Do you see variations in batches or are they tested from time to time? The powder I received today has very little smell and no flavor hot or cold. Tried it in hot chai tea, on fresh fruit, and in plain yogurt. Only way I knew I added it was the brown...

Alicia, This is a natural minimally processed food so there will be some variation from batch to batch and each batch is tested. Please feel free to contact us at service@terrasoul.com with your Amazon order ID so we can offer you a refund if you received a bag that doesn't meet your needs. Best Regards, Terrasoul Superfoods

All of the bottles I have had have been a very dark brown-orange color. Because I didn't care for the consistency of the liquid just in water, I have always put it in juice so I can't really say if the taste is bitter or if one bottle has tasted different from another bottle. You raise a good question though. Perhaps it would be best to reach out to the manufacturer to determine what color the product should be when it is freshest.

I read that the company changed suppliers. All I know is the last three bottles was in no way the same taste and potency. You couldn't buy the 1 lbs jar until now. It has been months since you could buy anything larger than 1 once. I switched to Kal. It still has the potency but NuNatural had better taste, not anymore.....

I haven't noticed a change. After trying all of the Wellness flavors, this is the only one she finishes. Thanks for bringing up the question though, it reminds me to both check expiration dates and be aware of changes!

I don't know why, unless some received a bad batch. Mine smells wonderful and melts very nicely. I use it to make deodorant and lip balm.

I did not detect an odor while I used it. You may have some issues with that particular batch. Probably best to contact the supplier.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

Please tell me how. I just bought one and have been trying Trader's Joe Almond Breeze original (unsweetened) three times and no luck. I bought it because I read here that it does. Any hints? Thanks

i didn't realize they changed their formula. i did notice a slight flavor change in the mocha flavor. if it's back to the original. i'd give it another chance. the vanilla is my favorite. as to i similar product, i've not come across one, but the organic natural grocery stores might have something. jw

Try it with orange juice. It will taste just like the juice. If you put the powder in a shaker with about 8 oz. of juice and shake well, it won't be gritty either. I've been staying healthy with All One for about thirty years now. I wouldn't miss a day without it!

I don't notice much taste with this one. I put it in my oatmeal along with DMAE and C-ester and I don't taste any of them. I take another dose mixed into V8 juice (the organic version) and it dissolves easily with no taste.

Your iced tea will not taste the same but not necessarily bad. I mixed it with vanilla casein and there was a noticeable difference between that and my vanilla whey/casein mixture. I now only purchase vanilla in each type to mix. I have also used it in my yogurt and the same answer applies: noticeable but not necessarily bad.

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now!Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps!V.

No, i have not. I ordered the smallest size package available just to test it out since it was something new to me that i'd put in my body. I've been taking it at least 4 months and i've noticed no change. I dont if its because im taking such a small amout or if its because i dont take it alone(i put it in smoothies) ), or because it simply does not work. I believe this is the type of product you'll have to try yourself to see. It could work dofferently for you.

It tends to clump a little when it gets wet - so mix well. I put the unflavored in muffins mixes, cake mixes, cookies, brownies. No one has any idea! It doesnt alter the taste.Stay healthy everyone! :)

I just tasted mine. It does have a slightly bitter flavor straight from the bottle. As Jan has stated, such is the case with any extract. This product makes the most luxuriously flavored butter creams and fillings imaginable. Use slightly less than recommended for unbaked items than you would for cookies and cakes.

That's a strange question. It would be different for every batch. I love the stuff, and love the smell.
