Angel Specialty Products, Blended Smoothie, Frappe Powder Mix, Banana [3 LB] [34 Servings]

I am picky when it comes to my boba and taro flavor and this is a good one. It has three recipes on the bag and I like it! I make mine blended (1/2 cup taro scoop, 5 oz water and 14 oz ice then blend)/ I use water instead of milk because I don't like it with milk it tastes different. This has saved me so much money, seriously. I will buy more once I run out, it's a good sweet treat.

This is the taro that every single coffee shop uses and sell you for $8.00, don’t let them scam you and buy this! It will last you a while and use any milk you want with it. Its creamy and so good. Smells delicious as well, so addictive!

Firstly, in the 'nutrition facts' on the package, it states "1 serving = 1/4 cup", but on the 'directions' it states to use '2 scoops' or 1/2 cup (as an aside, I haven't dug through the entire bulk of the package, but as other comments have stated, no scoop is provided). So beware, because if you are counting on those stated Nutritional facts, and use a 1/2 cup measure in your beverage, you'll likely need to DOUBLE what the Nutrition Facts are stating that you're consuming.So unless the '1/4 cup' in the Nutrition Facts are actually a misprint and are truly for a 1/2 cup of mix, all told you'll be getting half of your saturated fat (10g) for the day, in addition to 50g of sugar/66g carbs. That's BEFORE adding your milk or alt milk!Another consideration regarding the disparity between the 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup fiasco is the price point. If I end up getting 34 smoothies out of the bag I'll be one happy camper. That comes to $.74 a serving. Which is great, since I add lots of other real fruit and unsweetened almond milk to my smoothie, making it more expensive, but certainly nowhere near a bubble tea shop's price. If I'm only getting 17 servings, then it's obviously double the price. Of course, I actually would get 33 servings, though, because I followed the 'directions' and used a half cup for my first smoothie...yum, boy was it smooth...haha, and overly sweet! Won't be doing that again. I made my second smoothie with 1/4 cup, and it was perfect. Just a much honeydew flavor, without having to drink a cup of water afterward.Additionally, although this mix does not contain 'milk' per se, it does contain SODIUM CASEINATE, which if you are deathly allergic to milk, as is my son, you know to watch out for casein, which is the main protein in cow's milk. Sodium Caseinate is a derivative of casein. ALSO something to consider if you are truly vegan, as it is an animal product. I'm not, but I saw a lot of questions about whether this powder contains milk, and on first glance at the ingredient list, it doesn't contain some parts of what makes up milk, but it does contain that derivative.Even with all of these items of concern, I know this is not a 'healthful' product. I use it for smoothies, but I consider it a treat/dessert, and I am aware of all of the chemicals. I'm not deluding myself, as the boba shops use the same type of products to make their smoothies. I simply wanted to re-create what they make in a much more economical way, due to the fact that I moved from southern California (with a boba shop on nearly every major intersection) to central Texas (where I now drive 30 minutes before encountering civilization and the nearest boba shop is right next door to an excellent pho restaurant, and they share eight parking spaces, and people park behind your car and you have to wait for them to move so that you can leave...ugh!) not to mention the gas prices right now!All in all, I'm very glad that I'm happy with this powder, because it's not a PRIME offering...phew! Didn't notice that either! I will likely order their Strawberry Cream version, as well. Hoping it's just as good. I dunno, though...I might look for an equally high rated Strawberry powder that is Prime, just in case. We'll see. The honeydew flavor came through plenty strong. To the reviewer who said they ADDED 3/4 of the BAG (!?!) before they tasted honeydew...what the heck? Maybe you had covid.???I also like the fact that it is, in the least, assembled in the U.S.A. It certainly doesn't guarantee that the individual component ingredients aren't sourced elsewhere, but hey, I'm trying!TLDR: Watch the discrepancy between portion size and directions. No scoop included. Not truly vegan (if that's what you're looking for) and not exactly safe if you are milk protein allergic. Great taste all the same. Economically sound investment.

Super good taste and texture. I had low expectations but honestly, it tastes just like the $8 taro milk teas in the stores, but for a much better price! Definitely will be buying again!

TASTE SO GOOD!!! Made it for my sister and she was shocked I didn’t get it from the boba shop LOL. I do recommend blending it for around 30 secs to get the perfect boba texture 😍 Can’t wait to buy again in a different flavor!

I was really hoping this brand would be a high quality Tazo Milk Tea Mix for making Boba Tea with, but compared to the other brand I bought of a more premium Tazo powder (which had tazo towards the top of the ingredient list, compared to this brand which has it more towards the middle, meaning less of it more than likely proportionately).It tastes ok, and most people would be happy with it, but it isn't Taro Root powder alone. It is an odd blend with little blue dots inside of the package within the overall light pink powder. I had to use a lot more of this brand's powder than the other one I bought (I bought two Tazo powders to compare and contrast). This one wasn't homogenous unlike the more premium brand (similar price but for a smaller 2.2 lb bag of Taro Milk Tea Powder)If you are getting into Boba Tea or Milk Teas, I would say this brand is good enough to get into their various flavors as they have many (which is why I was so excited), I might buy their green tea flavor before judging the entire brand based on just their Taro flavor alone.

So this is my second time getting this drink, the first time was at a local cafe and I liked it so much that I peeked around to see how they made it, I saw this the bag with the light blue same as this one. Some searching around and found this and ordered! Just made it on my own and it was the same, maybe a little thicker, and sweeter as I made mine with milk and the cafe probably just used water. It was also a bit too sweet but I have a sensitive sense of taste, but I will add about half of what is instructed.When I opened the bag it smelled of sweet vanilla-y cupcakes. It was very delightful, and the warmth of the scent almost confused me. I felt like was in a bakery.If I were to describe the flavor, I would say it’s like a warm sweet potato topped with a generous amount of maple syrup or honey, with hints of coconut. It’s a bit earthy which helps it not be sugary only. I drank it cold, but the flavor is so warm and welcoming and made me want to get cozy in a blanket.I’ll admit I haven’t tried the real root vegetable so I don’t know how true to taste this is, but it is extremely delicious! I’m going to see what other things I can do with the mix, maybe I can add it in to the mochi waffle recipe I found.I definitely am happy with my purchase, but play around with the proportions of mix to liquid, I definitely prefer it on the lighter side.

Mix was delicious and easy to use. Quickly blends into whatever base you choose. I have used this mix twice for events and it never disappoints.The only thing lacking would be easy instructions for large amounts. Specifically, how many gallons you could get out of the mix. But nothing a little math couldn’t fix.

It is very good and I just use for a cold drink in the afternoon.

This is a delicious product. Absolutely love it and will order it again and again.

I've been craving melon bubble tea lately and this really hit the spot. It works well with water, milk or even soy milk (though I find almond milk overpowers it). It's very easy to mix and very delicious.

Never had the real Horchata to compare to but i like the taste of this very much.

if you love taro as much as i do u need this. so good, so sweet, so delicious!
