About 

Arbonne is a well-known multi-level marketing company that has been in business for decades. It has traditionally sold skincare products but has branched into makeup, hair, and nutrition in subsequent years. In addition to teas, fruit snacks, and drink additives, they’ve developed a line of protein shake mixes. Their products are 100% vegan and cruelty free, and focus on a holistic  approach to healthy living. The protein shakes are said to be helpful for weight loss.  

Nutrition 

The Arbonne Essentials Protein Shake Mix has multiple things going for it, including the inclusion of superfoods, a high 20g of protein, only 14g of carbs, and no controversial ingredients. The shake is higher in calories than similar products, at 160 per serving, 3g of fat, and 9g of sugar. It also has a disappointing amount of dietary fiber, at only 1g. The plant-powdered protein is derived from peas, rice and cranberries, and does not cause a spike in blood sugars.  

Uses 

Arbonne recommends the shake used by mixing 2 scoops with 9 ounces of cold water.  Some users mixed it with various types of milk or added it to smoothies, often for breakfast.  

Flavors 

The Arbonne Vegan Protein Shakes are available in chocolate and vanilla.  

Price 

At about $2.53 per serving, users were not all that happy with the price. The initial cost is around $79 for a 30-day supply, much higher than other similar products. Arbonne does, however, offer free shipping on orders of this size.  

What People Are Saying 

Reviews for Arbonne’s Vegan Protein Shakes are positive overall. Review headlines include “Try it! You will love it!”, “Best powder out,” and “My kids love it too.” Those happy with the product complimented the non-chalky or gritty taste, flexibility, and results. Many were excited to feel much better after using the product. They liked the flavors as well.  

Some reviewers had adverse reactions to the higher sugar content, including inflammation. Some were frustrated with the ingredients, including stevia, which they said aggravated their weight loss results and made them feel bloated. But overall, reviews have been positive.  

Conclusion 

Arbonne consults with holistic healers for their products. Their all-around approach to health is mind and body connected. This new product has helped numerous users feel more energy and lose weight for a healthy lifestyle, in accordance with the company’s mission. Some, but not many, adverse reactions have been documented, and some people have taken issue with the ingredients. However, those reactions have been limited. Though the price is high, it would appear that the Arbonne Vegan Protein Shakes are well worth the cost. Plus, they can be bought together with other nutritious supplements,snacks, skin care, and beauty products offered by the company!
