Who knew Protien Powder could help save my relationship my my teenage son!
So my 14 year old son comes home after watching a documentary at school on slaughterhouses and announces he is Vegan!... I’m totally a meat and cheese lover and to me this was soul crushing but I always try to support his decisions even when I think it’s nuts. I started preparing vegan alternatives for him and I found that he was dropping way to much weight he looked almost gaunt and I told him this phase was done he needed protein. So instead of listening to me he mentioned what if I take protein powder. It seemed reasonable enough so the search for protein powder began. I started with a power that was twice the amount of this product and 1/2 the size not only that it claimed to be vegan yet contained egg whites in the ingredients! I of course said it’s no big deal but to my son he was devastated he had ingested a lie. So I went through 2 more powders and a lot of money and guess what both claiming to be vegan contained things like dehydrated honey for flavoring (not vegan friendly) and the other one tasted so bad even when mixining it into pancake mix and covering in syrup couldn’t mask the taste. I had literally had it then my son came to me and said mom look I did the leg work myself and I researched all the ingredients and read the reviews on this power and if it doesn’t work I will think about just being a vegetarian but my heart knows I’m a vegan, to top it off he even offered to pay for this one (I didn’t make him pay)... but I will admit I was skeptical for 2 reasons. #1 the price seemed too reasonable compaired to others on the market and #2 others had claimed to taste good and be totally vegan yet when they arrived some of the ingridents provided in original description been omitted. In the end I purchased the KOS protein powder to show my son that I tired really hard to be supportive of this huge lifestyle change but I was under no illusions it would be the answer. TO MY AMAZMENT KOS PROTIEN POWDER WAS IN FACT THE ANWSER!... First of all the bottle is huge!! It’s not like one of those that is packaged to look big and then you open it and the powder is only filled half way up and the scoop is the size of a full cup per Serving it was full of powder and the scoop was perfect! Then came the real test. I made pancakes for breakfast and... he asked for seconds! I have hesitated on posting on this in order to be completely transparent after all it could have just been luck and the pancake mixture masked the flavor but then I made protein bars and muffins and guess what I’m ordering another bottle in vanilla flavor and I have found other recipes that will allow me to even branch out and buy the chocolate too! My son will be home later and I want to get a picture of him with the protien becasue he is soo happy that he is following his heart and embracing the vegan lifestyle and I am happy that I found the most amazing protien powder in size flavor and cost to help support his convictions!! I would give it 1000 stars if I could.
