Review on 🌱 NLA for Her Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder - Cinnamon Scone - 20 Super Servings - Non GMO Pea Protein, Organic, Naturally Sweetened by Darlene Myles

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good taste, thick and creamy, decent ingredients

As for pea protein, this brand's texture, thickness and taste are better than many other brands I've tried. It's quite sweet, with more natural cinnamon flavor than artificial cinnamon flavor, which is good considering the second ingredient after pea protein is pure cinnamon powder, no cinnamon flavor! Although it is rich in fruits, herbs, herbal and vitamin extracts and powders listed in the ingredients, there are hardly any effective amounts of these substances actually in one serving or even three servings as this blend has no hint of green or medicinal /herbal/herbal flavor even as a background whisper and I take the distinct flavor of herbs and herbs in it quite well because I've been taking them as standalone supplements and many of them have different properties. I could tell if it was as "healthy" and nutritious as the ingredients suggest. Unfortunately, while the list of added ingredients is impressive, I doubt it means anything at all. It consists of 99.99% pea protein, sweetener and flavoring. I love that the company has used improved forms of added minerals instead of cheaper, less digestible versions. For example, instead of calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide, they added citrates and chelated minerals, which are more beneficial to the body. And over half of the added fruit and vegetable/herb powders are organic. Too bad there weren't many of these in one serving. Having just tried Vega, America's premier brand of vegan protein powder, again after a few years of hiatus, I would say it matches Vega and even surpasses it in several key areas. If you're new to vegan protein shakes and want something tasty while still maintaining a good macronutrient ratio, this is a good place to start. And while the flavor of Cinnamon Scone is distinctly cinnamon-y, it's still versatile enough that it can be mixed with either chocolate or fruity things, or just plain water, and tastes great. Plastic tubes, if you could fit the powder in a container half that size.
