PhD Nutrition Diet Plant, High Protein Lean Matrix, Vegan Diet Protein Powder, Belgian Chocolate, 19g of Plant Protein, 40 Servings Per 1 kg Bag (Packaging May Vary)

I have been using this protein powder for a month now and I must admit at first I wasn't a fan. Having read the reviews I was sceptical, but decided to give it a try. This is my first time trying protein powder. I was looking for a way to reduce calories but increase daily protein intake without using whey.I followed the instructions on the pack to the letter and found the same as others, it was watery, gritty and quite frankly off putting. Using a protein shake shaker or shaker of any kind does not work!So I experimented with milk instead of water both cows milk and plant based {oat and almond} and I experimented with how I prepared it (hand wisk and powered hand blender).For me the best combination was semi skimmed cows milk using an electric hand blender. I use 200ml of cows milk (instead of 175ml of water) and one scoop of powder and blend with the stick blender using the whisk attachment for 1 minute. It tripples in volume, becomes creamy and the flavour is there to taste.I have found that I have to chug it all or it does become gritty after a few minutes. This just means that breakfast is over and done with in less than 5 minutes.FYI check your pack for a scoop, mine had one but I didn't find it until 2 weeks after opening as it was buried down near the bottom. Easiest way is to check before opening by gently squeezing and feeling for a hard lump. That's the scoop!

Tried the protein shake first time today 4/5/24. First thing when I opened the bag is quite a sweet smell just how chocolate should be, it’s a very fine powder that mixes well and just like many protein shakes I’ve tried in the past. Texture is just like any other protein powder and yes it leaves a slight aftertaste but nothing unpleasant and a quick drink of water and it goes.The bag seal a faff but if you just put ya fingernail or a tooth pick down it and get rid of the powder it seals perfectly.And yes you get a scoop that comes with it.So yes just another protein powder like any on the market but plant based and I think good value for money 👍

The best vegan protein powder I’ve had so far. Only 4 stars because it’s way too sweet - if they reduced the amount of Sucralose it would be much better.I add a bit of cocoa powder to mellow it out and it definitely helps

Probably the most artificial tasting and smelling one. When mixing it into a shake it has this gritty texture and it’s the same when you mix it with yogurt. I feel heavily disappointed with how artificial the taste is, not to mention the smell instantly hitting you when you open the bag. Was hoping it would have a natural creamy strawberry flavour but sadly not. Will stick to vanilla Why did you choose this product over others?:Wanted to try another flavour

It tastes better than any other protein shakes I’ve tried and has low carbs. I’ve mixed it with soya milk and water and both work but it mixes a bit better with water.

Protein shakes are not a naturally occurring whole food, I get that, so they're always going to taste a little bit synthetic. I tend to find though that the vegan versions taste a little bit less processed and artificial, although unfortunately the same cannot be said for this product.It blends reasonably well with water to create a smooth, if thin, shake. I find I have to add a bit of glucomannan/konjac powder just to thicken it. I haven't tried it with any kind of plant or dairy milk so can't comment on that - maybe it's better, who knows.It tastes.... OK. It's not terribly satisfying or moreish, but it's fine. It has a distinct flavour, although not of salted caramel particularly. If you ever had Angel Delight as a kid, it tastes a bit like the butterscotch flavour of that, but more artificial and slightly salty.You can also use it to create a protein dessert type thing by just adding less liquid and mixing. This has a really pleasing consistency, much like the aforementioned Angel Delight, and it kind of tastes like a blander, more synthetic, salted version of that I guess. Again, it's fine, but not delicious. I've also tried baking with it (to try and use it up, as I'm a bit sick of it as a shake) and the artificial taste again takes over, so not a huge success, but if you like the taste of the powder I guess it works well enough.I do like that this packs a lot of protein for the calories, and I like the fact they offer a flavour other than chocolate, which seems to be the main flavour for the vegan shakes. It does also blend well. Also it's good value when on offer and a bag lasts me a while. Unfortunately I won't be rushing to repurchase this unless I'm out of better options.

Love this stuff, been using now for near 8 months after a gym session or as a lunch replacement with a balanced diet if I'm on the go, I've managed to drop 2½ stone in 4 months with 3 gym sessions per week Aswel and will continue to buy regularly. No bloat after taking it and 2 scoops with 200ml skimmed milk always makes me feel full 👍

For me, this protein powder is the one! I’ve been using it on and off for several years and love it. Such a versatile product - you can have it as a shake, in protein pancakes, or mix it with just water until it forms a yogurt-like consistency (which is what I do). For breakfast, in a bowl, I have 2 scoops mixed to form “yoghurt”, 2 bananas, a portion of dates and some blueberries which keeps me fuelled until dinner. 40g of protein and around 600 calories. Amazing product!
