Preparing meat or eggs every single day gets tiresome, so you end up looking for something simple. I skip breakfast a lot and often need a quick meal-replacement option when I'm busy, which is how I ended up trying Cleanit Cacao Plant Protein Shake Vegan Cacao. I usually care a lot about taste with protein shakes too — if they're too sweet or chalky I get sick of them fast. But once I actually tried it, it was cleaner and easier to drink than I expected, so I wanted to write up a review haha. ![Cleanit Cacao plant protein shake pouch product](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-01-xhx5w-1200.webp) ![Packaging of Cleanit Vegan Cacao protein shake](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-02-1hw6o-900.webp) ## Cleanit's zip-sealed pouch: how easy is it to store? Cleanit Cacao comes in a zip-sealable pouch, so storage was simple. The clean pouch format was actually one of the things I liked most when I first received it. It doesn't take up much space, so it stood up neatly in a corner of the kitchen, and being able to zip it shut like a resealable bag made storage convenient. Since it's something you use every day, easy storage after use matters more than you'd think, and I found this design genuinely practical. The look is simple with no clutter, giving it a clean feel overall. ![Cleanit protein shake pouch stored standing upright](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-03-8zp3k-900.webp) ![Simple design of the Cleanit Cacao shake package](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-04-ymp8n-m-900.webp) ## Pea and rice protein, no milk ingredients Cleanit is a plant-based protein shake with absolutely no milk ingredients, made instead with pea protein and rice protein. This plant-based aspect was actually one of the biggest reasons I chose this product. I think this would appeal to people who feel uncomfortable after products containing milk ingredients, or anyone specifically looking for plant-based protein. Personally, I've had my stomach feel bloated after protein shakes before, but this time I could drink it fairly comfortably. ![Plant protein powder made with pea and rice protein](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-05-1budf-900.webp) ![Cleanit plant protein shake with no milk ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-06-h7rav-900.webp) ## A mild cacao flavor you won't get tired of As the name suggests, Cleanit Cacao has a cacao flavor, but it's not overly sweet or artificial-tasting — more on the clean, understated side. Honestly, taste really matters with protein shakes haha. No matter how good the nutrition is, if it doesn't taste good it's hard to keep up with it. At first I mixed it with water, and it was clean and easy to drink. Mixed with soy milk, it turned a bit smoother and nuttier. Personally I liked the soy milk combination too. No added sugar or artificial sweeteners also helped take the pressure off. ![Cleanit Cacao protein shake mixed with water](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-07-bvxej-900.webp) ![Clean cacao-flavored shake mixed with soy milk](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-08-xi53g-900.webp) ## Cleanit Vegan Cacao as a breakfast replacement Since the Cleanit plant protein shake mixes easily into water or soy milk, it barely needs any prep time, which I liked. Lately I've had a lot of mornings short on time, so I'd been looking for something simple to eat. Rather than leaving the house on an empty stomach on a busy morning, I thought getting some protein in this simple way wasn't a bad option at all. That said, I think it's better used as a convenient meal or snack depending on the situation, rather than fully replacing a meal. It also worked as a post-workout protein top-up, or a light bite when hungry. ## Plant protein that mixes smoother than expected I'd heard a lot that plant protein products can be hit or miss because of that distinct chalkiness or beany taste. But trying Cleanit Cacao myself, it was smoother and cleaner-tasting than I expected. If you're expecting the sweetness of regular chocolate milk it might feel a bit different, but personally I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, since that made it easier to keep drinking regularly. There's a subtle cacao flavor running through it, so the typical protein taste wasn't too noticeable either. I think it would suit people who generally don't prefer overly sweet protein shakes. ## Who Cleanit Vegan Cacao suits best Based on trying it myself, I think it would suit: - Anyone who wants a simple way to get plant-based protein - Anyone looking for a protein shake with no milk ingredients - Anyone who prefers a clean taste that isn't too sweet - Anyone who needs something for a breakfast substitute or snack - Anyone who wants an easy way to refuel with protein after a workout I especially think this would be handy for busy office workers or anyone currently managing their diet. ![Cleanit Cacao shake prepared as a breakfast substitute](https://img.superchart.com/images/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake/cleanit-cacao-plant-protein-shake-09-ekt75-900.webp) ## Final verdict on Cleanit Vegan Cacao Cleanit Cacao Plant Protein Shake Vegan Cacao was personally satisfying in terms of both taste and convenience haha. - ✔️ Plant-based protein shake with no milk ingredients - ✔️ High-protein product using pea and rice protein - ✔️ Zero added sugar and artificial sweeteners - ✔️ Clean cacao flavor that isn't too sweet - ✔️ Easy to mix into water or soy milk - ✔️ Good as a breakfast substitute or post-workout snack - ✔️ Convenient storage thanks to the pouch format Personally, since the taste wasn't overly sweet, it was actually easier to keep up with regularly.
