GROUNDED Plant-Based Protein Shake 12 x 490ml

Truly tastes like a creamy chocolate milk rather than a protein shake

Hands down the best "fridge able" ready made milkshake I've tried in years. Really chocolatey and thick and morish. If I was to make one gripe it would be you have to vigorously shake it before drinking it and maybe halfway through drinking it if you don't guzzle it cos it can separate quite easily. But aside from that I'd very highly recommend these. Five stars.

This milk is really creamy and thick, which I absolutely love. It's made with a simple list of ingredients and it's packed with protein, which most dairy free milks always skimp on. Very aesthetically pleasing packaging too. All great things really, but overall I regret this purchase I got the chocolate mint flavour as I usually enjoy the chocolate mint combo and thought it would make for an indulgent treat with crushed Oreo sprinkled on top. I found the mint flavour here to be overbearing and slightly medicinal; it's not the sweet mint flavour you might associate with other chocolate mint products (mint ice-cream, milkshakes, biscuits, chocolate etc) and reminds me more of strong, natural peppermint oil. It's okay; drinkable and made better with extra cocoa powder mixed in to balance out the flavour a bit. Not the best flavour overall though, the mint they've used doesn't work harmoniously with the cocoa and pea protein, in my opinion. The other thing is, the packaging says to use up within 24 hours of opening. I didn't notice this from the outset or I wouldn't have purchased the 6 cartons of milk - it's just not enough time for me; they look like smallish cartons but it's still 500ml and the milk is surprisingly high in sugars (something I moderate consumption of). Several cartons in, I've never been able to finish the whole thing and there's a noticeable deterioration in taste so on the second day it tastes really medicinal; it's even worse if you freeze it. What a shame when it's such a pricey milk(!!) So at first glance, a very cool plant-based milk from a very stylish brand - I love how unusually thick it is - but there's no escaping that this is an expensive milk with a very short shelf life once opened and ultimately really let down by flavour. Taste is very subjective though and you may enjoy the flavour, I just wish I'd purchased the plain chocolate version instead; it would have been a safer, more versatile option and I might have been able to use it up in recipes once opened.

Bought to try as Huel is out of stock of their shakes due to supply issues. This tastes okay. But it's very high saturated fat 7g per bottle as opposed to Huel which is 3G saturated fat. It's also quite expensive for what it is - it's not particularly high protein and isn't a complete meal like Huel yet is the same price. Won't buy again but hopefully this pack will tie me over.
