mix this with unsweetened cocoa powder from Hershey’s, as well as packets of Wisdom Stevia. This way I make my own chocolate flavor. What’s the point of doing it yourself? Well, I’ll tell you. Most chocolate flavored proteins are artificially flavored and full of chemicals. This is how big companies usually flavor products cheaply and with great taste. By doing it yourself, you can control what goes into your product. Plus, it’s cheaper too. Healthier and cheaper = SUPER! I’ve been doing this for about 1 year and it works great for me! I have this shake every morning!

I’ve been looking everywhere for a whey free pure protein!! I was a little nervous that the pea protein tasted too much like pea soup!! BUT it was not. There was a pea flavor but with the additions for your favorite smoothie it hides it well. The powder is very fine and mixes very well. Not chunky or grainy. I mixed my powder with cocoa powder, almond milk, DF and GF eggnog, and sugar. I think next time I will cut the cocoa powder. It was a great snack!!! Highly recommend this product.

bought this small package for a trial. my stomach is very sensitive to soy and milk, this is my 1st time trying the pea protein ingredient and I really like it! it tastes earthy, it absorbs very quickly without feeling heavy, post-workout or just to maintain a healthy plant-based diet and lifestyle.

All in all a good protein supplement to add to my diet. Seems to be of good quality and it doesn’t cause me intestinal issues (whey protein sometimes does). Unflavored, so it will usually taste the same as what you mix it with. The only complaint I have is that it might be too chalky (shape lumps).

It was a great price with my extra discount. I use it to get the added benefit of protein in smoothies, eggs, and baked goods. I love that the ingredients are plant-based. I’m on a special diet and this is one of the types of protein I can get.

High quality vegetable protein with good ingredients and a practical packaging with a handy scoop. Like the nutrition and the vitamins and the fact that it’s pea protein. Doesn’t taste bad, although I like to add it to smoothies with berry or chocolate flavorings for a low carb diet.

Great price on pea protein from a reputable GMP certified company. I don’t like the taste of unflavored, so mix it with 2 packets of stevia and cocoa powder. Taste much better. Just a little difficult to mix. I love that this product provides 24 grams of protein without the sugars. I drink after my workout, while lifting weights, or even as a mid-afternoon appetite suppressant.

I love this pea protein, it dissolves very well in any smoothie or shake, doesn’t taste bad, doesn’t taste it in smoothies. It contains non-GMO yellow pea protein, which is great for low carb, paleo, and AIP diets. strongly recommend using it instead of animal protein for breakfast for example.

I found myself gaining quite a bit of weight because of it, so if that’s your goal, then yes, that would be fine. there’s no taste to it, which makes it great for mixing with other items! for me, I usually mix it with plant milk and green tea powder as a breakfast drink. note that the scoop is a bit buried inside, so you have to dig a little!
