NuzestPea Protein Powder - Clean Lean Protein, Premium Vegan Plant Based, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, GMO Free, Naturally Sweetened Protein Shake, Smooth Vanilla, 20 Servings, 1.1 lb

I bought this protein powder because of the company's high purity standards. I use it in a morning smoothie along with organic blueberries and raw, unsweetened cocoa powder. While some people have complained about the taste, that's irrelevant in my case—the flavors of all the ingredients blend nicely.

Unlike many protein powders, Nuzest mixed in smoothly and has a lovely, unchaukey taste. It is the most palatable protein powder I've tried.

I heard about this protein powder in Instagram a year ago but was sceptical about trying it because it's so expensive for the number of servings AND because I'm not really a protein powder person.However, I wanted to try a pea protein powder for baking and I decided to get this one since people seemed to like it. I can see how the bulk and consistency of this powder would be perfect for baking, that said, I'm certainly not going to be baking with this!!! It's way too nice and way too expensive to hide in baked goods. Oats hurt my stomach and I've missed the routine of having a warm mush/pudding/porridge type thing in the morning. This protein powder mixed with a little warm water has restored to me that morning mush routine. I think people call it protein pudding but it's the same thing. This is now my breakfast cereal and it's so filling in a pleasant way, not in a bloating sensation sort of way. If you're fancy, I suppose you could add in some (almond) milk or cream or nut or Seed butter but really it's really good with just water. I haven't had it in a smoothie yet because I like it so much as a warm breakfast pudding but if you're a smoothie person, this will give you a super thick and creamy smoothie, I can tell from the consistency!CONS: There is a faint hint of pea odor but it's not unpleasant and I can see how if you have a really sweet tooth you may not find this super sweet. I have a moderate sweet tooth and I find this sweet enough. This powder is really too pricey, I mean I know the ingredients are high quality but still! That said, it's sooooo good, that it might become my monthly splurge!

The vanilla taste is not great, but if you ignore that it’s a good protein powder with clean ingredients :)

Great product by the second day felt good energy

The media could not be loaded. I tired this product because of a particular natural minded influencer on instagram. Before this I was using a popular brand from Costco but didn’t love the Stevia in it so gave this a chance. I noticed the powder scooper looked staticky. So I tried putting a magnet to it.. sure enough the powder was attracted to the magnet. I tried this on the Costco one I was using and nothing. I’m so upset I have been feeding to my 3 babies as well as myself throughout my current pregnancy. Praying my baby is born ok and now I need to detox my 3 babies from heavy metals ASAP. Crazy how under the description they claim to test for heavy metals… obviously not true. BUYERS BEWARE.

I’ve been sampling lean vegan protein powders across the board to see if I can find one with an ideal calorie to protein ratio that my body responds to better than the whey I’ve used over the years.My personal priorities in a powder are: simple ingredients, natural sweeteners (if any), responsible sourcing, good for smoothies.I had really high expectations for this one (maybe my own fault), and ultimately felt it fell short, somewhere on middle ground. None of them have been perfect, but this definitely isn’t my favorite I’ve tried, and not my least favorite.The nutrient profile and ingredient list are 10/10 and check all of my boxes. No concerns there. One of the best options on the market in that regard (though there are others that can compete!)My issue comes down to flavor. I went with vanilla (same flavor as the whey I used in the past) and found it sweet, but not in a good way. I like some sweetness, but this is chalky... almost like a birthday cake flavored pepto bismol texture/aftertaste? Sorry that’s not a pleasant comparison. Either way, the flavor profile is nonexistent aside from this forced/unnatural tasting sweetness, and I think that’s what turned me off the most.The texture is pretty good, again, still dense/chalky but I find that with 90% of vegan protein anyway. Worth it for the nutritional and environmental benefits of vegan sourced protein.Overall, I probably won’t buy this one again because of personal preference. I think I’m more sensitive to sweetness than others and tend to prefer earthy vegan flavors with added nature-made sweeteners in my smoothies (fruit). I can see some preferring this flavor and based on the ingredients and nutrient profile, I think it’s well worth the investment if that’s the case.

I haven't used protein powders in quite some time because I've had mixed results from previous brands. This one was recommended by a company that focuses on women's health and acne. I've been using it now for two weeks, and I've had great results! I've had ZERO breakouts. It took some time getting used to the "vanilla" flavor, but by the end of the first week it was fine.
