Plant-Based Vegan Protein Powder, Raw Chocolate - Pea Protein & Vitamin B-12 - ­Post Workout Fitness & Nutrition Shakes, Smoothies, Baking & Cooking Recipes - 2.5 Pound

For the price, this is just about the best protein you're going to find. As most things in life, there are some pros and cons. I will elaborate on the pros: #1 Protein yield, a mere 31 gram serving size yields 25 grams of protein, that’s roughly an 81% protein yield for plant based protein (very good)! #2 Promix contains a fantastic amino acid profile. No need to buy additional BCAA's or EAA's, it's likely more than covered in the protein mix. #3 the protein mixes well. I use water, and I have not had any clumping. #4 taste, I rather enjoy the taste of the protein. It's not sweet, but the chocolate powder comes through without an after taste. #5 the minimal amount of ingredients. There are no fillers or fluff, and that's partially why the protein yield is so high. Cons: #1 this is more of a personal complaint than a con, I wish they would list the percentage of the type of protein they use. The label list Organic Pea Protein and Organic Sprouted Brown Rice. I'd simply like to know the actual percentages. I'm assuming there is more Pea protein, but who knows. #2 not for me but for some, the taste may not be sweet enough. Overall, this compares well with some of the highest animal based proteins on the market, and the price is reasonable. I would love to see them add a “greens” profile to really complete this already outstanding protein.

This product has been a real blessing because it’s unsweetened, bland, and has 25 g protein per serving (2 scoops = 1 serving). I’ve got Stage IV lung cancer, and really need the protein boost, because I gag when eating solid food. So I am now resorting to protein supplements to give me the needed nutrition. And most protein drinks / powders are unacceptable to me - they’re sweetened, dairy-based, or use unacceptable ingredients like soy or inflammation-inducing oils. My taste buds can’t handle the typical sweetness level of the sweetened protein powders. Besides, I really don’t like stevia! And my gut track reacts very unfavorably to most dairy-based products. In my opinion this is the best of the available vegan protein powders: there is NO pea protein aftertaste, and its very bland flavor makes it ideal to mix with whatever you like. The bland taste allows you to throw it into baked goods or drinks. Since there’s no sweetener in this formulation, you can sweeten it to suit your taste buds - if your taste buds are very sensitive to sweet, you can add just a tad of sweetener and not gag. Yes, it is chalky, but mixing it in a blender with coffee, cream, and ice (and, for me, just a tad of sweetener) renders it quite acceptable to me. It’s also reasonably acceptable in a golden milk (turmeric, coconut milk, cinnamon, cardamom, etc.) recipe with cream added - just keep stirring to keep it in suspension. In my opinion it’s best in drinks or baked goods — definitely not great in soups. When ordering, be aware that Promix makes at least two versions of this vegan protein powder - this one, with a little sprouted brown rice, has no aftertaste. Another version has only pea protein , and the description for that version says that it has an “earthy” taste (which is probably one reason I don’t like most of the pea protein powders I’ve had).

Hello, I originally bought the chocolate flavor of your protein powder and really loved it. Recently, I decided to try the unflavored version, especially for taking it at night, but unfortunately the taste does not work for me at all. There is also an issue with the packaging. After opening the bag, the top seal does not close properly. The three-layer seal that should connect on both sides isn’t functioning, so the package cannot be securely used or stored. When I contacted customer support about a possible exchange, I was told it was not possible. However, I’ve also noticed from recent reviews that the formula may have changed. It seems I’m not the only customer who feels the taste and quality are different from before. When a product is already successful and loved by customers, changing the formula can be disappointing. I wanted to share this feedback because I truly liked your product before and hope you will consider maintaining the original quality and improving customer support for situations like this. Thank you for your time.

Protein powders are a dime a dozen it seems. Some taste great and some are just awful. This one is pretty good. I’m partial to whey protein sources, but wanted to venture out and have a vegan source of protein. The first bag I received tasted delicious. On par with some of the better whey protein mixes I’ve had. And it mixed really well. Concurrent bags though, I’ve noticed a slight difference in both taste and mixability. The taste has a subtle aftertaste I didn’t notice with the first bag, though not bad. And now the powder kind of settles after mixing. I have to re-shake every 10-15 seconds to re-suspend the mix. Not the end of the world but a little annoying. I like that the ingredients are pretty straightforward, no filler. And the number of servings is very fair for the price and quality. The mix comes in a bag instead of a tub that I prefer, but it’s barely an inconvenience.

The taste is the biggest downside, but that's just the result of having a clean product with no fillers. It tastes exacly like pea protein should taste: like a cold pea soup with no attempts made to season it. I personally close my nostrils and chug it down. It blends easily and doesn't clump. Only real complaint is that the seal could be better.
