NOW Sports Nutrition, Pea Protein 24 G, Easily Digested, Unflavored Powder, 12-Ounce

Nice product but price high

I’ll start off this review with a startling and unbelievable statement—I’m a bodybuilding Vegan. It’s been almost ten years since I climbed over the piles of rotting meat and dairy products, and I haven’t looked back since my blood pressure dropped to 115/75 and cholesterol level plummeted seventy points to 150. Triglycerides? A double-digit number. Not bad for a 60 year-old who eats tofu and vegetables, benches 225, squats a ridiculous 500lbs. and doesn’t indulge in dangerous experiments with needles. Was it easy to make this transformation? No. The food choices available from the start were limited, at least until I did the research. NOW Foods Sports Nutrition has not only made this transition easier with a few mouse clicks, it’s given other Vegans what they need, inexpensive quality protein and carbohydrates. This product, Pea Protein, is what it says, an easily-digested protein from peas, and I’ll use anywhere from 50-100g a day, depending on my routine. It works fantastic. Not bad for one ingredient. You may have noticed I mentioned NOW also makes a carbohydrate supplement. It’s called Carbo Gain. But why mention it here? As many have seen, there are way, waaaay too many one-star reviews for this protein product mixing bad and tasting like chalk. I believe one person declared in dramatic fashion “IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD. So, so, so bad” and concluded it’s mixability was “0/10”. <slaps forehead> It’s described as unflavored. It’s not going to knock you off your feet like a great-tasting Vegan pizza. Any protein powder with no other ingredients is going to taste like chalk. What they need is a little help. One day—in-a-hurry-to-get-to-work act of desperation—I tossed ½ cup of this pea protein into a 48oz. container half-full of distilled water along with ½ cup of Carbo Gain. To my surprise—once covered—it mixed completely with some energetic shaking and—Wow!—the chalky taste disappeared. Not bad for a complete bodybuilding shake. I’ve also tried this with filtered tap water, and it still mixed without problems—I believe distilled makes it smoother and taste better, but it’s not necessary. Try this recipe with some creatine powder tossed in and it will still mix without problems. You can’t beat it for the overall cost, convenience and the 500lb squats you’ll get out of it. Ok, you’ll have to work on the last part yourself. Have fun!

It is as expected, sugar-free and plain. It's pea protein, don't expect it to be anything like whey protein. Texture is as what pea protein should be, no surprises. If you're unsure what's it like, try mashed boiled peas and that's almost what this product is like minus any sweetness.

I want to buy this every month ... I love it especially for those who have lactose intolerance.. This is a must ..

Excelente producto, excelente precio para el volumen de producto que incluye... Sabe a rayos si solo acostumbras tomar tu proteina con agua o leche, ya que no tiene agregados saborizantes ni azucares o endulcorantes. Muy recomendable si sueles tomar tu shake integrando frutas y/o miel y/o semillas, u otros ingredientes que le aporten sabor a tu mezcla. No causa diarrea como a muchas personas nos causa el suero a base de leche. No note ninguna contraindicacion desde que empece a tomarla...
