KOS Plant Based Protein Powder, Chocolate USDA Organic - Low Carb Pea Protein Blend, Vegan Superfood with Vitamins & Minerals - Keto, Soy, Dairy Free - Meal Replacement for Women & Men - 15 Servings

I love this protein powder. It is not chalky, it mixes really well and is not clumpy, whether you're just using water and a shaker ball or you're blending it in a blender with milk, you can add frozen banana or coffee ice cubes for a frappe, the ingredients are stellar, it doesn't cause any indigestion or stomach upset. It has digestive enzymes and prebiotics. It is organic and I love it.

First off, this is one of, if not the best tasting 100% plant-based vegan protein powders that I’ve tried...without any bloat! It mixes evenly with water, almond or coconut milk, and is a great addition to any smoothie. My favorite and most satisfying smoothie thus far; has been throwing a banana, cup of coconut milk, a handful of berries, a heaping tablespoon of almond butter and 2 scoops of KOS chocolate protein powder. It’s simply delicious and i find it hard to not drink the whole thing without setting it down...and my toddler loves it too! Yesterday morning I made sweet potatoes pancakes with a free-range egg, half a banana, handful of blueberries, dash cinnamon, sprinkle of dried coconut, 1 scoop of KOS chocolate protein, and a medium sized sweet potato. It might be my new go-to breakfast, post workout meal replacement with protein or after dinner healthy “dessert”. I just checked out the KOS website and downloaded their “Organic Guide to Vegan Protein”...take a look as it has some great recipe ideas. I’m planning on picking up the ingredients to make the “Chocolate Almond Protein bars” and the “Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding” ASAP. Without writing a novel, i just wanted to make one more note about the quality of ingredients as it is VERY important to me as I have an Autoimmune disease that I control solely through diet. I LOVE that this protein powder is not only USDA Organic, but is also NON-GMO, gluten, soy and dairy free with pure and REAL ingredients. I often find that plant-based protein powders can cause excessive bloating, but it seems that the added digestive enzymes are doing their job in preventing this and allowing my body to absorb all the beneficial vitamins and nutrients. I will be definitely be ordering another chocolate and look forward to trying the vanilla flavor as I love both chocolate and vanilla. KOS has a “100% Satisfaction Guarantee”, which is great, but i assure you that I won’t be sending them anything back and will be ordering more on a regular basis. Hopefully they set up a “subscribe and save” option on amazon soon;)

I am fairly new to the protein shake scene although I have tried a few other brands. Needless to say I thought they were disgusting - I'm not a picky eater at all - but the search to find one that worked for me led me here. First, let me say that most protein shakes or meal replacements I've used are WAY too sweet - we don't need that in our protein shakes or meal replacements. I found this particular brand to have just the right amount of sugar - and I always have a sweet tooth - so it wasn't too sweet and not under sweetened for me. Since it's plant based protein, and is fibrous (I wouldn't describe it as grainy like some meal replacements) this naturally makes it difficult to mix unless you use a BLENDER. So yes, use a blender and this will work much better than trying to shake the ingredients together. If you're ok drinking tiny chunks or the feeling of a wad of plant fibre on your tongue, then do you. It's just a consistency preference. Even blended you're going to feel the "pulpiness" in your mouth. The problem, too, is that even if you use a blender and don't drink it right away, and instead allow it to sit for several minutes (if you're a slow drinker) the ingredients WILL separate. But, this is a decent thickness shake. The fact that the flavour is chocolate and that it's not too sweet helps with the palpability of the drink. I'm satisfied with the ingredients and the fact that they seem pretty clean. I didn't like the idea that there were added probiotics - but I guess a little extra in my diet won't hurt. What I love about this product is that there is no erythritol, gluten or soy, and no artificial flavours or colours (according the the label) and the fact that it is GMP certified AND deemed USDA organic. That being said, "organic" is over-rated because that just means that none of the ingredients have been treated prior with synthetic pesticides - however, the growers of the plants used in the product can still use pesticides that aren't synthetic - like neem oil, pyrethrin from flowers, or certain mineral-based sprays. Everyone thinks "organic" means no pesticides - not true. Certainly the latter isn't nearly as bad for us, but these food items still are not 100% organic in the way most people think - completely free of sprays, etc. So, that fact along with the blendability not being great, makes me feel like this is pretty pricey - it's over $30 for only 20.6 ounces. Even on the subscription it still remains pricey because it doesn't save you a significant amount. One (1) serving - per the directions - requires TWO scoops of the protein powder. If we do the math, that only gives us roughly 9 shakes, with about 3/4 of a cup of powder left over. Essentially, that's $3.33 per shake and I would not consider this KOS "high end" because of the factors mentioned above. Therefore, my opinion is that this product is overpriced by no less than $10. That may not sound like much but to stay "in stock" and ahead to have your protein shakes all month, this would require buying 4 containers a month, which comes out to $120 a month for a dang plant drink. Considering the cost of life, when you break it down like that, who can afford to consistently use this product at that price? If you buy 4 containers per month to stay "in stock" and have your drinks each day of the month for 12 months (an entire year) then you would be paying $1,440 for a simple protein drink. Wow. That's a lot. I can't justify that so I'll have to keep searching to find something more comparable. In case you're wondering, the seal was fine when mine arrived - it's just a piece of paper that's glued around the ring of the container much like when you open a jar of spices. If you can afford KOS, more power to you - you will probably like it, but for my workouts it's a "luxury" I can't sustainably afford.

I've been thru many protein powders, especially vegan ones thar are also soy and GF. I was worried about trying this because I couldn't sample first, and I'm so glad I found this stuff. It's not chalky like the stuff I've tried before. I like the consistency of the pre-made shakes from the store, but if course those are more expensive. The trick I've found for a very smooth drink is this protein powder + unsweetened Ripple milk + a little water and blending blending BLENDING in a magic bullet for a good 30 seconds, makes it so creamy and silky. For a boost of yum, I also like to blend with a very small amount of peanut butter and a dash of cinnamon. This is the best protein powder out there, and I think it's worth investing in a bullet to really blend this. The one thing I'm bummed about is the cost difference between the chocolate flavor and the mocha or caramel flavors.

Great clean formula with fabulous taste. After trying many different protein powders, this is my favorite!!!
