Biochem Vegan Protein Powder – 20g Plant-Based Protein with Pea, Hemp & Cranberry – Chocolate Flavor – Keto Friendly, Certified Vegan, Gluten Free, Kosher – 13.6 oz

It’s hard to find the right protein powder, but this one was top quality and tasted pretty good

My fave protein powder - love that it doesn’t have guar gum (like so many powders do). The texture is pretty smooth, and the chocolate taste really good.

I love love love this protein powder supplement! The flavor, and the ingredients, are exactly what I’m looking for to meet my daily routine and lifestyle goals. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is I feel like the container is only half full which makes it feel like I’m paying more for a container that is not full. I added pics to show how full the container was upon receiving my item.

I'm purchasing my second canister of Biochem's vegan chocolate protein shake. I originally bought it through a local market who was trying to move them, and I bought it for about what Amazon is charging, thinking it was a good price to try it (from the $25+ retail price at the store). At first I HATED it. I didn't really listen to the instructions, and I tried to make a smoothie with crushed ice, and rice milk, etc. It tasted like peas! And I even added ice cream at one point, and then some chocolate syrup... still gross. Then, I got gestational diabetes, and I needed the protein, but I wasn't allowed to have all the sugar. In an act of desperation, I made it according the recommended instructions, with very cold water. To be safe, I added a packet of stevia. WOW! It tasted good? The consistency was thick and I didn't taste the peas. I realized a ratio that was comprised of a smaller amount of fluid to a larger amount of product actually worked to counteract the pea flavor, which I couldn't taste at all. From there, I have tweaked it a little. I do add half chocolate rice milk, half cold water. If I want a more pudding-like consistency, I add only the rice milk, and it's really thick and tastes the most like vegan pudding as I've ever tasted. Can't speak for the vanilla flavor, but the chocolate is good if you don't mess with the ratio. It was a dark couple of weeks when I couldn't find the product in the stores. It's great buying it online anyway, and cheaper.

Tastes great, dissolves well - no chalky unpleasantness - high protein, low sugar. Wish they made single size travel packets.

They changed the packaging in this new formula which broke me out is severe hives and a trip to the ER. Also their new packaging is different form the picture advertised.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. It tastes like a hint of vanilla with plant based undertones, you know, since it is plant based, just ever so slightly of peas. I don’t taste the cherry like others commented on. I was totally surprised at how good it tastes after reading the bad reviews! I love this. It doesn’t taste like chemically like the other proteins I’ve used over the years. I had to switch because the dairy was causing body inflammation and cystic acne. I’m sooo glad I found this one. It is powdery/slightly gritty but just deal with it, nothing is perfect and it goes down really well. I mix it with my Starbucks cinnamon and brown sugar k cups. So happy with this product.

Updated December 2012: I like the Vanilla version of this product. I stopped using it to save money and for the convenience of going to nearby stores if I exhausted my supply. Over the last two years, I have used Trader Joe's hemp protein powder as well as Whole Foods' hemp protein powder. I have decided to switch back to Biochem's Vegan Protein Powder. I find the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods hemp powders do not blend well resulting drinkable yet mediocre taste. I prefer the Biochem Vanilla taste profile and the thicker consistency post blending. In general, I make the same smoothie. For one serving, I add one serving of the powder, 1 cup of fresh or frozen fruit (generally blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or mangoes), 1 ounce of pure not from concentrate cranberry juice, 1 teaspoon of oil (flax or hemp) or 2 tablespoons of ground chia, and sometimes an alcohol free liquid Stevia sweetener since I can't find crushed Stevia leaves. The main ingredients: "highly digestable pea protein, organic hemp seed protein, antioxidant rich cranberry protein." No animal derived material and no added sodium, which is naturally occurring in pea protein. "Pea protein contains the ideal amino acid profile for human consumption, while the Hemp protein provides dietary fiber for digestive support. Hemp is unique in that it offers not only fiber and protein but also the important essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6." [BioChem] 1 serving (2 scoops) = 130 calories including 15 calories from fat; 20 grams of protein; 10 grams of carbs, 6 of which designated as sugar; and 1.5 grams of fat. Other ingredients: organic evaporated cane juice sugar, natural french vanilla flavor, xanthan gum, natural flavor, maltodextrin, and silica. Here's my previous review from 2009: I have NOT tried the chocolate flavor but I have used the VANILLA flavor and I REALLY like it. I combine it with fresh fruit, pure not from concentrate cranberry juice, flaxseed oil, and sometimes stevia sweetener or agave nectar depending on the fruit base. It is excellent! I am very happy that I found this product and hope the VANILLA flavor becomes available soon [on Amazon].
