No shaker.
No bottle to wash.
The pouch is the shaker. Unscrew the cap, pour in water, screw it back on and shake. 22g of plant protein and nothing to carry home afterwards, which is the part that makes people actually keep doing it.
Thicker than you expect.
This is not the thin, grey liquid people picture when they hear plant protein. Roasted oats and brown rice give it body and a milk tea colour, and it holds together right to the last mouthful.
Use less water for a thicker drink, more if you want it to go down easily after training.

There is something to chew.
Most shakes are a liquid you swallow and forget. This one has little balls of roasted brown rice and oats suspended through it, so there is texture in every mouthful rather than just smoothness.
They do not dissolve. They soften in the liquid and stay chewy, which is why reviewers keep calling them a treat rather than a texture problem.
It also changes how the drink lands. Something you chew registers differently from something you gulp, and buyers describe this one as noticeably more filling than a plain shake.
If you want a completely smooth drink with nothing in it, this is not that. That is the one thing worth knowing before you order.
What buyers say
Swipe for more →Anywhere there is water.
At the desk
Lives in a drawer. Fill it at the office tap on the days lunch is not happening.
In the gym bag
Flat and light on the way in. Mixed at the bubbler on the way out.
On a hike
Weighs 40g until you add water, which is the opposite of carrying a full bottle up a hill.
The reason it travels well is that it is not a drink yet. A ready-to-drink bottle is mostly water you are carrying and paying to ship. This is 40g of powder until the moment you want it.
Why not a tub and a shaker?
A tub of powder
Cheaper per gram, and it will always be. But it needs a scoop, a shaker bottle and a sink. The bottle is the reason most tubs end up unused at the back of a cupboard by week three.
A ready-to-drink bottle
No mixing at all, which is genuinely easier. But you are paying to ship water, it needs a fridge once opened, and a full bottle is heavy in a gym bag. This is 40g of powder until you add liquid.
This pouch
Flat enough to sit in a laptop sleeve, mixes in the pouch, and the screw cap reseals, so a half-finished one goes back in your bag instead of leaking. The empty pouch goes in the bin.

One 40g serve.
Pea protein does the heavy lifting at 22g per pouch. Roasted oats and organic Korean brown rice are what give it the nutty flavour and the chewy pieces.
Sweetened with maple powder and allulose rather than sugar, which is how it lands at 2g of sugars. There is also chicory fibre and a probiotic strain in the mix.
Single pouch. For a week, the 7-Pack works out at $4.43 each.
All nine, including the one pea protein is short on.
Pea protein on its own is naturally low in methionine. That is the known gap in plant protein, and it is the reason people ask whether a vegan shake is a complete protein.
This formula adds L-methionine and L-leucine directly to the mix, so all nine essential amino acids are present in the pouch. Here is the full breakdown per serve rather than a claim.
Leucine
1,945 mg
Lysine
1,368 mg
Phenylalanine
1,167 mg
Valine
915 mg
Isoleucine
811 mg
Threonine
712 mg
Histidine
471 mg
Methionine
330 mg
Tryptophan
169 mg
Per 40 g serve. Leucine and methionine are highlighted because both are added to the formula rather than coming from the pea protein alone.
Three steps, no washing up.
Unscrew the cap
The pouch has a screw cap on a spout. No scoop and no measuring, since one pouch is one serve.
Add 200ml
Water or milk, straight into the pouch. Several buyers say milk suits this flavour better. Use less liquid if you want it thicker.
Cap on, shake, drink
Screw the cap back on and shake until smooth, then drink from the spout. It reseals, so you can put it down and come back to it. The empty pouch goes in the bin.
The bundles work out cheaper.
Questions answered.
Does it contain gluten?
Yes. This product contains oats, which contain gluten, and it also contains soy. It is not suitable for coeliacs or anyone avoiding gluten. It is made on a line that also handles egg, milk, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, crustaceans and molluscs, so the full precautionary statement is in the panel below.
What are the chewy bits, exactly?
Roasted brown rice and oats, in small pieces through the drink. They soften but do not dissolve, so you chew them as you go. Most buyers describe this as the best part, and it is what makes the drink feel more substantial than a plain shake.
Does it leak when you shake it?
No. The pouch has a screw cap on a spout, not a tear-open top, so it seals properly before you shake. It also means you can drink half, screw the cap back on and finish it later.
Water or milk?
Either works. 200ml is the starting point, and you adjust from there. Reviewers are split, with several preferring milk for this flavour and others happy with water. Less liquid gives you a thicker shake.
Is it a complete protein?
All nine essential amino acids are present. Pea protein is naturally low in methionine, so L-methionine and L-leucine are added to the formula to fill that gap. The full per-serve breakdown is in the section above.
What does it taste like?
Nutty and lightly sweet from the roasted grains and maple. One reviewer compared it to milk tea. It is not chocolate flavoured, so if that is what you are after, the Cacao pouch is the one.
Can I use it as a meal replacement?
Plenty of buyers use it that way when they are short on time, and at 22g of protein and 648kJ it is a substantial drink. It is a supplementary food rather than a formulated meal replacement, so it is not designed to replace all your daily nutrition. If you are relying on it for a specific dietary purpose, talk to your GP or a dietitian.
Is it dairy free?
Yes. The protein is pea protein, so there is no dairy or lactose in the pouch, and it is certified Vegan and Kosher. Note the precautionary statement still lists milk, since the line handles it.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
Not the pouch. It is a dry powder, so it stores in a cupboard away from direct sunlight. Once you have mixed it, drink it rather than leaving it standing.
