KOS Vegan Protein Powder Erythritol Free, Vanilla - USDA Organic Pea Protein Blend, Plant Based Superfood Rich in Vitamins & Minerals - Keto, Dairy Free - Meal Replacement for Women & Men, 15 Servings

Alright, I'll start off by saying this is the BEST protein powder I have ever had. I have tried multiple brands (big and small, MLM or bought at target) and a lot I have trashed. I have a degree in nutrition and fitness, I'm a wife, a boy mom chef, a very busy online nutrition and fitness professional. I don't have time for crappy products. I don't want to be eating or drinking them, I won't recommend them to my clients and I certainly won't give them to my kids or family. Thankfully this product hit the amazing mark in everything. 1. The plant protein sources; pea, flax, quinoa, pumpkin and chia. Pea protein is an awesome source of protein along with the carbs we want. Flax and chia are great sources of omega 3's (which we all need more of since we are typically high in omega 6 which causes inflammation), Chia seeds are perfect for adding in additional fiber into our diets with very little effort. Quinoa is the perfect mix of protein and good carbs and pumpkin is amazing for our reproductive health - women and men! 2. The awesome enzyme blend; amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, and cellulase. Protease which digests protein. Amylase digests carbohydrates. Lipase for fats and oils digestion. Lactase which digests dairy products. And cellulase that converts glucose. Who wouldn't want this in their protein shake? 3. The sweet stuff. Organic agave, Organic Coconut Sugar, Stevia, Monk Fruit. Perfect blend of sweet without being too sweet and a bonus because it doesn't upset any of the little bellies in my home. 4. The fruit and vegetable blend they have formulated is perfect! It leaves no grit, even with foods like quinoa and seeds being in it. It blends perfectly, super smooth, cooks well, freezes in other foods well, isn't clumpy, and it's $39? People pay $200+ for a shake that doesn't taste half as good and is loaded with things that can cause a lot of GI distress. I would easily pay $200 for this shake. They batch test their own products..no weird, sketchy other company needed. If something is too high - the ditch it! 5. This one is pretty important. Their customer service is amazing! I work in an industry where client relations is SO important and these guys nailed it with their team. They've answered tons of questions for me and have been so kind! I ordered the Vanilla to try first - but I love it so much I know that the chocolate will be just as good if not better! I'll be ordering that tonight. Happy to say I will never have to try or search for another protein powder again! I will 100% be recommending this to ALL of my clients, family, friends and anyone I know because I love it that much!

This organic, non gmo plant based protein is the true MVP. I'm a Nutritionist and Exercise Physiologist and take food very seriously. What you put into your body is gold. You need to fuel it with the right things to feel good and sustain health. I have been on the search for a plant based protein thats not only healthy with ingredients I can pronounce but tastes good too AND blends to perfection and this my friends is what I've been looking for! I tried almost all the plant based proteins on the market and have been disappointed countless times. Either the protein is mega healthy and tastes like absolute garbage, doesn't blend well and is super chalky or the protein tastes great minus the healthy factor because its loaded with sugar and fillers. KOS plant based protein tastes like magic in a bottle AND its ingredient profile is off the charts! I love the fact that this product is made in the USA, low in sugar, is soy, gluten and dairy free and is organic, vegan and non gmo (which are all things that are important to me and what I believe a healthy protein/ food should be comprised of). As a plus this goodness is chalked FULL of BCAA's (amino acids your body can't make and needs through diet) If your workouts are intense say your crushing a grueling round of HIIT that leaves you sore for days, BCAAs can raise your fitness game a notch and even help torch fat while helping you recover from leg day much sooner. I can't say enough great things about this protein because it literally has everything I've ever dreamed a protein could have. It even has a vast supply of awesome antioxidants, omegas, vitamins and minerals. Whether you're a gym rat wanting to up your nutrition game or someone who just wants a healthy breakfast smoothie this protein is for you. My favorite way to make this smoothie is using my ninja blender cup- I place 4-5 ice cubes at the bottom, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/4 cup frozen strawberries, 2 scoops of KOS vegan vanilla protein, 1 cup(ish) unsweetened almond milk, a handful of organic spinach and 2 shakes of cinnamon. Blend for 30 seconds, stick a straw in and enjoy a dreamy getaway to smoothie heaven! Sometimes if I need an afternoon pick me up I make one of these bad boys and throw a few sprinkles on for good measure :) I've also used this protein to make 3 ingredient coconut oil peanut butter cups and it tastes AMAZING and sets perfectly. I can't wait to check out the chocolate and use this protein in baked goods too! You won't be disappointed with your purchase and the price is unbeatable! This will forever be a staple in my pantry! Thanks KOS for making a protein I absolutly love and can feel good about putting into my body!

Update: after using it for the last few months, I can definitely say that the taste and texture all depends on preparation and what flavors you pare it with. So far my favorite flavor combo is to add peanut butter and cocoa powder and this morning I added a bit of chinese 5 spice. It definitely needs to be blended in a smoothie maker or blender, not hand blended in a shaker bottle or with a spoon, as it creates chalky clumps otherwise. I dont feel it pares well with blended fruit, but maybe if you added some type of yogurt. I just found the fruit wasn't enough to cover up the veggie/mushroom aftertaste. Pros: pregnancy safe ingredients, non-dairy, gluten free, soy free and organic. Extremely hard to find something that matches all those criteria. It's a good value. Cons: doesn't blend well, leaves a powdery feel in your mouth. The taste, although bareable, is not ideal. I wish they would have left out the vegetable blend, as I can taste that more than vanilla it's supposed to be flavored as. So far I've tried it in 2 different flavored shakes. I blended one scoop with frozen blueberries, fresh pomegranate seeds, and a little dash of vanilla. The second I added one scoop, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and a half a banana. The PB/chocolate/banana worked better than the berry. The berry was palatable but not exactly pleasant. The PB one wad midly better. Overall, I'll still continue to eat it, as I'm desperate to get enough protein in for my pregnancy and this is the only shake I've found that I can eat all the ingredients plus be organic. Again, the flavor isn't disgusting but could definitely be improved. Leave the veggies out please.

I read every kind of review on this product before purchasing, including all of the ones with one star. I am not a vegan, but I like to eat vegan or vegetarian more often than not just to save a few animals. That, and whey protein powder is incomplete and bothers my stomach. Since this was on sale for prime day (I got it for almost half off), I decided to give it a try since it is widely known to be one of the highest rated vegan protein powders in terms of taste and ingredients (based on a lot of research). I just never purchased it before this because of the price. When it arrived, the first thing I did was smell it because a lot of people who gave it low ratings said it smelled awful. To my delight, it smelled like vanilla cupcake batter. Then I put a tiny spoonful in my mouth (this sounds gross, but I wanted to see how it tasted on its own), and I was delighted again. It was the first vegan protein powder I've ever tried that was not only palatable without being mixed, but it was quite delicious. It also melted away on my tongue, confirming the claims that it dissolves easily with no grit. I used it in my spinach smoothie bowl, and it tasted so much better. I typically use the Aloha vanilla protein powder, which by comparison tastes awful. I'm not sure why some people who have written reviews on here say that the taste was so bad. People either said it tasted overly sweet, salty, or that it just made them gag. I don't know if these people just got bad batches or what, or if my taste buds are just different. I would not say this is delicious if it weren't true. Addressing the salt issue, it does contain 18% of your daily value for sodium. Honestly this isn't much of an issue, seeing as our bodies need sodium and you will be blending it with a liquid. I think it balances out the flavor as well. Unless you are suffering from hypertension or cardiovascular disease, I would not worry about it too much. My only issue with this is the price. I won't be able to justify buying this again when it is not on sale for prime day. That makes me sad because it's so delicious and has so much good nutrition. No fake stuff or dangerous ingredients, either. Very much recommend, especially if the price is not an issue for you.

Product tastes great and mixes well in my morning bowl of oatmeal.

EDIT: Because of price gouging. I ordered the BIG SIZE of 30 servings four months ago for 38.93 inc tax (HIGH tax where I live) and now it's 58.29! Four months later, same size, same flavor. ______________________________________________________________________________ First, I love chocolate Plant Fusion, but not their vanilla one. This time of the year, I love to make pumpkin smoothies and for that wanted a good vanilla protein powder which I have found REALLY hard to find. I have tried SO many and don't know why it's hard to get VANILLA right, but most are too chemically sweet for me or have an icky flavor. PROS: PACKAGING - I LOVE that it is was DOUBLE sealed. QUANTITY - I saw pix where it looked like it was about a third full. Mine looked a little over half full and ALL protein powders I've gotten are like this because it settles. So as long as I get the number of servings, I'm fine with it. PRICE - I got the smallest one to try and so you pay more for how much you get, but it's in line with what I pay for other powder I use. SMELL - I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked how it smelled. TASTE - I only used ONE scoop for my pumpkin smoothie rather than the two, and I thought tasted really good. Obviously not as much protein and nutrients with one scoop, but I wasn't sure how strong it would be so used one. REALLY was good. Not too sweet, no chemical taste and the pumpkin taste really came through. CONS: so far, NONE RECIPE for pumpkin smoothie: take regular Libby's pumpkin, the kind WITHOUT added ingredients, just pumpkin. Freeze (I freeze in ice cube trays so I can just pop out about three cubes per smoothie). Put in my mini blender, I made with Silk Almond Coconut milk, a dash of nutmeg, cinnamon and stevia to taste (I may not have needed the stevia, it tasted pretty sweet) and blend well. BOTTOMLINE: GLAD I got it and THIS will be my go to for when I want VANILLA protein powder.

This powder meets nutritional desires, but taste is almost unpleasant. Consistency of powder is very fine and it mixes well, but I add a lot of cinnamon or some honey to cover up taste. For the health benefits, I will probably continue with it since I can work around the flavor.

So my 14 year old son comes home after watching a documentary at school on slaughterhouses and announces he is Vegan!... I’m totally a meat and cheese lover and to me this was soul crushing but I always try to support his decisions even when I think it’s nuts. I started preparing vegan alternatives for him and I found that he was dropping way to much weight he looked almost gaunt and I told him this phase was done he needed protein. So instead of listening to me he mentioned what if I take protein powder. It seemed reasonable enough so the search for protein powder began. I started with a power that was twice the amount of this product and 1/2 the size not only that it claimed to be vegan yet contained egg whites in the ingredients! I of course said it’s no big deal but to my son he was devastated he had ingested a lie. So I went through 2 more powders and a lot of money and guess what both claiming to be vegan contained things like dehydrated honey for flavoring (not vegan friendly) and the other one tasted so bad even when mixining it into pancake mix and covering in syrup couldn’t mask the taste. I had literally had it then my son came to me and said mom look I did the leg work myself and I researched all the ingredients and read the reviews on this power and if it doesn’t work I will think about just being a vegetarian but my heart knows I’m a vegan, to top it off he even offered to pay for this one (I didn’t make him pay)... but I will admit I was skeptical for 2 reasons. #1 the price seemed too reasonable compaired to others on the market and #2 others had claimed to taste good and be totally vegan yet when they arrived some of the ingridents provided in original description been omitted. In the end I purchased the KOS protein powder to show my son that I tired really hard to be supportive of this huge lifestyle change but I was under no illusions it would be the answer. TO MY AMAZMENT KOS PROTIEN POWDER WAS IN FACT THE ANWSER!... First of all the bottle is huge!! It’s not like one of those that is packaged to look big and then you open it and the powder is only filled half way up and the scoop is the size of a full cup per Serving it was full of powder and the scoop was perfect! Then came the real test. I made pancakes for breakfast and... he asked for seconds! I have hesitated on posting on this in order to be completely transparent after all it could have just been luck and the pancake mixture masked the flavor but then I made protein bars and muffins and guess what I’m ordering another bottle in vanilla flavor and I have found other recipes that will allow me to even branch out and buy the chocolate too! My son will be home later and I want to get a picture of him with the protien becasue he is soo happy that he is following his heart and embracing the vegan lifestyle and I am happy that I found the most amazing protien powder in size flavor and cost to help support his convictions!! I would give it 1000 stars if I could.
