"Unless there is a medical reason not to use the soy, I recommend Alive's soy protein blend over this. The soy protein mixes better and tastes better in a wider variety of liquids. The rice protein mixes very thickly with a lot of clumps. The taste isn't as good. Since I purchased 2 of them, I can totally deal with it, but can't wait to get back to the soy! Alive is a great product and I recommend it to everyone, just not this variety."

"Overall seems to be a pretty good product". Because I am just mixing it with water the taste was pretty bad. Then I had an idea. I tried putting some drops of original liquid Stevia in it and it didn't help much. I went to my local health food store and bought a bottle of Stevia in the Vanilla Creme flavor. I put about 6 drops of that in my drink and it improves the taste a lot.
I've been drinking the product for a week now and I have noticed that I have more energy and not feeling so run down and tired as I was.
I checked at price for this product at my local health food store today. It was "on sale" for $8 more than I paid here. JUST ORDERED TWO MORE!"

"I enjoy this every bit as much as the soy version of Alive! I was concerned about getting too much soy (since i was using soy milk to add to it, and soy for dinner, i thought i should cut back somewhere). I use this with one scoop of the reSet Metabolism to add more vanilla taste. I've actually gotten used to the green and the taste, so on my vacation i drank it with soy milk plain!"

"I can't believe the price on this fabulous product! I mix this in a blender with half a banana and 8 oz. almond milk, since I can't have dairy. It's a very well-rounded product as far as the ingredients. My grandmother used to say that eating is all about balance. This product definitely delivers."

"Very happy to find a rice protein wholefood product for my green shakes. Tastes better with rice milk than water and I have peace of mind knowing I'm getting a wholefood based supplement with all the ideal ingredients (fruit complex, mushrooms, green, EFAS, vits, enzymes, omegas, fiber, etc). Knocked off a star for the price as it goes quickly and its about $1 per scoop!"

"My
family and I highly recommend this product. We all notice the shift in
energy and vitality when we mix up a shake. It mixes just fine, any
lumps break up easily with a fork, if your just using glass. Quality
product."

"This product is great for the range of nutrients it includes in just one scoop. I tried switching to tablet supplements thinking it would be easier to take them consistently but I found that I was much more consistent taking this product. I do recommend blending in a blender since shaking for me always left pretty unpleasant lumps. Definitely a great bargain since they charge more than double at Whole Foods."

"I used to drink the one made with soy until I found that soy wasn't good for people with thyroid problems. I was disappointed because I have researched many meal replacement products and this one has just about anything you'd want and the price is right.
I mix mine in a blender with fruit juice, yogurt and any fresh fruit I might have on hand and it comes out as kind of a thick smoothie, no problem blending and tastes like whatever fruit you put in there and you sure can't beat all the healthy ingredients that's in it."

"Rather than return the product, I threw it in the trash after taking it a few times. It had a chalk like taste, and it didn't mix well at all. It may have been good for you, but I simply could not handle the taste and its lack of mixing well."

"I have enjoyed using ALive. I drink the vitamin mix everyday to substitute for my breakfast. The best way that I have found to mix it is to make a milk shake with it. I use skim chocolate milk, add ice, and blend it to a shake consistency. Sometimes I will add a bananna or strawberries to it. Try it, you may like it. This is a great product with a great value."
