I have significant illness-related issues with appetite and had been making my own super smoothies for meals. I could only manage one a day, and the cost became prohibitive. So I tried several commercial protein/meal powders and was put off by most--none could really stand alone, had to add spinach and fruit, some nutritionals, etc.. But this one--soooo good, by far the best. It is very palatable and even yummy to me (which makes it easier to get some good nutrition .And I am able to finish it and feel quite well fed.) It contains so much good stuff--all organic, good amount of vegan plant protein, plus other good things, and no sugars. Top-notch.
