BulkPea Protein Isolate Powder, Vegan Protein Shake, 1 kg, 33 Servings, Packaging May Vary

I really can not understand the other reviews here complaining about the taste. It does not have a strong distinctive taste at all and when added to a banana smoothie, as I take it, I can't taste it at all. I've used hemp protein in the past and that stuff tastes like ground up dirt with a similar consistency. What I will say is this does make very thick shakes so be warned you may have to use a little more liquid than normal to make it drinkable.Another bonus of pea protein is that it is a rather good addition to baking. I'm gluten intolerant so I'm constantly experimenting with different flours to get better results in my baking. Adding pea protein powder to biscuits, cakes and bread has had some rather excellent results. It is still no substitute for having gluten but my cake game has reached a new level.There are obvious pros and cons with nearly all whey substitutes and this is no different. But it really doesn't taste that bad (not like pea at all if anything I'd say it was rather pleasant) and the price is insanely good for the amount you get, even if you only end up using it in baking you'll get some great results and your monies worth.

I switched over to this vanilla protein powder from using a regular whey one as the dairy wasn’t agreeing with my stomach but I’m so disappointed. This protein powder tastes absolutely disgusting, even in a smoothie mixed with frozen berries and banana. It has a horrible taste and a gritty texture. I dread to think what this would taste like if mixed with water or milk as a regular protein shake, because the taste and texture isn’t even masked when blended with fruit to make a smoothie.

Good quality product and brilliant value for money. Easy to measure and dissolves easily in a shaker. It has a lot less foam than other brands.Slightly silky texture which some may not appreciate, but doesn't bother me. The powder does have a bit of an unpleasant flavour, as do all pea protein powders. I just swallow holding my breath and don't taste at all.I shake this first and wait for the foam to dissipate, and then add a scoop of AG1, and consume within 30 minutes of waking as per the Slow Carb diet / Four Hour Body. Gives good and reliable energy early in the day.

I brought the vanilla powder, I almost did not buy anything because of the reviews but I did it anyway because 2.5kg of vanilla for £25 is not bad at all. I was pleasantly surprised that the taste is not bad at all, yes it is not overly surgery or pumped full of sweeteners so there is a taste to get used to like after a few sips it was fine for me, + no bloating or bad stomach cus pea isolate protein digests easily hope this helped :)

As a pea protein, I was expecting the taste to be pretty bland and it certainly is, doesn't taste like vanilla at all, only tastes of sweetener. However, mixes quite well with water/dairy free drinks and makes nice and thick shakes with other add-ons (sugar free syrup, flavorings, coffee, peanut butter, fruits...).Bland taste means I can add this to anything and everything - I have used it to make protein shakes, pancakes and bakes so far, and worked surprisingly well. Keeps you full for hours! Value is great too.I would recommend.

A pea protein and a good one at that. I don't understand all the complaints, have people never tasted unflavored 80% whey protein? not the tastiest of things. The price is fantastic and you can always stock up when the sales come around. I have yet to regret making a purchase from Bulk Powders and their service is consistent in product and people.You're looking at approximately 400 - 450ml of water for 55g of powder. Water first, add in the powder, mix with a spoon and then drink. Sure, it tastes bland and has a texture akin to a paste but it far removed from being the worst tasting unflavored protein powder. I highly recommend this product for anyone having digestive issues with isolate and concentrate whey proteins. It is a cheaper alternative and if you're looking to cut down on your daily intake of beef or chicken you can throw a pea protein shake in.Packaging is both strong and resealable with printed information on the back and a scoop inside.Look forward to no foul diary smell in your shakersBe aware of the salt content of this product and your current daily intake.update Sep 2017 - with powders things change from batch to batch. The batch I have currently tastes stronger and looks darker than the previous one. Hold nose and neck it all.

I see a lot of negative reviews for this product which are very unfair.Yes, this powder tastes horrible when mixed with just water (or as one reviewer tried, coffee?). Complaining about this is like buying turmeric and complaining that it makes your strawberry milkshake taste weird. It is unflavoured protein that has been extracted from peas, it tastes exactly like it sounds. When you start using it as an ingredient in other things, however, it is much much better.I have found this protein powder to be very well suited to things that other powders are not. For instance, whey protein congeals into disgusting lumps when mixed into any hot liquid, but pea protein does not. I like to mix it into spicy soups, which the savoury pea flavour works very well with.If you want to use it in shakes, you definitely need to add sweetness (unless you want a savoury shake?). My current protein shake recipe is to blend a scoop of this powder with milk, frozen berries, an egg and a pinch of sucralose (bulk powders sells this too). I actually prefer this to the version made with whey protein (unflavoured). I've not tried it with almond milk or vegan alternatives to milk, but it will probably work too. Adding a banana will make the shake thicker and creamier too.I will continue to buy this powder, and also will continue to buy whey protein, and as a rule of thumb, use the whey in sweet recipes and the pea stuff for anything savoury.If you want something that you can just mix into water and shake, don't get this, get one of the flavoured powders.
