Organic Vegan Unflavored Protein Powder, Garden of Life 22g Plant Based Protein & BCAAs, Organic Protein Powder with Probiotics & Enzymes, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free Lactose Free 1.2 LB

One of the best protein powder, If you're looking for healthy ingredients then this is it. This is in the top 0.1% of healthy protein powder, 99.9% of protein powder on the market are unhealthy. NO NATURAL FLAVOR, NO BAD PRESERVATIVE AND NO SEED OIL.

Has a slightly pumpkin spice flavor to it and very dry/fibrous. (my tastebuds are very sensitive these years, and that is what it tastes like). It works best added to sweet versus savory (sugar vs salt) items as the sort of sweet overtones may come through the latter.EDIT, this stuff tastes much better now, less pumpkin skin that you licked, and less gritty. Will still give it five stars. The jar got larger and comes one scoop over being half full (settles in shipping I believe). I bought two of the new formulation and was able to fit almost all of it into one jar (minus two scoops). I don't know if I like the new 'corncob' style scoop but at least it is seethrough so you can see if it's fully packed, I often have to use a finger to push a bottom gap full and rescoop to fill the scoop. Rest of unedited review below...I can tell that this packs a protein punch, adding it to okara allows me to make a 'porridge' that approaches the same protein content as meat, without the cholesterol. Very palatable and best in some sort of moist product to help hide the dry mealy-ess of the powder. The scoop seems a bit large, you do not have to add ALL of that to your smoothie or puree, just be aware of what a serving size is (one scoop). It does work well in sweet potato or tomato based soups, with spinach or avocado as well. It is well complimented by cinnamon, nutmeg, and stevia or raw sugar.With being a medical vegan and celiac, this supplement is gluten free and also helps boost my protein intake easily. Do make sure that you are eating a balanced diet, this can help you get the nutrients you need. Highly recommend. My doctor approved it, and it is helping me fill out my frame after a necessary catastrophic weightloss.

I generally HATE HATE HATE protein mixes, bars, concoctions and solvents of any sort! But when I was recently told by my Dr. that my protein levels were far too low I went on a hunt for protein I can stomach (which usually means hold my nose and guzzle as fast as possible, then chase with something more tolerable). I was recommended this by a friend, and although skeptical, I didn't have much to lose, considering at that point I had purchased 8 different types of protein in a month, and couldn't stand one of them. Some were as expensive as 75+ a container! And tasted like drivel!!! Then I got RAW PROTEIN and mixed it up, I first tried it in just water and I must say, Not bad! I can drink it that way, and did for the first week. The protein powder itself has almost no smell, and when mixed has very little taste. It does have some taste but isn't unpleasant and is very faint, it is almost like a faint almondy taste or something hard to explain. I now like to add it to almond milk or soy milk (reg milk would be fine probably I am just intolerant) and I add one individual sized container of vanilla yogurt (any flavor would work, thats just my fav) and mix it up and its delish. I now have perfect levels of protein and my daily regimen doesn't involve gagging and eye watering to get there! Awesomeness!The only minor drawback, and I do mean MINOR for me is that it never fully disintegrates. That is why i like to add the yogurt, since the thicker consistency helps to coat the granules and make them unnoticeable. Its no big deal and definitely easily outweighed by the positives of this wonderful mix.

Update (2023): Nestle is a wicked corporation that bought this Garden of Life brand and ruined it with bad ingredients and filthy marketing lies. This was my go-to protein supplement for many years, but each year they change the formula for the worse and lie by calling it “new and improved". The taste and texture may be improved, but its health benefits certainly are never improved; you just get lower-quality ingredients and cheaper fillers while paying more for it. Here is a list of changes that show why no one should waste their hard-earned money on this trash (refer to my pictures to see the changes on their packaging):1) This product used to have no pea protein, one of the cheapest and lowest quality of plant-based protein next to soy, but now it is almost 100% pea protein and Nestle is peeing on their customers and calling it “rain”. It’s not even sprouted pea protein, even though they deviously list it under their “sprouted protein blend” heading.2) This product now contains erythritol as a cheap sweetener. Erythritol causes bloating and gas and is their cheap and inferior substitute for stevia. If it originally had erythritol, I never would have bought this product.3) This product now contains guar gum as a cheap thickener with no nutritional benefit. This might as well be sawdust, just added weight with no benefit.4) This product no longer lists what foods their added vitamins and minerals are sourced from, and their mineral profile has been reduced. Most vitamin C that is added to store products is sourced from lab-grown black mold grown cultures and is of poor quality, while this product used to derive most of its added vitamins from more high-quality brewer’s yeast. Since they no longer list the source of the vitamins, it is safe to assume the worst as they wouldn’t hide it if they were proud of it and the FDA does not require them to list it. This product is also no longer a good source of selenium, molybdenum, manganese, and magnesium.5) This product is no longer a good source of probiotics. To be considered a good probiotic, a supplement should have more than 3 billion CFUs, but it now has less than 250 million. Not only has the quality of their cultures declined, but I also got a Listeria infection (Listeriosis) from eating one of their products. A probiotic supplement should help prevent you from getting life-threatening bacterial infections, not actively give you one. Nestle is opening itself up to a serious lawsuit with a lack of quality control.
