OWYN Only What You Need Vegan Complete Nutrition Protein Shake, 20g plant based protein, 23 Vitamins Minerals, Nutritional Shake, Gluten, Soy, and Tree Nut-Free (Vanilla, 12 pack)

Loved these. Felt great. Sad that they're out of stock because i would have bought 3 more boxes! I like that there's carbs in these ones vs sugar free. I appreciate sugar free and low carb alternatives...but I liked these WAY better because it was sweeter and felt more like a complete meal.

They're not so sweet or sugary like the more well known brands. So I really like them when I'm hungry and don't fee like having a meal. Its a good supplement

Love the taste of this product. It's like a good glass of chocolate milk, good source of plant-based protein. Low card, 20 grams of protein, only 170 calories and satisfying. It's good on some cereals as well--makes it taste like dessert even if paired with a healthy cereal. The consistency is good.

I tried this coming from another product. The other product tasted and felt exactly like chocolate milk.So when I first got this, it seemed unexpectedly thick and with a slightly funny taste, and wasn't sure I would like it. So let me help clarify a couple things since this is where the most negative reviews come from.Texture: If you don't shake it, it will turn thick and gelatinous. If it sits too long, it will turn gelatinous. Basically just give it a quick shake when you're about to take a swig, and it's perfectly fine.Taste: If you're expecting chocolate milk, it'll taste a little off. Rather, expect chocolate pudding. It tastes almost EXACTLY like chocolate pudding. If you let it sit and it thickens, it basically IS chocolate pudding.UPDATE (taste and texture): They appear to have switched from plastic bottles to cardboard cartons, which I like. But they did change the formulation so the texture is more that of chocolate milk. This makes it slightly less satisfying, and it makes the taste match the texture a little less. But it's still arguably the best-tasting meal replacement I've had. I only wish I could find a powdered meal replacement that was even HALF this good.Now on to my take.I have EOE caused by Oral Allergy Syndrome. So I have allergies to soy, whey, nuts, fish, and most raw fruits and veggies. So finding meal replacements and protein supplements is a pain. Everything gives me heartburn or makes my mouth itch. Not only does this product go without these ingredients, they actively test against cross-contamination. I think I MIGHT get a slight reaction to one of the other ingredients (possibly Pea protein). But other than that, nothing whatsoever.If I could add anything, it would be prebiotics, and a bit more potassium. Then it would be the perfect supplement for the fact that I can't eat many unprocessed foods.

I've drank a lot of different protien drinks throughout the years & this is one of the best tasting drinks I've found. And added bonus is that it is dairy free & does not upset my stomach. It's also great for using in shakes.

I've been drinking these for the past 2 months or so now and have no complaints about the product itself. Great taste, easy on the digestive system as many other people have said. The only issue is that the price for the chocolate flavor has now increased by more than 50% since the first time I ordered at the start of June. The first couple of times I ordered it was $35.99, the same as OWYN's other shakes. Then by June 24th it was $44.99. Now it's $54.99, even though the Chai version of this shake is still $35.99 and OWYN's regular protein shakes are still $35.99. So it's $4.58 per bottle. As much as I like the product I won't be able to keep buying it at this price.Update 3/10/23: Lowered my rating after the recent change to Owyn's container (now in the square tetra pak rather than plastic bottle) and price. Owyn's price had dropped to $29.99 for a 12-pack for some time before this, but with the recent change to a new type of container they've reversed that and raised the price to $36.99. On top of that the new containers are smaller! They're now 11.15 fl oz (330 mL), rather than the old size of 12 fl oz (355 mL). So you get about 7% less product for a higher price. They also seem to have changed their formula as the new version is 250 calories (down from 300), which is not proportionate to the change in volume. On the plus side, something about the new formula and/or container makes the drink mix better - it actually gives a nice smooth texture now, the old bottles tended to stay a bit chunky no matter how much you shook them. The spout is a bit narrow and awkward to drink from but the real issue is just that they've raised the price and made the product smaller.

As a vegetarian with a dairy sensitivity, most of the other shakes on the market with whey protein isolate/casein just do not digest well. OWYN is fabulous. I suffered rapid weight loss recently and have been struggling to get enough calories with limited volume and low-to-no appetite. OWYN just goes down really easy. I have tried only the chocolate flavor. It is not overwhelmingly chocolatey, but quite tasty. It has a very smooth texture and is quite thin (I'm not a fan of thick shakes when I'm not feeling well). It can easily be added to a blender if you want to add in additional ingredients, avocado, yogurt, flax oil, etc for additional calories.Bottom line 300 calories for 12 oz is a lot of bang for your buck, good for FODMAP-sensitive folks, those who struggle to get enouh calories and nutrition (eg, if you're on a restricted diet). My RD recommended this!
