Chalky/Gritty

I bought this because it is 3 times the size of the stuff I normally use and it was on sale for the same price. Unfortunately, after shaking it vigorously for several minutes in a shaker bottle (liquid in first, then powder) and letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours, it was still very chalky/gritty, practically choking me. I also tried blending it in the Magic Bullet and it was still chalky (I mixed 1/2 scoop with 1 1/2 cups Almond Milk) I will not buy it again.

Great option for women with PCOS

I have tried many different protein shakes and powders over the years and this is the first that I have actually stuck with. Earlier this year I came across this brand while on a PCOS/Infertility board and the Chocolate version was mentioned several times and praised for it's low net carbs, taste and plant based ingredients that you can read. I quickly ordered a sample and have since purchased 4 2lb canisters and now a smaller 1.2lb to try out a new flavor. Each morning I make a shake with half water, half unsweetened almond milk and it sustains me through the next few hours until lunch or a quick veggie snack. I love that it's easy to take along and in a pinch I can mix with just water if I'm travelling. With water, it loses the creaminess, but it's still much better than a handful of other brands I have tried. Be careful though, in looking at other flavors as the ingredients change and some have more net carbs than others, if you're watching that. I successfully lost 10 lbs the first month I started and then maintained that weight with a not so perfect diet otherwise. Now that I have started cutting back processed foods, bad carbs and sugars, I've found it helps me continue losing fat and fit in my clothes much better than before. I look forward to continuing and stand behind this brand for the great ingredients used. I am a fan of Stevia and love that they chose this instead of sugar alcohols, which have adverse affects on women with PCOS, IR issues or even those adhering to a KETO style diet. Today I discovered there is a Peppermint Hot Cocoa flavor as well as an Almond Milk made by Orgain and ordered both. I will review again once they arrive to share my thoughts. I have recommended Orgain to a handful of people and so far two others have tried them out as well. I say, buy a couple of samples in different flavors if you want to give it a go and decide which one is best for you. I personally love the chocolate one, but cannot stand the vanilla.

Best Vegan Protein Powder!!!

I have spent a very long time looking for a good protein and I always "want" to love them but I never do. I have tried tons of the Vega brands and I couldn't get them down. I can't have lactose and I am trying to lower my sugar intake so this product rocks. I want to try the peppermint one as well. I blend this powder with frozen bananas, almond milk and a little cake flavor and it taste like chocolate cake. Not a fan of the one with greens but this one is a must have. Thank you for making such a wonderful vegan protein powder.

Changed formula 🤢

I've used this product for years BUT recently they changed the formula. Product used to be nice and creamy like a milkshake. Now, it tastes watery and has an awful after taste that lingers a long time. I won't purchase again! In fact, I'm going to see if I can get a refund.

The BEST protein on the market!

I LOOOVEEE this protein! It taste great, affordable and it also does not contain live cultures in it. I was recently diagnosed with SIBO and my doctor told me to stay away from things that have probiotics and live cultures in it because I have bacteria overgrowth in my intestines. It seems like every vegan protein contains live cultures now. I decided to switch my old protein to this brand and I am satisfied. Please do not add probiotics in it so that i can continue to purchase it.

THE BEST TASTING & MOST NUTRITIOUS OUT THERE!

I absolutely love these plant-based protein powders and BTW, both my teens them too! We are now all 3 drinking your shakes daily!!! My 17 year old needed to with varsity soccer coming up! I'm so glad you all don't use maltodextrin! It makes me so sick! Also, cows whey doesn't agree w my tummy! So thankful my boys & I found your company! We have tried every flavor and love them all. I also mix them sometimes.

Cancer survivor but harmful ingreditents?? LOL

I find it comical that the founder put he's a cancer survivor while putting harmful ingredients, along with additives in his product. Don't be fooled people!! Taste like chemicals, sweetened with erythritol which is linked to increase risk of stroke, heart attack and blood clots. Also can trigger platelet dysfunction. Try Vega Protein for cleaner ingredients.

Good protein powder, but not great

Took a little while to get used to the taste, but not too long. The flavor was OK, but there's defintely a graininess and gritiness to the mix, at least when blended with water. I mixed at the correct ratio of powder to water, and mixed it vigorously in a shaker, and the grit remains. Not terrible, but not the best either. I even added additional water to the blend which helped a little, but I don't think the gritiness will go away no matter how much water you add.

not good…

I purchased the vanilla and chocolate flavor. I tried the vanilla one first and it tasted super grainy I chugged the first cup and thought, that’s weird the reviews said it was smooth and very good in flavor. I then tried the chocolate one and the same thing, has a super grainy consistency.also, there is a pretty strong after taste of the flavor in my mouth. I like my protein shakes smooth and tasty so I will see if I can return them and get my go to protein I normally purchase at Sam’s.

super delicious, smooth, and no bloating

I love it. It tastes good, not too sweet, not chalky at all. I usually have trouble with whey protein shakes causing me bloating - possibly because of some lactose intolerance, but this doesn't cause any bloating at all! I will definitely buy it again.
