Bulk Pea Protein Isolate Powder, 1 kg

I have got to give this five stars because, even though it is not the best tasting protein supplement, it's drinkable and "it does what it says on the tin" (and it's cheap!). I bought this to bump up my protein intake as it is more cost-effective than using more soy protein (though using more soy protein is a perfectly good option). Apparently, if you regularly eat oats, this complements the protein profile to create help a complete protein (oats aren't a great source of protein but some people - like me- eat a lot of them). First thoughts were - this tastes like cold, sour, burnt, pea soup - but I stuck with it and now it tastes like pea consommé. I can live with that!

Good quality product and brilliant value for money. Easy to measure and dissolves easily in a shaker. It has a lot less foam than other brands. Slightly silky texture which some may not appreciate, but doesn't bother me. The powder does have a bit of an unpleasant flavour, as do all pea protein powders. I just swallow holding my breath and don't taste at all. I shake this first and wait for the foam to dissipate, and then add a scoop of AG1, and consume within 30 minutes of waking as per the Slow Carb diet / Four Hour Body. Gives good and reliable energy early in the day.

Works in most shakes etc but can be incorporated into meals in smaller portions ie as a thickner or into a pastry base ,zero texture,pea like taste on its own ,and quality is pretty standard smelt v fresh upon my opening the bag ,good value for money you pay ,

It really doesn't suit my palate. I've found that, despite its mild odour, it has a rather acidic taste to it. To the point that after a few days of it I can't bring myself to drink any more. To make matters worse, it's the messiest powder I've had to deal with, too. It's difficult to mix. It clumps up very easily, leaving half the mass stuck to the inside of the shaker. Not only that, something about it seems to "fizz" so the shaker ends up oozing the mix out seal between the bottle and lid, or causing a rather explosive exit when you pop the lid on the shaker. I've got about 0.9kg of a 1kg bag left, and it's going in the bin. Not as cheap as I thought it was going to be...

I see a lot of negative reviews for this product which are very unfair. Yes, this powder tastes horrible when mixed with just water (or as one reviewer tried, coffee?). Complaining about this is like buying turmeric and complaining that it makes your strawberry milkshake taste weird. It is unflavoured protein that has been extracted from peas, it tastes exactly like it sounds. When you start using it as an ingredient in other things, however, it is much much better. I have found this protein powder to be very well suited to things that other powders are not. For instance, whey protein congeals into disgusting lumps when mixed into any hot liquid, but pea protein does not. I like to mix it into spicy soups, which the savoury pea flavour works very well with. If you want to use it in shakes, you definitely need to add sweetness (unless you want a savoury shake?). My current protein shake recipe is to blend a scoop of this powder with milk, frozen berries, an egg and a pinch of sucralose (bulk powders sells this too). I actually prefer this to the version made with whey protein (unflavoured). I've not tried it with almond milk or vegan alternatives to milk, but it will probably work too. Adding a banana will make the shake thicker and creamier too. I will continue to buy this powder, and also will continue to buy whey protein, and as a rule of thumb, use the whey in sweet recipes and the pea stuff for anything savoury. If you want something that you can just mix into water and shake, don't get this, get one of the flavoured powders.

I really can not understand the other reviews here complaining about the taste. It does not have a strong distinctive taste at all and when added to a banana smoothie, as I take it, I can't taste it at all. I've used hemp protein in the past and that stuff tastes like ground up dirt with a similar consistency. What I will say is this does make very thick shakes so be warned you may have to use a little more liquid than normal to make it drinkable. Another bonus of pea protein is that it is a rather good addition to baking. I'm gluten intolerant so I'm constantly experimenting with different flours to get better results in my baking. Adding pea protein powder to biscuits, cakes and bread has had some rather excellent results. It is still no substitute for having gluten but my cake game has reached a new level. There are obvious pros and cons with nearly all whey substitutes and this is no different. But it really doesn't taste that bad (not like pea at all if anything I'd say it was rather pleasant) and the price is insanely good for the amount you get, even if you only end up using it in baking you'll get some great results and your monies worth.

Anyone complaining that this taste disgusting has clearly not tried unflavoured Pea protein powder before. This is just what it tastes like! In fact, this is better than the last one I got. And yes, it dissolves very easily into my smoothies. It’s a bit like eating an apple and then complaining because the Apple tasted like an apple. If you haven’t tried P protein powder before, imagine adding half an old book to a milkshake. You do get used to it though and it’s worth it as there’s a huge amount of protein in there.

They must have changed the recipe because I've been fine with unflavoured before but my recent purchase is disgusting.

Adds a strong unpleasant taste to your smoothies and gives me the runs.

Proteine pure senza zucchero aggiunti e quindi molto indicati per chi fa sport e non può assumere zuccheri

c'est un produit brut, sans aucun ajout d'autres produits et c'est bien ! mais cela donne une poudre sans saveur, fade, pas agréable comme ça. pour le consommer avec plaisir c'est simple, voici ma recette, que chacun peut adapter évidemment; il suffit de mettre un peu plus d'eau, 450ml est bien, car il faudra aussi de l'eau pour diluer ce que vous allez ajouter. ajouter ce que vous aimez (qui se dilue dans l'eau froide bien sûr), pour ma part c'est du café en poudre ou de la chicorée ou son équivalent végan; ou bien du chocolat tel que trucquik par ex, ou, pour les plus riches, de la poudre de vanille bio etc; vous le dosez comme vous aimez, avec l'expérience on sait vite combien en mettre il est preferable d'utiliser un shaker c'est juste plus facile, laissez reposer 5 à 10 mn avant de re mélanger et goutez c'est délicieux et au final pas cher ! du coup, après avoir gouté et utilisé de nombreuses marques de poudre protéinées, je suis resté avec celle ci car elle est efficace pure et pas chère.

Das Proteipulver kommt ohne Zusätze aus und das ist das Tolle daran! Man bekommt hier Protein aus Erbsen und mehr nicht. Dies ist sehr gesund und nahrhaft, es versorgt den Körper optimal mit Protein. Geschmacklich ist es nicht besonders lecker, es schmeckt leicht nach Erbsen. Allerdings ist mir das egal denn: Muss ned schmecke, muss wirke!! Ich mische es mit Wasser an und trinke es in einem Hieb runter. Das ist optimal für mich, da ich das auch mit den Pulvern mit Geschmack schon so gemacht habe. Für mich ist ein Proteinpulver nichts was mir schmecken muss oder was ich aus Genuss trinke, es dient einfach nur der Proteinversorgung. Für Leute die das genau so sehen, ist das das perfekte Protein Pulver. Zudem ist der Preis wirklich sehr gut und der Körper wird es einem danken.

Parfait. Après avoir testé différente marque, celle ci est la meilleure rapport qualité/prix. Le goût est cependant pas bon du tout, c’est meilleur avec du lait végétal par exemple.
