Customer Reviews

Excellent nutrition
After years of trying to lose weight with diets and meal plans I finally found Spiru-tein. I had tried Atkins with absolutely no results, had consulted with my doctor, who did nothing to help me. I am 5' 6" and weighed 145 pounds!
Then, after researching a variety of products, I found Spiru-tein. One shake for breakfast, one shake for lunch, then any reasonable frozen dinner. No measuring, no debating about what to eat, it was easy! I had all the nutrition I needed every day with no mental anguish.
Within a year I not only lost all the weight I had gained, I was in better shape than I had been for most of my adult life.
When the topic of weight comes up with other women and they ask me how I lost over a hundred pounds, I tell them how easy this was!
Most of them taste pretty good...banana is my all-time favorite!

Best tasting line of protein powders
Spirutein is really the best tasting line of all the protein powders out on the market right now. Each of their flavors is true to its name and they provide great nutrition.

Spirutein is formulated in a way that makes it easy to mix. I usually use a blender but sometimes at work I use one of those shaker canisters and it mixes up really well.

Banana is my favorite flavor, but there isn't a flavor that I don't like. Some of the Fruitein flavors are a little too sweet but if you add some water rather than juice they taste okay.

Which brings me to: this is the only protein powder that tastes good to me when I only add water. Most protein powders indicate that they may be mixed with approximately 8 ounces of cold liquid and they suggest water, milk, or juice. Honestly, I don't think milk or juice are all that great. Juice often has added sugar and many people cannot digest milk all that well. No problem with Spirutein, just add some really cold water and it tastes fine.

For low carb dieters, this product has 9 usable grams of carbohydrates per serving if you just add water. This is much better than one of those protein bars. Most of those have about 22 grams of carbos and contain high fructose corn syrup. Stick with the protein powders.

This product gets 4 stars because it's a little expensive, a bit more than the other protein powders on the market. Otherwise I have no nutritional, quality, or taste complaints.

Spiru-tein evaluation
This is the best health-drink mix I've yet to find. It has a tri-protein base (rice, pea, soy), a good range of vitamins and minerals, excellent protein-carb-fat ratio, choline & inositol, digestive enzymes; mixes well in water - goes great in rice milk. I add to the mix: 1 tsp of Total EFA oil, 1-tsp granular lecithin, 1-tsp bee pollen, and 1-tbs of flax seed meal. I have been making my Spiru-tein "health drink" for almost 20 years now and can't say enough about it.
