“For medical reasons, I am vegan. This has reduced my options for acquiring necessary protein. I also have a difficult time eating in the morning, which has been an issue for over 30 years. Rather than waiting for my belly to settle and accept food, I've resorted to protein shakes. Too many contain dairy, a large number also contain gluten. Nearly all are packed with enough sugar to put a candy shop to shame. Don't get me started on the textures and flavors. But Koia? This stuff has been a blessing. I love the flavor! It's rich and yummy, and not too sweet. The texture? It doesn't set off my gag reflex. Gluten-free? Oh, yes please! I love these things and will never tire of them. The Vanilla Bean is, by and far, the best of all the flavors offered.”
