Evolution Fresh: Protein 30 (2009)

Named for the fact that the product has 30g of protein per bottle, this product has very pleasant flavor and loads of nutrition. Made with 93 percent juice, including orange, pineapple, apple, banana, and mango, there’s a decidedly tropical taste to the drink. There’s also a note of coconut, which gives way to the gritty protein base to the product. Assuming you don’t mind the grit – and if you’re the type of person that appreciates 30g of protein, you probably don’t – the product is very easy to drink. There’s just the right amount of fruit juice flavor to balance it out, with not any one flavor taking over your palate. Nutritionally, this product has 420 calories per bottle (210 per serving) and, in addition to 30g of protein, is loaded with vitamins and minerals (too many to list, in fact). On the outside, you’ve got a standard smoothie bottle that’s been decorated with a design that’s clean and appealing. Fruit images, minimal text, and a nice looking Evolution logo accurately set the tone for what’s inside the bottle – a well executed, fresh tasting product.
