I love this stuff! I have tried all the other pea protein chocolate shakes and this one is so good I drink it because it's yummy and the side benefit is it is extremely healthy for you with very few ingredients. Some reviewers say they are scared of it because it has a static like affect on utensils, but many of these powders do that and I think it is because of how fine the powder is. It is like smooth soft talcum powder. I jave been dri king it over 2 years now and love it. My brain fires up when on this. I add it to decaf coffee sometimes for a natural wake-up with no caffeine just healthy protein. The MCTs in this are what I believe make it so awakening for the brain.

Pretty tasty. No stomach issues, blends well, and no weird aftertaste. The price is good for the volume.

They added a little too much stevia sweetness, it's kind of gross tasting to me. I can get it down and it seems effective. I will try to get some unsweetened powder to mix it with.

I'm a runner and I've tried different protein powders and they all had a chalky taste which came through, even with all the ingredients I add. This taste of this brand is much better and I use it with a lot of other healthy ingredients, kale, bananas, almond milk, cayenne and Ceylon cinnamon, organic honey, peanut butter powder, alma powder and ground flax seeds. The chocolate is my favorite, but I use the vanilla, too, for a change. (I wish it came in strawberry but I sometimes add them frozen). I tried the version with greens and didn't like it, so I stuck with this one and add my own greens. Also, I only weigh 100#s so I only use 1 scoop or it's too filling. It never upsets my stomach, which is very sensitive. I think it is a good value and I use it every day of the year and in the morning, always look forward to it!

This is the WORST tasting protein shake I've ever purchased. If you've ever mixed chocolate syrup, water, and sand, you might be able to relate to the experience of drinking this. It will be grainy regardless of how you blend it or what you blend it with. Yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate - nothing improves the taste. It is not clumpy. It will get you the protein. But you will hate it.

Muuuuy rica la proteina, con platano y cacao nibs queda deliciosa. No cae nada pesada. Cremosa, y ligera.

Unusually bad taste, and low amount of protein per calories ratio
