Now Foods Sports Nutrition Pea Protein 24 Grams Fast Absorbing Unflavored Plant Based Powder 2 Pounds

Best i could find for the price and calories for someone avoiding dairy and soy. Tastes pretty terrible but thats to be expected. It's pretty unbelievable how many one star reviews are complaining about the taste. What do you expect when you buy the cheapest PEA protein you can find on Dropy. The only ingredient is peas. There are literally hundreds of reviews complaining it tastes like peas. OF COURSE IT TASTES LIKE PEAS. Do these people just think because it's labelled unflavored it will have no flavor at all?? It obviously means no ADDED flavor. This is a perfect product, these people just don't like pea protein.

This is my absolute favorite protein. I have been using this product for a while now, approaching about a year and half now. I have purchased through Dropy 5 times now, finally graduating to the 7 lb bucket. I can't get enough of this protein. I'm one of those weird people where I'm super sensitive to other protein powders. I hate the funky aftertaste that it leaves in your mouth.. I'm not sure where it's from or what causes it, maybe it's the artificial sweeteners? Either way, I think most protein powders that my husband introduces me to taste like medicine and are really difficult for me to keep down. In addition, they make me bloat and it is so painful. This is the first protein powder that doesn't do this. The second one I discovered was hemp protein, but this is my favorite one by far because it does not alter the taste. It has NO taste. Therefore, you can virtually mix it into ANYTHING, adding protein to keep you full longer. It's really wonderful pea protein.I started using this because I read this as a suggestion (in combination with Amazing Grass Green Superfood) instead of blowing my money on Beach Body's Shakeology. So far, I am very satisfied with this decision!For those who are concerned with the texture, the best way to describe it with a reference for you to compare it to (before committing to this purchase) is to the texture you get from drinking a Naked Juice: Protein Zone Mango. When I first tried this juice, it kind of bothered me there was this "chalky texture," (note--NOT the same flavor/aftertaste of this juice, just TEXTURE). After a while it kind of grows on you! I swear... now there's no other protein I'd rather have.As I mentioned before, it keeps me feeling full with absolutely no bloating, after taste, etc. I add this into my smoothies when I don't have time to sit down for breakfast, other times I add it into my oatmeal. Whatever you add it to, add extra liquid because it definitely thickens things. Don't eat it plan without oatmeal though... I wasn't a fan of that... Definitely sweeten/flavor your oatmeal. You also shouldn't drink it with just water. This protein really is like the previous reviewer said,--use it like a blank slate.If you just bought this and want to try one of my favorite, simple recipes, here you go:1 c frozen strawberrieshalf a frozen banana1 scoop protein powderapple juiceiceI use a vitamix and fill 2/3 the way with apple juice. Obviously you can add more/less to your likings.This review was long overdue, and I've been giving it so much thought for so long. I depend on reviews before I purchase a new item, and I hope my experience will help you too. :) [...] Thank you!

Nice product but price high

For people who are looking for Soy Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free protein powder, this is an excellent option.Personally, I tried some Whey Protein powders available in India, but didn't get used to any of it, mainly because I'm kinda allergic to Soy(lecithin).This is an excellent alternative protein powder.I got to know about this Protein Powder(Source, not the brand) after reading an article on Novak Djokovic, where I've read he prefers Pea Protein over other sources.This protein powder works for me and I'll continue to order it in the future.NOTE: This powder is tasteless(as it's flavorless), and it took some time for me to get used to it. If you're too flavor oriented, maybe this is not the best Pea Protein for you.

I'll start off this review with a startling and unbelievable statement-I'm a bodybuilding Vegan. It's been almost ten years since I climbed over the piles of rotting meat and dairy products, and I haven't looked back since my blood pressure dropped to 115/75 and cholesterol level plummeted seventy points to 150. Triglycerides? A double-digit number. Not bad for a 60 year-old who eats tofu and vegetables, benches 225, squats a ridiculous 500lbs. and doesn't indulge in dangerous experiments with needles.Was it easy to make this transformation? No. The food choices available from the start were limited, at least until I did the research. NOW Foods Sports Nutrition has not only made this transition easier with a few mouse clicks, it's given other Vegans what they need, inexpensive quality protein and carbohydrates. This product, Pea Protein, is what it says, an easily-digested protein from peas, and I'll use anywhere from 50-100g a day, depending on my routine. It works fantastic. Not bad for one ingredient.You may have noticed I mentioned NOW also makes a carbohydrate supplement. It's called Carbo Gain. But why mention it here? As many have seen, there are way, waaaay too many one-star reviews for this protein product mixing bad and tasting like chalk. I believe one person declared in dramatic fashion "IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD. So, so, so bad" and concluded it's mixability was "0/10".It's described as unflavored. It's not going to knock you off your feet like a great-tasting Vegan pizza. Any protein powder with no other ingredients is going to taste like chalk. What they need is a little help. One day-in-a-hurry-to-get-to-work act of desperation-I tossed ½ cup of this pea protein into a 48oz. container half-full of distilled water along with ½ cup of Carbo Gain. To my surprise-once covered-it mixed completely with some energetic shaking and-Wow!-the chalky taste disappeared. Not bad for a complete bodybuilding shake. I've also tried this with filtered tap water, and it still mixed without problems-I believe distilled makes it smoother and taste better, but it's not necessary.Try this recipe with some creatine powder tossed in and it will still mix without problems. You can't beat it for the overall cost, convenience and the 500lb squats you'll get out of it. Ok, you'll have to work on the last part yourself.Have fun!
