The taste is OK but the texture is a bit grainy? Anyone have suggestions for fixing that?

I added yogurt and fruit to mine to help with the grainy texture. It did help. But after awhile, I just couldn't take the "bits of dirt" (grains) left in the bottom of my cup, so I stopped using it. Pure Protein brand is pretty good, with much less grit.

Are you blending it or using a shaker? When I blend it, I don't find it grainy at all. Even if it were grainy, I still think it's a great product with high protein and low sugars.

Yay! I hope you like it as much as I do. Plan on getting used to it for a few days. Add things like banana and peanut butter, or blueberries, at first so that you get used to the flavor. Enjoy!

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

It's an acquired taste sort of like wheatgrass. Try adding honey or raw Stevie it'll sweeten it somewhat but I've learned that the pros outweighs the taste. Because of the numerous bodily benefits after a while I just got use to the taste. Or try mixing non concentrated raw Apple juice...not so bad. Your body will thank you for it ����

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

I have found that cleaning it with warm water after use right after use and only washing it occasionally with soap and water gets the best results. Make sure you lift up the part in the middle as kernals and popped corn likes to get stuck under there and can really effect the taste of future batches if you miss them. Good luck.

You know, I kind of just wing it. I add just a little bit of water to reconstitute the soy beans, but I've never accomplished the real texture. It tastes really good to me, better than the real one, but only because it is saltier. Asian Food Grocer in San Francisco, CA actually carries frozen natto. I bought 2 types and one came with 4 units with 4 natto plates and 4 units with 3 plates. They were under 15 dollars each if you're interested in authentic natto. It was super slimy. Just beware of the cost for mandatory overnight shipping.

I didn't have this problem. I bought it to see if it was as good as Wen. It's not as moisturizing, but not grainy.

I used it as is, but didn't like the taste as much as other grains. I prefer rice or quinoa, but the teff was okay.

I have noticed that too, but I'm quite sure it's because it has had time to settle, and the heavier part of the almond butter with the small pieces of nut go to the bottom. Once you stir it up and the tiny pieces get incorporated well into the rest of it, it looks perfectly normal and tastes fine.

Slightly gritty texture, but it melts in your mouth so fast it's hard to detect!

I don't notice the taste that much, but I'm pretty good about stomaching health food. I currently put it my shakes. I put one scoop of Garden of Life powder, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, a handful of frozen berries, and pina colada flavored fish oil. It still tastes healthy and green, but it's pretty good.

I drink it mixed in with smoothies so there isn't a strong taste. There's a slight flavor (slightly earthy or nutty) but it's not very noticeable mixed with other stuff.

It tastes like dirt. I don't understand why people say it's taste delicious/good. It's goopy and gritty BUT it does the job and that's all the matters to me. If you want fiber that tastes good or is flavorless there are other options out there but they don't have the added omegas or probiotics that this product does. I found the best way to mask the texture and flavor of this is to add to a smoothie with almond milk. My fav is... chocolate almond milk, frozen cherries, banana and superseed.

Mine was smooth. Honey tends to crystalize over time. If you want it creamier, just warm it up in warm water (set container of honey in a pan with quite warm water) and it will return to a smooth texture. I hope this helps. Dennis

Maybe use unsalted butter. Most of us like the salty taste and that is why we make them. Good luck.

I buy this one sometimes because it's cheap. But I agree with you, there's no covering up the gross taste! I just mix it with juice & take it like a shot. Have you considered trying their tablets instead? It might help. Also, it's a bit of a splurge, but I think Navitas Naturals wheat grass tastes a LOT better & you can get the morning wake up with much less.
