Garden of LifeOrganic Protein Powder - Vegan Plant-Based Protein Powder, Coffee, 8.6 oz (244g) Powder

This protein powder mixes well and tastes great!

I was looking for unsweetened, plant based protein powder for smoothies that isn't highly fortified and this works. If you add it to a smoothie and your other ingredients are mild tasting, like just banana, you can taste it a little and it's not unpleasant, but it's very slightly bitter - probably from the flax and pea seed. So if you are good with alI of the ingredients you'll probably think it tastes fine. And with more smoothie ingredients or in baked goods you probably wouldn't notice it. It will thicken your smoothie like most protein powders do and the longer it sits, the thicker it gets.

I was recently diagnosed with Leaky Gut and put on a grain-free diet (not just gluten-free...but grain free). Being vegan, I am limited in my protein sources so I drink two smoothies a day. When I had to switch to grain-free protein powder, this product was a God-send. I love the taste...it blends well with all the stuff I put in my smoothies. It is not gritty...but creamy. And the best part is that my tummy loves it! No pain or discomfort. It is truly grain-free and a life-saver for me.

Wow. I just made my first shake using this protein powder and I'm very impressed. I buy a LOT here on Amazon...great prices and benefits as a Prime member. I stumbled on this by accident, and had to try it because I love Garden of Life products. I have been using Sun Warrior protein for a while and it's by far, the best out there. High quality ingredients make it far above all others...until this. The coffee taste shines through in this protein powder. I like that you don't need to add any sweetener, and love the fact that digesitve biotics are added as well. It's genuinely "complete" in every way. The only drawback is the price....you only get 8 full scoops per bag...enough for a week! LOL! Wow. So what I've decided to do is to mix half a scoop with the chocolate Sun Warrior to make it go further. Don't think I can use this on any sort of regular basis as I make a protein shake almost every day, and I eat mostly vegan currently. For the price, a 30 day supply of Sun Warrior is much cheaper (and it's one of the few products that is cheaper at the Vitamin Shoppe than here at Amazon). But I have to give high marks for this product. The coffee taste, ingredients, and smooth blending, make it one of the best on the market. Thank goodness they didn't use brown rice protein or grasses.....really a superb product and well done, GOL! One more thing. I added water and fruit to this, and I still got a great coffee flavor. Perhaps those that don't taste coffee may be mixing their powder with some sort of nut or dairy milk (or whatever), and that is masking the flavor.

My favorite protein shake yet!
