NuzestPea Protein Powder - Clean Lean Protein, Premium Vegan Plant Based, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, GMO Free, Naturally Sweetened Protein Shake, Smooth Vanilla, 20 Servings, 1.1 lb

I heard about this protein powder in Instagram a year ago but was sceptical about trying it because it's so expensive for the number of servings AND because I'm not really a protein powder person.However, I wanted to try a pea protein powder for baking and I decided to get this one since people seemed to like it. I can see how the bulk and consistency of this powder would be perfect for baking, that said, I'm certainly not going to be baking with this!!! It's way too nice and way too expensive to hide in baked goods. Oats hurt my stomach and I've missed the routine of having a warm mush/pudding/porridge type thing in the morning. This protein powder mixed with a little warm water has restored to me that morning mush routine. I think people call it protein pudding but it's the same thing. This is now my breakfast cereal and it's so filling in a pleasant way, not in a bloating sensation sort of way. If you're fancy, I suppose you could add in some (almond) milk or cream or nut or Seed butter but really it's really good with just water. I haven't had it in a smoothie yet because I like it so much as a warm breakfast pudding but if you're a smoothie person, this will give you a super thick and creamy smoothie, I can tell from the consistency!CONS: There is a faint hint of pea odor but it's not unpleasant and I can see how if you have a really sweet tooth you may not find this super sweet. I have a moderate sweet tooth and I find this sweet enough. This powder is really too pricey, I mean I know the ingredients are high quality but still! That said, it's sooooo good, that it might become my monthly splurge!

I bought this protein powder because of the company's high purity standards. I use it in a morning smoothie along with organic blueberries and raw, unsweetened cocoa powder. While some people have complained about the taste, that's irrelevant in my case—the flavors of all the ingredients blend nicely.

Love this company! Simple ingredients, no crap, blends well in smoothies/oatmeal/hemp milk, and delicious!

I’ve been sampling lean vegan protein powders across the board to see if I can find one with an ideal calorie to protein ratio that my body responds to better than the whey I’ve used over the years.My personal priorities in a powder are: simple ingredients, natural sweeteners (if any), responsible sourcing, good for smoothies.I had really high expectations for this one (maybe my own fault), and ultimately felt it fell short, somewhere on middle ground. None of them have been perfect, but this definitely isn’t my favorite I’ve tried, and not my least favorite.The nutrient profile and ingredient list are 10/10 and check all of my boxes. No concerns there. One of the best options on the market in that regard (though there are others that can compete!)My issue comes down to flavor. I went with vanilla (same flavor as the whey I used in the past) and found it sweet, but not in a good way. I like some sweetness, but this is chalky... almost like a birthday cake flavored pepto bismol texture/aftertaste? Sorry that’s not a pleasant comparison. Either way, the flavor profile is nonexistent aside from this forced/unnatural tasting sweetness, and I think that’s what turned me off the most.The texture is pretty good, again, still dense/chalky but I find that with 90% of vegan protein anyway. Worth it for the nutritional and environmental benefits of vegan sourced protein.Overall, I probably won’t buy this one again because of personal preference. I think I’m more sensitive to sweetness than others and tend to prefer earthy vegan flavors with added nature-made sweeteners in my smoothies (fruit). I can see some preferring this flavor and based on the ingredients and nutrient profile, I think it’s well worth the investment if that’s the case.

The vanilla taste is not great, but if you ignore that it’s a good protein powder with clean ingredients :)

I have been buying this protein powder for a while, and will try others, but keep coming back to this one. The taste is great, not too sweet and strong, it's a nice sweetness and flavor. Mixes well in a shaker bottle and in smoothies. Ignore these reviews where people complain about the taste/mixing, I swear people expect absolute perfection and not realizing your mixing a powder into a liquid. Everyone has different tastes (some like sweeter, some like less sweetness), some want perfect mixing without any hint of a protein powder...well don't drink protein powder get the premixed drinks. If you're familiar with protein powder, this one has clean ingredients, great nutritional value, great taste, mixes easily (as long as you shake it well/blend it well it's fine).Amazon sells it for a good price, and on the company website they sell this one and the @lilsipper version as well which is great too. Sometimes they will have sales/deals on their site, which is worth checking out.

This is the worst tasting protein powder that I have ever tried. It is supposedly vanilla flavor but it doesn’t taste anything like vanilla. It is also extremely grainy. I will not buy it again. My husband likes the chocolate flavor, by the way.

Great product by the second day felt good energy
