NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Pea Protein 25 g With BCAAs, Easily Digested, Vanilla Toffee Powder, 2-Pound

I am no longer able to drink whey protein powder as it does not agree with me. I have tried several different brands of Pea Protein and I find the taste to be absolutely disgusting! I was about to give up on Pea Protein but I thought I would give one last try. Wow! I can’t believe how impressed I am by this NOW Brand vanilla Pea Protein. It doesn’t taste quite as good as whey protein vanilla, but it’s pretty darn close. I actually really like the taste. I frequently mix one scoop with half a banana and a small handful of berries. I have also started to use this mix to make homemade popsicles and I eat them when I am craving ice cream. This is a great product. I suggest you try it out!

For as much as someone can "like" a protein supplement drink that is not disguised with strong chocolate flavor, this one works. I have eliminated soy from my diet (too much GMO), and pea protein seems to be one of the cleanest sources of replacement. I have only tried mixing it with water, and it settles pretty quickly to the bottom of the water, so I tend to minimize the water and slug it down. My roommate puts it into a smoothie with kale and other greens and had told me it does stick to the greens rather than sift to a thicker layer at the bottom.Be careful when opening the container and grabbing the measuring spoon provided. It is a very fine powder and will float or even puff out of the container with a strong movement or breath!The plain flavor is good - truly plain. Since I struggle with protein powder I got the Vanilla Toffee to help me consume it and the flavor is mild, but helps do the trick.

If you're a non-meat eater and looking for a protein, I recommend this product. I love it. It gives me my daily protein in a vegetarian form. I like the taste, although my daughter says it taste powdery, maybe my taste buds have adapted to the taste, but I enjoy it. I buy the vanilla toffee, and use almond milk and add frozen fruit which adds more flavor and substance. The chocolate is pretty good as well, but I don't care for the plain.

I waited for a few days before leaving a review because it certainly wasn't what I expected. I have used Whey protein products for a while and have tried Soy as well. After a bit of research and all the positive reviews about Pea protein, I decided to take the leap. I bought the Vanilla Toffee, Unflavored and Dutch Chocolate. I've only used the Vanilla Toffee so far.My first experience was anything but pleasurable. I blended it with Almond Milk, mixed berries and spinach. It was Way too thick and chalky. The taste was awful, but I managed to choke it down. Tried another smoothy with Almond Milk, Mixed Berries, Pudding Mix and Spinach, blended in a blender I added water to get the consistence I was looking for. Taste was much better.I noticed many comments talked about the comment re: do not use for weight reduction. I compared the scoop to the scoop in a different weight reduction powder. The scoop in the weight reduction powder is smaller and will deliver about 1/2 the amount of protein and calories. I made another smoothie today and used the smaller scoop. It was much better. So my suggestion to those of you who wish to use this as a weight management tool is to use 1/2 a scoop of powder.

Truly the worst protein powder I’ve ever tried. It’s so grainy and artificial tasting. It also leaves this lasting bitter taste in your mouth?? The scoop thing is awful too lol. But the flavor is so bad and so strong. I tried really hard to mask it in smoothies and such because I really try to use the things I buy until they’re gone even if I don’t like them, but it was this protein powder is unmaskable. Like you still have this really grainy texture and it has this lasting taste that really makes it awful to consume. I would not recommend this product at all.

I tried this product to see if I was tolerant of the Pea protein powder by itself. I seem to be disgusting it well, with little issue. However, the powder doesn't seem to mix easily. It tends to lump up and remain gritty, no matter what medium I choose to mix it with, though HOt liquid will help.The taste is not bad, but does have a slight aftertaste, similar to a fake sweetener.It is okay by itself, but not so much with other things.I have not tried it with any fruit, thickener, or dairy product, only nut and oats milks.It could be very, if it was.
