Review on πŸ‹οΈ Vega Sport Premium Protein Powder - Chocolate, Plant Based Post-Workout Protein with BCAA Amino Acids (21 Servings / 2lb 0.5oz) by Debbie Williams

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terrible taste, protein cosmetics are almost entirely pea protein

I can't stand the taste, it doesn't taste like chocolate and leaves an absolutely horrible aftertaste with a pasty consistency (which was amazing because it seemed relatively good to mix with water). Regardless of the taste, the protein content didn't convince me either. The pack says 30g of protein is derived from a mix of peas, alfalfa, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Sounds good, but the problem is that when you look at the ingredient list, the first three things (in that order) are pea protein, cocoa powder, and natural flavors. Because the ingredients are listed in descending order of frequency, this means that this protein powder contains more cocoa powder and "natural flavors" than pumpkin seed, alfalfa, and sunflower seed proteins. In my opinion this is very shady marketing because it means that the protein is mostly pea protein and the other three protein sources are only trace amounts, so it appears to be a mix of protein sources. I was impressed that 3g fat and 4g net carbs per 30g protein is better than many vegan protein powders I've seen.
