The only reason I'm giving 3 starts and not 5. I used to but this product regularly, than it was out of stock for a while, and since it is back, I believe something is changed in the formula and it tastes different. It is still a delicious powder with great price point. Just wish to be informed if item is slightly different.

Title pretty much sums it up. I got the chocolate flavor and based on many reviews, I expected it to taste like the worst thing known to mankind. To my surprise, it was honestly not that bad. The texture took some getting used to at first, after a lifetime of using whey, but I got used to it pretty quickly. It reminded me of this Korean drink called 'misugaru'. I think that's why I wasn't completely repulsed by that grainy texture since it was already familiar to me. The only complaint I have is that it's SO powdery. Every time I scoop it up I make a mess on the counter top. But this is probably just the nature of rice/pea-based protein powder in general.

I have had vegan protein powders that taste a little better and mix a little better than this one does but for the price, this is hands down the best value. Taste wise it does have the sweetener taste but that is expected and I personally don't mind it. Texture wise it's a little more chalky than other powders I have tried but I rarely use it as a drink and more often use it in oats, baking etc so again I don't mind it. 

Mixes well, tastes fine, just wish it had more fiber

Whey protein hurts my stomach so I have been using vegan proteins for a while now. I was getting tired of the one I had so I decided to give this product a try. Sadly, this protein power mix was absolutely disgusting and I wish I never switched brands. Please save your money and do not buy this unless you enjoy drinking what tastes and feels like a blend of cardboard and chalk.

I've been a plant based weight lifter for a year and a half, and I have spent quite a lot on vegan proteins throughout my experience. Once I found the 5.5lb bag for this cheap, I gave it a go and needless to say, I am quite impressed. Just ordered two more bags because of how much I am saving and how great it tastes and mixes for a vegan protein. I just mix it with water, but I'm sure it would be great in a smoothie too. I highly recommend this one!  Tip for plant based lifters: mix this with creatine!

It has a bad taste right when you eat it, which you can still smell and taste hours later.

I was very excited to try the Vegan Blend! Unfortunately, the taste was awful and texture was very chalky. I tried putting a banana, mixing in berries, peanut butter or even almond butter. I tried using coconut milk, almond milk, or even cashew milk and could not get this to taste even the least bit enjoyable. It was so strong couldn't mask it at all. I would not recommend this product.

It’s definitely alright. I don’t care for the taste (super artificial and overpowering) but it mixes fine and I’m sure it does it’s job. I bought it since I’m a vegetarian and my doc said I don’t get enough protein. The ingredients are all fairly nice, so I appreciate that.
