Complete Protein

Tastes good. Slight stevia taste on occasion but it’s bearable/mild for someone like myself who doesn’t like stevia. Good company to support and it’s a good source of vegan protein. I blend 1 (serving size) to 2 scoops (for extra protein) with a banana, almond milk and natural peanut butter in a ninja and drink it daily. Mixes well and tastes delicious. This is my favorite vegan protein powder of all of the ones I’ve tried.

I've been using this protein powder for over 10 years. What I love is the taste as well as the bonus of being non-GMO, and doesn't have any of the usual allergens that I react to.

This is my ‘go to’ for protein shake mix. Not gritty - not too sweet- just right for a protein smoothie in the AM.

PROS: I really like the ingredients in this protein powder and it has a pretty good amount of BCAA in it, that was essential for my post-marathon recovery. I bought the packets because I was traveling and wanted the convenience of carrying in my bag for quick recovery after my runs. CONS: I bought the vanilla flavor and the taste is not the best one out there, really. It is ok, but not great.

No chalkey taste, mixes well with juice, & and tastes great.

I've recently discovered that I'm lactose intolerant, so I'm working on finding new products in place of my dairy-filled favorites. I previously used a whey protein that had a very mild flavor, so it mixed well with just about anything I wanted to put it in. I've always bought Vanilla and put it in smoothies, juices, home made protein bars, and could add it to just about anything if I needed a protein boost for the day. I bought the Vanilla Bean flavor of this product, assuming I'd have the same result. I was very, very wrong. It is so sweet, it tastes like it's full of artificial sweeteners, complete with the aspartame aftertaste. Aside from the flavor, it doesn't dissolve. Other reviews state that it "mixes well." Well sure, I guess it did mix in my smoothie ok (I would hope so, I use a blender). But it was very gritty so my mouth was left with not only a nasty aftertaste but also the feeling like I had fine grain sand in my mouth. Unfortunately, plant-based proteins are much more expensive than whey protein. I read very many reviews before buying, and since this one had great reviews along with only a moderately high price ("only" double what I was paying for my previous brand, compared to others at twice the price or more), I decided it was worth a try. Now I have 2 lbs of protein I don't know what to do with. I'm going to keep trying to mix up what I put in my smoothies, and see if other fruits will cover the taste and texture better. I'm afraid to make my protein bars because I don't want to waste an entire batch for a sickeningly sweet result. I could only choke down half of my concoction last night, so tonight I'm going to experiment with the rest of it. If I somehow find some magical combination that hides both the taste and the texture, I'll update with some suggestions. Until then, assume I'm still struggling to find a creative use for this disappointment of a product.

I feel uncomfortable (ethically speaking) relying on whey or casein-based protein powders because I know dairy cows are treated horribly. So I've been looking for non-dairy alternatives. I've tried this Plant Fusion one, PEScience Vegan vanilla one, and the new Blogilates vanilla protein powder. My priority is mainly flavor & texture because I mix with water and/or almond milk (I don't do the shakes, oatmeal, etc.). So this review is based almost solely on that. Blogilates one tastes the best (almost no aftertaste), but has some texture and can be lumpy. It is not very good with just water - too thin. The almond milk gives it a bit of heft and it's just better to drink. PEScience has a HORRIBLE aftertaste - I really hate that one (their whey/casein regular ones I've tried don't have this aftertaste); less lumpy but does have a bit of sandy texture (not too bad though). This Plant Fusion one doesn't have much flavor....there's almost no vanilla taste. It's VERY finely milled, which means it can be dusty/messy to use, but also means when you blend it with almond milk/water (usually I do a 50/50 blend) it's REALLY thick - like a milkshake. For me personally, it's too thick. It's like drinking a milkshake with no flavor, but a strong stevia aftertaste. I think the best thing flavor-wise is monk fruit extract and little, if any, stevia. I really don't like stevia aftertaste and it's pretty much a dealbreaker. The Blogilates one is more expensive than this, so I was hoping since this one has monk fruit sweetener that I would like it as much/more. But I definitely don't. I wouldn't buy it again.

We had tried a few different protein powders out, both were milk based and left me feeling bloated with severe cravings. After reading up on this one, I decided to give it a try. We have used both the plain and vanilla bean flavors. The plain has 1g more protein and little to no flavor. I liked it, though I sometimes had to add a little extra sweetener into my morning drink. My husband passionately loves the vanilla bean flavor. I never have to add anything to my smoothie when we use vanilla bean plantfusion. The smell of it can be a bit sickeningly sweet. My husband says, "If you put sugar on your frosted flakes the vanilla bean protein is for you. If you think i'm crazy just for saying such a thing then i would suggest you go with plain." yep that about sums it up. vanilla as 1g less protein and 1 more carb. and its sweet, if i remember correctly, most of the other information lines up identically. I'd have to double check that statement. we drink it with a spinach shake, with natural peanut butter, half a banana, coconut water and almond milk. LOVE LOVE LOVE it this way. ohhh: unlike the other protein powders we had tried,which made me feel weighed down and caused cravings, this protein powder fills me with energy and satisfies me. I get a little sweet without wanting excessive amounts more. Infact, after having this for a few days, I noticed that my body felt lighter and there was significant less issues with my body. i did put the plain powder in lentils once, I was snoring within the hour. lentils don't play well with this powder unless you need help sleeping.

Little too sweet for me so I used less than a full scoop. Other than that it's quité good .

If I could give this plant protein powder 10/10 I would. Undoubtedly One of the best protein powders I have had the pleasure to use. Superb flavour, very easy to mix, and just magic for smoothies, and found to be one of the lowest for heavy metals, with negligible amounts. Certified suitable for vegans/vegetarians,if you haven't yet tried this,I can highly recommend. This is now my permanent go-to plant protein powder.

It's so fine which makes it so easy to blend and it becomes so creamy not watery with almond milk and I can't taste the stevia overwhelmingly like 99.9% of other plant protein. Best I've ever com across. Also my skin looks amazing ever since I started taking this and I think it might be from the amino acids.

I haven't been using it long enough to notice a difference healthwise, but the taste is fine. Good value for the price.
