Chocolate Pea Protein Isolate from North American Farms, Only 3 Ingredients, Chocolate Vegan Protein, NSF Certified, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, GMO Free - 2LB

This is the best vegan protein powder that I've come across in many years of trying to determine which one is best. Yes, the flavor isn't the greatest but people need to realize that you're not supposed to mix this alone with a plant-based milk. Adding in agave syrup, honey, or some other sweetener (even with fruit) is the way to go. I typically take a Blender bottle, add two scoops of the protein powder, some honey, a teaspoon of chia seeds, and 2 heaping tablespoons of natural peanut butter and I get a decently tasting protein shake. This powder, which is sourced exclusively from farms in the United States and Canada (despite others falsely claiming that it's from China) has just three simple ingredients which you really can't compare relative to many other protein powders with ingredients that most people can't pronounce. If you want to run the risk of heavy metal contamination and ingesting random ingredients that are chemically-based then other protein powders are the way to go. This protein powder is totally worth the money in my book, especially since you know that you're getting a superior product that's actually naturally-based. I promise that I don't work for this company.

I’ve read the reviews, I knew what I was signing up for but I took the chance anyways. I first tried one of the Naked Shake’s flavors and was really impressed (have since reordered more of the Naked Shake’s) so I thought I would give this a shot. I am no stranger to protein powders and have had my share of the good, the bad, and the ugly. For me, there are a few dealbreakers; 1. Macronutrients 2. Mixability 3. Flavor The macros in this powder are a little more middle of the road as I typically look for something with a better protein to carb ratio and this has more carbs than I usually aim for. The mixability is below average and that was clear within the first few uses. The first time I added water and then walked away, only to return a few minutes later and find a COMPLETELY SOLID formation in my bottle. Apparently I had not added enough water but there was no saving that serving so that went to the trash. The second time I made sure to add more water and it seemed to mix great until after a couple of minutes had past and everything settled to the bottom. And now for the flavor. Like I mentioned above, I’m no stranger to protein powders and have experienced some pretty nasty ones, however this one takes the cake. I like my powder to show some versatility and be good for all uses, whether that’s in a smoothie or by itself with a liquid of your choice. 1st attempt, water: nope, hard pass. Chaulk. Paste. No hint of chocolate whatsoever. Not even a bland protein powder taste, just gross. 2nd attempt, almond milk: this can sometimes be a lifesaver for lackluster powders, but almond milk didn’t even stand a chance. Once was enough to decide this was not fair to almond milk and no more would be wasted for the cause. 3rd attempt, smoothie: even the worst of the worst powders have typically been able to be salvaged and had a use as an addition to a smoothie. Added the powder with the normal ratios to a smoothie - nope, this over powered EVERYTHING. It wasn’t until I added nearly a pound of blueberries that I could taste anything aside from this protein powder. I try to avoid wasting food or supplements so I will hold onto this for awhile longer, but I’m really doubting I’ll be able to get through the entire container. And needless to say, I won’t be ordering again. Save your money (and your tastebuds), look elsewhere.

Great product. It does what you want by giving you clean protein. The flavor is not sweet, so some people might not prefer it. I mix one scoop of this with one scoop of another protein mix to make it more palatable.

I’ll be honest, the taste isn’t great. I have the chocolate flavor and have gotten used to it but it was rough at first. With that being said, the macros are great and it does only have 3 ingredients so you can’t expect the world when it comes to taste. Also many of these plant based powders taste bad, that’s just how they are. It would be nice if it was a little more affordable, but I have come to terms with the ~$1 per serving cost, which seems to be below average when compared to other high quality plant based protein powders.

I've gone through several other brands of pea protein powders and NEVER got gas from this one, which a big relief for other members in my household. It smells wonderful, like delicious cocoa powder, and mixability is good. One of the reasons why I purchased it was because it has no artificial sweeteners (i.e. sucralose, acesulfame potassium, etc). The chalkiness is not too bad. My main gripe: despite sugar being listed in the ingredients there's barely a hint of sweetness (it's almost like eating 100% bitter chocolate). It really needs a stronger sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, etc) or to be mixed with something else.

Ok - so I added 10 ounces of milk with two scoops of the chocolate pea protein and used an electric hand blender to mix. When I opened the jar and gave it a good smell it actually smelled really good with a pleasant chocolate aroma. Unfortunately, it does not taste like it smells. The best way to describe the taste is nutty with a tiny tiny hint of cocoa after taste. It doesn't taste good but it doesn't taste bad either. It is very filling and tastes healthy and almost refreshing. I am going to try to mix it with almond milk and then coconut milk and compare to the taste to regular milk because I want to avoid dairy. Even though it doesn't taste like a milkshake it deserves 5 stars. Packed full of protein and only 3 ingredients - what more could you ask for ... besides maybe a little more of a chocolate taste - but I will be buying again. Its a winner in my book, and don't forget its made of peas - kinda cool! **Update*** Just tried it with unsweetened coconut milk and it tastes much better. Will be using coconut milk from now on.

Maybe the quality of the product it's high, this is the reason why I bought it, due the natural ingredients., but personaly I don't like the taste and the texture. Taste as a sour stuff. Someone said mushy peas, and could be similar and the texture is so think. Doesn't taste a ls a chocolate flavour. I feel I have waste my money due I'm feeling sick when I try it. I wanted to buy a small size but they didn't have any smaller than 2kg.

I wanted a protein powder that had minimal ingredients and no stevia, as it upsets my stomach. This protein powder is just that. It tastes good, but keep in mind it is not sweet - so I recommend adding a banana or something to up the sweetness factor a bit. One thing that I don’t like is the measurement - it tells you to use two scoops per serving but that works out to more than 38g. So I weighed the powder and 38g actually measures at 1/3 cup. Otherwise you go through it way faster and get more protein than expected which could mess with your macros/calories for the day.

So, having a nut allergy and dairy intolerance significantly decreases my options when it comes to protein supplements. Sure, it may not be the best flavour, yet it delivers on the expectation that this a pure product. What are you expecting to get when all those other protein supplements have many other ingredients to mask the protein profile. At least with this product you know what you're ingesting and after a while you do appreciate the taste profile. I drink my coffee black, prior to that I used sweeteners,sugars creamer type products etc. Strip all that away and you appreciate the coffee. It may take a while for people to understand what raw pea protein tastes like, so be patient and you will come to realize that it's better for you. So, let the haters hate. Just leaves more for me to buy when it does go up for sale again.

Ordered this protein as a replacement for my regular nuzest, which has now gone up to £50 a kg! This tastes really bad, even when blended with all sorts the bitter taste remains. I’m struggling to choke any of this down and am likely to bin the rest which is a massive shame.

Great source of protein with clean and vegan friendly ingredients. I'm happy with the taste too, though I must mention that it doesn't taste exceptional (It is palatable)
