Nutricost Organic Pea Protein Powder

Unflavored pea protein from a trusted brand, vitacost. Only 110 calorie per scoop and 53 servings per container. Has 20 grams of protein and 0 sugar. I don't mind that it's unflavored as I add fruit and almond milk to my morning shakes, so still tastes great. Blends up easily and smooth with no clumpy thickness. This will last you for quite some time!

This is the definition of bulk. This comes in a super large tub and it makes you look like you live at the gym even if you don't. No one will question you with this tub sitting on your shelf. You get a massive amount of protein with a bit of fiber as well with little fat. It's unflavored so this can add a bunch of protein to any shake or smoothie.

According to a 2023 study published in Scientific Reports, plant and fish proteins had the best individual and environmental outcomes while meat proteins scored lower in nutrition, higher in health risks and had a worse environmental effect because of the greenhouse gas emissions created in production. Unhealthiest sources of protein are bacon, deli meats, and individual cheese slices wrapped in plastic. These foods are fairly high in protein but also come with a hefty dose of unhealthy fats, preservatives, and sodium.Plant protein powder is a high-quality protein rich in iron, arginine and branched-chain amino acids. It is generally considered an easy to digest protein and suitable for those with allergies to soy. The main difference between soy and plat protein lies in the amount of essential amino acids they contain. Pea protein for instance has a higher leucine content than soy protein, so it is better for supplementing muscle growth and recovery. Additionally, plant protein tends to have a less allergenic profile than soy protein.This Organic Pea Protein mixes well and has no flavor which is good for mixing into your favorite drinks and keeping the taste of the drink intact. It also offers great Vitamins and nutrients, and it is priced well at $44 for 53 servings. It also states that it is made at GMP facility. GPM is a system for ensuring that pharmaceutical products are consistently produced and controlled according to high quality standards.

Love that Nutricost's Pea Protein Powder is organic and low carb. Oftentimes plant based protein powder can have a high carb count. This unflavored protein powder has virtually no carbs, as the 1gram is offset by the 1 gram of dietary fiber. It is 20 grams of pure high quality protein. While it does mix thoroughly into liquids or yogurt, it is thick. Pea protein is not as smooth as whey isolate, but it is more filling. I feel satiated and satisfied for hours after consuming this protein with yogurt. It actually IS unflavored and doesn't change the taste of my yogurt.Nutricost's products are always non GMO, gluten free, vegan & animal free (in this case), 3rd party tested, and GMP compliant. The huge 3 lb. tub will last almost 2 months.

This product is the 56th protein powder that I've tried over the last 4 years, and while I've tried quite a few, it's always quickly apparent how I'm going to rate each one relative to all the others. Incidentally, this product is also the 3rd unflavored protein powder that I've tried, the first being unflavored Unjury Planted and the second being unflavored Spacemilk. This Nutricost product is closest to Unjury because both claim to solely contain non-GMO pea protein, while Nutricost also claims organic properties. For anyone who tends to avoid unflavored protein powders, I suggest giving this one a try. For what it's worth, I don't use unflavored protein powders on their own, but mix them with other flavored varieties that I either want to last longer, find to be too bold in flavor, or have different protein sources (to get a balance, such as mixing whey and pea protein). My key criteria list for a protein powder is short, but every criterion is significant to me. First, it needs to meet the status quo of 20g to 22g of protein per serving. Second, it needs to have good taste. Third, it needs to mix well without the need of a shaker bottle or blender. And fourth, it needs to lack artificial sweeteners (and ideally all sugars). Nutricost meets all of these criteria. This product provides protein at the low end of 20g per serving, but still makes the cut, even though I'm not paying attention to serving size or price per serving. This product also mixes extremely well when stirring it in a combination of water and milk. For what it's worth, I ordered this product because of my past positive experiences with several other Nutricost products. Comments for the single sub-four star review here so far complain about the "really strong pea flavor" and "grittyness", but I personally haven't experienced these attributes, and the reviewer who wrote these comments also mentioned they've tried this product to make pea soup, but this isn't its intended purpose.
