Pea - Vanilla Pea Protein - Pea Protein Isolate from North American Farms - 5lb Bulk, Plant Based, Vegetarian & Vegan Protein. Easy to Digest, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free

Did not come with a scoop inside, so that's kinda annoying. I'm just using my 1/4 measuring cup as a scoop instead. 1/4cup is basically equal to 64cc or 4tbsp, the serving size. EDIT: Found the scoop! It did have a scoop, but it was really buried down deep in the powder, even though the jar only comes half-full because of compacting down during shipping. So go digging in your powder and you'll probably find your scoop. It smells faintly of peas and it will taste like horrible pea chalk if you just eat it by itself. I strongly do not recommend putting this in water. You need to put it in a smoothie or sauce or something so you can barely taste it. I do a morning smoothie every morning: 14 cups spinach and 2 cups orange. It's a huge smoothie and I can still taste a hint of peas from behind the spinach. If you do smaller smoothies, then you might want to do 1/2 serving size so the pea taste doesn't overwhelm. I doubt many protein powders taste that good unless you dump a ton of sugar and fat into them. So don't expect "pea chalk" to taste good by itself or in a glass of water. Put it in a smoothie or something else and it should be fine, even if you can still taste a hint of peas. UPDATE: While the plain Naked Pea powder is fine, I really wanted the taste of peas to be toned down a little.... but I didn't want to add bananas or anything else to my smoothie. So I decided to try out the Vanilla Naked Pea powder. It's PERFECT. Having that bit of sugar and vanilla in the powder totally knocks down the strong pea taste and my smoothie tastes great again. I don't think you have to have the vanilla or chocolate favored version if you're putting enough stuff in your smoothie, but if you think the plain pea protein is still too strong, then definitely try out the vanilla or chocolate version. It makes such a difference. I did also try out the vanilla flavored KOS protein powder because its rated as the "best tasting" by many websites. I did NOT like it. It was 10000x times TOO sweet. It was giving me a headache and a stomach ache it was so sweet. It was so overwhelming that even with 14 cups of spinach, I couldn't taste ANY of the spinach, all I could taste was an atomic bomb level of vanilla sweetness. That is seriously strong stuff to be able to overwhelm all of that spinach in my smoothie. So I'm definitely sticking with Vanilla Naked Pea. Just a bit of sweetness to make it pleasant and hide the pea taste without giving me atomic bomb levels of sweetness that literally cause stomach aches and headaches and make it impossible to taste anything else in your smoothie. I do NOT recommend putting plain Naked Pea in water to drink. Definitely need to put it in a smoothie or something else. But you might be able to put the Vanilla or Chocolate version of Naked Pea in water and be OK. It really does knock down almost all of the pea flavor, so the main thing you're tasting is vanilla or chocolate, even in plain water.

This protein doesn’t taste good - it wasn’t meant to. It’s a protein for a person looking for pure plant protein with no chemicals, additives, preservatives, added sugar, etc. If you’re looking for a good tasting protein shake this probably isn’t it. With that being said, I personally think the taste is bearable. It doesn’t really have too strong a taste. I sometimes blend it with ice, oat milk, and a little cinnamon and sugar to make it taste better. You could also use it as a base and add all kinds of fruit, yogurt, chocolate, etc. and I’m sure it would taste fine. This protein doesn’t give me any type of digestive issues either.

Nice and easy to mix into smoothies. Strong taste and not the most pleasant, however expected due to it being a plain flavor. It does take a stronger amount of fruit/veggies to cover the taste, but nonetheless texture is otherwise undisturbed.

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.

Great source of protein for me. Mixes well and has a slight taste of pea, but that's to be expected. I don't get bloated from this as I do from whey protein. Will continue to purchase.

I have purchased this several times and it is by far my favorite protein powder. It dissolves well, works great in sweet or savory dishes, doesn't have a chalky taste, has just one ingredient, and it is raw which is perfect for those who follow a raw vegan or mostly raw vegan diet. It is a vital part of my nutrition and I truly enjoy this. Haven't seen any reason to go back to any other brand. For 5 lbs of protein, the price point is excellent. It is huge and one of the best deals I have seen for such a high quality ingredient.

NAKED Pea Vanilla is my go-to plant-based protein. Easy to digest, mixes well, and has a smooth, mild flavor. I like that it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from soy and dairy—feels clean and simple. Great for anyone looking for a high-quality vegan protein.

Unflavored All the Way! If you read that it doesn't taste great, take into consideration that those reviews are written by people who aren't serious about their diets and are probably not used to eating vegetables. I even saw one review where they mix it with Diet Coke or Mountain Dew. I'm clearly going to take all my diet recommendations from those guys. #sarcasm If you're diet is somewhat normal and you know what peas taste like, you'll be fine. I honestly take 100° water, make a paste with it, then dilute it a little to make it drinkable, and gulp. When I make it a paste to a drinkable consistency, it doesn't have lumps and is really smooth. Yes it's like eating peas, but peas that are packed with protein and BCAAs. I love how they test for heavy metals and they also have certified results from two testing labs on their macros. American and Canadian crop, single ingredient, no gluten or dairy. You literally can't go wrong! However, I'm giving 4 stars because I am a little concerned that it's not organic. But even more concerned with how much tyrosine is in it. It seems that every protein now (vs 10 years ago) has tyrosine in it. So there's no getting away from it, but this has a staggering amount. If you have thyroid issues, hyper/hypo, taking meds/hormones, talk to your Dr about this. For normal people,150mg daily for 3 months is considered safe, and this has 1,107mg (7x!) Just do your research, I'll only be using this twice a week until it's gone, and I'll be looking for something else.
