About Time Vegan Protein Powder 22g Vanilla, Natural Ingredients, Non-GMO, Plant Based, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, 32 Servings

Very good taste & quality ingredients

I couldn't wait to try this since I'm attempting to not eat animal protein (of any kind) any longer. I tried this with just water (as I always do with protein powders) and it had a slight chocolate taste which was ok. I then "doctored" it by adding low-cal cashew milk, honey (just a bit, to sweeten) and about a half-a-table spoon of peanut butter and then it became amazing and smooth and flavorful. Perhaps some reading this would say that it "defeats the purpose" of adding calories through honey and fat through peanut butter but our bodies do need "good fats." Regardless, this is the FIRST product that has not bothered my stomach, tastes great (with the recipe I came up with) and that I have almost finished the entire TUB of product for. I think my body just reacted well to this product and, as an added bonus, I don't feel hungry (or crave sweets, as I used to) since beginning use of this product. Now, at almost six foot tall, I feel like I'm able to provide my body with the protein it needs, without guilt!

I really enjoy this protein powder. I don't drink whey because I often have a bad reaction to it (my stomach doesn't like it) and so I am left picking from vegan options. I like this protein powder because it has a good flavor - sort of like chickpeas and chocolate. OK it's not an ice cream sundae, but I'm drinking this for the protein, not as a treat. It's a little grainy but that really doesn't bother me. I will continue to buy it when the price is low, because for the price it's an excellent protein shake. Not sure if this is a complete protein though.

Update; been using this stuff few months now and found while doing a Keto diet, this stuff works very well. No Xanthan, guar, or other crap gums so easy on the digestive tract. I have also found it cheaper on other websites so I'll alternate between here and there depending on price. I have found lucky vitamin sells it $10 cheaper but not all the time. I usually gag when it comes to vegan protein shakes. I mean they're usually awful. However, this one isn't bad. Doesn't taste like a frosty or cookies and cream like all those artificial ones do but if that's what you're looking for, you'll have to buy the fake flavors. The last time I bought a very expensive vegan protein it was so bad, so awful I decided vegan wasn't for me. But being allergic to dairy I don't have many options. So I decided to try this and I'm impressed. It mixes very well, very smooth. I used a small hand wire whip and that got the job done fast. I like that I only need one scoop for the amount of protein as I really hate thick drinks. This stuff thickens up nice but not too the point of trying to drink clay. Happy with purchase, will buy again

I have loved every About time product that I have ever purchased. I bought this protein based on my previous experience with this company. I am particular about the ingredients in products I consume, as well as the source. This product is great, except for the taste. I am usually pretty good about just sucking it up if I don't prefer the taste of something. If it is good for me, I just deal with it. But this protein was very difficult to get down. Even when blended with a banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, frozen fruit, etc. Nothing I did made it manageable for me. It was chalky and almost musty tasting to me. Great product, but the taste is not preferred. Give it a try yourself if you are looking for quality ingredients. You make like the taste better than I.

I've gone back and forth with this and Plant Fusion because of price fluctuations, but keep settling back to this - for one thing, it doesn't have fructose in it. They both taste ok to me, the Plant Fusion may taste a little better, but this feels "cleaner" - I can't really put my finger on it. If you are mixing with water, the vanilla tastes better if you add some juice or Dasani drops to it, to give it a little different flavor - I love it this way. I also prefer this brand because the nutritional package as a whole just can't be beat. It is better than anything out there for the price. I just got a flash on my browser page from Amazon promoting Orgain as a better bargain, but that doesn't take into account that a serving size of the Orgain is two scoops while a serving size of the About Time (or Plant Fusion, for that matter) is 1 scoop, so no, the other is *not* cheaper (Amazon - are you listening?). Being a vegetarian, I also like that this product has iron and calcium in it. Getting enough iron is often an issue with my diet, and I'm currently avoiding dairy to see how it affects my system so the calcium is a help. The only thing I'm not too much of a fan of with this is that it *is* gritty - I don't mind that so much except it tickles my throat on the way down and makes me want to cough for just a minute after drinking this. Making a thinner drink by adding more water seems to help this quite a bit. YMMV.
