see them, here are the pros and cons: We'll get the cons out of the way first! CONS: 1. Sugar is the 3rd ingredient, and it has 9 grams of added sugar per bottle. OF COURSE IT TASTES AMAZING! lol. Even though I keep my sugar per day to under 50 grams of added sugar, I will drink one Ripple protein shake per day, happily. It's worth the sugar content. 2. Sunflower oil is the 4th ingredient. One bottle has 8 grams of fat from the oil, but again, IT TASTES AMAZING so I'm ok with it, just wish somehow it could not have that much oil, or even, magically, no oil. But moving on . . . 3. It has gum arabic, gellan gum and guar gum. Does this matter? Does this harm us? Hell if I know! (You can find stuff online that says it does and that says it doesn't.) But if this matters to you, now you know. 4. It ain't cheap. But for 20 grams of protein and IT TASTES AMAZING, I'm ok with that, too. PROS: 1. NO chalkiness, not at all, none, NADA! Smooth and creamy. 2. It's vegan, so if you are, here's your protein shake. 3. I CAN'T QUIT THESE they are so tasty! I've tried. I've tried whipping up my own smoothies/shakes in my blender because: cheaper and less "processed" but man. . . these Ripple Shakes are EASY and did I mention yet that they taste amazing? 4. The carbs (13 grams) and fat (8 grams) are actually also pros for me -- because it's a great snack on its own -- or pair this with some dry roasted edamame like I often do, and it's a decent 300 calorie snack with 35 or so grams of protein and you get that sweet/salty vibe. 5. These are not too sweet tasting!! EVERY other protein shake is WAY too sweet for me. I guess I have less of a sweet palette than most Americans? Anyway, these are perfectly, lightly sweet. Hope that helps. JUST BUY THEM! I think you'll love them!

If you're on the hunt for a truly satisfying and effective plant-based protein shake, especially one that doesn't compromise on taste or quality, then listen up. I've tried countless vegan protein options before; many taste chalky, have weird textures, or just don't deliver on the protein. This Ripple Vegan Protein Shake in chocolate? It's a total life-saver! Before this, finding a convenient and delicious protein source that fit my dietary needs was an uphill battle. Now, the difference is immediate. It's incredibly smooth, with a rich chocolate flavor that actually tastes like a treat, not a chore. With 20g of nutritious pea protein per serving, it's fantastic for post-workout recovery or a quick, healthy boost during a busy day. What truly sets this apart for me is its impressive nutritional profile and clean ingredients. It's completely free of GMOs, soy, nuts, gluten, and lactose, which is huge for those of us with sensitivities or specific dietary preferences. Plus, it's shelf-stable, so I can stock up and always have one ready. It's also a great source of essential minerals like iron (30% DV!), calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. If you struggle to find a delicious and effective vegan protein shake that truly satisfies, this Ripple shake is an absolute must-have. It's truly reduced my stress about getting enough protein and made healthy eating so much more enjoyable. Pros: Delicious, smooth chocolate flavor; no chalky taste. 20g of high-quality plant-based pea protein. Free from common allergens (soy, nuts, gluten, lactose, GMOs). Shelf-stable for convenient storage. Excellent source of iron, calcium, and other vital nutrients. A genuinely satisfying and effective protein option. Cons: Honestly, I haven't found any cons worth mentioning. It exceeds expectations for a plant-based shake. Highly, highly recommend this Ripple Vegan Protein Shake for anyone seeking genuine relief from bland protein options!

I can't believe how good it tastes. It's got a minimal, nearly undetectable, protein "chalk", and it's not even in a bad way. Also, no weird aftertaste and the texture is smooth, but not thick. Overall, I could see myself drinking 1-2 of these a day.

Good tasting pea protein shakes. They are pretty expensive but good for on the go if you can’t have dairy or soy like me. The chocolate flavor is pretty good and they don’t taste chalky. Overall I’d recommend

I LOVE this chocolate drink!!! It’s rich and creamy and makes you feel a little bit full, which is great for me because I barely eat a full meal a day!! I need to have them daily at least once or twice! Fantastic real chocolate taste, no grittiness or aftertaste! I think I might have to try the mocha/coffee flavor as well!

This is my go to protein shake. It is great for a quick breakfast or snack. The protein level is good, it sits in my stomach well, and it's a reasonable number of calories for the protein and sugar. It's not the cheapest option, but it is the best tasting.

I have ordered these several times over the years. Tastes great and is an excellent vegan "dairy" option.

If you are used to drinking high-quality protein shakes with high-quality ingredients, this is not the one. I love their protein chocolate almond milk and thought this would be a good option. I was wrong. When VEGETABLE OIL is one of the main ingredients, this is NOT what you want to be drinking. Ripple you can do so much better, you have with your other beverages. Drink this only if you are desperate, like the taste of oily beverages and don't care what you put in your body. I don't even what to donate thsese to the food pantry because I feel bad someone else will drink this.
