Pea Protein Powder - 5 Pound - Bulk Pure Supplement (Unflavored) – Mettle Pea Protein Isolate

I originally bought this product due to its protein to overall mass ratio (80%) and because it had exceptional price value for a 5 lb bag of protein. I had been using protein and isolate powders of many kinds (whey, soy, meat-based, etc) for over a decade now and I thought I would share my experiences with this particular one. To be clear, I could not care any less about the fact that it is "plant based", "GMO-free" or "organic": I buy protein for the protein contained therein and not the labelling on the package.Immediately, I found this powder to be extremely hard to dissolve in virtually any liquid at any temperature, compared to most other proteins I have used in the past. This includes water based beverages like freshly brewed tea, dairy beverages such as hot chocolate and mixtures such as fresh coffee+dairy milk.As with any protein, it helps to first bind the protein to granulated sugar in a 100% dry container with a vibrating table. The mixture should be 1:1 by volume for even dispersion. However, this only helps very little in the case of this powder even when the liquid is brought to near boiling (98-99°C).While the small amount of protein that does dissolve IS nearly tasteless, the large amount of sediment in the resulting suspension definitely isn't and is quite nauseating in large quantities. Consider an example of this in the included picture (coffee), noting the large layer of settled sediment on the bottom and the particulates stuck to the side of the glass bottle.In conclusion, if you're one of "those" that require an animal-free diet and will stomach almost anything, you might get away with this powder. Ethically, I personally see no difference between cultivating plants for harvest and raising animals for slaughter, but viewpoints tend to vary these days. However, if you find yourself free of such "dietary obligations", I would suggest you look elsewhere for your supplemental protein.

I have been using this product for about a week now and I am happy that it is unflavored and does not have an overpowering taste or smell. I tried it was a vanilla almond milk and it was fine just using a blender bottle. I believe to get it really smooth an electric blender would be better. I also think you could add it to a smoothie without changing the taste but add enough water as it makes stuff thicken. For the price it isn't bad and I use a BCAA supplement as I have read that the levels of BCAA is lower than for whey. It is very low in fat and zero cholesterol so worth the try. I also have none of the adverse effects that I have seen with milk based or even soy based types of protein powder.

Bought this with pretty high hopes as I usually make my protein shakes for work with 2 cups of Almond Milk, 1.5 scoops of Pea Protein powder, 2 cups Spinach, and either 1 cup of berries or 1 cup of yogurt and take it to work. In the past with prior Pea Protein powders, it tasted fine although I must admit I have pretty high tolerance for protein drinks as I have been drinking them for over twenty years now back to when Whey was first out. Anyway, this product just tastes really bad mixed. Just keep that in mind because the price is good but you dont get a lot taste wise.

I have tried so many different pea protein products over the years, and am very well versed with non-flavored powders. This one is just as good as anything else I’ve tried that have one ingredient listed (yellow peas). I am really happy to see that the value of this item is far better than anything else being sold, so all else being equal, this is a smart choiceNote the sodium content is a little high, but I haven’t noticed a flavor difference. Highly recommend.

Doesn't taste as nutty as some brands I've tried, but it doesn't have that bitter aftertaste that some do either. I'm storing mine in the freezer for the time being to reduce chances of spoilage--which has happened to me before with other brands (it might have something to do with the finicky zip-lock bags).it didn't come with a scooper, but this is not an issue if you're a fitness geek and have another protein powder lying around.

A little grainy but still palatable. I had never tried pea protein powder before but wanted to cut down on my dairy intake and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This product is unflavored so you mix with any flavor or fruit and you are good to go. Makes a good smoothie base. I will probably buy it again when out.

Its protein. Tastes like icky pea soup. Also it foams up terrible. I would discourage using this product unless you're a vegan.

This is my first time buying a pea protein powder. I bought it to make my own protein bars. That’s yet to perfect. As far as this powder I do use it with almond milk and 1 pack of stevia to make an appetite surpressing shake and it works well for me. It mixes easy and does not taste bad and I’m not doing anything fancy as I don’t want added calories.If you are looking for more flavor then you can add that just keep in mind that for me less is more so I keep it simple.

Ingredients taken at face value, this is a worthwhile product. Natural from peas and no fillers or aded sugars. So far, no adverse effects felt after multiple orders (both fr Amazon SG and direct from Amazon US). However, it would have been even better if the price is lower, especially from 2023 when GST is paybale on online orders and at 8%!
