"I researched several vegan protein powders and decided to give this a try. Using a handblender, soymilk and a banana, it blends well. I combine it with hemp powder, rice protein powder and Vegan complete...tbsp of each. I feel it provides me with a good mix of nutrients and most especially the protein. When I don't feel like the banana and soymilk, I hand mix the powders (excluding the hemp) with water and can still tolerate a full glass. It makes a great addition or meal replacement. I drink it for breakfast every morning. I'm not taking the minimum serving amount so I don't know how this would blend alone. But I'm very happy to have found a nondairy protein source as I'm not a very good eater in general and have trouble getting the proper amount of protein daily."

An ideal vegan alkalizing protein source, September 30, 2009
By Vida

Quality:		5 out of 5
Effectiveness:		5 out of 5
Satisfaction:		5 out of 5

"If what I've read is true, pea protein is alkalizing - unusual amongst protein sources. Many professional shake products combine pea protein with rice protein and soy. As I want to avoid soy, I use this alone or with rice protein powder. I like the taste fine, and even use it as a 'creamer' for my coffee (mixing it in a blender)."

"I love the Pure Advantage Vanilla Whey protein but the Pea Protein was soooo nasty tasting! I thought that the vanilla should have masked the pea taste much more than it did. Disgusting!"

"This powder is VERY fine, like flour. I tried to buy another brand at a store because the advantage brand is not carried regularly at stores in my area, and the other powder was very gritty in the shakes, horrible. This powder, no texture in shakes. Tastes great! Definitely worth the extra money."

"I love this Pea Protein, the flavor is delicious (I mix it with chocolate soy or rice milk). It easily helps me fill all my protein needs and it has very high quality ingredients unlike many of it's competitors. This one really is worth the couple extra dollars."

"Great vegan alternative to whey protein after a workout. Tastes much better and creamier than any other pea protein I've ever tried. Also, just a tip - great when you add a little bit of groud flax to your shake!"

"I looked all over for a purely vegetarian protein supplement that did not contain soy (which a lot of people are allergic to), or any dairy source, or even rice since I'm trying to avoid starches. Taste isn't too bad, but I added almond butter (similar to peanut butter, but less likely to spur an allergy) and almond milk or hemp milk. Definitely worth a try if you want to stick to a vegetarian or no carb diet, but need that protein shake as an easily accessible meal supplement."
