Love this company and the idea of vegan whey protein. I am vegan for ethical reasons but vegan (non-whey) protein powders can be gritty and not tasty. The chocolate and vanilla flavors are SO delicious! They dissolve super smoothly into water and are really easy to drink. However the mixed berry flavor is awful and tastes like cherry cough syrup. If you tried the mixed berry flavor and didn't like it, I would really recommend trying the other flavors. I only wish they came in bulk sizes because 15 servings is not too many servings especially if you are really trying to lead an active lifestyle.

I was really excited to try a non animal sourced whey protein but this one missed the mark. The flavors were not that enjoyable and the product is quite expensive especially for the small amount in the bag. I tried the vanilla, berry & chocolate but didn’t really love any of them, although the vanilla was the best amongst the 3. This product could be great with some better flavors and cheaper price point.

The product is well presented. Great packaging! Most important, as a vegan, great taste!! No animal was harmed in the making. Love it

This powder is amazing. Normally whey protein upsets my stomach and causes me to lose my appetite. This powder just left me feeling calm and satiated. I just wish there was an unsweetened version.

The potential is there! You guys have done the work and this product is top of the line, an absolute game changer! Revolutionary! I love the science behind this product! This stuff is just as, if not more, water soluble than the animal derived whey I used to purchase years ago. Taste is great, smooth. Better tasting than any other vegan protein that I've tried... but I have a few suggestions for the product. 1. I don't care about taste, so I think there should be an unflavored option available. I'm consuming this product for nutrition, not pleasure. I'm not sipping on this for a half hour. I put the powder in the water, shake it up, and drink it all within a minute. I'm interested in this supplement for sports nutrition. 2. If there isn't going to be an unflavored option, I'd rather have real sugar than have stevia. The previous company I bought naturally flavored whey from originally had 4 grams of sucrose in a serving size. Eventually the formula changed, reducing to two grams of sucrose and adding stevia. Ever since they started adding stevia, my digestibility of their product went out the door. For the price I'm paying, I don't expect this product to cause any intestinal distress. Which leads me to my next point. 3. Get all of the gums and fillers out of there. I don't think there needs to be three gums, and sunflower oil creamer in there. All of these unnecessary additives are ruining the potential of the product. I'm trying to facilitate my best exercise recovery possible using this product. Fill that volume with additional protein, sugar, or enzymes. I noticed that there's erythritol in the mixed berry flavor, and for that reason I will not be trying that flavor. Useless additives make this is less appealing to people who struggle with a history of digestive issues 4. Price. I completely understand that it is not easy to produce this product, and a lot of work was put into its development. I'm not saying that you guys need to lower the price, but at least allow customers to buy the product in a larger size for a better deal. Paying $30 for 15 servings is going to put a ridiculous dent in my wallet since I'm having at least one serving daily. Bottom line: I want to buy it again, but I need to see improvements to the purity of this product to keep paying at the price that it sells for. I'm here for the protein. Please don't take offense to anything written here. I wrote these things based off of my honest opinion, because I want this company to succeed. Thus, I hope you take my suggestions into consideration.

Nice to be able to have Whey again! It doesn't blend as well as plant protein, but that might just be how it is. I've forgotten, because I haven't had whey protein in years. It tastes pretty decent. Either way, it's nice to have the option again!

The product wasn’t tor me. I’m lactose intolerant and thought I could try it and be safe, but it didn’t.

As the other reviews have said, this is probably one of, if not the, most smooth vegan protein powders you can buy. If you can stomach the cost, it's the best vegan protein powder on the market in my opinion. Though personally, I am allergic to a lot of vegan protein powders (soy and pea) so I think I may be a bit biased. Vanilla is the best flavor out of the three. Chocolate is ok and Mixed Berry is truly horrendous. I could barely bring myself to finish the first bottle I mixed and I never made any more of it. None of the flavors were that great though: it's still protein powder of course.
