Garden of Life RAW Meal shake: Merry Berry Energy Booster

By Leave a Comment

sdfg

Let me just say right off the top that I don’t love this Garden of Life RAW Meal flavour. It’s something called “Yerba Mate” and it’s exclusive to Whole Foods. I don’t know what it is about the taste, but it’s my least-favourite of all the RAW Meal flavours. That said, the good news is that it really is energy-boosting and you can mask a lot of the flavour with fruit. I love making this shake on the mornings I know I have a tough workout ahead of me (here’s looking at you, Pickering Fit Body!), because it sustains me really well. I use some frozen organic wild blueberries and frozen organic strawberries — which means you don’t need to add ice — and a handful of organic spinach. You can toss in unsweetened almond milk or filtered water, depending on the consistency you prefer. I also like to add 1/4 cup of ground tigernuts (filberts), which are an excellent source of fibre and soooooo filling! You’ll see I used two cups of almond milk, and that’s because to use RAW Meal as a meal replacement, Garden of Life suggests using two scoops of powder. Therefore, you have to double your liquid, too. Blend it up and suck it back! Then go kill it at the gym.

 

DISCLAIMER: I have worked with Garden of Life for nearly two years, because I trust their claims and love their clean ingredients. I recommend Garden of Life protein powders above all others — both online and off. From now until October 30, all Garden of Life-related posts earn me ballots to win a glorious two-night trip to a resort in Florida. Mama needs her sunshine, and all opinions are my own (as always).

  13. So nice to be able to add protein to a meal without the meal being heavy with bog-down foods. I have never tried this and… who knows?…I might even like the taste of it. I believe I will buy this, whether or not I win it!

  27. I’ve tried the chocolate and it wasn’t too bad, but I really have a hard time with the flavour of a lot of vegan products. I did feel great while using it though.
