NOW® Sports Pea Protein is a non-GMO vegetable protein isolate that has 24 grams of easily-digested protein. Each 1 scoop serving typically has over 4,200 mg of branched-chain amino acids, and over 2,000 mg of arginine.

Review: 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!
Review: Good stuff - Good stuff...yes it tastes bad but theres ways to make it taste decent - almond/oat milk, banana, honey in a blender and you wont even feel it Great alternative for non whey users

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the source for this?  Are the peas organic?  Are these peas from China?**
A: I was told that the peas are grown in the US and Canada but the product is processed in China. Now foods tests the product before and after the processing for metals, etc. Call Now if you have any doubt because of all these confusing answers! I did and I'm going to buy the product because they were helpful and answered all my questions, the phone number is 888-669-3663 and select Nutrition, I spoke to a very knowledgeable person

**Q: Why does your add say, "Whey protein has the highest protein."  I don't want whey, I want pea protein.**
A: The description on Amazon does have the statement about whey.  My guess is someone at Amazon entered the wrong info.  Per the container this is 100% Pure, Non-GMO Pea Protein isolate from yellow peas.  Also I can tell you I like peas but detest split pea soup.  I had to play around with the amount of this powder to use so I didn't feel like I was drinking pea soup.  From that, I know this is pea protein.  Hopes it helps.

**Q: Product is made in China?**
A: The tub says:  Product of China. Packaged in the USA.

**Q: is this product gluten free? my wife is celiac and even the possibility of cross contamination is a major proble.**
A: It clearly states on the bottle that it doesn't contain gluten or the other allergens, but it is manufactured in a facility that processes items that do contains those allergens. I think cross contamination is a definite concern if you are  sensitive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High concentration of protein, good price, hard to hide pea flavor
*by B***T on July 12, 2025*

I bought this, because I was trying to create a more filling breakfast parfait. Usually I use blueberries, greek yogurt, chia seeds, baking cocoa powder, and walnuts. I thought, "hey what a great way to add more satisfying protein". I like that Now Sports has one of the higher concentrations of protein in their powders, but ugh the pea taste cuts through. I am still experimenting with other options. Maybe peanut butter and cinnamon along with this. I am sure I will figure something out, but the taste is rather strong for my liking. This powder does mix fairly well, and while it thickens the Greek yogurt substantially, it doesn't become impossible to stir, just thick. The scoop size is great for the amount of protein and calories that I want to add, but it's perhaps too much for flavor. Also the plastic tub/bottle comes with about 1/3 air and 2/3's product. While they give you the same volume, I would prefer a smaller tub / bottle because it would store in our cabinets a little better. Overall, if you are going with an unflavored pea protein, this seems to be one of the highest concentrations that you can get for a reasonable price. Just make sure you have some recipes that can hide the flavor.
