NAKED Vanilla Pea Protein Isolate from North American Farms, Only 3 Ingredients, Vanilla Vegan Protein, NSF Certified, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, GMO Free - 2LB

I was hesitant to purchase due to some of the reviews about flavor. I was looking for something that was affordable, with minimal ingredients so it doesn't upset my stomach, and one that was NSF certified so I could feel confident in the quality. I always add my protein to my smoothies so I personally dont like the super sweetened protein powders because its overpowering for me. So far i love this protein because its exactly what ive been looking for. It has that grainy/chalky protein taste but i really dont mind that with my protein, although I know some people do. Definitely wouldnt just add it to water or milk and expect it to taste awesome but for smoothies and if you want a clean, reliable product to bump up your protein intake, this is an awesome protein powder. Just depends on what matters to you.

Hard to beat the price per serving at around 90c for 25g of complete plant protein (if you get the 5lbs tub).I recommend double portioning if you're bulking.The taste is... too natural. If you've ever eaten truly fresh vanilla bean or have eaten vanilla sugar, it tastes exactly like that. It smells strongly of pea protein, but tastes strongly of natural vanilla. It borderline makes me shiver when I drink it due to the intense and somewhat unpleasant flavor, imo.The 1lb tub is a great choice to try out the flavor, despite its higher price per portion.It is not as filling as other plant protein powders like No Cow- but that's because it only has 3 ingredients and a lower fat and fiber content.HARDLY ANY FIBER! Shocking and disappointing, but stems from the simple ingredients list.Very easy to blend in water. It's about as hydrolyzed as you can get with pea protein. Just make sure to use enough water if you want hate drinking thick shakes.Lastly, using it in smoothies is a great and cost effective choice (if you buy the 5lbs tub) to get plenty of plant-based goodness in.

I was skeptical to try this - especially so much that needed to be purchased without knowing if I would like it or not. So, I tried the vanilla flavor which in my opinion I can't taste the vanilla. Maybe if I had had the unflavored first, I could compare. But anyway, I use 2 cups of soy milk for extra protein (16 grams) and add 3-4 dates to help with sweetness and flavor. It is not the best in terms of texture, but it is smooth enough for me. It is not overly gritty or chalky in my opinion, but I have a Vitamix which is the king of blenders so it is relatively smooth. I've gotten use to it and plan to keep purchasing. I love the minimal ingredients and it is affordable. I only wish they would ship it in a smaller container. The container is HUGE and only about half full. That's not from settling.

I really wanted to like this protein powder. The price is great, and the ingredient list is clean and simple, which I really appreciate. I also like that it’s plant-based, making it a good option for a variety of dietary preferences.However, the flavor just didn’t work for me. I actually thought I might have accidentally ordered the unflavored version at first because the vanilla taste is extremely mild and barely noticeable. It also has a slightly gritty texture, even when blended.That said, it does have some positives. It blends well in a smoothie without clumping, and I didn’t experience any digestive issues or stomach discomfort, which is important for me with protein powders.I’ve been using it in protein shakes, and while I’ll finish the container, I personally wouldn’t purchase it again due to the lack of flavor and texture. If taste isn’t a priority and you’re looking for a very clean, simple protein powder, this could still work for you.

I will say this is not the tastiest protein powder out there. I didn’t come to this powder for taste, rather I sought it in order to reduce additives in my diet. It does mix pretty well and chunks up like most whey powders so an electric whisk is best and blender bottle second.My favorite flavor is for sure vanilla. I just think they did the best job masking some of the bean profile compared to the others. Chocolate is good but tastes more on the strait cacao side. And of course, unflavored is unflavored. I have tried them all. Vanilla is also very usable in ice cream, baking, and other uses in the kitchen.Give this protein a shot if you truly are interested in your digestion and gut health. I can drink a lot of this and feel fine unlike the casein/lactose counterparts. It does not taste the best and is granular in texture. Do not drink with water if you care about flavor profile. Overall, it mixes well.I recommend mixing two scoops of this with A2 milk 2% 20 oz, two tablespoons of pumpkin puree, and a dash of cinnamon. Maybe add some vanilla extract. Gradually add the ingredients and stir with an electric wand. It tastes great!

It is very easy to blend and a wonderful product just as advertised! It’s a very acquired taste though- I make it into a protein coffee shake and add a little sugar and it makes it taste a bit better but no complaints bc of the amount of protein and also how clean of a product it is. (If you can tolerate whey I’d recommend getting the vanilla whey version- it is the most delicious drink ever, I can’t tolerate the extra dairy anymore which is why I switched but regardless very grateful for such an easy way to get my protein in) I can look past the taste but fyi it is not extremely delicious I have to say BUT for what it is and all the benefits it is a wonderful product- I just have to remember I’m drinking it for protein not as a dessert like the whey version was to me🙏😋

I have tried 5 different brands of protein so far, the vanilla flavor is hardly detectable, not a big deal, and in my shaker bottle it tends to settle on bottom & when shaken it has a grainy consistency going down my throat, which seems to be a common trait with most powders I’ve tried, and that’s a challenge at times due to a spinal chord surgery c-3 to c-7 & the grainy texture makes me cough a lot. The reason I’ve started trying protein powders is I try to go to gym every day but avg 5 days a week, trying to build/regain muscle mass I’ve lost, I’m currently 75y/o & my skeleton is pretty banged up. I’m giving it a 4 rating & may buy again.

Word of Caution -Now I saw some reviews on this Company’s Vanilla flavor. People’s reviews were some good, some bad. I wanted to try out a plant based protein powder. So I decided to give it a try. I would honestly just like people to know for their benefit. That my first response after mixing it with vanilla almond milk was “dogfood” then a small sip by my children who did not witness my tasting also had a first response of “eww dogfood”.Now to Naked’s credit, I do believe it is a good product. Especially for the simple reasons of just the basic ingredients needed. My word of caution is that you must be prepared for this to taste nothing like a major brand of Whey Vanilla protein powder. I am going to continue to finish the product by experimenting with further additions to see if I can take the edge off the taste. However unless, I can find a better way to mix it, I will not be purchasing this product again.

I gave it a 5 star for the following reasons which also has its cons to them, but easily worked around:- It's not overly sweet. In fact the barely there sweetness makes it almost a turn-off. However, compared to other brands that are "too sweet", I can control the sweetness factor to my liking by adding fruit and whatever else I want to my liking.-to get 25gr of protein per serving, you need the too large scoops. Technically this would equate to 2.5lbs of any other supplement that requires the one scoop for the same amount of protein. Still a deal!-The list of ingredients is as clean as you'll find out there! Just for this reason alone this is a great purchase!-If baking with this and want to get the same amount of protein per servings as the one scoop counterpart, you'll have to change up the recipe a bit to accomodate the extra dry ingredients to liquid ration.-I made chocolate protein icing with the chocolate version on my protein brownies.............the possibilities are endless! Just make a few adjustments and trust me, you'll end up loving it!

Tastes like an early Joe Weider formula I used to favour. However there is no vanilla taste to this product at all which is very disappointing. Guess I'll be stuck with ordering the one without vanilla next time.

Not sure if it was a bad tub or the standard taste but the taste was really off. Doesnt taste like vanilla at all and it overtook the entire smoothie.

Tastes disgusting

This tastes awefuuuuul🫣 I wanted to like it so bad but every sip was worse and worse
