Product review: Plant-based protein shakes for children from Else Nutrition: Hard to sell despite healthy ingredients

Next came the all-important taste test. I had them tasted not only by the kids, but also by their parents and the host of our show, Chip Carter.

I gave the six-year-old the vanilla flavored one and the three-year-old the cocoa flavored one. Their reaction was anything but positive. The six-year-old said, “Yuck,” and put the drink back on the table. The three-year-old took a sip, put it back on the table, and pushed it away.

My son described the drink as “beyond awful and not something anyone would enjoy.” Chip said, “I’m glad no one forced me to drink this as a kid.”

As I said, I absolutely loved this product and was really hoping for a different reaction when I gave the four-year-old the cocoa shake. Now, I wish I had been allowed to take a picture of it. This one picture could represent this entire review. He took a sip, grimaced and shuddered. Mine and my daughter’s reactions were very similar. It may not have been the worst thing I’ve ever tried, but it was definitely far from the best.

If you’re looking for a kids’ drink with a clean label and high nutritional value, this product is for you. Unfortunately, getting your child to actually drink it will be a whole other problem.
