Happy Viking reviews and discussion

I really love Happy Viking vanilla, berry parfait, and strawberry. I find that it is a really nice flavor and isn't overly chalky. The chocolate flavor is another story for me - it has almost a licorice under-flavor that I can't untaste. Overall, I find the products to be tasty but expensive.

I really like the flavors and nutrient profile of the protein powders, but they recently changed their packaging and that took their rating from 5 stars to 2, maybe even 1. They replaced traditional tubs with bags that do not seal properly. Bags have arrived open due to the poor design of the new packaging. Even if you get a bag that is sealed the bags will slowly reopen themselves in the pantry. They really need to either switch back to normal tubs or get a better packaging. Once they fix the packaging I think they will be back to 5 stars.

***2025/26 Update*** Seems like the brand is going down hill so I have to remove a star...new flavors that were created now don't exist anymore! The tropical was my go-to... NOW IT ALONG WITH GREENA COLADA IS GONE...they've changed the packaging to bags and a new recipe without erythritol which never really bothered me but I prefer canisters to bags when transporting to the gym... they've also stopped selling in store at Kroger which was nice when I needed an emergency re-up. Give us more unique flavors! (And some of the others back!) Seems like i'll have to find a new brand to purchase (again) soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s been a long journey! I wished I found this when I first went plant-based! My favorite protein powder was Nutrition 53’s Lean1 (Smoothie King has this). But sadly, they’ve downsized their products and no longer sell the tropical version. Moving on I also started a plant-based diet so it no longer fit in with my diet habits so I ended up trying 310 Nutrition’s Vegan version…NOPE. Then I went back to Lean1 to try their vegan version…NOPE. Both were chalky and earthy tasting. Long story short, now that I am doing keto/low carb I was looking for something to enhance my smoothies. I had seen ads for this through Blendjet but never paid any attention since I was doing keto and swore off vegan powders until I saw that it was 2 net carbs & Paceline had a deal for $30 bucks off. I’m so glad I decided to purchase it on a whim! This stuff tastes fantastic! There’s still some chalky-ness there but the great taste helps you overlook that! The strawberry tastes like actual strawberry, not that weird bubblegum taste that some powders have and it took away that awful cinnamon taste in Blendtopia's Berry Blend that I couldn't stand. The Greeña Colada actually mimics the taste of the Tropical Lean1 I missed so much so that's a win for me! I love it and will buy it forever!!

I purchased the greeña colada. The shake was delicious, not gritty and no weird aftertaste. I blended 16 fl.oz. of water with 2 full scoops.
