Premium Plant-Based Protein Powder | Original Gold Standard Raw Pea Protein - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto Friendly | Muscle Recovery & Meal Replacement for Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts (Unflavored, 1lb Pack)

Ive ordered this pea protien because Im not allergic to anything in it. Ive order many times. The only this is its thick and powder is sort of static like. No teal f ll avor to vanilla which suits me fine.I’ve been using this pea protein powder for a couple of years now. It has an excellent vanilla flavor without being sweet and overwhelming. Mixes well in a blender with fruit and almond milk. I do wish it was a little cheaper and there was more in the container, as my husband and son also drink it. My son mixes it with coffee and milk. So, it doesn’t last long in my house!This protein has an odd taste so don’t add to much it and will not blend well into foods as it will clump up . it will mix into a smoothie if you use a blender. I won’t buy it again and will go back to my unflavored rice Protein.I love this protein powder. I mix it in to my morning oatmeal, or to other meals where I want a protein boost. I don't want sugar or added flavorings, just plain. The 'pea' flavor isn't that strong, but including a bit of other flavor such as cinnamon for oatmeal or other herbs and spices for other meals, is more than enough to cover it.The only problem I have with the supplier is that this original unflavored version is often out of stock, so if you want this flavor, make sure to stock up with an extra month's worth.I had been searching for something to my morning smoothies (1/2-1 cup frozen fruit, 1 cup greens, 1 cup plant-based milk, 1 T chia seeds, 1/4 cup oatmeal) to add more protein without too many added calories/fat. I also wanted to avoid all of the chemicals and other additives in traditional protein powder, and preferred a plant-based option. I had been using silken tofu for a while, but it is not consistently available in my grocery store. This does just the trick. I add half a scoop to my morning smoothie and have an added boost.The first time I used this product I used a full scoop and was really turned off by the taste, but since then I only add half a scoop. I can taste it in some variations (of fruit combinations) and not in others. I know that the flavored kinds probably taste better, but for me, the added benefits of a clean and natural protein source makes the taste worth it.I've been purchasing this product for years. It has a good taste and it's light. My only problem is with my last purchase the container was a little more than half full. I called the company to complain and I was told settling occurred. I don't believe that. I will order one more container. If it's the same results, I will not purchase that product again.I've been looking for an all grown/processed U.S./Canadian protein powder with a low-glycemic index along with a balance of essential amino acids and found this to be a good product that meets all my needs! Here is my smoothie recipe if you're looking for something that taste good and has nutritional benefits for most food diets:1 tablespoon Country Spoon Montmorency Red Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate 34 oz (read label for benefits);2 tablespoons Growing Naturals Pea Protein Powder Original, 32.2 Ounce (high protein, low-glycemic & all originated and processed in U.S. & Canada);4 or 6 frozen/fresh strawberries & 1 frozen/fresh banana;1 or 2 teaspoons of Bragg organic apple cider vinegar (read the label for it's many benefits);8 ounces of Silk Almond Unsweetened Milk (almonds are a low-glycemic food, also read label for it's benefits);1 tablespoon of coconut cream (optional for low GI index diets)1 cup of ice.Cheers!It was recommended to me by a dietician to start adding protein to my breakfast routine. I was told to find a protein drink with the right amino acids and not soy or dairy based. I did some research and settled on the Growing Naturals brand. I am very pleased it not only added energy to my mornings but it tastes great with plain unsweetened almond milk. The size I got has lasted me about 30 days as I don’t always mix a full glass. My 3 year old will also enjoy it some mornings with the unsweetened almond milk. It mixes well and tastes great. I would recxomwnd this to anyone with soy/dairy sensitivities or who just needs plant protein for a meal. It’s an easy way to cut carbs in the morning.exactly as expectedSmooth but does not taste great on its own.
