A great protein for everyone, even better for a particular buyer.
There are almost an endless amount of protein blends on the market, with new ones hitting shelves every single day. It can be a little intimidating picking one with all of the buzzwords being thrown around, and everyone having a different opinion on what is "best". I am not here to tell you what the best protein is for you, but I can tell you that this is a good one and it might be a good fit for you if you are like me.What makes me like this protein?1. It's not whey - I have nothing against whey, but the vast majority of proteins on the market use it and it turns out my stomach doesn't do well with it. I actually suffered for a long time not knowing this was the cause. If you have intermittent stomach problems, perhaps try switching to a non whey protein and see if it helps..2. Reputable brand - Orgain has a history, and a reputation. It's not a fly by night company. This does not mean they can do no wrong, but it does mean there is reasonable amount of history to base your purchase decision off of.3. No artificial sweeteners - Again, I have nothing against most artificial sweeteners, and in fact they can go a long way helping people to be more healthy overall by reducing calorie intake. However, most of the blends out there use erythritol, which is a very common instigator of gastro intestinal distress and has caused me issues in the past. I have noticed a growing trend where blends will use real sugar, but then also slide in some artificial sweetener. That is not the case here, you are just getting real sugar. While I try to keep a lower sugar diet, I find the amount here acceptable in a protein drink, which I only consume during or after strenuous exercise.4. No probiotics - This is a HOT topic right now, and once again I am not saying probiotics are bad. What I am saying is that I do not need them or want them every single time I consume a protein drink, and for good reason. Most of the strains of probiotics being thrown into protein blends do not have a reasonable amount of evidence to show that they improve the gut microbiome in a meaningful way. Yes, there are some, specifically one, that does show very promising results - but even with those, you want to take a measured approach with how much you consume.Other thoughts:Flavor - It's fine, I don't find it any better or worse than most blends, but I am also not as picky as most as I don't see this as a treat, but as a supplement. For what it's worth, I do not detect a strong pea flavor in the vanilla or chocolate flavor - though I think most people will prefer the chocolate flavor. Please note, that I tend to steer toward vanilla powders as chocolate flavor generally have more lead / mercury content in them. This is not saying you should pick one or the other, it's just that I have no real flavor preference and chose the one that might be slightly better for me.Texture - Again, not really picky here, but I don't detect the dreaded chalkiness that people talk about. I put 2 scoops in ~8oz of water, and it mixes just fine. You might try 10oz to water it down if the taste / texture is not to your liking. I treat this like a supplement, not a treat, so I really am not going to put much stock into this.Conclusion / TLDR:I like this blend because it is as stated - simple. It has one job, and that is to provide protein. I want my protein blend to be just that, a protein supplement and nothing else - if I want other supplements I would rather separate those and take them when and how I want.Super TLDR:If you want a protein that is organic and is simply a protein supplement and nothing else, this is a great choice.

Simple, no artificial taste, perfect for me
This is the only type of protein powder I buy now. I hate artificial sweeteners and this one has none. It's perfect for me to add some protein into my diet. I find it filling and it blends well. The smell is nondescript. The size of the package is also on the smaller side so it can fit into my cabinets, but it still lasts a long time.The only qualm I have with it is that the vanilla definitely doesn't taste like vanilla. It has a distinct taste of nuts. I personally like it, but it may not be for everyone. It's more of a light peanut butter flavor. I've gotten the peanut butter flavor and they honestly taste very similar to me. I love the chocolate flavor. I'd rank the flavors: chocolate, then peanut butter, then vanilla. But honestly I like them all better than the vast majority of protein powders out there.I also like that the ingredients are pronounceable. Small thing but big impact on your health, I'm sure.

Can’t do coconut sugar
I so wanted to love this. I’ve been using earth chimp unflavored for months. I add it to oatmilk, add some cane sugar (alternative sweeteners hurt my head! Even monk fruit) and cocoa powder and 3 shots of espresso and pour over ice. I love the earth chimp, but it’s not very smooth, clumps easily. This one has coconut sugar which I’ve never had, so thought I’d try it. Nope, turns out coconut sugar does the same thing to me! Instant headache and bad aftertaste. BUT - the powder itself is so smooth! No clumps. Great flavor. Way smoother than my earth chimp. I also like that it has 6 sources of protein. I want to love it so bad but can’t deal with the coconut sugar. If they made this in an unsweetened version, or with cane sugar, I’d be sold for life. If you can tolerate alternative sweeteners, you’ll love this!

The best protein powder!
I love that this protein powder has minimal ingredients and no artificial sweeteners. I have been using it to make protein cookies that are delicious! I wish they sold bigger containers of it because I use so much of it. I also make protein shakes with it. I’ll add soy milk for a thicker drink or water when I want something easy and quick. I’ll also sometimes blend it with berries and greens. It’s filling and healthy and makes getting my protein requirements in for the day a lot easier! This is also the only company that I’ve had that has a quality product. I’ve never received a rancid batch and it smells fresh every time.

No fillers like the regular version 10/10 recommend
Usually purchased the Orgain Protein Boost powder from Trader Joe’s…which is only sold at Trader Joe’s. I compared that product to the regular Orgain Protein Powder that is sold at other retailers, including Amazon. The Protein Powder caused me to have horrible stomach ache/cramps but the Protein Boost powder did not. I compared the ingredients lists on the two products and saw that the Orgain Protein Powder had many fillers and “junk” that was unnecessary while boasting the exact same amount of protein per serving as the Orgain Protein Boost. The Protein Boost version of the product did not cause and discomfort stomach cramps so I stuck with that version from TJ’s. However, since TJ’s is such a long drive for me, it was unreasonable to keep the Orgain Protein Boost powder in stock at home. I came online and searched for the Orgain Protein Boost and came across the Prgain Simple Protein Powder and I am sooo glad I did. It is made with straight forward products and no fillers like their regular vegan protein powder. I cannot say much about the taste because I’ve added things to enhance the flavor but I can say I appreciate the consistency of the Orgain Simple Protein Powder. It’s not as thick as their regular protein powder but it’s also not too thin either. It’s actually rather light and pleasant to drink.
