Bulk Vegan Protein Powder, Vanilla, 1 kg, Packaging May Vary

I have found that the prices for Bulk's protein powders can vary wildly based on flavour alone; one that is about £12/kg can suddenly become £20/kg when it's time to reorder. As such, I look around and buy whichever is cheapest at the time. This time it was the vegan powder, vanilla flavour. It was the first time I'd tried a shake based on pea protein. The reviews were mixed, with some saying it tastes horrible and is grainy. I don't care - it serves a purpose and enjoyment isn't top of the list. As it happens, I love it. The taste is biscuity; think plain digestive or perhaps custard cream. The powder seems to disperse and create a 'suspension in solution' rather than dissolve. This does indeed make for a thicker-than-water drink with a powdery feel. This I enjoy too. It's not much different from being creamy and I do look forward to drinking it. I would like to buy this one again when it runs out but I see that the price has already jumped from £11.96 to £21.92. Hopefully it will come down again.

If you're used to whey protein powder then you will likely find this vegan protein powder to be very different. First of all, it doesn't dissolve well. Forget about mixing by hand, it is very grainy and clumpy: you need a blender to get the most out of it. Don't try it plain with water, you will regret it. On the other hand, it works really well if you add some fruit and make a shake. Stir it into Greek yoghurt to make a very interesting soft dough-like snack! Secondly, it has a bit of a distinctive flavour. It doesn't seem to go well with dairy milk, but plant-based milk complements it nicely. In summary, it's good stuff - but different.

I'm not vegan, but I try to limit my dairy consumption where I can. Having spent a long time trying to find a good value protein powder, this was the obvious choice. This doesn't make the single best tasting protein shakes I've ever had, but it's pleasant and does the job. I was ultimately looking for a vegan blend, as I read that they mix better than just going for 100% soy, hemp or whatever. Plus, I generally like to have less soy if I can. Bulk stuff is generally good in my experience and this powder provides a nice balance between quality and value. My only real complaint is that there's not a 5 kilo version of this. It would be the same quantity offered by their whey protein powder, offering the best value for money.

Look, protein powder needs to do 3 simple things: blend well with liquid, not be awful and be easy to digest. This thing fails on all fronts. Good luck trying to mix it with water / milk, all you'll get are a bunch of lumps in your bottle. The texture, too, is absolutely awful: I have 1 scoop of protein with my porridge in the morning, and this thing turned it into a slimy lumpy soup. Even when you drink it just with water or milk, it feels like you're drinking plaster. The flavor is just bad; I bought the vanilla one and I struggled to recognise it to be honest. Sure, better than those extra-chemical vanilla flavors, but this barely taste like anything. Finally, I also felt it was a lot heavier on my stomach than the standard whey proteins. I'll definitely stick to those.

Is it so powdery, even mixed in things, it has a horrible taste and texture. It coats your mouth in a film of powdery yuk and is disgusting 🤮

Firstly, for a Vegan protein powder, this is a good product. It is a finely milled powder, with a smooth texture. It mixes well (in with porridge), and any lumps are easily dispersed. The Vanilla flavour is good (like vanilla ice-cream). The list of ingredients are impressive. The protein content is at about the right level. The Vanilla flavoured one is not at all sickly (unless you really don't like any hint of sweetness). Secondly, the Stevia! Stevia sweetener does have an unpleasant aftertaste, which is noticeable in this product, if it is not mixed with something else (such as porridge, or fruit such as a banana etc....). The taste of the Stevia was too much for me, and the product ended up in the bin! Am now using USN 100% Pure Plant Protein Powder, which is so much better! .

This protein powder is a blend of grains that mixes well and also blends well into smoothies - delicious with Soy milk. It is too sweet for blending to savoury sauces, so a natural neutral flavour would be welcome. A good produce at a good price and with good eco packaging.

I've been weightlifting for a few years now, and have tried a variety of different shakes as a result. I thought I would try a vegan powder next (save the planet and all that). Without doubt, this is the worst shake I've ever had. The taste is horrendous and the texture no better. I genuinely struggled to keep it down. Do yourself a favour and look to an alternative. One bonus though, it comes in thick paper packagaing and not plastic. David Attenborough will be pleased.

J'ai attendu d'avoir utilisé cette poudre pendant plusieurs semaines avant de donner mon avis. Je trouve que c'est un super produit, avec un très bon rapport qualité prix, et personnellement je ne trouve pas que le goût de vanille soit mauvais, bien au contraire. La cuillère-mesure qui est fournie dans le paquet correspond à un poids de 35 g de produit, qui donnent 130 calories et 23 g de protéines. Je l'utilise en dessert, je mets une demi mesure dans un yaourt bio nature à 0% de matière grasse (35 calories), ça me fait un délicieux yaourt à la vanille très sain, bien protéiné, et sucré juste ce qu'il faut, pour peu de calories, ce qui est parfait quand on veut perdre du poids sans perdre de muscles. Si je veux plus de protéines, je mets une dose complète, mais je rajoute une cuillère à soupe d'eau dans le yaourt sinon il est trop pâteux. Les deux ou trois premiers jours j'ai eu quelques ballonnements et je me suis demandé si ça venait du supplément, mais j'ai continué à le prendre quand même et ça a disparu, donc je ne sais même pas si c'était dû au produit. En tout cas j'en suis ravie, il est bien moins cher que mon ancien supplément et il est plus protéiné. J'essaierai peut-être d'autres arômes de la même marque, ou je reprendrai de la vanille, je ne sais pas encore, mais je pense reprendre mon prochain supplément chez eux.

Gutes Produkt zur Proteinergänzung. Da es aus verschiedenen pflanzlichen Quellen gemacht wird, deckt es ein breites Amionsäurensprektrum ab, was besser ist, gerade, wenn man sich rein pflanzlich ernährt. Stevia, welche als Süssungsmittel benutzt wird, hat für mich einen zu starken Eigengeschmack, den ich eher unangenehm finde. Was Löslichkeit und Geschmack angeht verstehe ich die negativen Bewertungen hier nicht. Ich nutze schon lange einen Standmixer, um meine Proteinshakes zu mixen, so erhalte ich auch mit diesem Produkt einen schön glatten Shake. Als Flüssigkeit nehme ich Säfte oder Mandelmilch. Warum hier auf Amazon die geschmacksneutrale Variante von Bulk nicht angeboten wird ist mir ein kleines Rätsel. Es lohnt sich daher auf bulk.com direkt zu schauen. Dort findet sich auch die neutrale Variante dieses veganen Protein Pulvers, welche ich bevorzuge.

Je pensais faire une bonne découverte en achetant ce produit... J'ai pris 1kg de protéines vanille et je suis franchement déçu. La saveur de vanille je ne la reconnais même pas, même en smoothie, en porridge, la saveur est si forte et désagréable que j'ai du mal à la consommer... Et en shaker j'ai essayé, n'en parlons pas : c'est épais, ça ne se mélange pas à l'eau, et la saveur est vraiment pas bonne... C'est peut être juste moi, mais la protéine de soja Vanille de Myprotein par exemple est déjà plus agréable au gout

niveau composition, absorption, mélange, digestion aucun soucis. mais le goût est un peu hard avec un goût farineux de pois assez prononcé et la saveur vanille artificielle par dessus. à tester en mélange sans doute.

I have to say this is the worst tasting plant based protein powder i have ever tried. The price seems ok so I thought I'd give it a try ... but after three attempts I will have to throw it away. it has a nasty artificial kind of aftertaste. Don't buy.
