NAKED Vanilla Pea Protein Isolate from North American Farms, Only 3 Ingredients, Vanilla Vegan Protein, NSF Certified, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, GMO Free - 1LB

I’ll be honest — this is not the best tasting or easiest mixing protein out there. It’s a little grainy and takes some effort to shake properly. But that’s exactly why I bought it. This is one of the few proteins that is truly clean. No additives, no sweeteners, no weird ingredients — just straight pea protein. And if you’re trying to avoid all the extra stuff, that matters. Also, no emulsifiers or mixing agents. Most protein powders add those to make it dissolve easier and feel smoother, but they’re still extra processed ingredients your body has to deal with. They don’t add real nutritional value — they just improve texture and shelf life. Most “smooth” proteins are smooth because they add things to make them that way. This one doesn’t. So yeah, you give up a little convenience and texture… but you know exactly what you’re putting in your body. For me, that trade-off is worth it. If you want something clean and simple, this is a solid choice at least for me.

Me explain like cave man. Me like company. They make simple product; max 7 ingredients. Protein good for me. Me vegan. Protein vegan. Me need vegan protein so me buy from company. Protein powder gritty. Not southern grits gritty but baking soda in toothpaste gritty. Not deal breaker for me. Taste not vanilla. Taste vanilla soaked coffee filter. Taste over power all other mix-ins. Powder no like liquid. Powder cake up on side of bottle me shake. Me angry because me have to use finger to scrape bottle. Finger a mess. Extra step me no like. Me wonders what flavor doesn't have these problems but me have tried 2 flavors - same problem. Me finish bottle and wait until company improves Powder. Powder make great baking addition. No taste powder when baking.

Not the best tasting protein, but also I’m used to vegan protein powders being traditionally not very “yummy” dissolves well with a blender bottle and some soy milk. Just tastes earthy. For the ingredients and cost it’s a win for me

Not your average sweetened protein powder. I went to a hollistic doctor and she said that pea protein is the best form of protein (aside from real food) that you can consume. You have to doctor it up if you’re not used to unsweet things. I add banana, strawberries and honey. This is not a powder you should take with water like others because it’s so raw and has very to no taste. I love it because the 5lbs lasts me awhile and because it does not bloat me. Also there is no clumping.

People, please don't just go by negative reviews. I saw a couple of negative reviews where they were complaining that it tastes like mushed peas. But... isn't that what it's made with?? Wow! People, this is a great whey protein alternative which will contain chickpeas and other non dairy goodies. 3 flavors offered - vanilla, chocolate and plain. I got the vanilla but definitely wasn't expecting it to taste like a Cold Stone Creamery super vanilla ice cream. So just use common sense, peas will taste like peas but it has the protein you're looking for. Forget the rest of the sugarholics expecting their protein podwer to taste like ice cream. Pea protein powder, 7/10! Weird taste at first, but you remember that you're drinking pea protein. Update - Vanilla flavored pea protein is now so much better to my taste palette. I taste the vanilla more. And I got jacked from working out, enjoying this vanilla pea protein and healthy meals. Work hard, get your reward!

Disolved easily. Probably easier than any other protein powder I’ve ever tried. I can’t do Whey nor Casein nor Egg anymore. This stuff probably wrecked my gut. I train very regularly so I need a decently high protein intake and this does the trick very well. Taste isn’t bad at all. Don’t expect something sweet (it is slightly sweet just not candy sweet or typical protein shake sweet). Tastes sorta like something between oatmeal and chicory. I’ve added peanut butter to it before. Tastes pretty awesome that way. Pb doesnt disolve well but that s ok. I use a fork to batter it for 10 sec. The pb small strings/pepites is what tastes the strongest pb than the part that might go into smaller particles into the mix. Pea protein is the most well balanced protein in terms of amino acids out of all veggie proteins. It s pretty much like whey. Without the crap. Note that pea protein metabolizes into higher amounts of uric acid. If you have gout... this ain’t for you. If you don’t, well probably best to still watch your consumption. * UPDATE 4 months into it * Love this. I replaced 90% of my protein consumption with this. You really get used to the taste without adding anything. It’s also the cheapest protein with a balanced amino acid profile ( ie similar to meat or whey) on $/g of protein that money can buy by a factor of 10x vs steak and something like 2 to 5x vs whey. If you’re on a budget, pea protein should be your go-to source of protein.

It’s definitely protein and works as a plant based alternative to whey. Personally I really struggled with the taste/texture of this stuff. If you’re used to whey, it’s much different. I’ve had better success with mixing it with other proteins so I have diverse sources in my shakes and it’s not all whey. Works great for that. Overall, it’s good stuff and works for what it’s intended but not tasty for me.

this item has no other ingredients but what is on the label. clean, pure pea protein, with no lead ( google for yourself, how many pea and whey protein mixes have high residual amounts of heavy metals, lead and Cadmium.) the flavour is not sweet at all. so I added very ripe banana and blueberries, as well as 2 teaspoons of stevia. it then tastes like a milkshake . very impressed that the 5 lb container = 61 servings!! a previous pea protein that i had used for the last 2 years, barely gave me 9 or ten servings at a price of 25 dollars In conclusion, if you want clean protein, good taste with adding fruit and or spinach you will get a great tasting smoothie protein shake.

Tastes like an early Joe Weider formula I used to favour. However there is no vanilla taste to this product at all which is very disappointing. Guess I'll be stuck with ordering the one without vanilla next time.

Tastes disgusting

Not a good taste at all. Very gritty. Had to throw it away because I don’t think anyone would enjoy it.

I’ve tried pea protein powder from a few other companies, from unflavoured to several flavours. I was intrigued to try this brand, with its minimal ingredients and use of real sugar which is so rare, and liked the fact that the macros were good and comparable to the otehr brands as well. I put this in my morning smoothie (with half a banana, spinach and dry rolled oats) and was honestly blown away. The taste surpassed my expectations - the level of sweetness was just right (the stevia ones as a bit too sweet for me) and the vanilla flavour tasted like vanilla bean rather than a very artificial vanilla. It also blended well. I’m a big fan and will be buying again
