Buyer Beware - Deceptive New Packaging
We've used the product for a while and like it. However, I feel Garden of Life is being extremely deceptive in their new packaging (see attached photo). Which one looks like it has more product? Turns out the new, larger/taller container has 10% LESS product (20 oz vs. 22 oz) than the old container (but at the same price, of course...). And the large sticker on top proclaiming "30% More Protein"? That's because they changed the definition of the serving size (1 scoop) to be 30% larger (28g vs.22g) than previously. With the larger scoop, of course you are getting more protein (22g vs. 17g), but only because you are using more product per serving. So you are getting no more protein per ounce of powder, but paying more for it while being duped into thinking the "new and improved" packaging and powder is somehow better. All to make a buck (between the reduction in total weight and the upselling of recommended serving size, you now get 20 servings per "newer, bigger" container vs. 28 servings in the old container. So for those who have used this product in the past, beware that they are giving you less for your money and trying to convince you to use more product per serving with deceptive claims and new packaging.
