Sprout Living Epic Protein Original, 454 g

Horrible taste, impossible to drink this and also now worried about the review on Unable To Verify Heavy Metal Testing Claims. This is what generally happens with non EU products..

I’ve tried countless protein powder brands over the years, and I always seemed to have some type of reaction — acne, bloating, or really bad gas. I was just about ready to give up until I stumbled across this brand. That was 7 years ago, and it’s been the only brand I’ve used since. I’ve had absolutely no side effects. I've tried the vanilla and chocolate flavors, but I found them too sweet and noticed a bit of a strange aftertaste, so I’ve stuck with the Original flavor all these years. Some people have complained about the grit, and I agree — this is not a protein powder you just mix with water in a shaker cup and enjoy. Since there are no gums, lecithins, artificial “creaminess” agents, etc., I think you absolutely need a blender. Here are 3 quick ways I use it, from most to least favorite: 1. Bulletproof-style shake I use a Vitamix blender. Make sure your blender container can safely handle hot liquids before trying this. There’s no added sweetener, but you could always add a bit of honey or maple syrup if you want. • 1.5 cups HOT water (you can also use hot coffee or tea, but I just use water) • 1.5 scoops protein powder • 1 tablespoon of your favorite nut butter (I use almond or mixed nut butter) • 1 tablespoon coconut oil • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg Blend for 2 full minutes — this part is important. Don’t shorten the blending time. 2. Smoothies The trick with smoothies is adding your liquid first, then the protein powder. Blend that alone for about 30 seconds before adding the rest of your ingredients. Add plenty of ice so you can blend longer without heating up the smoothie. I usually blend for at least 1 minute, sometimes longer depending on how packed the smoothie is. Longer blending makes a huge difference in texture. 3. Oatmeal For oatmeal, blend the protein powder with your preferred hot or warmed liquid first and let it sit for about 10 minutes. While it sits, make your oatmeal a little thicker than normal because you'll be stirring in the protein mixture at the end, which will thin it out. This is my least favorite way to use it because I can still detect a little bit of grit, but it’s much better than stirring the protein powder directly into the oatmeal. Baking: Baking with this protein powder is amazing too. I make protein pancakes regularly. If you’re using a premix (I use Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free pancake mix), add 1 scoop of protein powder per 1 cup of mix, plus an extra 3 tablespoons of milk or water. This small-batch protein cookie recipe is also a winner: Wet ingredients: • ½ cup mixed nut butter (about 125 g) • ¼ cup maple syrup (60 ml) • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon unsweetened dairy-free milk (I use Ripple pea protein milk) • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Dry ingredients: • ¼ cup (not the scooper) unflavored protein powder • 1½ teaspoons carob powder (or *cocoa powder) • 2 tablespoons coconut flour • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda • ⅛ teaspoon salt Optional: • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips Mix the wet ingredients together in one bowl and the dry ingredients in another. Combine everything, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fold in the chocolate chips. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes. *I personally prefer carob powder because it's naturally caffeine-free, which makes these a nice treat option for little ones too. If using cocoa powder instead, you may want to add a touch more maple syrup since cocoa is less sweet than carob. This protein powder is amazing once you know how to work with it!

Buena cantidad de proteína por medida. Sabe feo...o raro. Espesa mucho. Pero sirve.

Love this unflavored original protein powder. I was looking for a clean ingredients, no fillers, and. alkaline friendly. It also is third party tested for purity and heavy metals. I find it blends well in my smoothies. Using unflavored powders I have more control on the sweetness. Most of the powders that claim to be low sugar were way too sweet and added a lot of fillers.

I bought the original flavor and omg it's AMAZING 🤩 it's not sweet which I love it and it doesn't clump and mixes perfectly, no bad after taste and clear about their ingredients, no gum no weird additives, vegan and organic too! It's literally AWESOME 👍🏼 would recommend FOR SURE 💯💯💯

I’ve tried many protein powders, they are either full of extra sugars or other additives . Love the protein powder, very simple clean ingredients and taste is good. Fourth package, will keep ordering.
