Myprotein has many many great products. This is not one of them.. The taste is so bad i would literally prefer eating someones feet than this. Tried making pancakes and it didn't work out. Cant judge on effectiveness . I through it away. Buy Whey instead..

Better than expected

Overall:

Yes it's minging - but it's an unflavored protein powder made from peas. What did you expect? It has a high protein content with low fat & carb making it ideal to repair muscle without consuming dairy. I mix 50g with 12g of peanut butter powder which actually makes it somewhat drinkable and it goes down pretty quick. It does smell like fish food when opening the bag but I'm not drinking it for the taste or for the smell it's solely to up my protein intake so all in all it does a fantastic job.

Tastes as expected

Overall:

Effectiveness:

Had to add a review of this product, since it's everything I expected. It's very easy to mix with water. As expected (due to the fact that there's no added taste), it tastes like mashed peas, maybe just a bit stronger. But even though the taste isn't chocolate or anything that good, it's very easy to drink fast (so you don't get the time to taste it) since the texture is quite good. And if you compare it to hemp or rice protein isolates, pea protein isolate is just much better taste and consistency wise. And protein wise I actually prefer peas, and like that it's vegan. I wonder if a teaspoon with powdered peanut butter might make it taste a bit better?

So my original post review was never published on the website but that was somewhat negative after only trying this product for a week. Originally, I couldn't bear the taste of this product but after a few weeks drinking it is a lot more palatable. The taste will require getting used to. The product mixes well in a blender and in a shaker, however, I would strongly advise using 2 scoops as it will just become thick cake mixture. Great amino acid profile and provides a great hit of protein whenever needed. You should really know the risk of buying unflavoured protein powder as it is not for everyone. However, if you don't want artificial sweetners and other various chemicals in your shakes then this is a great buy.

If you mix it into a smoothie is tastes just fine, you're drinking it to up your protein intake anyway so what does it really matter what it tastes like? Does the job!

This is the most horrible protein shake I have ever tried. I bought this product to try I find cheap with a decent amount of protein. The taste and texture is the worst and extremely horrendous. It ended up in the bin.

Inedible

This product is not good at all- bought a batch for ethical reasons but it’s really quite horrible and I’ve thrown the whole bag away. Tastes of nothing, but when blended with milk/water/almond milk or anything else it has a gritty nasty texture and an odd taste. Tried it with the chocolate flavour drops and even using 50/50 with flavoured whey, adding peanut butter, bananas and other fruits but all with the same result. I think when it comes to vegan or pea protein isolates it’s better to pay more for a higher quality- tried some from Form Nutrition which is 10 x tastier but also FAR more expensive. You can get away with this if you don’t drink a lot, but I’d recommend shutting your eyes, holding your breathe and downing the lot as quick as possible. Sorry Myprotein, not one of your best!

Mixed half and half with brown rice protein and really don't find the taste bad... Don't get the same bloat afterwards like I used to with whey protein, so I'm happy.

I have only just started using this protein shake. I used to have vegan blend. This protein shake tastes better, a bit earthy. It mixes well and it digests better. Vegan blend used to give me indigestion. It's too early to say what benefits it has.

Separating the men from the boys

Overall:

Taste:

Effectiveness:

If a tasty chocolate milkshake is what you're looking for, you're in the wrong place. This protein is the worst tasting drink I've ever had, except maybe some of the mixes procured during a round of ring of fire at university. It always has the aftertaste of the smell of fish food. That's all I can think to compare it to. However, it is indeed a protein shake and delivers with the same texture and consistency as any other, its taste tells me there are little to no additives or artificial sweeteners in your post-workout drink. If you're serious about your diet, this could be for you. If taste is your only reason you rated this so poorly, I say grow a pair and stick to your sugary, fattening shakes.

Can't stand the taste

Overall:

Effectiveness:

I decided to go vegan and bought 3 large bags of this. Big mistake. It just tastes grim. Even with flavdrops it still tastes horrid. The only way I can stomach it is to use one scoop in a mixer and fill it with water. Then neck it. It's still horrible but the water dilutes it enough. Once I've finished the lot I've bought I won't buy it again. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Strange mixability, surprisingly good taste and very high in protein

Overall:

Mixability:

Taste:

Effectiveness:

The taste is rather odd. Very nice, almost like vanilla but very earthy. The mixability is very good but it tends to form bubbles. Fine to be drank immediately after mixing and easy to mix but when left tends to precipitate and form lumps. The protein per serving is better than most whey proteins twice the price.
Goes Well With:
Mixed into soups, sauces. Good to be drank straight with water.

The service from MP is as usual great. Easy to order and great delivery. I ordered this to mix in with protein shakes. It however doesn't mix very well (despite being mixed in a blender) and you can taste the powder easily. The pea taste is rather overwhelming too, taking the taste away from the other ingredients that I put into my shake! I wouldn't buy this again, mainly due to its poor mixability and its acquired taste!

Not drinkable as a protein shake. Sime as that! You simply cannot mask the strong pea flavour. Perhaps it will get used in food at so.e point to try not to waste it.. not git for purpose

The texture was like drinking sand and I tried three or four different recipes for smoothies and nothing could mask the taste or texture. What is worse, I tried to contact MyProtein to return products and they have not responded for two weeks. 300g of green peas and a 100g of chick peas carries enough protein for vegans for a meal so you don't have to buy this product. Do yourself a favour and make a curry. I've ordered a lot of MyProtein products and they've really let me know on this most recent purchase.
