NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Pea Protein 24 g, Easily Digested, Creamy Chocolate Powder, 2-Pound

Good flavor & mixes well with almond milk. It's not as sweet as their vanilla toffee flavor, so I don't have to add instant coffee to cut the sweetness. I do like that extra kick in the morning, though. I'll probably keep them both in stock so I can switch between them.

I've used protein powders for ~5 years now and vegan protein sources for ~3 years. I started off with Orgain and Vega and have tried countless brands until stumbling across this one on Amazon. It has got to be one of the smoothest, least bloating vegan protein powders I have ever tried. Why I like it: 1) no filler ingredients. Pea protein isolate and cocoa powder are the top two ingredients. The rest seem to be some salt, some for of stevia, and xantham gum (a very common stabilizer used in foods). I'm pretty sure this is also why the protein doesn't cause me to bloat. 2) taste. This is not cocoa pebbles so don't expect something sugary and sweet. However, the cocoa has a nice subtle chocolatey note to it. It's not overwhelming or nauseating. 3) Price. Vegan proteins are expenssiiiiive. Orgain and Vega were just not worth the price for me. This is relatively reasonable for the quantity and number of servings.

This powder works great on my work out/running days to bump my protein up. It mixes well and taste fine. My only issue that it is sweetened with xylitol which I'm not crazy about (minus 1 star). My concern is blood related with xylitol. It seems that the could reformulate to something like monk fruit or even just dump the sweetener.

I like this protein, I drink it with almonds milk, banana and granola for years for lunch time, I use it for one of my meals time, I really liked and help me to feel full for ours until the diner time, my cholesterol is way better.

I like this product. I like the taste. And most importantly for me — this product works well for my body. I’ve tried other protein powders before, not pea-based, and they caused increased acidity in my stomach. My body reacted strangely to them. But this powder works well for me. I like it. And I prefer the chocolate flavor. And by the way, just for your information: every person needs to consume a certain amount of protein each day. This depends on their body weight. And it’s not just for athletes — it applies to absolutely everyone. People have a daily requirement for vitamins, and also for protein.

My review is strictly based on the taste and texture of the product. I tried this product as a cheaper alternative to a similar product I use and enjoy. I started with the unflavored Now Pea Protein to save a few bucks and it was gross. I saw the reviews for Dutch Chocolate flavor so I thought I would give it a try. It also tastes bad and is very chalky. I tried both flavors by themselves and they were really bad. I mixed them with peanut butter, bananas, honey, and ice and it still tasted bad. It is very gritty and chalky. It's hard to keep down. I never could finish more then 2-3 sips of every variation I tried. I am not sure what other types of tastes the other reviewers are used to but I can't drink this stuff. Even if I was able to find a sweetener that would make this product taste like bacon I would not be able to drink it because of the texture. It makes me gag. I am very disappointed with this product. I have two 2lbs containers of this stuff in my pantry that I will not use. If you are considering this product as a cheaper alternative to another product then keep looking. If taste is important to you then keep looking. If you are used to protein shakes that taste terrible and are chalky then this is a good product. It had good protein.

I love everything about this protein powder! No dairy, no artificial sweeteners, absolutely delicious chocolatey taste! The only thing I would change is the packaging. Wish it didn’t come in this huge plastic bottle. A nice paper envelope would be perfect.

I use the best whey protein you can buy which is best tasting. I wanted to go to plant based protein to go easier on my gut. This product checks that box. I will say it took a few smoothies to get accustomed to the chocolate pea flavor. It was never disgusting as some people have exaggerated. After consuming a pound of it i have NOW come to prefer this slightly bitter flavored protein. Not to sweet, but just enough. Its an acquired taste. Mixes very well with a ball type shaker. It has a slight chalky texture but I like it. Very digestible. Definitely for the curious palette. update: after several months of using this protein I can say the above is still true. In fact I actually like it better when I add a coffee flavored superfood powder. I had given this a 4 star but reduced it to a 3 star because the directions should encompass a warning to those who suffer from constipation on occasion. YOU MUST ADD FIBER AND MORE WATER TO YOUR DIET. I did not and suffered from bad constipation nearly everyday after a week of eating this protein. I still believe in using it but after researching the subject and finding that the thickener used in the pea protein was also leading to the constipation, I am now in the process of figuring out how much and what kind of fiber supplement I will add to my diet as well as doubling my intake of water, not in coffee or tea. Like a said, mfr's of this protein need to make it clear that for many this protein is like plugging your gut with cement and precautions must be taken. But I do think that NOW products are very good and I will continue to use the Chocolate and non flavored pea protein. The original pea protein tastes good when you add monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon spice. Quite tasty.

Protein is great but clean up each time because the powder is scattering all over the kitchen... not so much.

My family and I enjoy it every day. It cannot miss in our breakfast!

美味しいです。無味のも飲んだことありますが、デザート感があります。

膨満感ありません。それは一番いいですよ。あじはまぁまぁけどね。

No more bloating due to vegan protein. It doesn't mix so well for me unfortunately. Taste is okay.
