Protein Works - Pea Protein Isolate Protein Powder | 100% Plant-Based & Natural | Gluten Free | No Added Sugar | Chocolate Silk | 500 g

Love this. Tasty smooth and yummy.

I have not tried many protein shakes so I have none I can really compare this to, however I have just made my first shake from this packet. So here is what I found..The 'tear here' as with most packets is useless, use scissors! I tore this and still couldnt get in making it worse with shaky arms from the work out..You have to use 300ml of water or plant based drink, it seems like alot, just over one of my usual cups I drink from. I will be drinking it OVER the hour, let alone within the hour after workouts. I am using an oat drink.I had to actually DIG around in the powder to find the grey scoop, which was a little messy. It did though give me the opportunity to give the powder a good 'feel'. It is very fine and silky, soft feeling, which was actually quite pleasant to feel.Now, I dont have an actual shaker so I had to use something else (yes it went everywhere but it was a contained messed). The drink itself is very thick, though not too thick that it makes it harder to swallow. It is very smooth though I can JUST detect some fine specks.The packet itself, doesnt close up very easily at all. I still have that to tackle when I get back into the kitchen.The taste.. this is where I am uncertain. Whilst it isnt as bad as I expected here is a definite strong taste present that unfortunately stays in your mouth afterwards. I can only assume this is the 'taste of protein' as I cannot recognise it as being chocolate. Whilst not overpowering I can smell/taste is as I go to take a drink, it is unmissable and I do not think I could drink a whole 300ml of this. I am approaching half way down my cup and I am already eyeing it with uncertainty. Maybe a half dose would be best...EDIT: My next shake I made half the amount of milk/powder and added a level tsp of cocoa powder. MUCH better! Ok I am only getting half the amount of protein though it is better than none.April 2024 update: I am still drinking this using half portions! I tried the unflavoured, though it wasnt as nice so I am now mixing half choc half unflavoured. I tell you what, it is SO nice!.I bought this on offer 1kg bag of chocolate for £13. I dont know WHY its currently on for £70+. Please dont buy it at that price. The usual price has been around £18-£20.( I am updating my review whilst I am here to buy the large pack!)

The taste is rather a sickly artificial sweetGave my wife stomach crampsDo not buy if sucralose is not wanted in your protein powder.Purchase plain pea isolate powder instead and add your own flavouings. I add 20g pea isolate, 5 g peanut butter powder and 5 g cocoa powder to the plain pea isolate instead. A far superior and delicious flavour. This product would receive no stars if possible!

I was searching for a protein supplement that does not cause bloated stomach. This one works well, tastes good and so fare I haven't had any issues.

Tastes nice, a bit powdery though

Right level of sweetness, mixes well but needs more liquid than non-vegan powders

Great chocolate taste, does get very thick due to the xantham gum in it. I found the pea / vegetable flavour to be pretty strong. The first time I tried it I used a scoop and enjoyed it. The second, 1.5 scoops and 400ml of water and blended it with a handful of frozen cherries. I found the pea-after taste pretty strong and had to neck it. Compared to a decent whey protein it’s 4/10 for taste but if you’re keto it’s a good alternative and low carb. However it’s still rather make my own smoothie with beef collagen.

I tried this pea protein as I had some bad experiences with whey based products. I bought chocolate flavour. It needs a lot of liquid to mix as it is very absorbent. I assume they tell you the flavour so you can set your level of disappointment. It is truly unpleasant to drink and proved quite difficult to get down. Glad I only bought a 500g pack
