I had to go dairy free after my daughter was born since she seems to have a dairy intolerance. Once I started working out again I needed a way to get more protein in easily. Since I can’t have whey, I tried SO many different dairy free options. I tried Garden of Life, so gross. I tried Vega One and Orgain, also so chalky and gross. I also tried egg white protein powder but even though I am a huge egg lover, I could not get past the smell and texture of it. Finally I tried this powder and I have to say, it is by far the best tasting vegan protein I have tried. It blends really well and tastes pretty good. It’s not as good as some whey powders I’ve had in the past, but hey, there’s only so much you can do to mask the taste of pea protein. The only thing I don’t love about it is that it is a little bit too fake-sweet tasting for me. It’s not a big deal or a deal breaker by any means, but I wish it weren’t so sweet. Sometimes I add an extra table spoon of raw cocoa powder to offset the sweetness. Here’s the recipe I use: 8 oz almond milk, 1/2 c frozen blueberries or cherries and 1/4-1/2 banana and blend. I’ve also mixed it just with almond milk but I like it w the fruit better.
This stuff isn't too bad, especially compared to unflavored pea protein. I find it a lot more palatable than some of the other flavored powders I have tried. I mean, it definitely tastes like protein powder, but I have made some pretty good shakes with it (I have chocolate). I find that the recommended two scoops is kind of strong, so I usually do a scoop of this and a scoop of plain pea protein to level it out. This is a smooth powder, not chunky at all, but I always add a banana too to even out the texture.
Love this protein powder. It was recommended by my Health Coach a couple of years ago and I am hooked! Some proteins leave awful taste or even textures, not this one. If anything it adds to the taste b/c of the vanilla or chocolate flavor (you can choose which one you want). I add blueberries and sometimes bananas and it is wonderful!
I really like this pea protein. I had been using the vanilla flavor for a while, but decided to try chocolate. I really like this both in smoothies, and even just alone mixed with water for a quick, easy on the go protein drink. I don't think it tastes chalky, and I prefer to use non-whey/soy based protein powders. The price I paid on Amazon was less than price I was paying in my local grocery store. I'll be buying this again and again.
I've tried many vegan protein shakes. This one is my favorite. It tastes similar to cake batter, the stevia flavor is so mild it's virtually unnoticeable. The vanilla is definitely better than the chocolate which was a bit chalky to me. And the price is great too! It's very versatile and can be mixed with berries, other fruits or my favorite is with peanut butter powder and a banana.

Description
The Naturade research and development team is proud to introduce Naturade Pea Protein. Pea Protein is a natural plant-based protein that is derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum), also known as "split peas." This product is highly soluble, easy to digest, hypoallergenic - and it tastes great! Naturade Pea Protein is formulated using only the highest quality pea protein isolate available. Its phenomenal amino acid profile includes nine essential amino acids. Since essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body, they must be supplied by our diets.
I love love love this!!! I was taking Shakeology for awhile by Beachbody and it got too expensive. I looked for an alternative and decided to give this a go. I’m not 100% trusting of the products I get from Amazon so I’m really hoping all of the ingredients listed are really in this because it’s so delicious. I’ve replaced my lunch with this (I blend ice, almond milk or oat milk and 2 scoops of this powder) and it holds me over until dinner time. I wish there were a little more calories though. 140 calories does not = a proper meal. Either way, I love it and it’s been a great meal replacement.
This is one of the best tasting pea proteins I've tried! It mixes well and tastes great. I like both the chocolate and the vanilla. Hard to beat for the price. I can't find it in my local stores anymore, so I order online.
This is hands down the best tasting ORGANIC plant based protein I have ever tasted. It mixes well with the other ingredients of my morning shake. I take it straight with just water after some of my workouts and it still tastes great. Highly, highly recommend!
Delicious flavor and blends well into smoothies. Also use it to make overnight oatmeal with coconut milk and it is really yummy. I find that with the overnight oatmeal, I have to do a pretty good job of blending the powder with the liquid as it wants to stick to the sides of the container and leave lumps but a little extra time mixing takes care of that. I love that this is a plant based protein powder!
I have been looking for a pea protein powder which has neither non-heme iron (I just get a headache from that) and calcium. This is the only one I could find. In addition, it tastes great (I wish there was an unflavored version though)!
I hope they never stop making this! P.S. To the sellers: I like the new version which has less sugar and salt. It tastes EVEN BETTER than the previous version!
