an.duine.dorcha Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Something that tastes good... Is that so much to ask for? Haha. I cannot eat Vega if my life depended on it. I literally almost projectile vomited downing just half a scoop (albeit it was mixed with water). That being said, it needs to be decent with water, at least to the point I can swallow it....

chewybaws Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Sun Warrior was the best tasting protein powder I've had but it's expensive. I also like http://www.hempnatural.com/Hemp-Protein-Powder-Strawberry-2500g.php that stuff but think they're UK based. To be honest just now I'm just using up some plain Pea Protein I've got. I hate the taste but just get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I HATED protein powder when I started using it for the first time. But stick at it and you get used to it.I remember detesting even Sunwarrior with water... Now I absolutely LOOOVE it! Definitely my favorite.Just keep your expectations low - protein powder (especially plant protein with water only) is NEVER going to taste as good as a shake. They also tend to be a bit dusty/earthy feeling.Maybe try adding a little extra cocoa, stevia or other natural flavoring to it to improve the taste. I've read that mesquite has a caramel-like flavor and is also high in protein (but I've never tried it.)1 teaspoon of stevia is how I initially got used my Sunwarrior, but now I don't even need it Good luck on your search!

vegansludge Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 To be honest just now I'm just using up some plain Pea Protein I've got. I hate the taste but just get on with it. Mixing pea with brown rice is the best way to go about it. I'm currently using a 65/35 split and it's actually not terrible - I prefer it to the soy powder I was using beforehand. Other than using Vega, which I've found to be the best pre-mixed powder on the market, I'd recommend checking out ordering a comparable split from either MyProtein or TrueProtein - both of which are vegan friendly and pretty good when you're strapped for cash. If someone's really set on soy, though, both of those sites carry it. I just find the texture and taste to be rather bland and I already get a decent amount of soy protein eating TVP and drinking soy milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
