Olympian Labs Plant Based Pea Protein Powder, Vanilla - 25g of Protein, Vegan, Low Net Carbs, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, No Sugar Added, Soy Free, Non-GMO, 2 Pound Pea Protein

This stuff tastes great! Filled me up, which I'm actually not looking for - I use this to supplement natural foods and whey protein isolate - but didn't cause any GI problems at all. I didn't think it was mealy in the slightest, in fact it's a very fine powder that could be easily added in anything. I mixed mine in almond milk, but will be trying water next as this powder really thickens up quite a bit. My friend tried some and only used a little bit of water, he said it was like drinking Cream of Wheat. Personally, I am not fond of too-sweet drinks, and this protein supplement is tolerable for me. So far, I would definitely buy again!

My husband has a dairy allergy so trying to find a dairy free protein powder was challenging. This one is great! We even tried using a different one we got locally when I made a mistake and skipped this for one month of our subscribe and save and the powder we got locally was terrible so we made a special order just for this. Highly recommend! It’s filling but it doesn’t sit in your stomach like a ton of bricks. I also have digestive issues with a lot of protein powders and I don’t for this one.

Hello, I just received a shipment of the "new and improved" Olympian Labs pea protein in vanilla flavor, that I bought through Amazon.com. As soon as I opened the product and mixed for a drink I noticed a big difference from the protein I used to buy before. I am hugely disappointed in this new product. I have been using the pea protein for a year now, and I was happy I found a product that tastes good, agrees with me and it's affordable. I realized that not only the packaging that has changed, but the taste and ingredients changed too. Not sweet enough, the measuring spoon is bigger( I assume, because all the silicon dioxide that was added to the protein) and the silicon dioxide makes it taste weird and leaves an unpleasant feeling in my mouth. Not to mention that I really have to be careful when pouring, because it gets all over the counter and the air. Silicon dioxide is not a good thing to breath in as everyone knows. I'm sorry that the product had to be changed, I will have to look for another protein powder, because I will have to return this item to Amazon. Sincerely, Erika S.

Whey protein isolate is still king in terms of the complete BCAA profile and fast absorption rate, but for those looking to start experimenting with the amount of dairy products in your diet, I would recommend this as a great starting point. I'm not sure if pea protein is considered to be a complete protein or not, but so far it's the closest veggie-based protein I've had to the all-natural ON whey protein isolate I love so much. The taste (i had vanilla) is just fine and very comparable to vanilla whey, it mixes fairly well (way better than hemp protein, but still not as easily as whey even without all the instantizing additives), and you get about the same amount of protein per serving as whey (hemp is lower... and also just a horrible taste/texture in my opinion). The only downside to this pea protein is that it still never seems to mix in as smoothly as good ole whey. I've used it in a blender, with a hand-held battery-powered drink mixer, a milk frother, and just with a spoon, and no matter how thoroughly you mix it, there's still a very fine grain/sandy texture to it. Much less so then hemp, but not as smooth as whey. It's not really a big deal, and I'm already getting used to it. Give it a shot!

Finding a good source of protein for someone who has food allergies has been difficult and this product is an excellent source. I have it every morning for breakfast, mixed with Almond Milk, organic raw almond butter, flaxseed oil, and a Truvia packet. The shake is very filling and a good source of energy. I also mix the protein powder with coconut water and kale, spinach, mint, basil, cucumber and a Truvia packet for a healthy green shake...that is until I came to Amazon and found another product by the same company, Healthy Greens a hemp protein, and mixed it with the above. Both are very filling, tasty, and a good source of protein. Becoming a vegan has been easier to do and maintain with these products. Enjoy!

Great product for those looking for a natural alternative!!! I'm 38 years old and I'm always looking of a good protein drink. I found it with Olympian Labs. It has no cholesterol and 4grams of carbs, while packing 25 grams of protein. It doesn't have the best taste in the world but a spoon of Agave Nectar will rectify that issue. I have to make sure my cholesterol is in check; this product helps me do just that. Compared to what you find at GNC and other stores, the protein powders are packed with cholesterol. Just think if you're very active, how many drinks you would have to take a day, per week or in a month. That's a lot of cholesterol on top of what you would normally eat. This product is as natural as it gets and anyone who doesn't want to pollute their body will appreciate that.

I tried this pea protein powder because due to health considerations I had to stop using whey, egg, or soy protein powders. Though this product did taste appreciably better than a brown rice protein powder I had tried, it is clear to see why whey protein is so popular...the taste! Because I cannot have dairy products, sugar, or fruit the best recipe I could come up with to make a protein shake with this product was a combination of the powder, water, ice cubes, stevia, cocoa powder, and a little coconut milk. The flavor was fine, but the aftertaste was extremely chalky. To be fair, the egg protein and soy proteins weren't much better under such limitations. My sister (who can mix her pea protein with fruit) says it works for her with very little chalkiness.So it is a good alternative for vegans, I suppose. I will finish the canisters I purchased, but will try something else next time...maybe hemp, haven't given that a try yet.

I heard good things about pea protein for those with lactose tolerant problems, those that can't eat or drink dairy products, but need their protein, especially if you don't consume meat. Tried many other protein powder products, and always felt bloated. Decided try this Pea Protein which I mix with water and fruit for a nice morning breakfast smoothie. Not only it helps me with delivery of protein, but my stomach definitely tolerates the pea protein powder without being bloated!!! Great product, hope you can try it and expect the same results.

Have been using this product for years. Nice flavour and creamy consistency. Mixes well and easy to digest.

really wanted to try this product as I'd heard good things about it. Hopefully I can find another stockist. Shame!
