KOS Plant Based Protein Powder, Blueberry Muffin - Organic Pea Protein Superfood with Spirulina and Immune Support Blend. Soy, Gluten, Dairy Free - Vegan Meal Replacement for Women & Men - 15 Servings

This is the best vegan protein powder I've tried-hands down. Whoever has a problem with the texture/chalkiness is probably not mixing it well. I have tried the blueberry muffin, salted caramel, vanilla and strawberries & cream flavors and I have enjoyed all of them. There is a slight fake sugar/stevia taste but to be expected. Mix in a blender bottle, put in a smoothie or add to a baking recipe- it's great. Worth the higher price point and love the ingredients too.

Cheap and affordable and delicious. I added a banana and it tastes like a healthy blueberry banana muffin. It’s delicious! Worth the purchase and will be purchasing another item fro m the brand. Also plant based! Amazing!

I am fairly new to the protein shake scene although I have tried a few other brands. Needless to say I thought they were disgusting - I'm not a picky eater at all - but the search to find one that worked for me led me here. First, let me say that most protein shakes or meal replacements I've used are WAY too sweet - we don't need that in our protein shakes or meal replacements. I found this particular brand to have just the right amount of sugar - and I always have a sweet tooth - so it wasn't too sweet and not under sweetened for me. Since it's plant based protein, and is fibrous (I wouldn't describe it as grainy like some meal replacements) this naturally makes it difficult to mix unless you use a BLENDER. So yes, use a blender and this will work much better than trying to shake the ingredients together. If you're ok drinking tiny chunks or the feeling of a wad of plant fibre on your tongue, then do you. It's just a consistency preference. Even blended you're going to feel the "pulpiness" in your mouth. The problem, too, is that even if you use a blender and don't drink it right away, and instead allow it to sit for several minutes (if you're a slow drinker) the ingredients WILL separate. But, this is a decent thickness shake. The fact that the flavour is chocolate and that it's not too sweet helps with the palpability of the drink. I'm satisfied with the ingredients and the fact that they seem pretty clean. I didn't like the idea that there were added probiotics - but I guess a little extra in my diet won't hurt. What I love about this product is that there is no erythritol, gluten or soy, and no artificial flavours or colours (according the the label) and the fact that it is GMP certified AND deemed USDA organic. That being said, "organic" is over-rated because that just means that none of the ingredients have been treated prior with synthetic pesticides - however, the growers of the plants used in the product can still use pesticides that aren't synthetic - like neem oil, pyrethrin from flowers, or certain mineral-based sprays. Everyone thinks "organic" means no pesticides - not true. Certainly the latter isn't nearly as bad for us, but these food items still are not 100% organic in the way most people think - completely free of sprays, etc. So, that fact along with the blendability not being great, makes me feel like this is pretty pricey - it's over $30 for only 20.6 ounces. Even on the subscription it still remains pricey because it doesn't save you a significant amount. One (1) serving - per the directions - requires TWO scoops of the protein powder. If we do the math, that only gives us roughly 9 shakes, with about 3/4 of a cup of powder left over. Essentially, that's $3.33 per shake and I would not consider this KOS "high end" because of the factors mentioned above. Therefore, my opinion is that this product is overpriced by no less than $10. That may not sound like much but to stay "in stock" and ahead to have your protein shakes all month, this would require buying 4 containers a month, which comes out to $120 a month for a dang plant drink. Considering the cost of life, when you break it down like that, who can afford to consistently use this product at that price? If you buy 4 containers per month to stay "in stock" and have your drinks each day of the month for 12 months (an entire year) then you would be paying $1,440 for a simple protein drink. Wow. That's a lot. I can't justify that so I'll have to keep searching to find something more comparable. In case you're wondering, the seal was fine when mine arrived - it's just a piece of paper that's glued around the ring of the container much like when you open a jar of spices. If you can afford KOS, more power to you - you will probably like it, but for my workouts it's a "luxury" I can't sustainably afford.

Alright, I'll start off by saying this is the BEST protein powder I have ever had. I have tried multiple brands (big and small, MLM or bought at target) and a lot I have trashed. I have a degree in nutrition and fitness, I'm a wife, a boy mom chef, a very busy online nutrition and fitness professional. I don't have time for crappy products. I don't want to be eating or drinking them, I won't recommend them to my clients and I certainly won't give them to my kids or family. Thankfully this product hit the amazing mark in everything. 1. The plant protein sources; pea, flax, quinoa, pumpkin and chia. Pea protein is an awesome source of protein along with the carbs we want. Flax and chia are great sources of omega 3's (which we all need more of since we are typically high in omega 6 which causes inflammation), Chia seeds are perfect for adding in additional fiber into our diets with very little effort. Quinoa is the perfect mix of protein and good carbs and pumpkin is amazing for our reproductive health - women and men! 2. The awesome enzyme blend; amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, and cellulase. Protease which digests protein. Amylase digests carbohydrates. Lipase for fats and oils digestion. Lactase which digests dairy products. And cellulase that converts glucose. Who wouldn't want this in their protein shake? 3. The sweet stuff. Organic agave, Organic Coconut Sugar, Stevia, Monk Fruit. Perfect blend of sweet without being too sweet and a bonus because it doesn't upset any of the little bellies in my home. 4. The fruit and vegetable blend they have formulated is perfect! It leaves no grit, even with foods like quinoa and seeds being in it. It blends perfectly, super smooth, cooks well, freezes in other foods well, isn't clumpy, and it's $39? People pay $200+ for a shake that doesn't taste half as good and is loaded with things that can cause a lot of GI distress. I would easily pay $200 for this shake. They batch test their own products..no weird, sketchy other company needed. If something is too high - the ditch it! 5. This one is pretty important. Their customer service is amazing! I work in an industry where client relations is SO important and these guys nailed it with their team. They've answered tons of questions for me and have been so kind! I ordered the Vanilla to try first - but I love it so much I know that the chocolate will be just as good if not better! I'll be ordering that tonight. Happy to say I will never have to try or search for another protein powder again! I will 100% be recommending this to ALL of my clients, family, friends and anyone I know because I love it that much!

Love KOS. So good. Tried multiple flavors, by far the best.

Taste is not impressive. Better than other brands but not as good as I expected
