Nutrition - Pea Unflavored 5 Lbs. 167483

I originally checked this out because whey protein was giving me bloating and a lot of mucus, and honestly this has been the best non-dairy protein source I’ve tried for the price. The nutrition is great, the ingredients are simple, and it works perfectly in smoothies. A lot of people complain about the taste, but I honestly think those people are expecting it to taste sweet like whey protein. This is unflavoured pea protein, so of course it has more of an earthy/neutral taste. I mix it into smoothies with spinach, bananas, peanut butter, or almond milk and I barely notice it. If you already make green smoothies or protein shakes, the flavour really isn’t a problem at all. What I like most is how easy it is on digestion. Whey always made me feel bloated, but this one sits way better in my stomach and doesn’t give me any issues after workouts. It’s also convenient because you can throw it into shakes, oatmeal, or recipes for extra protein without adding a bunch of artificial ingredients or sweetness. Mixing is best in a blender or smoothie. I probably wouldn’t drink it plain with water because it is a little chalky on its own, but blended with other ingredients it tastes completely fine. One small thing: the scoop sizing is a bit redundant since the serving says 2 scoops. I usually just do one large scoop because it ends up being about the same amount anyway. Overall, if you want a clean, affordable, non-whey protein powder that’s easy on the stomach and great for smoothies, I highly recommend this. Hope this helps.

Sigan con su calidad de proteína, las personas que se quejan del sabor deben saber que es precisamente porque es una proteína de calidad que no tiene nada agregado que disfrace su sabor.

Absolutely horrible taste. Tasting it on its own, it's a little salty / savory. It also has a somewhat pasty texture out of the container. When mixed in liquid, the chalky taste never goes away. You can add all kinds of flavors to mask the taste, but the chalkiness never goes away. Had 2 servings...sadly, ready to throw it out.

Es proteína y es de buena calidad pero le doy dos estrellas porque el sabor de la proteína es muy malo. Terminé tirando el bote sin siquiera llegar a la mitad. A pesar de esto, Naked es muy buena y le daré una segunda oportunidad a la proteína de Naked pero ahora de Whey

Honestly, I wasn't sure about this because so many reviews state that the flavour is REALLY bad -- it's not?? I don't get what that's all about because it just tastes like powdered peas if it had less flavour. Obviously it's not going to taste sweet because it's unflavoured, but it's not an overly bitter taste, if much taste at all. It's perfect for blending into matcha, teas, or slow cooker recipes to add extra protein into my diet. It hardly adds any taste difference to my teas or recipes; I don't notice a difference. Taste: Slightly chalky, minimally bitter. If you don't like the minimal taste that it has, just mix it with some cacao powder or vanilla, or something that has a more potent flavour to it. Mixing Quality: I find it easier to mix into my drinks with an electric milk frother and not by shaking it or using a fork. If I'm putting it into cooking recipes, it just dissolves on its own. Expiration Date: It's expiration date is set to December 2026, which gives me over 1.5yrs to consume it. That's fairly good. **Also, I have a weak stomach and find it hard to digest certain foods. This has never given my stomach any issues with pain or bloating. Actually, it's one of the better protein powders I've tried for my weak stomach. I've had some issues with the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey which was recently the best one I've tried, but this definitely beats that in concerns with being more easily digestable.
