I love some of other products by this brand, and was excited to try the pea-protein too. I carefully review the ingredient list posted on Amazon, unfortunately it did not include the little paragraph outside the nutrition label that noted Stevia and an additional ingredient. This product is stickily sweet, and the Cacao "flavor" is weak. A miss for me.

I tried asking the seller about metals etc in the powder and if they are tested regularly since this is an issue with vegan protein powders. They told me they test them but they aren’t allowed to tell me the results due to laws….which seems bogus since other vegan brands post results directly on their site or at least address the issue. I have a hard time paying for a product when the company won’t tell me if it’s safe due to “privacy laws”.<br /><br />As for the powder, it is a bit chalky if you are just mixing it with water, but has good flavor and price wise is pretty reasonable.

I just received this product so this is a first impressions review.<br />I used 1 scoop to 8oz of unsweetened coconut milk and about 1oz of water. I added frozen bananas, strawberries and blueberries. I blended it with my Magic Bullet for about 30 seconds, shook it (to make sure it was all mixing together) and blended it again for about 20 more seconds. The result is PERFECT! It's very smooth, not gritty at all and DELICIOUS! I could definitely do without the sweetener they add to this flavor (Vanilla Dream) but it's still very yummy. So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I chose this particular protein mix because of reviews on taste and healthiness. The taste is not good at all. It is chalky and not good tasting.

I don't know what I was expecting from this product. I certainly wasn't expecting it to taste good... was I? Well, it's NOT good, and certainly not a dream (I got vanilla dream) I believe the first word out of my mouth was "yuck." I won't lie--it tastes awful! This is coming from someone who endured two years of Slim Fast "shakes" without an issue.<br /><br />Taste aside, the ingredients look great. Specifically, I'm impressed with the protein content. I'm dipping a toe into the keto diet, and protein is a must. It would also be good for vegans, however, I mixed it up with milk, and that obviously wouldn't be an option for a vegan. If there is a better beverage to use with this product, I would certainly be curious. I thought milk would be a smart option, but no... it's terrible.<br /><br />Having said that, I'll probably drink it 'til it's gone because... well, health food is never that great, is it? It's also a good option for keto dieters, and it made me less hungry instantly. You take the good with the bad, I guess.

This is a hard no for me. I tried it with my Vanilla Almond milk and spit out the first sip. Very chalky and lacks flavor. I really wanted to like this but couldn't get past the fact that I felt like I was drinking watery chalk. Needs more flavor for sure.
