1. Review Angel Verified Buyer – 1 November 2024

   This plant-based protein powder has 25g of protein and 3.8g of BCAAs per 33g scoop, made from Patagonian lupine. It comes in a 2.2 lb pot with Andes cocoa flavor. The product is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and sugar-free, with 30 servings per container. This protein powder has high protein content with added BCAAs and is free from gluten, soy, and sugar, good for various dietary preferences. Cons: I chose this protein powder based on its labeling, which suggests being free of various unhealthy additives. However, I found it contains ingredients like Sucralose (an artificial sweetener) and Artificial Cocoa flavoring. The inclusion of artificial sweeteners and flavorings is concerning due to potential long-term health effects. Health should always take precedence over taste, and these ingredients may not meet that standard. The package was intact, however, the top seal was slightly broken.

   The protein powder arrived on time. The plastic bottle has a security seal under the cap, however, mine was damaged with powder noticeable above the seal. The bottle also had product on the outside of it; not from the container, I don’t think, but probably from adjacent bottles being filled on the line. Hopefully, not an indication of poor sanitary conditions in the filling operation. The product mixes well with water, and after shaking for less than 30 seconds, was fully dissolved. The cookies and cream flavor was ok, more creme than cookies and results in a thick, milkshake like consistency which is pleasant to drink. Instead of using a large shaker bottle, i dispensed the product into a gatorade bottle, filling partially to the recommended 10 to 12 oz. recommendation. The product was filling and although not quite the cookies and creme flavor I have tasted from other protein shakes, was ok. I recommend the product as advertised.

   I’ve tried a ton of protein mixes so I know what’s out there and usually what to expect. I was really excited about this cavendish banana protein mix with lupine protein but was immediately disappointed. It mixed fine and had a sort of gritty texture but not horrible. The scent was clearly banana-y and pretty good. The flavor, on the other hand was definitely off. First of all, they use artificial banana flavor and it’s really obvious. It has that Runts candy banana flavor if you know what I’m talking about, so in other words, it doesn’t really taste like banana but more like a plastic yellow item. And there’s also a distinct after-taste. It’s probably from the stevia, which has that same off taste, but it’s odd because they list sucralose and stevia as sweeteners. Sucralose is an inferior artificial sweetener that tastes great and stevia is a great natural sweetener with that aftertaste. This seems to have the worst of both worlds with the potentially unhealthy sucralose along with the after taste of stevia. I don’t think the lupine has a bad flavor- I really think it’s the fake banana and stevia combo that does this in. There isn’t much in the way of essential vitamins and minerals or good fats, just protein, which it has a good amount of. I really wanted to like this but wasn’t impressed.

   This protein powder was a bit of a disappointment. As soon as it arrived I learned that it has artificial flavoring in it…how can something be so strongly advertised as a healthy powder when it has anything artificial in it? It also came with the seal broken so I really didn’t want to consume it, but chose to try just a tiny amount for the sake of giving a full review. It did not blend nicely and was chunky, which gave it an almost chalky texture and the flavor was nothing close to any cookies and cream that I have ever tasted. I ended up dumping all but the two sips I took (the second being after I shook it up more hoping to rid it of the clumps with no luck). I can not recommend this powder as it is, sadly.

   Overall, I cannot recommend this plant-based protein powder. I am usually a huge fan of banana protein shakes. Unfortunately, this protein misses the bar in a few key areas. First is quality control. When I first opened the protein powder, the seal was detached from the lid in an area about 2cm wide. Unlike others, I didn’t have any spilling of protein powder – but the lack of a proper seal is far from ideal. After mixing it up according to the directions and taking a drink, I initially liked the flavor. However, after a few seconds, a very unpleasant aftertaste came. I tried several more times but was eventually unable to continue.

   I got the cookies and cream version and it smells like burnt popcorn and tastes even worse. The product did not mix well and I was getting sick like from the smell and gross taste that I dumped it all.
   I have tried other protein powders where they mix and are generally fine but have a chalky/paste like taste to them so I thought I would try a different company and flavor from chocolate. That was a mistake.

   I’ve tried a lot of the plant-based protein powders and they usually either taste bad or they lack the nutritional value I look for (high protein per calorie). This is the first plant based protein powder I’ve tried that does not taste chalky and digests really well. I blend it with water, ice, and some organic peanut butter and wow, it tastes delicious. I highly recommend it. I’ve purchased it 3 times already and will continue to use it.

   The internal safety seal was broken/punctured on the product, so I could not consume the protein powder. I did mix a scoop of the product in some almond milk and it did mix well (no clumps).

    This is seemingly a rather new company and product that has to make some changes before I would recommend it. The first of the issues is the packaging. The seal on top of the tub arrived completely broken off of the top, and the powder was left open with only the lid keeping it inside. This made me not want to try it at all, as there is risk involved with open consumables when being shipped. I decided to give it a go anyway, despite the smell being pretty questionable. I know this is a commonality in vegan protein powder, and I’m not necessarily knocking it for that, just thought I’d mention it. As far as flavor and solubility, it is better than a lot of vegan protein powders, but the flavor is still pretty underwhelming. The PDCAAS being 76% is pretty nice for a vegan protein powder, and something that I often don’t see people consider. I’m not entirely sure if that’s enough to convince me to switch to lupine, though, as soy is still better I’d probably stick with that. I know a lot of people are scared of soy because of phytoestrogens, which is pointless as they don’t actually change your hormones significantly, but hey to each their own. If you’ve got an aversion to soy and pea protein and want to pay significantly more for an alternative that’s realistically about the same, this is a good option for you.
