Finally, a meal replacement powder without added sugars, dairy, gums, or fillers. Pure food has a new product that will rock your world!

Here’s a message from their founder:

As far as differences between our original protein powders and REAL MEAL, the latter is a bit higher in calories than Pure Food and better suited as a meal replacement. It has some different ingredients that offer unique benefits compared to Pure Food Protein Powder. It tastes slightly sweeter and smoother. I use them both regularly. See below  for a comparison of the two products REAL MEAL and pure food protein.

Here’s some info about our REAL MEAL Chocolate flavor.

TASTE & TEXTURE:

I’ll just say it like it is: Pure Food Real Meal isn’t for everyone.

So, if you are someone who cannot live without sugar, sweeteners, and milkshake texture, you definitely won’t enjoy this product.

However, for those of you who appreciate high-quality clean food products and are ready to sacrifice a bit of flavor, Real Meal is the real deal. But to be honest, compared to similar products on the market, Pure Food can be considered just as tasty. It has an earthy and natural flavor to it. If you mix it with almond milk, fruits, peanut butter, or anything else you can think of, it will enhance its unique chocolate flavor. It goes without saying that, if you only mix it with water, the taste will be plainer and not so enjoyable.

As for the texture, it doesn’t dissolve very well – unless you mix it thoroughly. This is completely understandable with pure, clean products – because real food doesn’t magically dissolve with a few stirs. You’ll get used to it.

All in all, this cacao protein powder tastes natural and clean and makes a great pre or post-workout shake. If you’re expecting an artificially sweetened chocolate milkshake, however, you’ll be disappointed. But if you’re a clean eater who understands what an organic, plant-based, natural protein powder is supposed to taste like – then you’ll actually love it!
