Question 1

Has the formula changed recently (spring 2016)?  it tastes super sweet and constency and odor is off.  my family does not like it any more.

Accepted Answer

I am tremendously sad to find that the taste has changed again. After drinking Spirutein nearly every morning for ten years, I had given up on Spirutein after the switch to Stevia. When I heard they had changed the formula back, I started using the product again. My most recent five-pound container (purchased in October) smells like cake batter and tastes like fake sugar. That fake taste lingers, and now everything else I taste (including my water) tastes sweet. I enjoyed this product because it tasted natural. This was my final straw. I have wasted too much money on product that no longer feels healthy.

Question 2

Is it true that Spiru-Tein has switched to stevia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, unfortunately this is absolutely true. It's unfortunate because it has ruined the product. It leaves a nasty aspartame aftertaste that I just can't handle. Returning my 3 cans. This was one of meals everyday since the late 90s. Now I have to figure something else out I guess. I suggested that Natures Plus make a Spirutein Classic. They'll notice that their sales drop immediately from this change and probably change back. I wrote the company directly to inquire about the change.

Question 3

Does this contain any dairy?

Accepted Answer

It does not contain dairy.

Question 4

This doesn't mix well at all, I'm always straining it. What am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

I use a Magic Bullet mini blender and it turns the protein powder and whatever liquid (I use almond milk) into a milkshake-like consistency.  I've done it this way since I started drinking Spiru-Tein (which I love) and have never had a problem with lumps or needed to strain it. Any blender, large or small, would do the trick.  Hope this helps.
