PuoriVegan Plant Protein Enhancer Powder - 25 Servings - Neutral Flavor Pea Protein with Algae Calcium for Essential Amino Acids - Dairy-Free, Vegetarian, Non GMO

I use this protein powder in my green smoothie bowl everyday. I like that it does not have any natural flavors ( which has nothing natural in it) and thus I can taste whatever fruit or superfood I put in my smoothie. This protein maybe not the cheapest but I am willing to pay for a quality product that has Clean Label Project certification, Pesticide Free certification and Clean Label Transparency Project Certification. Clean Label Project is a nonprofit organization that examines labeling safety issues and tests products for presence of heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and toxins like bisphenol A also known as BPA. Because Puori is on their "nice and not naughty" list, I consume this protein knowing that it is good and beneficial for me and my body. In addition, this protein has algae calcium which is a great addition to my smoothie bowl since it has additional benefits. I am happy I have found this product but I did not stumble on it accidentally. I had to dig the wide word web and spent some time looking for a good quality pea protein.

I was looking for a good quality, unflavored pea protein powder that didn't taste horrible and yet had lower calories. Found it here! With only 100 calories per 20g of protein, 0 flavor, Vegan and it was on sale, I couldn't go wrong! You can add your fruits, veggies and nut butters and not worry about adding too many calories. It blends really well due to how finely powdered it is and I even use in my low cal baking recipes! This product contains 95% Pea protein isolate and a Vegan Algae Calcium which is a great combination because it not only helps to maintain muscle mass but also supports bone health. I was also happy to see this company is responsible in harvesting the Algae to preserve the local marine environment. I definitely recommend a try on this product! It's vegan, low calorie, 0 carbs, blends really well and the company has good business ethics!

First off, I'd like to start with the bottom line. I've used a number of protein powders over the past 20 years starting with whey and later gravitating towards plant-only protein powders, and this I’d my favorite so far. I was previously relatively happy with a popular plant-based "sport" protein powder, but then I started reading about levels of heavy metals in protein supplements, particularly plant-based ones, as well as a lack of oversight. This led me to the Clean Label Project, which is a consumer product safety program. Their web-site has certified only two protein powders under their guidelines, which I have reviewed and found acceptable. This is one of the certified products. There is another which I have also tried. Both are fine, but the clincher for me is the consistency and flavor (or lack thereof) of the Puori protein. The product is very fine and easy to mix, but more importantly it has no flavor. I don't need the extra flavoring and sweetening chemicals, and frankly I add this to my morning smoothie and I'd rather taste the fruit and juice I put in rather than artificial ingredients.

Pros:- Doesn't upset my stomach- Doesn't have an over powering taste- Mixes easily- Doesn't get foamy in the blender- It has been awarded a purity award from the clean label project (very very important if one is consuming plant based proteins)Cons:- Not really flavorless, the flavor it does have isn't strong- Only 10 grams of protein per scoop leading to using 2 scoops. The tub only lasted a couple of weeks at this rate.

I bought this after I learned that most vegan protein powders are contaminated with heavy metals and I have elevated lead, mercury and arsenic. I’m also very allergic to all dairy products.I’ve tried many brands of vegan protein powders. Some are tasty, but loaded with fillers and full of heavy metals, fillers, etc.I bought this one because it appears to be clean and I need calcium, since I can’t consume dairy products.I stirred a heaping TBSP into my hot coffee this morning.Pros: no carbs, high in calcium, it is very soluble. Portable for trips.Cons: I dislike that familiar pea protein taste, aftertaste, it is slightly grainy.If I digest it well I will keep buying it for the health benefits. I will also try it in my oatmeal and I suspect it will be good. It’s not that expensive, for what it is. I suspect all the testing they do costs a lot.For now I’m optimistic this will be a good option.

While I like that this protein powder is free of lead, it tastes disgusting and has a chalky consistency. It overpowers the other ingredients in my smoothies, and it’s hard to mask the taste and grittiness.

I was scouring Amazon looking for a vegan plant based protein powder that was KETO friendly, so figured I would give this one a try due to the good reviews.Taste: It's practically tasteless and I LOVED that. I've drank many brands of protein powders over the years and most have a aspartame/overly powerful taste, and this one does not. I can drink this by itself or mix it with a smoothie and definitely be set up for successCleanness: Unlike many other protein powders this one is not full of harmful chemicals, thank goodness! Who wants to fill their body with a questionable drink right after a good work out? No one. I'm glad this is different.After Effect: So I drank it right after a run and 4 hours later I don't feel sluggish or overly bloated. I can't wait to see how I feel the next day. Now you may have a bit of fluctuance lol, but that's extremely normal after any protein shake. I also loved how it kept me feeling full into dinner was ready....give this brand a try!
