Growing Naturals Raw Pea Protein Powder, Vegan Plant Based Protein, BCAA, Low-Carb, Low-Sugar, Original Unflavored, 1 Pound (Pack of 1)

I have a strict diet do to some GI issues, and I've been looking for a protein powder that had a high amino content without the junk. I can't do whey protein either. This is the first protein I've used that doesn't make me feel bloated or over full. I also appreciate how it's raw without sugar or artificial stuff. You can add your own sugar or stevia or splenda or whatever. I mix it in my nutri bullet with stevia, cocao and sometimes a green apple - tastes awesome. It does mix well, but you do need to add something other wise it's not that tasty. You could try the vanilla blast version if you're worried about taste, but like I said you can start raw and make it whatever you want.

I had been searching for something to my morning smoothies (1/2-1 cup frozen fruit, 1 cup greens, 1 cup plant-based milk, 1 T chia seeds, 1/4 cup oatmeal) to add more protein without too many added calories/fat. I also wanted to avoid all of the chemicals and other additives in traditional protein powder, and preferred a plant-based option. I had been using silken tofu for a while, but it is not consistently available in my grocery store. This does just the trick. I add half a scoop to my morning smoothie and have an added boost. The first time I used this product I used a full scoop and was really turned off by the taste, but since then I only add half a scoop. I can taste it in some variations (of fruit combinations) and not in others. I know that the flavored kinds probably taste better, but for me, the added benefits of a clean and natural protein source makes the taste worth it.

I don't typically purchase protein powders because most of them upset my stomach or they taste bad. I like this one for smoothies. It has yet to upset my stomach. It doesn't have any grainy taste to it. It isn't chalky like many of them. And it doesn't have any distinguishable flavor, so it goes with anything you want to add it to. It is also very filling. If I am making a smoothie for a snack, I have to make sure that I don't use it a whole scoop or I won't want to eat dinner. I highly recommend this product.

I've been looking for an all grown/processed U.S./Canadian protein powder with a low-glycemic index along with a balance of essential amino acids and found this to be a good product that meets all my needs! Here is my smoothie recipe if you're looking for something that taste good and has nutritional benefits for most food diets: 1 tablespoon Country Spoon Montmorency Red Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate 34 oz (read label for benefits); 2 tablespoons Growing Naturals Pea Protein Powder Original, 32.2 Ounce (high protein, low-glycemic & all originated and processed in U.S. & Canada); 4 or 6 frozen/fresh strawberries & 1 frozen/fresh banana; 1 or 2 teaspoons of Bragg organic apple cider vinegar (read the label for it's many benefits); 8 ounces of Silk Almond Unsweetened Milk (almonds are a low-glycemic food, also read label for it's benefits); 1 tablespoon of coconut cream (optional for low GI index diets) 1 cup of ice. Cheers!

This was recommended by a functional medicine practitioner as an alternate source of protein for a dairy, soy, and brown rice intolerant stomach. It’s fine if you mix it with something flavored, like frozen blueberries or mashed pumpkin. It can be used in a pinch as a food substitute when mixed with plain water, if you don’t care about flavor.

This is a wonderful Pea Protein, it mixes better than the Now one and product of Canada or USA and it taste better. BUT Some how instead of the original UNFLAVORED that I always order I got vanilla sweatened with stevia. I am one of the unlucky ones that my digestive track HATES stevia.,... Depending on the way the stevia is processed It can cause a diverticulitis flare up. So not a product I want to use. Just got a notice this product can not be returned.

I love this protein powder. I mix it in to my morning oatmeal, or to other meals where I want a protein boost. I don't want sugar or added flavorings, just plain. The 'pea' flavor isn't that strong, but including a bit of other flavor such as cinnamon for oatmeal or other herbs and spices for other meals, is more than enough to cover it. The only problem I have with the supplier is that this original unflavored version is often out of stock, so if you want this flavor, make sure to stock up with an extra month's worth.

The taste was very nice. It blended well and has a nice combination of Amino Acids. Problem was it made my heart race. I talked to my dr. and his assistant and they also had the same symptoms. Sorry I can't send it back for a refund.

I really like this product in terms of taste and quality of ingredients. If you're not used to it, the smell and flavour might be slightly unpleasant at the beginning. However, it can be sprinkled in your breakfast, smoothies or pancakes, for example, and it blends really well.

exactly as expected

Smooth but does not taste great on its own.
