Review on 🌱 BulkSupplements.com Pea Protein Isolate - Vegan Protein Powder - Unflavored Pea Protein Powder (1 Kilogram - 2.2 lbs) by Tara Gardner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product and great price.

Price: Almost as cheap as protein. 33 servings per 1kg bag for $18 and each serving contains 24g of protein. That's 792 grams of total protein, which works out to about $0.02 per gram of protein. This is an outstanding value. Flavor: This is pure pea protein, so the flavor is quite mild. Several reviewers have described the taste as bitter or otherwise objectionable, but that's not the case. It's just mild raw pea protein (that's the point). Keep in mind that most of the pea protein powders you find at your local store combine with other ingredients like stevia, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, etc. to make the powder tastier and sweeter (also double or triple the price). If you are used to these products you may not like the taste if you try this as you would expect a sweetened chocolate version. In any case, you can always add other ingredients yourself. There are many recipes on the internet; My personal favorite is peanut butter and banana mixed with almond milk in a blender. Although most days I just mix it with some almond milk or water in a smoothie cup and it's perfectly fine. Quality: The powder itself is smooth, easy to scoop, and mixes pretty well with whatever I add. durable and lockable and does not take up extra space. I had no problems with digestion, excessive belching/taste, gas, stool/poo issues or anything like that; everything seems to pass away, as does pea protein, and there are no negative energy effects (although you must be aware that I always drink protein post workout/cardio and I have a healthy digestive system). The only complaint I have is that the zipper on the bag (similar to a Ziploc Pinch & Seal sandwich bag) doesn't seal well and breaks easily. Part of this may be due to the powder blocking the seal, but it looks like the seal itself is too small. Blowing the dust off followed by a good pinch usually keeps it good enough for me though; others may need to find a suitable storage container. Other thoughts: - Note that there is no measuring spoon in the pocket. If you don't have the correct measuring scoop, refer to the back of the package for a tablespoon to gram conversion chart (6 grams per tablespoon, 30 grams per serving, that's 5 tablespoons per serving). - This protein is high in iron, making it a great daily supplement for vegans. - Shortly after receiving my order, I received an email from BulkSupplements.com offering me a free sample of something from their catalogue. Depending on when you're reading this, you might not be so lucky, but it's something to keep in mind if you plan on buying more than one of their products.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
