It's Just! - Pea Protein Isolate, 24oz, Unflavored

I read all the reviews and went with this. I was specific on my needs. I wanted to just try if so did not want a larger container for 60 bucks or more and if I gave up on it waste so I went with this cheaper, smaller, good amount of protein version. It really worked out perfect. It will also last me a long time. I needed something fast, easy and mobile with a good amount of protein source for the days I donated plasma. No way was I going to mix it in water or milk or soup. Also I rarely cook. I ended up experimenting and decided on kind of making up my own Peanut Butter Ball drops. So easy. I mixed the powder and the Peanut Butter well together in a bowl dropped by the spoonful on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and froze/refrigerated them. I even made some with drizzled melted chocolate chips on top. One can add cinnamon too. I could eat these before my donor days and also bring them to the center and eat them right after on the ride home. Perfection. Almost 40 grams of protein with the Butter and the powder. Eat two and I am all done. Yes, the stuff is kinda Poofy messy like baby powder. lol when I opened the bag a small poof came out, as another reviewer mentioned. However, it was not real messy as I thought it might be and he mentioned. I think the heads up made me be extra careful though. Hahah! Since it was hard to reseal the bag anyway it was an easy decision to restore in another container. I just dumped it in a plastic Tupperware kind of large bowl container with a lid. If you have a mason jar that would work too. Problem solved. l had no issues at all with the taste. Almost nothing. Must be what you mix it with I suppose. It tastes very light maybe what your mouth might slightly taste like after eating a large plate of peas. I even ended up eating the powder by itself dry on bread when I tried at first making A Peanut Butter sandwich with the stuff and I did not mix it or proportion it well due to me running out of PB. It was chalky but still not even did I get any type of bad taste. Of course it is not meant to be eaten like that. Not sure about the person that said it was the worse thing he ever ate. Weird. Maybe it is really gross in water or milk? I plan on mixing it in my yogurt and maybe cereal too for at home additions after donating.

Some of the reviews scared me about the taste of the unflavored version, but when I tried it it was... fine! It's not good by any means, but I wouldn't call it unpleasant either. Kind of like a very bland, strange nondairy milk. I do use as little water as I can get away with but I don't hate drinking it. It's a nice convenient protein supplement. ETA: After the fact I started trying to mix protein smoothies, but this left a weird taste in them. I switched to their whey powder and it's much better for that.

The good: Good value for the money. The taste is not overpowering to what I add it to. Blends best using a blender or bullet. The not as good: The scoop was far down in the bag and I had to struggle to get it out without making a mess. The powder is so fine that it is trapped in the zip lock grooves and I can't get it to zip. Not too bad of an issue, I just put the whole thing in a ziplock.

Flavor is gross but I knew it would before buying. I add some chocolate syrup and it’s fine. Will buy again.

I have a whey allergy, which makes good protein sources annoyingly difficult to come by. Orgain is the vegetarian gold standard but it’s expensive. This pea protein is likely high quality, it seems legitimate, but just tastes pretty darn bad on its own. Texture is pretty unpalatable as well. I will say though that when mixed with something else (chocolate Orgain, PB2), it’s surprisingly unnoticeable. I’ve used it to make those more expensive products stretch farther

I got this a couple years ago and it is still sitting in my pantry collecting dust. It was the nastiest protein powder I have ever tasted in my life. It hurt my stomach and made me gag just to try and drink it in ANYTHING. I tried blending it in tomato soup, smoothies, drinks, and even oatmeal. Just spend the money and get regular protein powder.

This is my favorite protein powder. It mixes easily and has a mostly neutral flavor. My typical use case is mixing two tablespoons into 1/2 cup of oats, adding 1 cup of soy milk and letting it sit in the fridge overnight. The overnight soak avoids the clumping and improves texture. It was a bit hard to digest at first, but after a week I adapted. It’s nice to know I’m using a vegan product and not something from cows.

I like it because it's very smooth and creamy, easily mixes, taste fine ( weirdly salty) but they won't answer my question whether it contains glyphosate. They sent me their testing results -- no mention of glyphosate ( I already got blood cancer -- doc says probably from glyphosate. If they don't answer me I will have to switch to the grainy organic one. (they won't answer me either)
