NOW Sports, Certified Organic Pea Protein 14g, Unflavored Powder, 1.5 lbs

I’ve been using NOW Sports Pea Protein (Sugar-Free) for a while, and it’s a solid choice if you want a clean, plant-based protein without extra additives. The first thing I noticed is how simple the ingredient profile is—no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and minimal processing. That makes it especially appealing if you’re watching your blood sugar or just trying to avoid unnecessary fillers. Each serving delivers a good amount of protein, and it keeps me full longer than I expected. Taste-wise, it’s pretty neutral, which can be a pro or a con depending on what you like. On its own with water, it has a mild earthy flavor typical of pea protein—not amazing, but not unpleasant either. Where it really shines is in smoothies. Blended with almond milk, berries, or a banana, it becomes much more enjoyable and easy to drink.

It has been a hard road trying to find the right protein that works, is healthy, affordable and does not contain additives (sugar, flavor etc.) If you are used to sweet drinks, then you are not going to like the natural raw flavor, but if you are driven by nutrition and health vs. what tastes good, then you can make this work. For the record (incase any of you can relate), I am a gluten free, soy free vegan and I stay clear from sugar, all flavor additives, most grains except organic oats. Yeah, I know what you are thinking, but my diet works great with my autoimmune disorders :P Anyhow, let us talk about usage tips. I use a shaker from myprotein (comes with a mesh lid), which allows my shake to come out really smooth. I add some raw organic cocoa powder from Healthworks Raw Certified Organic Cacao Powder, 1 lb , sprinkle a bit of organic cinnamon or create a green protein drink by adding Amazing Grass Green SuperFood Original, 30 Servings, 8.5 Ounces . I eat 6-7 meals a day -- 2 scoop of NF Organic Pea Protein and 25-30 grams of oats (my preferred oats is GF Harvest Gluten Free Organic Rolled Oats, 41-Ounce Pouch ) is a full meal for me, so I make at least one of these per day and when I lift or workout hard, I jack my liquid meals to 3 -- one of them being the post workout meal, which I ingest within 10-15 minutes after workout and the other later in the day. I also break my meal into half some days, so I use 1 scoop of Pea Protein and oats, flax seeds, almond milk, hemp milk or have a sweet potato... I grind my oats with a coffee grinder -- I also add Now Foods Certified Organic Golden Flax Seeds, 16 ozs Bag, (Pack of 2) in my liquid meals some days. Make or buy almond milk -- this Pea Protein mixes like a dream with it. You can add some raw honey for a bit of sweetness if you like, but in the end you are in charge of what you want your shake to taste like vs. the flavor and additive filled stuff out there. This is a great organic protein which you will need to treat as an ingredient in your personal concoctions vs. "fits all" pre-blends out there. Great price, wonderful quality, I am so thankful that a company has decided to create something like this. P.S: You can add this to your homemade protein bars, pancakes as well! Possibilities are endless when your mind is open :D

I bought this protein because I have read that pea protein is one of the best plant-based proteins for vegans. This one is not flavored unfortunately but it is organic and I purchased it based on the glowing reviews. However, it seems my scoop is M.I.A. *cut to me trying to find it without digging through the entire tub* Needless to say, I dug through the entire tub and have yet to find it. Send me a scooper and I'll raise this to 5-stars! The serving size is "2 level scoops" so I am using 1/4 cup which I assume is about the right serving size. Please correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, I use this post-workout in the mornings and sometimes pre-workout (1 "scoop" instead of 2) blended with chia seeds, hemp hearts, Paradise Herbs Energy Greens, 1 banana, PB2, and flax milk. It is amazing and so much cheaper than buying the Paradise Herbs Protein+Greens. Soooo much cheaper! It is very filling and easy on the stomach. I highly recommend this product but be prepared to blend it with something to enhance the taste. Edit for update 4/1/16: I ordered another tub and this one came with a scoop! I would say the correct serving size is about 2 tbsp if you are missing your scooper. Still love this protein. I may experiment with other brands for taste as this one is a bit bland.

dissolves well in my shakes, no taste, easy to use. I have used this brand before.

I have tried many different protein powders, from organic to non organic and this one is by far my favorite. It has one of the largest grams of protein per scoop that I have seen among the organic or non-gmo protein powders. It blends very well whether it is by hand or in a blender. From my experience, it gets absorbed easily as well. Since I began taking it after my workouts, I've noticed that I feel stronger and more energetic, hence I'm probably meeting my daily protein count. As for the taste, it doesn't really have a taste. I would describe it as slightly grainy. If you're trying to buy a protein powder that that tastes good, then this one is probably not for you. On the other hand however, this powder is very versatile due to its lack of taste. You can easily use it for protein shakes that have other ingredients, or add it to oatmeal, bakery, etc.

If I had written this review before my last large jug, it would have been 5 stars. It isn't flavored and it doesn't have that awful sweetener others have and it froths beautifully - until this last order. This jug does not dissolve well and leave chunks in the drink (see pic after straining one cup of coffee). I've always used a frother and this usually is creamy and fluffy. This one is still fluffy, but I have to strain it because with every sip of coffee I get a mouthful of chunks - Yeuch!! I have had long email conversations with their Customer Support and they will refund my $$ for this jug IF I pay to return it to them. This jug is HUGE and it would be expensive to send it back. I even sent pics of the chunks left after I strained it and they said they were so sorry, but I had to pay to send it back. I've been buying this for 3 years and loved it until now. I shouldn't have to pay for their lack of quality assurance. So now I'm trying different brands. Shame on them.

This is just pure protein. When Blended in a blender it is very smooth there is no gritty texture at all. So many protein drinks have too many ingredients in it including those terrible guar gums. I have a dislike for probiotics in every single nutritional product I buy. This best to take probiotics alone and at the end of the day and on an empty stomach. This is a protein you can add whatever you want. You can drink by itself but it's very Bland in flavor but tolerable. Or you can add some fruit your own whatever other sweetener that you like. It is only one gram of fiber per serving which is great since I add fruit giving it its own Raw fiber. I highly recommend this as a protein source.

I bought this because it was a budget friendly option for protein powder. Unfortunately I can't recommend it anyone because the taste is so overwhelming in most uses. A fruit smoothie will make the aftertaste significantly worse, but adding some cocoa powder and maple syrup helps quite a bit.

Perfect product, purchase and delivery. Really good value for money, really good workout supplement for people avoiding dairy. Highly recommended!

ホエー系で胃が痛くなる、ソイプロテインが合わない人にとてもおすすめです。

Excelente producto. Temí que fuera a caerme mal porque tengo mucha gastritis, pero no tuve ningún problema. Solo hay que tomarla despacio porque si la tomas de golpe da dolor de cabeza

この製品は、素晴らしい一貫性、無臭を持っており、様々な飲料に混合するとよく溶解します!

かなりまずいです 塩気をかんじます ２度と買いたくありません 残念です
