Ok, let’s start with the basics. This powder contains a good level of protein, it’s carb/ protein ratio is good, it’s a good price and if you’re vegan then it ticks your box too. However… It is vile! I’ve tried to like it and I’ve tried to disguise the taste. I’ve added it to strong flavoured foods like chilli, had it with porridge with cacao, I’ve dried drinking it, cooking it, flavouring it with honey and vanilla. But no matter what, I just can’t stomach this stuff. It has a strong, bitter, lingering taste. It smells like mushroom compost and tastes pretty similar. Not for me I’m going back to the whey.  Goes Well With: Absolutely nothing.

So I have so far bought two 2.5kg bags of this product and had very mixed feelings about it. The first bag was excellent, I had no problems with taste as I blend it with other ingredients to make a recovery shake, it blended fairly well and I liked that it didn't seem to give me the same bloated feeling I used to get with traditional whey protein product. The second bag I have had is quite frankly horrendous, the aftertaste is so overwhelming and deeply unpleasant I am having to stop using it altogether. I was genuinely surprised with this because it really is very different in taste to the first batch I ordered. I think going forward I will probably be going back to whey as it is more reliable for taste and blending. Goes Well With: First bag was excellent for recovery shakes, which in my case were a blend of banana, chia seeds, a dash of cinnamon and a single scoop of this product. The second bag is genuinely unusable. Horrendous aftertaste, I really can't describe it other than to say it's made me gag repeatedly after trying to just power through one consumption of the stuff.

Fantastic value!! I buy the 5 kilo option along with their pea protein and both mix together either in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Both mix great and taste good too. Fantastic for vegans or for anyone who wants to add some variety in their protein sources. Highly recommended A++++++++++ Goes Well With: Pea protein

Unflavoured gives shakes a creamy taste. There is a grainy texture to it but its easy to get past. I mix it with salted caramel soy protein powder to make it less sweet and to get another protein source into my diet as it’s pretty soy heavy  Goes Well With: Salted caramel protein powder

Mixes well with pea protein, contains decent amino acids, tastes ok as i use unflavoured. Would recommend Goes Well With: Pea protein
