DEAL SUPPLEMENT Unflavored Pea Protein Powder, 5lbs – Premium North American Grown Peas – Easily Digested Isolate Form – Great for Shakes, Bars, or Snacks – 27g Protein Serving, Soy Free, Vegan

Edit- can someone PLEASE HELP ME?? I bought like 3 bags of this and the first two were good and it tasted more substantial. Now this third bag I got looks thin? Like the powder is more thinner and even when shaking, it’s like thin. Taste like nothing, it’s mixing well yes, but it doesn’t taste like it used to. It has way more bubbles in it. I was wondering if the powder was not good. As if they didn’t add all the protein or it is simply due to their factory process. They may have just milled the powder finer, but still. I relay on this protein to add to my calories since in a bad eater and idk if this is cut or something. PLEASE HELP. I need to be getting my calories, but I don’t know if this is good. It might be more finely milled or I may have gotten a faulty bag. Please help!!!!!! I am lazy and don’t like to make food, so I just supplement with this as I eat food. It helps me feel full faster and it keeps me going. It is a bit hard to mix if you don’t do it right, I suggest you do water and then protein in top to get a better mix, but other than that it’s good. It was cheaper the first time I bought it and it keeps increasing price, which is disappointing. I think it increased by 8-10 dollars or so?? So annoying. But it’s a good protein source and it has 27 g of protein in each serving. EDIT- warning this has very high levels of lead. There is no specified limit as some trace amounts of heavy metals are normal in plant based products as their root mechanism takes heavy metals up. This would be normal in trace amount, but the consumer reports published their findings and lots of these have “concerning levels of lead”. Rice protein isn’t any better as it depends where it is grown. For example, arsenic would be a big worry for rice as it leaches into it when grown especially dependent on where it was grown. If it was grown in Texas it would be concerning as they used to grow cotton where they used pesticides that contain high levels of heavy metals, specifically arsenic. It is important for these companies to place a warning on their labels as these metals are especially bad. This one does have a warning so consume at your discretion. I am worried since I’ve been taking this for about 5-6 months and it is scary. I will try to find another brand that publishes or at least tests their stuff to make sure they are at least safe for consumption, as in they meet FDA (even better if they are meeting California guidelines) guidelines. They need to at least have a safe limit of consumption for us and idk if that’s going to happen. This is of high concern for me as it should be for others. It’s such a bummer because I truly do love this product but as with everything “no good deed goes unpunished”.

Really like this pea protein powder. The unflavored formula makes it easy to mix into smoothies, shakes, and even other recipes without changing the taste too much. I like getting 27g of protein per serving, and the 5 lb bag is a great value. Good option if you’re looking for a simple vegan protein.

UPDATE: I've now been buying this for over one year. I only got one bag that was "off/different" it was still fine - not rancid, etc. All other bags (and I use as about 2x month) have been virtually identical and I've been very happy with them. ORIGINAL: I've purchased this 3x. The first two bags were great: minimal pea taste (easily obscured with cocoa powder or caramel extract) and mixed well with a smooth texture. The red bag, however, had a much more noticable pea flavor and a course/grainy texture that didn't blend nearly as well (and I'm boarding with a Vitamix, so it's getting serious blending 😃). I'm still using it but disappointed.

It's very difficult to mix with water and makes a very thick paste. If you want to take about 35 grams you need at lest 16 ounces of water to make it somewhat possible to drink, otherwise you are scooping it up with a spoon. Forget about adding anything else to it. The taste is not good, but that was expected. In terms of value, yes it's cheeper than whey protein (as of lately) but it has less leucine and other BCAA. It's also very poor in methionine so either you get these amino acids seperatly, or you are getting less value, gram per gram, in terms of anabolic support.

I’ve been using this pea protein daily for about two months and really like it. The price is excellent, the protein content is good, and I have no complaints about the product itself. I would actually like to purchase another 5-lb bag. However, I noticed the California Prop 65 warning regarding lead and did some research before ordering more. I was unable to find publicly available, batch-specific third-party testing showing the levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, or PFAS/PFOA in this product. I’d gladly buy this product again if the manufacturer provided accessible third-party laboratory testing/COAs for the product or specific batches. For something I consume every day, I’d just like to be able to verify what’s actually in it. I like the product and the price—I just want more transparency regarding contaminant testing before purchasing another bag.

The best way I've found to get a smooth non-clumpy consistent protein shake is to use extremely cold water and a spoon mix for about 30 seconds with your hand it decent speed comes out nice and smooth add ice cream or whatever you want it's great I recommend it for everybody and this is my third bag and still love it. Great price great delivery recommended for anyone.

It tastes like pea, and it’s not for me. It gets thicker over time in the cup. I think this could great as an ingredient to add to a smoothie with a bunch of other stuff in it. I don’t recommend it as a standalone drink mix. I’m not a picky eater. I thought I was cool enough to switch to this cost effective powder from a popular chocolate mix. I thought I could add some chocolate syrup and be good. I was incorrect.

This is some good protein, it's pea protein isolate so it's going to be a bit of a rough taste if you don't add some type flavoring. It's also a very dense protein so it really feels you up. It is a bit thicker than even rice protein when drinking so it does take a little bit extra shakes to get the best, but it's a lot easier to clean out the cup than other protein powders.
