“The last three packages I bought of Lightlife Smart Ground Original had a smokey aroma and a smokey taste, which was positively awful in the lasagna I made with it. I’m afraid I will have to stop using the product if this is the new version.” –Barbara

    I am very disappointed in the reformulated Lightlife Smart Ground Original. I’ve enjoyed this product for years, but new version tastes like artificial smoke. It’s awful, and there’s little if any other flavor, just the flavor of smoke. Unfortunately, I won’t be buying the product anymore. The new version also has slightly less protein and less fiber than the older version (though less sodium too, which would be a good thing if the flavor was tolerable).
