Orgain: Sweet Vanilla Bean

Product Type: Functional: Protein Drinks and Supplements; Container: 11 oz tetrapak
BevNET Review: For us, it’s a tossup between Orgain’s Sweet Vanilla Bean and Creamy Chocolate Fudge flavors. It has a sort of milk and soy flavor to the base, making its primary flavor very similar in style to that of a vanilla soy milk. However, there’s a weird aftertaste that hits your tongue immediately after, which is clearly an unintended consequence of all of the nutritional ingredients that have been added to the drink. Like its counterpart, this product is loaded with protein (16g), vitamins, minerals, omega-3 and amino acids. In fact, reading and making sense of the nutrition panel and ingredients list for this product will certainly take some time and patience. Ultimately, the drink appears to work, making you feel full, nourished, and energized after consuming a single 11 oz. container. So in that sense, we’ll give it our seal of approval – but we still wish that they could improve upon the flavor. On the packaging front, they’ve done a good job of making a pedestrian Tetra Pak container look and feel healthy. There’s a lot of text on the front panel, making some of it easy to glance over, including one of the most important bits of info: this is a meal replacement drink. Improving the placement of this text should be a priority – even if some of the other text has to go. Fixing this (and perhaps working on the aftertaste) would make for a much improved product.
