Purely Inspired Plant-Based Protein Powder for Men & Women, Creamy French Vanilla (16 Servings) – Vegan & Organic – 20g of Pea Protein Powder for Smoothies & Shakes – Dairy-Free, & Gluten-Free

Plant-based Protein Powder with Healthy Ingredients
I think I eat very healthy but wanted to get a little more protein in my diet. After quite a bit of research, I chose this organic protein powder from company Purely Inspired. Per serving, it has 22 grams of plant-based protein (pea and brown rice), only 2 grams of sugar, and no sugar alcohols. It also has a probiotic, as well as a prebiotic (Inulin). It has relatively low sodium, a decent amount of fiber, and claims to have zero cholesterol, although the product contains coconut oil which does have cholesterol.The protein powder came in the mail today. I got the vanilla flavor because I figured it was more versatile than the chocolate. When you first open the jar, you will notice that the powder doesn’t come all the way to the top, maybe about 80% up. I used a long spoon to pull up the enclosed scoop, which was about half way down. After reading other reviews about the taste, I started off with just 1/2 scoop of powder. I added unsweetened almond milk and frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) and blended it. It did blend nicely, with no clumps of powder. However, it was too thick, so I added water and blended again. When I drank it, I did notice the vanilla flavor, which tasted somewhat artificial. It certainly didn’t have an overwhelming taste, as mentioned in some of the reviews that I read. Next time, I’ll add some honey which I suspect will dampen the vanilla taste. I’ll also test with other sweeteners such as maple syrup (the real Vermont stuff) as well as carob.Because of its plant-based protein and healthy ingredients, I definitely will be purchasing this brand of protein powder again.Update: I recently tried the protein powder in the oatmeal I make every morning. The oatmeal contains frozen berries, raisins, coconut oil, pecans, and unsweetened almond milk. I added the protein powder and a little extra almond milk. It turned out great. I also tried it in pancakes today, again adding the protein powder and a little extra almond milk. Again, it tasted great. In both cases, there was no noticeable funky taste of the vanilla.

Taste is not great…. But still, it’s pretty wholesome
Okay, I’ve had several protein powders. I’m a nurse who works twelve hours shifts and I don’t really like eating at work, so I have two protein shakes per shift so I’m not running on empty. I’ve had the cheap, regular whey protein, vegan protein, protein and greens blends, sustained release protein, protein specifically for healthy gut flora… I could keep going. So, know that this review is one from a pretty experienced palate.This stuff tastes like crap. Sorry, not sorry. It’s pretty friggin’ gross. I mix it with water, a bit of flax/chia seed ground mix, a scoop of collagen peptides, and maybe a squirt of MCT oil. I use about 14oz of water and it’s still thicker than most shakes I’ve tried. It’s also not sweet in the least bit; they can save the 2g of sugar (which may be from the fruit in this protein blend) because it’s doing nothing for it; adding some stevia or monk fruit would make this go down a bit easier. It’s chalky and leaves a distinct lingering taste in your mouth and it makes your mouth feel a bit coated. I always have to chase it with gulps of water.Four stars, though, because I don’t care about taste much when it comes to protein. I see them as a supplement and not something to enjoy. This one is a pretty healthy meal replacement with some wholesome ingredients; plus it being plant-based may work great for sensitive tummies. I probably won’t be purchasing again unless it’s on sale, but the container is generous and I do feel it’s mostly worth its price. I’d recommend it if you are using it purely for its benefits and not for something to sit and enjoy sipping slowly.

TWO DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
Two very different products.First time I ordered, the product was in a clear container that said “New Look! Even Better Flavor!”. Could easily be stirred into water, plant milks, or coffee. Absolutely DIVINE flavor! Tasted like ice cream. By far the BEST protein product I have ever had. Could easily drink it everyday or even a couple times a day.Next time I ordered, it came in a white container (presumably the old formula). Didn’t blend as well–not the biggest deal. However, it tasted very off and artificial along with lacking any creamy texture. Struggled to get through the container and ended up giving some of it away.I have ordered the product several times and you never know which one you’re going to get. If you get the clear container, you’re in for a treat! If you get the white container, keep your expectations low. It’s a gamble which one you’re going to get. I’d like for this to be my protein supplement, but there’s no way of knowing if it will be the one I LOVE or the one I can tolerate.

Sabor muy suave, lo que me permite combinarlo con diferentes frutas y usarlo en recetas sin que altere el sabor. El polvo es super fino así que se integra muy bien. Yo uso menos de la mitad de la porción para un licuado de 400ml porque solo es complemento no substituto de una comida entera.
