I bought this particular brand because it was as it's name says pure vegan protein and above all has no stevia and instead the sweetness which was pleasant is derived from the mong fruit. In Asia, it is a popular tasty fruit called Lo Han Guo with many medicinal values including treating colds and poor digestion.

I ordered Daily Vegan because I wanted a no-frills, stevia-free protein powder that didn't have a lot of ingredients but still packed a lot of protein for the punch. I saw the good reviews for this product as an alternative to stevia-laden vegan protein powders, so I had high hopes.<br /><br />The smell is pleasant and the powder is a beige color. With this type of protein, the powder gets &#34;staticky.&#34; If you've ever used fresh yeast, you'll know what I mean -- bits cling to the scoop like they're almost magnetic and can &#34;jump&#34; around. It makes a mess if you're not careful.<br /><br />But the taste.. it's awful. With so few ingredients, I had hoped for a neutral taste that could be easily undetectable in a slurry of fruits and vegetables. I was wrong. The monk fruit flavor is overwhelming and repulsive. I can't stand it. I think it's even worse than stevia. I wish they didn't put it in, it would be perfectly fine without it. No matter what I put into my morning smoothie, it can't cover up the nasty flavor of the protein powder. I will cram whatever I can into the blender -- strawberries, cherries, bananas, even kale or anything else overpowering, and nothing can cut through this horrible flavor.<br /><br />A friend described stevia as the uhh, shall I say, sweaty and salty undercarriage of Satan. Monk fruit, as I have quickly learned, is the closely-related cousin, with an even worse cloying, chemically tasting note. I am so, so disappointed in this product and I will never, ever order it again while it contains any of these godawful sugar substitutes.

BEST. PROTEIN. EVER!! tastes exactly like the xymogen brand and is an amazing alternative to wheat and soy!

High Quality product! Tastes great! Just like Xymogen OptiCleanse GHI. Highly recommended.

I have purchased this protein shake for my 14 years old son, he is in track n field school team and leaves home too early for full breakfast, he loves smoothies, so i decided to give it a try n add Daily Vegan, heard wonderful things about it, and my son aproved, what else can i ask for it, the best of both worlds, he loves it, it is wonderfully healthy for him and i'am one happy mom!!!!

I love this stuff. It is exactly what I needed. It mixes well, does not taste bad but actually gives my drinks that little bit of thickness to make them slightly a smoothie. I will continue to purchase this. And I don't get so hungry!<br /><br />Bobbie
