I now have chocolate & Vinalla and you have a continued customer

Very basic ingredients and the taste is OK with milk, almond milk, or just water. Not like I'm going to be sitting around sipping this anyway.

Ultimately, will be a better value to order in bulk (pun intended) but I wanted to try it first in case I couldn't stomach the taste (see what I did there?).

I can't have whey and lactose. My body doesn't like it and digests them horribly. My partner told me about fermented pea powder so I decided to give this one a go. Based on the reviews, those who have more experience in fermented pea powder claim this is the best tasting. There is an odd aftertaste that I noticed literally only on Day 1 of trying it with only a cup of almond milk. The next, day, I didn't notice it and the day after, I tried it with 2 scoops of PB2 chocolate/peanut butter powder and it's just THE BEST THING.

The texture is funky though. I use a Ninja blender with the personal cup attachment and I usually pour in the milk and then the powder but I end up with a few odd chunks. So now, I pour in the liquid, then half the powder, shake it up, then the rest of the powders and then blend. It's a process but I like it. I'm sure if I put everything in the usual, much larger blender, I wouldn't have to include the shake step but I'd rather not dirty up the whole thing just for one shake.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND making your shake before your workout and letting it thicken in the fridge - SO GOOD if you like that THICC texture :)

I love the packaging -- not only does it make me feel better for the lack of plastic but it also has a straight lip on the inside that allows you to scrape the top of the scoop against it for accurate measuring.

A review coming from someone who's never tried fermented pea protein, I recommend this product. I'll be checking out the other flavors, too.

Why is there a WARNING FOR CA RESIDENTS for Chocolate flavored pea protein?

As you may or may not know, anything grown underground will contain heavy metals, including lead. It's just naturally occurring in dirt. The FDA has limits and guidelines on how much is acceptable and healthy in a food product. California has even stricter rules on the amounts of heavy metals allowed to be sold in California. These California rules are known as Prop 65.

We test for heavy metals in our products from the time they're grown until the finished protein is ready to ship to customers to guarantee the lowest heavy metals possible. They are always well below any FDA rules. However, when it comes to our chocolate, the combination of pea protein and cocoa can put us close to the California Prop 65 guidelines for lead. We follow the Prop 65 guideline, and we put this warning on our product page and place the sticker on chocolate for this reason.

Rest assured, our quality is unmatched and heavy metals are as low as possible and well below FDA guidelines.

This is one of the best products out there. I have tried over a dozen highly rated Pea protein products and this one has to be my favorite. So many manufacturers of pea protein attempt to mask the flavor, but I tend to get sick of the taste, especially as time goes on - they become nauseating. The great thing about this product is it has a neutral taste. Best way for me to describe the taste is a mixture of flour and water. Not the best taste in the world, but it'll never make you gag like most pea protein powders out there. Plus it has the added benefit of being fermented, which is much better for the gut lining than repeated consumption of regular pea or grain based protein. This company also makes a product with vanilla flavor and addition of different mushrooms. I tried that product and found it hard to stomach, this one is far easier to drink.
