I'm giving the Evolve protein drinks all four stars. I'm only holding back one star because they don't taste like a fat-laden ice dream milk shake.
PROS
1. These are a life-saver if you have had bariatric surgery and cannot tolerate whey protein products. I have never had a milk allergy of any sort, but whey protein goes right through me. Plant protein (mostly pea) is just fine.
2. These are definitely palatable and don't taste bad at all. I have tried chocolate, toasted almond and vanilla. The chocolate and toasted almond taste fine to ME. The vanilla really turns me off even though I usually like vanilla drinks. HAS ANYONE TASTED THE Mixed Berry Beet FLAVOR?
3. These are an excellent source of complete plant protein. They are "clean" by which I mean they don't leave any sort of film in your mouth and are not as chalky as some protein drinks.
CONS
1. I'd like to try the Berry Beet flavor, but I object to having to spend $30 and buy a dozen in order to find out how they taste. They should sell a sampler. Even the manufacturer's website shows the sampler as being out of stock.
2. Even though for me these drinks are worth every penny (no whey and drinkable), they are still pretty pricey. I can live with this because in the weeks following bariatric sleeve surgery, your dietary instructions include A LOT of protein drinks. They are hugely important in packing in high quality grams of protein at the expense of relatively few calories. The protein and exercise are essential if you want to lose FAT and not burn off MUSCLE mass.
Okay. I've convinced myself to give these drinks 5 stars after all.

A good protein, in every way possible
Back to basics. Less is more.
Evolve didn’t set out to be just another protein. Our goal was to be a good protein, in every way possible.
Our journey began in the mountains of Colorado, where the air is thinner, the people are fewer, and the cell phone reception is all but nonexistent. We began to see things a little more clearly, and it was here in the mountains where we decided to develop CytoSport, Inc.’s first plant-based and vegan protein line.

Pleasantly surprised
I’ve tried quite a few plant protein drinks; orgain, Vega, owyn to name a few and they are ok...this one surprised me...it was pretty tasty (chocolate flavor), it’s not chunky or too chalky, it’s still a protein drink.. but tastes waaay better than the others I’ve had. I will keep buying this one. The nutrition labels do differ from the product website, I have an email to their customer service asking which is correct. I’ll update when I hear back.
