"Extremely high in fiber"
October 9, 2020 @ 11:42
Going into this I read up on the nutritional profile on Bivo and was quite impressed. The macro ratios are very healthy and they use no preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Even so, they use maltodextrin which has been proven to have even higher GI than refined sugar, and because it is essentially void of any nutrients the difference is negligible. My gut flora is no stranger to fiber. I regularly supplement my Plenny Shakes with fiber to firm up my stools and I clock in at around 40-45g a day. Bivo Oatmeal however has 20g of fiber per serving, which makes for about 104g of fiber every day. I noticed this too late after I’d gulped down four servings of Bivo Oatmeal. My GI tract really didn’t like that. Suffice to say it’s been thoroughly cleansed, and 24 hours later I still have to sporadically run to the toilet. I believe there is such a thing as too much fiber, and that it’s unhealthy in the long run. Bivo also follows the outdated GDA label which has much lower amounts than the DRI. Just put 5 servings of Bivo in Cronometer and you can see how many nutrients are lacking. 91% B1, 16% B3, 50% Folate, 88% Vitamin C, 33% Vitamin D, 79% Vitamin E, 62% Vitamin K, 80% Calcium, 84% Iron (vegans need 2x the amount of iron), 86% Manganese, 52% Potassium, 40% Sodium (based on 200mg a day), and 60% Zinc (based on 16mg a day). There is also no mention of Omega-3 and 6, which is quite strange. Add to this they also use coconut fat which has bad saturated fats I would not recommend this product for health reasons.

"Best nutritional balance by far"
August 28, 2020 @ 15:37
BIVO has the best balance by far, in my opinion. It follows the Mediterranean diet, which has a little less Fats and Proteins than average complete foods, but is richer in Carbs and Fibers. Fibers are so important and so underestimated in other compl. meals!
Texture is not so smooth (you probably feel the fibers in your mouth).
Flavour unfortunately is not very good. I mean, it is not bad neither: you could say it is very neutral. Does not really have a taste, but this is better than strong artificial flavours.
Anyway, i buy it because it has the healthiest mix, not for its taste.
