Bulk Vegan Protein Powder, Vanilla, 1 kg, Packaging May Vary

Is it so powdery, even mixed in things, it has a horrible taste and texture. It coats your mouth in a film of powdery yuk and is disgusting 🤮

So I've bought pea protein in the past (from Bulk) and holy hell did it taste bad. I was a little worried that this would be the same, thankfully though the difference is galaxy's apart (I still shudder thinking of the taste of pure pea protein.) It's a little too sweet for my taste, even after adding cocoa powder, but it's very drinkable and I'd recommend it for sure.If, like me, you've just watched Game Changers and are looking to try out the lifestyle, then this is worth a try for your protein shakes.Edit: Forgot to mention that I bought the vanilla flavour. I also use a blender (get yourself a Breville Blender, they're cheap and do the job nicely), so I had no issues with mixing.

Look, protein powder needs to do 3 simple things: blend well with liquid, not be awful and be easy to digest.This thing fails on all fronts.Good luck trying to mix it with water / milk, all you'll get are a bunch of lumps in your bottle. The texture, too, is absolutely awful: I have 1 scoop of protein with my porridge in the morning, and this thing turned it into a slimy lumpy soup. Even when you drink it just with water or milk, it feels like you're drinking plaster.The flavor is just bad; I bought the vanilla one and I struggled to recognise it to be honest. Sure, better than those extra-chemical vanilla flavors, but this barely taste like anything.Finally, I also felt it was a lot heavier on my stomach than the standard whey proteins. I'll definitely stick to those.

It has a very artifical vanilla flavour, but the texture is ok, not too gritty like some protein powders

I have found that the prices for Bulk's protein powders can vary wildly based on flavour alone; one that is about £12/kg can suddenly become £20/kg when it's time to reorder. As such, I look around and buy whichever is cheapest at the time. This time it was the vegan powder, vanilla flavour. It was the first time I'd tried a shake based on pea protein. The reviews were mixed, with some saying it tastes horrible and is grainy. I don't care - it serves a purpose and enjoyment isn't top of the list. As it happens, I love it. The taste is biscuity; think plain digestive or perhaps custard cream. The powder seems to disperse and create a 'suspension in solution' rather than dissolve. This does indeed make for a thicker-than-water drink with a powdery feel. This I enjoy too. It's not much different from being creamy and I do look forward to drinking it. I would like to buy this one again when it runs out but I see that the price has already jumped from £11.96 to £21.92. Hopefully it will come down again.

Firstly, for a Vegan protein powder, this is a good product. It is a finely milled powder, with a smooth texture. It mixes well (in with porridge), and any lumps are easily dispersed. The Vanilla flavour is good (like vanilla ice-cream). The list of ingredients are impressive. The protein content is at about the right level. The Vanilla flavoured one is not at all sickly (unless you really don't like any hint of sweetness).Secondly, the Stevia! Stevia sweetener does have an unpleasant aftertaste, which is noticeable in this product, if it is not mixed with something else (such as porridge, or fruit such as a banana etc....). The taste of the Stevia was too much for me, and the product ended up in the bin! Am now using USN 100% Pure Plant Protein Powder, which is so much better!.

I have tried my different protein powders - whey and vegan. I wanted to switch to vegan to be more environmentally friendly but most of them taste so chalky. This is the first one I've tried that isnt chalky and actually mixes into my porridge like whey does. Very impressed. Its not as sweet as whey flavoured ones but I actually prefer that. I bought Vanilla.

The flavour is ok. I mix with oat milk ice and bananas. Tastes nice and very filling. Very thick and powdery. Makes me feel really sick which is a shame.
