We have used this protein powder for years! We love the flavor, it mixes easily with water and it has the right amount of nutrients for us. Wish has a tad less sodium but we will stick with this!I love this stuff, my body is sensitive to whey based proteins & discovered this brand at my local juice/ smoothie shop! So happy I found it on Amazon. I can use this in smoothies/ drinks to get my daily protein & it doesn’t make me nauseous! I can keep it down & it tastes good!!! Going to set up subscribe & save order to always have it on hand!If you want something that tastes really good, this isn't it. There are a number of plant-based protein shakes that taste better. However, if you are looking for a really good deal on a high quality plant-based protein shake that is pretty OK in taste, you've found one. I like it best in water - the cocoa doesn't dissolve well in almond milk (I just use a spoon - other methods probly have better results). The flavor is pretty neutral, so it makes a good smoothie base.I really like that this has protein from not only brown rice and peas, but also hemp, chlorella, and cranberry. It also thickens up nicely and keeps me full for a long time.I am going to repurchase, despite being OK at best flavor-wise. I'm about 25 servings in and it is growing on me. The price and nuitrition are right and it will be one of the 3 or 4 plant-based protein powders I keep on hand.This is the first powdered protein I've tried after switching to non-whey proteins. I decided to stop using whey once I began to get sick from it (minor lactose intolerance) and have since been looking for a good substitute.After a lot of research, I found Plant Head and have been using it for about a month and a half. I really like how the vanilla taste comes out, not too gritty and easy to mix into yogurt, smoothies, etc. I usually have it every other day in my Blender bottle and miz it with almond milk, water, and a little stevia. Makes for a great snack or post-workout on the go.The one downside is that once it gets wet, it tends to get a little globby and stick to the sides of the bottle, but this can be avoided if the bottle is dry before putting the powder.Overall, not bad!Coming from whey protein's, my sister recently gave me her tub of Vega plant based protein (chocolate banana flavor). It was 17 servings for $35 -20grams of protein per serving. To me that was extremely expensive coming from 30 servings for the same price with brands like ON or ISOpure. From researching I found out that Vega was one of the most popular brands out there but I wanted to try an alternative cheaper option.So I go on Amazon and find Planthead, $20 for 30 servings which decent nutrition(a bit lower on the protein side- 15grams per scoop) but I was like why not give it a go. It's been a week of using it and...Pro's-Affordable/ Pretty good ingredient profile/ Excellent logo and design on the jug.Con's-Flavor is funky, a mixture of grass and chocolate( I guess that's what you should expect for plant based)Lower protein than othersOverall its ok, will I buy again? Probably not but thats because I still drink whey based/ do not have a vegan diet. If you are purely a Vegan or want to add some plant based protein in this is something to definitely consider.This protein powder has been a great alternative to whey protein.While it does not have as many grams of protein per serving as other types (15g in comparison to 27 or 30+,) it still provides the minimum of protein I need after a workout or when I get up in the morning. The best part: it tastes GOOD. It isn't pasty or powdery when mixed, and I'm just using a blender bottle to mix it. The flavor is very full.I use coconut milk or almond milk to mix it, but have used water in a pinch and was NOT left with a bad taste in my mouth. It still was great! The chocolate is a little thicker than the vanilla version and requires a little more liquid to mix, which doesn't detract from the product for me.Bonus: less protein farts! Your mileage may vary on that part.The delivered product was as advertised and EARLY ... good jobI've tried several non dairy ,vegan protein powders. This is the best by far. It mixes well with whatever non-dairy milks I use, it has a slightly sweet, pleasant taste. It has a good consistency; not thick and clumpy, nor is it grainy. Some powders I've tried in the past have given me a stomach ache, I have never had a problem with this one. I have purchased both the vanilla and the chocolate. The vanilla is best. The chocolate doesn't really have a true rich chocolate taste. I've had to add a little cocoa powder to my smoothie to get a deeper chocolate taste. Overall it's a great product.
