I am a smoothie lover...I have been for several years now. Whenever I am trying to lose weight or just get some extra fruits and veggies in me, a smoothie is typically where I will turn. Smoothies are soooo good for you...especially the green smoothies. Another reason I love making and drinking smoothies is because my children do not eat veggies and really need that nutrition. So, as soon as I found out that they liked smoothies, I gave them green smoothies (but usually added blueberries so they would look purple instead of green...colors mean something ya know!). Drinking smoothies was another thing that I did when I was pregnant. I was so sick when I was expecting Isaac, protein was the only thing I could drink. I would buy protein shakes and have one for breakfast every morning in hopes of staving off the morning sickness. Some mornings it would work, some mornings it would not work. I had to try though.
Recently, I discovered a company that makes pure plant-based protein shakes! Their formula is in powder form and is similar to whey protein powder. I was really excited to find this company because I am on a diet again and am trying to add more healthy foods to my diet. I am also struggling with eating a healthy breakfast and wanted to get back into drinking my smoothies. PlantFusion makes a dairy free, soy free, gluten free and hypoallergenic plant-based protein drink mix that is amazing. Before I continue, here is more about PlantFusion...

I have never tried the whey powders before but they always smelled nasty so I never wanted to try them. PlantFusion has come up with a new flavor called Cookies N' Creme and this is in addition to their four other flavors: Unflavored, Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Raspberry and Chocolate. These don't sound like healthy drink flavors to me...they sound like milkshake flavors!!
So, for this review I was sent sample packets of PlantFusion in their 4 flavors as well as a 1 pound canister of their newest flavor, Cookies N' Creme! Having never tried this brand before, I was very excited about tasting these. They all sounded so yummy!
This morning, I decided to try the PlantFusion Cookies N' Creme. Upon opening the container, I stuck my nose in and took a big whiff. Wow...it smelled sooo good! It actually smelled edible! LOL! I noticed that this powder is VERY powdery. I accidently dropped the scoop in the container and it "foofed" everywhere. I was much more careful after that. :)
All I did to make my shake was fill a tall shaker glass with cold water. Then, I added one scoop of powder and shook it vigorously for about 5 seconds. When I poured it into the glass, it looked exactly like you would expect a milkshake to look. Frothy on top and chocolate underneath that. Because it wasn't quite as cold as I like, I did add some ice. The flavor of PlantFusion is wonderful. You can definitely tell that you are drinking a plant-based beverage, but it is not an unpleasant flavor at all. I thought I would drink it quickly but it actually took me awhile because it is a thick drink.
As usual, when my daughter saw me enjoying my shake this morning she had to try it too. So, I gave her the glass and let her have a taste. And another taste, and another taste. She enjoyed it very much! I would have given my son a taste too but he has a cold soooo, no sharing with him. Maybe another day.

After finishing my Cookies N' Creme PlantFusion drink I was full. There was no desire to eat anything else and I was satisfied. This seriously could become a good breakfast option for me as it has so much in it. I am especially pleased to see that there is 21g of concentrated protein in one scoop...that is fantastic! Because I am breastfeeding, good nutrition is important and I know I am getting good things through PlantFusion!
PlantFusion retails for $26.99 for a 1 pound container. Again, you have your choice between their newest flavor - Cookies N' Creme and their other flavors: Chocolate, Unflavored, Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla Bean. Honestly, my favorite so far is the chocolate because I am a chocolate lover. You can also find PlantFusion on Facebook and Twitter so be sure to check them out there for more news and information.

So, in my opinion...PlantFusion is a wonderful product! I love how I can get all of my protein nutrition in one drink, and that there is variety when it comes to flavors. It is also nice to know that I can give my children a little boost now and then too...if it tastes good, they are sure to want more! I am definitely going to recommend this to anyone; especially vegans and vegetarians. This has EVERYTHING you need without using an animal product. I love it!
