Bulk Pea Protein Isolate Powder, Vegan Protein Shake, Vanilla, 500g

Great value got money! I bought this after looking for a vegan protein powder that was decent and this is it. The flavour is decent (vanilla) and mixes well into oats and yoghurt. Ive had it even with water as a shake and it was fine, mixes well and is smooth. Of course it's not mind blowingly delicious, it's protein powder! But it's really decent and I will be purchasing again for it's effectiveness and value for money.

On the face of it this seems like a good deal: a large quantity of vegan protein powder for a decent price. However, the taste is so bad that I couldn't drink even a quarter of a serving of it, it's just ghastly. I can't make myself consume this, it tastes like vomit (and may actually make me vomit if I tried to drink it all) It doesn't matter how good the price is if the product is so disgusting you can't even use it. This is the first time I've bought a Bulk product and it will be the last - I'm guessing it's cheap because they're struggling to get rid of this slop. Atrocious taste and terrible value for money in the sense that it's completely unusable so it doesn't matter how little it costs.

I see a lot of negative reviews for this product which are very unfair. Yes, this powder tastes horrible when mixed with just water (or as one reviewer tried, coffee?). Complaining about this is like buying turmeric and complaining that it makes your strawberry milkshake taste weird. It is unflavoured protein that has been extracted from peas, it tastes exactly like it sounds. When you start using it as an ingredient in other things, however, it is much much better. I have found this protein powder to be very well suited to things that other powders are not. For instance, whey protein congeals into disgusting lumps when mixed into any hot liquid, but pea protein does not. I like to mix it into spicy soups, which the savoury pea flavour works very well with. If you want to use it in shakes, you definitely need to add sweetness (unless you want a savoury shake?). My current protein shake recipe is to blend a scoop of this powder with milk, frozen berries, an egg and a pinch of sucralose (bulk powders sells this too). I actually prefer this to the version made with whey protein (unflavoured). I've not tried it with almond milk or vegan alternatives to milk, but it will probably work too. Adding a banana will make the shake thicker and creamier too. I will continue to buy this powder, and also will continue to buy whey protein, and as a rule of thumb, use the whey in sweet recipes and the pea stuff for anything savoury. If you want something that you can just mix into water and shake, don't get this, get one of the flavoured powders.

Not a great taste but it’s not awful . Yes it does taste like wet powder

Good quality product and brilliant value for money. Easy to measure and dissolves easily in a shaker. It has a lot less foam than other brands. Slightly silky texture which some may not appreciate, but doesn't bother me. The powder does have a bit of an unpleasant flavour, as do all pea protein powders. I just swallow holding my breath and don't taste at all. I shake this first and wait for the foam to dissipate, and then add a scoop of AG1, and consume within 30 minutes of waking as per the Slow Carb diet / Four Hour Body. Gives good and reliable energy early in the day.

As a pea protein, I was expecting the taste to be pretty bland and it certainly is, doesn't taste like vanilla at all, only tastes of sweetener. However, mixes quite well with water/dairy free drinks and makes nice and thick shakes with other add-ons (sugar free syrup, flavorings, coffee, peanut butter, fruits...). Bland taste means I can add this to anything and everything - I have used it to make protein shakes, pancakes and bakes so far, and worked surprisingly well. Keeps you full for hours! Value is great too. I would recommend.

Wow this powder was really good tastes well to

Have to say firstly am astounded by the positive reviews, secondly this is my first taste of a protein powder. Now that I am an over 50 female I am learning that it is a good idea to find ways to include more protein in your diet and honestly its not always so easy to do on a daily basis and also having a dairy & gluten intolerance can make things tricky. I have been reading up about adding protein powder to smoothies porridge etc... I admit the price is great & that it is made of pea but i'm sorry it tasted disgusting. I added a small scoop to a banana, peanut butter smoothie and it was soooo sweet and had a synthetic taste from the stevia despite stevia being a natural sugar, I just do not like it. It was also very chalky and gritty despite using a powerful blender. I was so excited to try this but I struggled to finish my smoothie. It sadly went in the bin. I just could not face having this on a daily basis.

great, good flavour and not tiring

Sabor banana no muy bueno, frío se tolera mejor. La digestibilidad es buena

Protéines végétales qui se dissolvent bien dans un peu d'eau, mais l'arôme banane est absolument immonde c'est imbuvable, clairement plus jamais cet arôme chez moi

Proteine ottime, personalmente tra le migliori che abbia provato sia come sapore che come solubilità.
