Garden of Life Goatein -- 440 g

Pure Goat's Milk Protein. Goatein™ is a unique protein powder made from goat's milk. As an animal protein, Goatein™ is an excellent source of complete protein containing all eight essential amino acids. Since goat's milk protein molecules are structured differently than cow's milk proteins, Goatein™ is easy to digest and can be tolerated by many people who cannot digest cow's milk. Goatein™ goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones or antibiotics.

"I supplement with a protein powder nearly every day, alternating whey protein with a plant-based protein. I like Goatein because goats milk is easier to digest than cows milk. The taste is fine and it mixes okay but I take it with a fruit smoothie and use a blender. Those reviewers complaining about texture and taste must be blending the powder by shaking or hand mixing. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product."

Best source of protein, December 31, 2008
By L4HIM

"I'm not a breakfast eater so I've learned to sub with nutritious shakes. I've used several protein powders for a breakfast shake but they've either not agreed with me or have not made a noticeable difference. After much reading, I tried Gotein in my almond coconut shake and have loved it. Best source of protein and good to my tummy!"

works great, August 12, 2008
By barefoot from yuba city

"I was using a low temp whey. I decided to give this product a try. I have to say I am very happy with this product. I do add a packet of stevia and a little fruit. then it taste great. other wise you can tell it is from goat milk. which might take a little getting use to."

Does NOT taste good at all., February 26, 2008
By bodg from Kentucky

"I am usually the kind of person that can tolerate most things especially if it's costly. I couldn't even force myself to complete this bottle of dried milk. I tried using it things while cooking and such, but all I could taste was the powdered milk product taste. I was dissapointed considering the makers, I expected better."

"Because some memebers of our household are dairy intolerant, we were looking for a source of added protein that contained no dairy. Garden of Life is a company whose research we have grown to appreciate. Vitacost is a company whose prices we have grown to appreciate, too! Thanks!"

"This protein powder is highly beneficial for all blood groups. I drink it daily. I like that there is no bloating, or gas issue hours later. It satisfies and sustains me for 6 hours. The price is a little high, but the quality is there."

"You won't find a higher quality, safer Goat's milk product than Garden of Life produces. It's also a very nice product but does have a little goaty taste. Se beware!"
