Do you use protein powders?
My husband habitually drinks protein shakes after every workout. Me not so much.
I’ve tried so many different kinds of protein powders over the years. But I eventually lost interest because a lot of them contain junk, don’t taste very good, or are gritty or chalky. You may have noticed that none of my smoothies and smoothie bowls include protein powder. I hadn’t found a product I liked until now.
I’m pleased to introduce you to Earth Chimp!! (my very first product review)
Earth Chimp Vegan Protein Shake Mix is precisely what protein shakes and smoothie dreams are made of!
In full transparency, Earth Chimp sent me a sample in exchange for a product review. So I gave it a try and am very pleased with the results. Seriously, this is the best vegan protein blend I’ve come across. Not just that, but my husband said that he really likes this protein powder because it is very smooth, tastes good, and doesn’t clump at all.
Please know that he just shakes some protein powder and almond milk together in a blender bottle. When I asked him if it was different from the others, he said that Earth Chimp is very smooth in comparison – all of the other plant protein powders he has tried has some grit in them.
But don’t take our word for it. Feel free to read tons of unbiased reviews for yourself on Amazon <- so that you can see that I’m not exaggerating. It averages 4.6 stars by 2,330 consumers (as of the date of this post). Many people like you and me claim that “this is the best vegan protein shake mix they have ever tried”.
And they aren’t lying. Honest. If their protein shake mix wasn’t very good, I’d be the first to tell you that straight up. I adore flavor and texture. Luckily for us, Earth Chimp has both. And I used it to create a delicious Red Velvet Hemp Heart Protein Smoothie – so keep reading/scrolling to try it out!
There are five specific reasons I love and recommend Earth Chimp to you.
1 – No fillers or junk!
NO NASTIES​ – Nothing that your mother warned you about….
No Added Sugar or Sugar Alcohols (Erythritol), No Gums, No Carageenan, No Added Salt, No Soya, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Lactose Free.
2 – Nutritious Ingredients
I love that Earth Chimp Vegan Protein Shake Mix is an all natural shake mix that only contains plant-based nutrient-dense ingredients. Each 35 gram serving (2 small scoops) contains 20 grams of plant-based protein, digestive enzymes, and healthful probiotics. The protein is a combination or pea, pumpkin, coconut, and sunflower.
In addition to the probiotics, their mix contains dates, banana, baobab, chicory root fiber, flax seeds, cocoa, agave fiber, monkfruit extract, cinnamon, and turmeric. There is literally a purpose for every single ingredient.
And the only listed allergen is coconut.
3 – Tastes great!
I’ve already admitted that I don’t typically use protein powder, but it’s not because I don’t want to. It’s the flavor, texture, and ingredients I don’t like.
Since I already went on about the ingredients and nutrition, I’ll tell you that this plant-based protein blend is different. It tastes great and has a smooth texture. It isn’t gritty and doesn’t have that overly sweet artificial vibe. And there’s zero weird after-taste.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? It’s bonafide. legit. real.
Earth Chimp Vegan Protein Shake Mix comes in three flavors – plain and unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. I received and tried the chocolate shake mix and love it. When I first opened the package, I got a whiff of devils food cake mix. Not gonna lie. It smells so chocolatey – I literally just wanted to stick my finger in the bag to taste the powder. (I resisted)
4 – Eco-friendly packaging
The first thing I noticed when my Earth Chimp Vegan Protein Shake Mix arrived is the packaging. It comes in an eco-friendly brown paper bag. Say good bye to those big plastic tubs! You know, the big plastic canisters that are only filled half-way… that has never made sense to me…
Earth Chimp’s paper packaging is slender and fits much better in my pantry. But it also contains an optimal resealable feature. It isn’t made with the traditional zipper that you ordinarily find on packaged products.
Instead, Earth Chimp integrates an innovative strip of micro hooks that seal perfectly together when pressed lightly. There is no need to line up any tracks to get the perfect seal. Plus, the fine powders of this shake mix don’t inhibit proper function. It seals perfectly! Sorcery?
5 – 1 Tree is planted for every order!
And it gets better still. Earth Chimp plants one tree for every order you and I make. Yup, they are investing in our future right now.
Earth Chimp has already planted thousands of trees! They are on their way to achieve their goal of planting one million trees to help combat climate change – pretty awesome!
So, if I don’t drink protein mix with milk, what exactly do I do with this vegan protein shake mix?
I made this Red Velvet Hemp Heart Protein Smoothie! I made it specifically because the smell of this shake mix reminded me of devils food cake mix.
Plus, I really wanted to test the flavor and texture of this protein shake mix. I purposely did not hold back either. This smoothie includes my all-stars – dates, greens, hemp hearts, and beetroot powder. Things I can normally taste in smoothies. But surprisingly, I only tasted delicious smooth red velvet chocolate.
Isn’t that delightful!!

This smoothie is absolutely delicious!!
I mean, it’s everything you could want in a healthy Chocolate Shake. It includes so many nutrients and good for you substance. And I love that it does not taste at all like a protein shake mix. Nope! Instead, this delightful concoction is chocolatey, smooth, and creamy – in an indulgent way. Some sort of witchcraft, I’m sure.
I love the whole plant-based ingredients used to create this dreamy shake mix. Now I just need to buy the vanilla to try for myself. I’d like to make a Pumpkin Protein Shake using my Pumpkin Frosty recipe…
