NAKED nutrition Vegan Sample Pack Pea, Chocolate Pea, and Vanilla Pea

Five starts automatically just for the product - I LOVE samples. You get a very reasonable amount of powder in each packet. Considering just a jar of this stuff is closer $20, and you get to try all three of their products from this series, I thought the price was quite reasonable. Vanilla flavor was good! Chocolate was quite strange to me and tasted more nutty. I prefer intense chocolate flavors so I don't think that one is for me. Be aware that THIS IS NOT INSTANT SHAKE POWDER. You can use it as a shake, but it's not optimal, and you'll need to add something extra to make it work. I blended the vanilla with vanilla oat milk and thought it was pretty good, but it was pretty gritty. If texture is something you can't get past, you'll need to blend this up in a smoothie or with some kind of nut-based fat. Overall, I think this is a quality product. So many protein powder companies don't have samples of their product, making it difficult to find the powder that's right for you - so if you're on the fence, I'd go ahead and buy it.

I'm glad I ordered this trial packet instead of buying a 5 lb tub of this stuff. I just tried the Chocolate sample packet with just chilled water and it tasted absolutely horrible! It was so bad I didn't even try to drink it all. Even if I mixed it with milk it probably would still be unbearable to drink. I can't imagine how anyone could give this product a good review.

I have a strong preference for plain, unflavored protein powder without any additives, which is why I decided to try this brand. These are the only vegetarian protein powders I've tried. I'm replacing the plain, unflavored whey that I've been using because it seems to be causing me some issues, so I used the Naked Rice and Naked Pea in the same way that I've used the whey, in a cold coffee drink.And, yeah, like other reviews mention, these are grainy. I always mix protein powders with 3 cups of coffee drink, and even with that much liquid, they're still grainy. Both the rice and the pea have a rather strong, not particularly pleasant, flavor, though the coffee drink masked it well enough. And after a couple of days of drinking the samples, I've grown used to the flavor and don't find it unpleasant now. I mixed the Less Naked Vanilla in 10 oz of vanilla cashew milk. I really expected it to be way too grainy in such a small amount of liquid, but surprisingly, it seemed about the same. The flavor was really bland, though. I actually added a splash of sugar-free vanilla syrup to it, and while it wasn't the-best-protein-shake-ever, it was good. I also mixed the Less Naked Chocolate in 10 oz of vanilla cashew milk, and it was even more bland than the Less Naked Vanilla. I added a couple of scoops of sugar-free Nesquick to it, and that made it palatable. In the future, I will probably mix the Naked Rice and Naked Pea in a smaller amount of cashew milk next time while adding my own flavors--since I would have to do that anyway. I will be buying both Naked Pea and Naked Rice. From what I've read, the grainy texture and rather strong flavors are simply the price we pay for vegetarian protein powders, which is what I need. The flavor is not bad enough or strong enough to ruin my coffee drink, but I think cashew milk with flavors may be the way to go with these. As for the graininess, that will prevent me from drinking a protein shake while working out, but otherwise, I'm sure I'll get used to it, too. I think whey is a better option--both in flavor and smooth mixing--for people who don't have problems digesting it and people who don't have ethical issues with animal products. But since I don't seem to be in that group, I'm just glad I found a protein that I can handle. I do feel that this sample pack is WAY overpriced. C'mon, guys. It was worth it to not have to pay $50+ to try each flavor, but I still feel that the sample packs could be more reasonable.

There are limited ingredients, low sugar, high protein, and the texture is alright, but the flavor is awful, and it’s makes it hard to force yourself to finish. I haven’t tried the chocolate yet, but honestly I don’t want to. It may be ok if you mix it with other stuff, but that doesn’t work well with what I am looking for, nor does it make for quick or travel friendly. It is cheaper than the Vega protein made simple I have been buying which is what brought me to it. Compared to the Vega it has 2.5G more protein and 2.5G less carbs in the same amount of powder, which was also promising to me, but, I just don’t want to drink it. All in all I would rather spend more for something that is enjoyable even if it’s slightly less nutrient dense.

I love the plain flavor for blending with my smoothies, as I hate sweetened protein powders. The plain tastew fine all blended up, maybe a little gritty but nothing too noticeable. I don't like whey, so this is perfect for me. I tried the chocolate and vanilla on their own, with just some water, to compare to other flavored protein powders. It wasn't as sweet as others but still tasted kinda icky to me. Love that I was able to try them before ordering a big bottle. I'll be sticking with the plain.
