Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal is one of the greatest products of its type on the market, no question! I've been using it for many years, it provides an almost instant feeling of well-being from just 1 scoop in any liquid you choose.👍🏻
I tried a few sample packs of the vanilla and loved it. I will head back to Sprouts to get the large jar. It was only a little over $30. Thanx for this review 😊
As an Arline pilot I take this on my trips around the world, mainly aboard because you won’t find barely nothing healthy in the breakfast. As a tip, I suggest taking with almond milk. It’s delicious. Of course, no sugar at all.
What is your favorite meal replacement or protein supplement? I can honestly say that this Garden of Life Raw Meal has really helped out my gut. Order Some Here amzn.to/3mTwdJ3 Drinking this for breakfast is always a great start to my day. The vitamins and probiotics really work and if I go a few days without it I can really feel it in my stomach. Comment down below and please like the video and subscribe to my channel, it really helps.
This has been my breakfast for 2 years. I use one scoop of chocolate, with 2 bananas, some peanut butter, a little cold brew and fill the rest with almond milk.
Yeah I have been using it for over 7 years and it is something that I use every single day and it makes me feel good and it fills your belly perfectly.
I just purchased some yesterday from the Vitamin Shoppe for 27 bucks, they had a sale. I truly appreciate your review. I was talking Herbalife (2 protein shakes 1 healthy meal a day) the last 7 days and oh boy it gave me serious gas 😩 I truly hope this works well for me. I'm 5'10 @ 190 pounds and want to shed 5 to 10 pounds.
I have experienced the same problem with gas on some of the other veggie based shakes but honestly this on is all good, let me know how it works out for you
I was on a product called Meal 53. Absolutely amazing. Burned weight off and I felt energized all the time. It had 53 raw organic ingredients. I could not get it anymore and switched to Garden of Life because it was raw. That is my best advice Raw and only Raw. Although this product is not as good it still works great. Some flatulence is natural with raw products.
Just purchased this recently and I'm wondering how or if you learned to make it taste better 😉 I tried a banana it's a little better but still trying to tweak it.
yeah I have gotton use to just drinking it straight up, other than that I have used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, banannas, maybe a spoon full of peanut butter.
How are y’all still using this product???? Nestle’s take over gutted the expensive, high quality ingredients with mostly pea powder; Estrogen. The dietary fiber is now 2g when we should be getting at least 5g but if possible 8g. When this video was made the dietary fiber was at 7g. This is a huge price gauge and you’re going to bloat from the estrogen. 😬
I'm like you, with the digestive issues at times. Tried the Trader Joe's, it was so so. Just ordered this from e-bay, I'll start with the 1 pounder. Great info, thanks!
Cool, yeah please let me know how it works for you, I have tried a lot of others but the Garden of Life Raw Meal has given me the best results for stomach issues
Yes for sure but of course as with all weight loss you need to burn more calories then you take in. This has certainly helped me do that because now i only eat a normal or heavy breakfast once a week as a treat and start most days off with this.
I have a question. Is it ok to mix in the coffee? I use moringa powder try to get enough iron and mix with coffee. I am wondering if it is ok to mix this too. I just bought and try to get as much information this product. Thanks your time.
Thanks for the review. I bought this stuff because a friend mentioned it. I love chocolate and peanut butter fruit smoothies but I was out of protein powder. So I am going to try it but I wanted to see if there were reviews for this brand. I saw yours and clicked. Quick to the point and you seemed like you live a normal life. (Bacon is the devil but it's my devil😂) I am trying to find a balance in my food life. Have a great weekend. Thanks again. Will let u know how it works for me if you don't mind. Peace.
@@NomadLIFEreviews Thanks a lot for the video!..it was really so helpful!..what about the heavy metals people have just been talking about with regards to this product I’ve just been seeing it while researching about this product a friend of mine recommended it to me what’s your take on it?..Thanks in advance:)..new subbie
Garden of Life Raw Meal really is great stuff, I get one jar a month, lots of good vitamins for sure, check it out here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S6Y74O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ccg13x-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B007S6Y74O&linkId=59afa70ccdf65df42616c7bb20018a7c
Personally, I feel like it would be too much protein. I don't follow a high protein diet though, so another person might not agree with me. But one serving of this alone for me plus dinner would give me more than enough protein...
A That’s what I pretty much was going for, a high protein diet lol. It’s okay I know it can be too high for others who have different meal plans/goals but this actually worked out for me 3 months later (after I posted this comment lol) thank you for your comment tho! :-)
I’m doing a 30 day vegan challenge, and I bought the regular organic vanilla garden of life. Can I still use this one as a meal replacement? I didn’t realize I grab the regular one instead of the RAW one.
Hi I’m currently on a weight loss journey. I’ve lost 17 pounds so far. Was doing herbal life but decided it’s just not for me. Looking to see if this can continue helping me to lose weight? But also stay healthy? :) which flavor do you recommend?
Thanks, yeah this is one of the best Raw Vegan Protein shakes I have found, I don't follow a full vegan diet but I have found whey protein stuff makes my stomach ill, this Garden of Life Raw Meal is good stuff, go with the vanilla flavor in my opinion
Ultimately it contains a fair amount of protein so if you work out hard and take other nutritional supplements then sure, it would help but if building pure muscle mass is your goal than there are certainly more protein dense supplements out there. That being said I think this is a healthy way to build reasonable lean muscle mass.
NO I got this based on various reviews on RU-vid and I HATE the taste. I guess everyone has different taste buds and you shouldn't say it tastes good rather describe the taste
I just bought one of this and Iam struggle with sleep at night... I mean I can sleep easily but when in the middle of the night I go to pee or something Iam struggle to sleep again
Could use some honey if you want but the chocolate version has a pretty good chocolate flavor to it and doesn't need any sugar added to it imho. I like peanut butter added to the chocolate version in a blender.
If you would like some more protein than just add sperilina plant based protein. It has loads of protein for just one teaspoon. If you mix it with the raw organic meal you shouldn’t taste it.
I am looking for something that would contain fruits and veggies for the day, currently supplementing with vitamins though. I’ve thought about this product but don’t know about the percentage of vitamins/fruit/veggies in it. I do eat a healthy balanced diet. I just read the back and saw the “fruit and vegetable blend” but can’t find it on the website or eBay. Any suggestions?
Yes, it will help with UC Colitis in my opinion. I am no medical professional but I have been pretty serious into sports nutrition throughout my life and work some as a first responder so that background along with a lot of self-education I would say I have a decent opinion about it. One thing I can say for sure is this stuff absolutely helped me out with energy lever and heartburn issues along with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Thanks for checking out my video and best wishes to your health.
I usually don't even use the scoop anymore, if I have a big spoon I will just do one big heaping scoop or if a normal size spoon I will do 2. I travel a lot so it is a bit inconsistent on the mix but I can really tell the difference in my gut if I skip a few days, I think the probiotics in this shake mix really help with digestion.
I don't know what to think now. GOL has been my favorite for years but now I've heard that it was sold to Nestle and is now using cheaper ingredients. What to do now..? Vega One? Sun Warrior? Ughhh.. and I'm vegan so I only want plant based. 😫😪
I read that they partnered with Nestle but that they weren't compromising on their product. Or this: Garden of Life Will Become Part of Nestlé December 5, 2017 by Marilyn Geminocompany  Dear Garden of Life Fans, Today, we announced exciting news that Garden of Life will become part of Nestlé. We are thrilled. This combination signals that USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified nutrition, based on real, whole and plant-based foods, has a seat at the world’s largest tables. When we started looking at our future and our growth, we realized we just could not do it alone. In order to scale true Organics (Certified USDA Organic) and realNon-GMO (Non-GMO Project Verified) ingredients, and provide more people with high-quality, meaningful products at prices they can afford, we needed the help and expertise of a worldwide leader. So, we actually set out on a mission to find a partner that would honor our values, embrace our mission and help us fulfill Garden of Life’s true potential. I spent time getting to know the people at Nestlé, their vision and their values. I saw first-hand how much we have in common. They have no plans to change us - what we do, what we stand for or what we believe. Our commitment to truly traceable practices, proven through third-party certifications - Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten Free, NSF and Informed Choice Certified, and most of all, B CORP - is foundational to who we are. Nestlé sees our value and wants to help us as we pursue our mission. I plan to be very open with you as we take our steps forward with Nestlé. I want you to know that we are, and will always remain, the same great brand you’ve trusted for so many years. Our mission is to Empower Extraordinary Health, and to fulfill that mission, we will continue to bring to market the most innovative Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified foods and supplements without compromise.
WOW! Nestle really have 💩on this product since the buy out🥺😤 now I have to find a replacement… for this video, there were 7g of dietary fiber and today as i hold my container, it’s only 2g 🤯🤬
I ordered this to use as a breakfast replacement. I'm not afraid of carbs though, so might add some oats and/or banana to it and chuck it in the blender. I like to do my workouts in the mornings sometimes, so feel like I might need a little more energy from it...
@@NomadLIFEreviews vegan gains? Was just wondering if it was a good item for weight gain because a friend of mine said he uses this along with what he eats and he gains but if there are way better options I would probably want to use that.
"Vegan Gains" is a term that means if you are trying to body build and gain weight but want to stick to a plant-based diet. I think this stuff is good either way. If you like to drink milk then you could add this to a glass of milk and it would be good clean protein
I have to disagree, it is not the best tasting thing when just added to water but with almond milk it is good but even with plain water it is ok. What is your favorite?
Yeah I have tried a lot of different protein powder and meal replacement shakes and this Garden of Life brand tastes pretty good with just water and really good with almond milk or something like that
Good to hear it helped with your digestive issues. I've had the same problem lately which I think is probably related to stress. Ordered the DetoxiFiber, meal replacement for breakfast, and also the enzyme tablets to take after meals to help with digestion. I think my stomach is going to be VERY happy! 😂
Consumer Report claims vegan protein powders contain high levels of arsenic and lead in them. Garden Of Life ranked number one for having the most heavy metals, arsenic and lead contamination "according to Consumer Report". What are your thoughts on these claims? Here is a link to the Consumer Report article I read on the subject: www.consumerreports.org/dietary-supplements/heavy-metals-in-protein-supplements/
