Happy Viking Plant-Based Vegan Protein Powder +100 Superfoods - Chocolate

Since I started down this road of high protein living I had been trying to find a protein shake that wasn't disgusting. This checks all of the boxes! It's not overly chalky and the tiny bit of stevia used is imperceptible to me and I can usually taste it. It's a whopping 30g of protein and has a lot of other ingredients that bump up fiber with no stomach upset. I love to make mine with ice and water where the consistency is like a Wendy's frosty - so good.

I mix this with Fair Life (lactose free) chocolate milk and it is good. I tried it with water but that didn't work for me. I like the taste better with milk. It would probably be good with oat milk or almond milk, too. I drink one shake a day for lunch as a meal replacement. I recommend to anyone looking for a good meal replacement shake that will keep you satisfied for several hours. Update: After using this as a meal replacement and following a gluten free diet, I have lost weight and my labs at the doctor's office have improved. My bad cholesterol is lower and for the first time ever, my good cholesterol has improved. My inflammation is down and I've had fewer "pain days." I plan to continue this daily routine into 2025 and hope to lose even more weight. Editing to add that while I love the chocolate flavor, I recently tried the berry flavor and did not like it at all. It has a terrible after taste that I don’t notice with the chocolate. I will stay with the chocolate flavor.

Happy Viking is my favorite protein powder that I've tried. It delivers 30 grams of protein a serving, plus a wonderful lineup of additional nutrients included that are all plant based and improved eco-friendly packaging -- all things I appreciate and look for. Equally important though, it actually tastes good! Unlike many other protein powders it has no bad aftertaste and is just as good blended up only with water and ice as it is mixed with other ingredients like milk and fruits for a smoothie or used in protein balls or baking. Chocolate is my current favorite flavor, but I also like vanilla for mixing into other things if I want a more neutral flavor involved, and I'm hoping they bring back the cookies and cream flavor soon as that is my actual #1 (the variety pack is a good way to try multiple flavors at once too). The only reason I am giving this product 4 out of 5 stars is the price. While ultimately still worth it to me for the great taste and what it provides, I really wish it was more affordable as I do tend to go through it pretty fast with how frequently I use it these days. But that's the only thing that will cause me to continue to try other protein powders. Because this one is tops!

This stuff is amazing for me! Fills me up and actually holds me for longer than 4 hours. Doesn’t taste like a lot of vegan protein powders. Mixes up very smooth and flavors are great!

Tastes great - very chocolatey. Expensive, so I'm only using half-scoops in my daily shakes - added to multiple frozen fruits and veggies of my own. Update 2-18-2025 I reordered another one. I use about a half-scoop along with a half-scoop of Hershey's Dark Cocoa to make my chocolate fruit smoothie milkshakes. This Happy Viking is a fine powder with very little sugar and that allows it to make my shakes more on the creamy side rather than icy - even though I'm using frozen fruit. Makes good milkshakes, even with frozen fruit. Update 5-3-2025 Just received my 3rd jar of Happy Viking Triple Chocolate and am still very satisfied with this. This one arrived in perfect condition (as did the previous 2 jars). No broken seals, jars and no powder spillage. Will definitely reorder again.

I’m so bummed that this isn’t returnable. I bought the chocolate flavor and it’s sincerely awful. Also, the package doesn’t reseal at all so I have to try to transfer it to an empty plastic tub from another protein powder Making a mess. I appreciate them trying to make something more environmentally conscious but, I spent a good five minutes, trying to line it up correctly and push it together for it to reseal and, it just wouldn’t. This is such a waste of money. I even put a banana in it and it still tastes like a mouthful of chemicals.

UPDATE: I wanted to keep drinking this SO badly but when I actually took a look at the nutrition label out of the blue, I noticed that the amount of saturated fat is 30% of what we’re could have in a day. And for those with high cholesterol issues like me, this is not ideal in the slightest because my daily amount of saturated fat will be less than “normal” people. So this is probably upwards of 50% of what I could consume each day. What a shame :-/ ORIGINAL REVIEW: am absolutely obsessed with this protein shake. The taste is delicious, the consistency is smooth, and it’s incredible how nutrient dense it is. I’ve tried several other brands and they’ve all upset my stomach, but not this one! It’s got a good amount of protein, and I feel satisfied after consuming it. Only downside is that it is quite expensive but I will continue to purchase it because it’s been incredibly beneficial in my health journey!

I love this protein shake, you get your protein, greens, fiber and it tastes good. I mix it in a blender with non-fat milk and a little instant coffee. It mixes well, works great as a meal replacement and isn’t really overpriced, imho.

It tastes incredibly delicious and dissolves effortlessly, with tons of superfoods and nutrients on top of the protein. I have tried at least three other chocolate protein powders, and Happy Viking is by far the tastiest and the one with the most nutrients. I hope that the seller offers it on a subscription option to get a regular discount.
