Pea Protein Powder - Vegan, Plant Based, GLP-1 Friendly, Non-GMO, Unflavored - 1.5 lb

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.

By itself, no! In a fruit smoothie definitely YES! I am allegric to gluten, dairy/whey, and nuts. 26 protein per serving, 20 servings per bag, 130 calories, 0 sugar, 2 grams of fat, blends good, tasteless as long as I add the right amount of liquid, fruit and spinach, no bloating afterwards (so good on my digestion), no allergy issues, each bag comes with a scoop, bag is resealable, the protein powder looks well made - it is not gritty, and the price ($13.49 w/o tax - w/ subscription) This is My Choice!

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.

This pea protein powder has no discernible flavor in smoothies, which is what I bought it for. It easily blends into smoothies as well as pumping up the protein content in pancakes, muffins and other baked goods. I was hesitant to try it, expecting the flavor of peas to negatively impact my food. It has yet to do that. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have no problem with the earthy texture or consistency of the product. However, I contacted the manufacturer regarding reporting of their heavy metals, and they refused to provide an actual report, referring me instead to the product image that lists heavy metals in parts per million. The FDA safety threshold for young kids and sensitive groupsare in parts per billion. I think it’s poor form that they’re unwilling to release actual test results and I think the specifications included here are misleading.

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 prefer pea protein over whey protein. When in dry form, the whey flavors are off and probably artificial. Pea protein is ground much finer than whey, more like flour. So be ready for that, a nice orange scoop is provided. Just had a shaker of this product, and it was good. It tasted like weak milk with a slight pea flavor. I'll add blended berries eventually. Which for me are frozen, so that will cool it down. A good drink for summer, especially when paired with a nutri bullet. Slow carbs in one and 26 grams of protein (per scoop) in the other. This overtime will be a repeat purchase.

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.
