Plant Protein Powder Pea & Brown Rice Protein 500 Gm- Chocolate Flavour, Multicolor

This is the first plant protein that I've tried. Prior to this, I've tried Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, Ultimate Nutrition, R1 Whey, and other good Whey protein brands. But since I decided to go vegan for environmental purposes, I had to make a choice of vegan protein supplement as well, and this had good reviews. Here's how I'd rate the aspects on a scale of 1-10. Flavour - 10/10 : I love that it's not sickeningly sweet like a lot of whey protein brands. There's a tinge of savoury taste to the chocolate, and I love that. I can definitely drink a whole cup everyday without any problems, which says a lot because I'm very picky about taste. Mixability - 7.5/10 : If Optimum Nutrition's whey has a mixability of 10/10, I'd rate most whey brands to be 8/10, and this one a solid 7.5, because there are little pockets of the power that form once you add water or soy milk. I only use a spoon, and ON mixed perfectly that way, but this is not too bad and about 80% of it mixes instantly, while 20% needs extra effort. Results - 9/10 : I love that it has a complete amino acid profile but it also has so many vitamins and even biotin, which was a pleasant surprise. 5g of BCAA's make it an amazing post-workout shake for me. Muscle recovery is pretty much on par with most whey brands. Ingredients - 10/10 : It uses Stevia instead of sucralose or sugar, which is much healthier. A mix of brown rice and pea protein isolates, it's got an amazing amino acid profile, but what sold me was the digestive and antioxidant blends consisting of Apple seed and grape seed extracts. It causes 0 bloating, as opposed to literally any whey protein out there, including ON. Overall, I'd highly recommend this one. I'm definitely getting more once I'm done with this pack.

Pros: - Best tasting protein drink I've tried - Uses stevia as a sweetener, which is natural and plant derived; no potential side effects - Easy on the stomach; digests well - Great protein and nutrient profile; very low in carbs - Dissolves better than other protein powders I've tried (it dissolves better in hot water than in cold) - Very useful as a sweet substitute when on a weight loss diet; I dump a spoonful of this in my mouth in lieu of dessert - Superb packaging and authenticity checks Cons: - slightly salty

It's for my dad and mom. They found it quite nutritious. And beside being healthy the powder is quite flavourful and delicious.

Honestly, I have already used about 3-4 boxes of these protein powder and found huge difference in muscle recovery and overall well being. But today one of my colleagues told me that even he was using this brand until he stumbled upon a lab test shared by Trustified which found that in 3 scoops , there is only 6-7 grams of protein as opposed to 23 grams as claimed by the brand. This is really shocking and disappointing at the same time so I would be writing to their customer support asking for an explanation and most likely be discontinuing using this brand. Having said that, I must say that I enjoyed the taste and was hoping to continue it until the lab results got published on youtube by Trustified.

Pros of the product: 1. For someone who likes extremely tasty chocolate product, go for it. It feels like you are downing a chocolate milk shake which is highly sweetened. 2. My body reacted amazingly with this protein when I used it over a span of 2 weeks with around 3 scoops a day. 3. Light on stomach, no bloating or gas. Cons of the product : 1. For someone who favour midly flavoured protein it isn't a great choice. 2. Extremely sweet. Extremely..... 3. Mixability is poor if you leave the protein powder on top of the water, it stays that way for a long time. Very poor mixability. Had to consumer this in a glass and stir with spoon for at least 2 minutes. Even then a few chunks of protein does float around. 4. The scoop is tiny and I couldn't figure it was a 20gms scoop or 15 gms. Confused as to how many scopps should I take. Overall : I loved how it helped me, I loved how it was light on the stomach, but due to it's extreme sweetness I have no choice but to opt for othe protein. I hope there will be less midly flavoured product like vanilla that will really help up sales for this product. If only the mixability was high. Note: Tastes amazing when mixed in hot water, almost like drinking hot chocolate. Preferably with three scoops.
