"Bad flavour"

Really bad taste, pretty much undrinkable. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to add algae powder into the mix which makes it smell and taste fishy, but then it also has nuts and oats together with agave and all these things really don’t go together. It’s sour, nutty, salty, oaty, fishy all at once.

"A quirky option when you want something different"
^{December 8, 2020 @ 08:13}

This is somewhat a quirky option, with its funny texture and nutty taste. I eat it when I feel like going for a change, I consider it quite different from most other complete food powders. It is easy to prepare although I use less water than the recommended dose to make it more creamy. I have trouble distinguishing the four different flavours: that nutty base overshadows whatever they add to make it taste different in my view. The biggest downside for me is the nutritional content: there is too much sugar and very little fibre and protein, while it has its fair share of fat. I’m happy that all the ingredients are bio but I’m not sure how healthy it is overall with that macro nutrients (im?)balance.

"Muted flavours, great nutrition"

This mixed thinner than other brands I’ve had but the texture of the drink really makes it stands out nicely. There are nutty bites in the shake that never dissolve and it makes for a really pleasant drink.

Flavours are a little muted, the powder smells amazing but the mixed drinks are much more subtle. Still tastes nice, but it could be stronger and mixing in some blueberries made it awesome.

"Unique texture"

Disclaimer: I tried the Green-Bottle variant of the product, which is the exact same powder except it comes pre-measured in bottles for ease of consumption.

What makes Bertrand really stand out from the other -lents is its texture: instead of aiming to be as smooth as possible, it kinda does the opposite. The texture is rough – it’s still liquid, but it has small bits of nuts that you can chew on – and it’s a pleasant experience.

The flavor however doesn’t match up with the texture. I got myself the mixer pack and tasted all the flavors, and only the initial flavor differs slightly. After the first or second chug they almost taste all the same, and there’s nothing extraordinary there.

I’m giving 11 points to ease of mixing as it comes pre-measured in bottles, and I only need to add water and mix it; it’s very nice.

"Great texture"

Really interesting product. Much more nutty than similar products, but not over powering and the nutrition is totally on point for what I’m looking for. Also love that it’s from whole foods and quite like the texture, something that’s missing from a lot of other ‘lents but adds a really nice dimension to bertrand.

Flavours, I tend to stick to natural and vanilla, love both of them.
