I am a repeat customer!
By D. Shade on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025
I ordered this Ripple plant based protein multi-pack for my aunt who is lactose intolerant. She had been drinking Ensure plant based protein, so I knew this wouldn't cause her any digestive problems. This multi-pack comes with Vanilla, Chocolate and Coffee. It's a great way to test-drive all the flavors. Vanilla was my aunt's favorite, although she still feels it is "thick" (because she is expecting it to be the consistency of milk). I thought it tasted like a wonderful, melted, vanilla shake. She was "okay" with the coffee even though coffee is MY favorite! It tastes very much like a delicious cappuccino. The chocolate was everyone's least favorite. It has that weird taste that all chocolate protein drinks seem to have. It's drinkable, just not as enjoyable as the other two. I am very sensitive to artificial sweeteners - they taste awful to me and some of them give me a headache. Ripple plant based protein shakes use monk fruit instead of artificial sweeteners. I have not liked stevia in the past so I wasn't sure how monk fruit would taste. Happily, I found it to be acceptable. There IS an aftertaste, like with an artificial sweetener, but it is less strong and fades quickly, leaving the flavor of the shake to enjoy. And I haven't had any headaches from it either. I am already a repeat customer for this product - vanilla and coffee only though.

Not good for Colon Cancer Patients like me.
By Yasmin H. McEwen on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2023
I am writing this review to share my Memorial Day Weekend personal experience with drinking this Ripple Chocolate Protein shake so that other people who may have complications due to the pea protein-- can see what happened to me. Now if you have a healthy colon and can eat Peas safely-I cannot-this most likely will never affect you. The taste is good and I had been needing protein and electrolytes very badly after a heavy chemo bought with FolFox5. I had been up and walking- eating plain crackers-drinking water getting back to normal. Then this shake arrived and I thought, Yes! Even Better! So I refrigerated them for about five hours. Took one out to my balcony and truly enjoyed this nondairy chocolate shake. It DID give me a boost and I was finally able to get out and walk my dog. However, at bedtime, I drank another half a chocolate Ripple shake. I woke up at 3am deathly sick and immediately vomitted both shakes up. It was really scary!!! I then had horrible diahrea and to go to the hospital. Here I am with a Bowel Blockage possibly awaiting a surgery to get a colostomy bag. Ick!!! Major Surgery! I did have a total Colon Resection Cancer Surgery last March 2022, but this blockage is all new. Obviously, having Stage 4 Metastasized Colon Cancer and Metastacized Breast Cancer-I am not blaming the shake makers at all on making this blockage happen. I only can say that the Pea Protein immediately aggravated and enflamed my badly damaged colon. It really messed me up BAD! and now here I am stuck in the hospital. I hope this helps anyone so they can avoid this happening to them. Certain hard vegetables do not process well in the Colon. Peas is one of them.
