   This is the best solution for the money and quality of protein it provides. Let me explain…
   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”. 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!

   No additives
   This product contains 24 g of protein per serving, has no additives or fillers or sugars. In fact, the only ingredient is yellow pea protein isolate. As such, it doesn’t taste great. It doesn’t taste bad, but it’s a little bit like sawdust. I don’t mind it at all because it does the job and I can down it really quickly. However, my doctor recently told me I needed to take vitamin c with my iron pill to help it absorb. So I’ve started mixing a half a cup of orange juice into this (protein powder, water, orange juice) and it’s simply delightful! I recommend this if you’re looking for something efficient, vegan, with no crappy sugars or flavorings or fillers added.

   Ummm what’s up with the crazy price increase?
   Okay, I’ll start out by saying that this is my first review. I have previously used Whey Isolate for over 15yrs, until I realized I was lactose intolerant about 3 years ago and that’s when the hunt for vegan/plant based protein powders started. I have purchased this item in the 12oz & 2lb both a couple of times each and 7lb I think 4 or 5 times. The product itself is good. Its a very fine powder, milled more finely than other plant based/pea powders I’ve tried in the past. Its best when used in a blender, as it this will get out any clumps (this tends to clump up if not mixed well) If you are new to this type of powder and are looking for something that tastes great, this is not it. Its bland, with no taste. To mix until smooth you have to use a blender, as I do. I mix with greens and fruit in AM and either almond milk, + powdered PB or fruit in PM. I enjoyed this product for its ingredients as it did not have artificial sweeteners, of artificial flavoring and the price point was great. I purchased in bulk because it was something I used every day and it kept the price per ounce down. I just went to reorder when I realized they increased the price considerably. My jaw dropped a little, not gonna lie. I’ve been subscribed to this item the price I paid was $40. The price currently is $66 for one time purchase and $56 for a subscription. I’m sorry but $16 increase in 2 months??? WHAT??? Unfortunately, I will have to find another protein powder to stock up on, and spend my money elsewhere. I’m really disappointed

   Good product
   Wish I would have noticed it was unflavored, it does however fulfill it’s claims except for the delicious part. Tastes like dirt with an iron supplement.

   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.
