Best Pea Protein Powders of 2025

"I've been using this powder for years—it's no nonsense and gets the job done. I have zero tummy issues with it. Although it's unflavored, it has a distinct taste. I typically add frozen fruit and monk fruit sweetener in my smoothies. When I drink it plain, I mix it with cinnamon and ice-cold water. I love using it to make vegan protein muffins, which turn out wonderfully dense and structured. It's one of the best options for macro counting, especially for vegans."

"I turned to Anthony's Pea Protein after my previous brand was discontinued. This product exceeded my expectations in taste and mixability. It blends smoothly with almond milk and doesn't have the gritty consistency of other powders. I use it in my smoothies with spinach, frozen blueberries, and a banana, and it integrates perfectly. The only downside I noticed is its fine powdery texture, which can be a bit messy if you're not careful."

"Starting my healthy eating journey, I sought more protein. While whey made me feel bloated, I found Anthony's pea protein requires some adjustment. Initially, I didn't enjoy it in smoothies, but when blended into soup with strong flavors like turmeric or curry, it becomes rich and creamy. I learned that mixing it with hot water and strong-flavored additives like cocoa or peanut butter masks the taste well. After some trial and error, I'm now happy with it!"

"I was initially worried about the flavor of this powder, but I decided to order it for its good protein to calorie ratio and vegan status. I mixed two scoops with vanilla almond milk, and after chilling it, the mixture was drinkable. It tasted like Playdough smells, with a bit of a salty aftertaste. It’s not worse than other protein powders I’ve tried, and I think it could work well in smoothies or overnight oats."

"After experimenting with various protein powders, I gave this one a shot because it has few, pronounceable ingredients. Unfortunately, no amount of fruits could cover the taste for me. I’d rate it 5 stars for healthiness and 3 for taste."

"I love that this protein powder contains minimal real food ingredients and real sugar. I tried the chocolate flavor, but I found it lacking in sweetness and not very chocolatey. The pea flavor was quite strong, but after adding a little sugar, it tasted much better. While the flavor isn't great, I think it’s worth it for the healthy ingredients."

"As a bodybuilding vegan, I've transformed my health. My blood pressure is 115/75, and cholesterol dropped to 150. NOW Foods Sports Nutrition made my transition easier with affordable, quality protein like Pea Protein. I use 50-100g daily, and it works fantastic!"

"I have a dairy allergy, so options are limited. At first, the texture was grainy and the taste earthy, but I grew to love it. It blends well in smoothies with frozen fruit and vegetables. Now, I can't go back to sweet protein powders!"

"This product has 24g of protein per serving with no fillers. While it doesn't taste bad, it's a bit like sawdust. I've started mixing it with orange juice, and it's delightful! I recommend it for an efficient, vegan protein without added sugars."

"I have tried MANY protein powders, and this one ranks in my top 3. It's super affordable and doesn't leave that nasty aftertaste. My go-to breakfast drink is 2 scoops of Vanilla, 16oz of water, 2 TBSP of low-fat peanut butter, and a small handful of berries. It tastes delicious and provides about 30G of protein with less than 200 calories."

"I recently bought this as my first vegan protein shake. While the texture was a bit grainy, it wasn't too bothersome. The taste was decent, although it had a slight aftertaste I couldn't quite identify. I found it to be creamy and not difficult to blend, especially if I made a paste first. I'm looking forward to trying different flavors, particularly the chocolate one."

"I've been using the Orgain Organic Protein Vanilla flavor for a few months, and it’s now a staple in my routine. The taste is rich and smooth, not too sweet. The consistency is just right for everything from smoothies to mixing with water or milk. It keeps me satisfied for hours, and I've noticed a nice boost in my energy levels since incorporating it into my diet. This plant-based protein powder is truly worth trying!"

"I bought several bags of this protein, and while the first two were great, my latest one seems different. The powder looks thinner and tastes bland. It mixes well but lacks the flavor I relied on. I depend on this for my calorie intake, and I'm not sure if this bag is faulty or if there was a change in production. It's frustrating!"

"I've been using pea protein for over a year, and I decided to give this brand a shot due to its low cost. Unfortunately, I started experiencing bloating and gas, which made it uncomfortable to use. I tried it for a few weeks, but the issues didn't go away, so I had to toss the rest of the bag. It might work for others, but it was a problem for me."

"The taste is pretty neutral, and I've grown to like its slightly savory flavor. I appreciate that it can easily be masked with other flavorings when making shakes. As a strict soy-free vegan, I find that this protein feels complete and doesn’t upset my stomach, which is a huge plus."

"I've tried many plant-based protein powders, but this one stands out. Best taste and texture of any I've had! I appreciate the quality of ingredients and will definitely keep repurchasing!"

"This protein powder is a fantastic deal. I love that it’s super healthy and organic. It mixes well into anything I make, though I do have to really mix it to avoid lumps. The subscribe & save option is a huge plus for me!"

"I rarely write reviews, but I have to warn others about my experience. This protein is just not for me. I find the taste quite unpleasant, and I even get blisters on my tongue after trying it. I guess I’ll have to throw it away..."

"I chose this product because I wanted a smaller, affordable option to try. It worked out perfectly for my protein needs on plasma donation days. I made delicious Peanut Butter Balls using this powder, and they were so easy to prepare. I could eat them before and after donating!"

"I use this powder almost daily in my smoothies to increase my protein intake. The flavor is very mild and pleasant, which I appreciate. Plus, it's grown in Canada, giving me confidence in the quality of the product."

"I found the taste of this protein powder to be much better compared to others I’ve tried. However, I noticed it has a bit of a gritty texture. I only use half a scoop to avoid that."

"I was drawn to this product for its non-dairy, non-grain, and low sodium features. My stomach is sensitive to dairy, so finding this alternative was fantastic. While I dislike the smell when I open the jar, it blends well with berries and is unexpectedly smooth in coffee. I’ll definitely recommend it to my fitness class members."

"I love that this product is low sodium and vegan! The vitamins and healthy attributes are great, and it feels like a quality product. The flavorless option is appealing as it reduces sugar and sodium, which usually upset my stomach. However, it has a grainy texture and a somewhat odd aftertaste, even when mixed with fruit. Regardless, it's worth it, as I feel fantastic after consuming it."

"At first, I was hesitant about using Pea Protein, but I found it much better for bloat compared to whey. Since it contains no sugar, it can taste quite plain unless you add something to it. I mix it with fruit, cocoa, flaxseed, and yogurt to enhance the flavor, and it provides a lot of nutrients without the high calories of whey. I'm really enjoying it!"

"I find that one serving packs 29 grams of protein. The taste isn’t fantastic, but I'd rather add my own sweeteners than deal with artificial ones. This is one of the better-tasting pure pea proteins I’ve tried, and it's helped me gain lean mass."

"I’m a fan of this product for its impressive protein content of 29 grams per scoop. While the earthy taste might not be my favorite, mixing it with whey protein could improve it. For the price, it’s a great value overall."

"I've been using this for a while and love the protein boost it adds to my cooking and baking. It has no noticeable flavor when mixed into foods, and the value is unbeatable for 7 pounds of product."

"I'm not a vegan, but I've been using Vega Protein and Greens for a couple of years. Other protein powders would cause me to bloat and give me intestinal discomfort. Switching to Vega has completely removed that issue for me. I like the chocolate flavor despite a slight chemical aftertaste, which is much less than other brands. The texture is soft and powdery, making it great for milk, although it can be tricky in smoothies since it tends to float or clump."

"As a 48-year-old woman going through perimenopause, I needed to find a good protein option. I initially mixed this with Greek yogurt and blueberries, and while it was tasty, it got very thick. Trying it with just water was a game changer—it tasted great! I used to love Shakeology, but this is much more affordable and tastes similar, although it has a slight grit that doesn't bother me."

"My teenage sons love this protein powder, especially the berry flavor. I appreciate that it has greens added and doesn't have a chalky texture. We use a Ninja blender to mix it with frozen fruit and milk, and everyone enjoys the taste. It's become our go-to protein option!"
