Applied Nutrition Plant Protein Powder – Critical Plant Vegan Protein Shake with SOYA, Pea, Brown Rice Proteins & Essential Amino Acids - Dairy-Free Gym Supplement (450g - 15 Servings) (Chocolate)

I have been using this protein for a while now. I don't follow a plant based diet but I eat as clean as possible and find the ingredients in this to my liking. Low in fat, carbs and high in protein. The sweetners used don't add calories. The texture and taste are good and I make mine in a ninja blender usually with a banana added for additional nutrition and combined with the chocolate flavour it makes for a tasty drink. I also sometimes add creatine if it fits in with my workout schedule or I want an extra serving that day. I usually have one or two shakes daily but it depends on what I have done that day. I don't tend to use this as a replacement meal but purely for a protein boost after a workout. I find this digests well and I don't suffer from bloating or gas. Chocolate is my favourite flavour out of the three available.

I’ve cut out dairy to reduce my hayfever symptoms (it is helping!) and this is the second vegan powder I’ve tried. It’s really great. It tastes better than a whey powder with none of the full, bloated feeling. I mix it with collagen and creatine and it carries well. It doesn’t have that vile smell if you don’t wash the bottle immediately either. Will repurchase a bigger bag. This has all the right amino acids in for a vegan powder.

This non-lactose protein shake is made from soy. To be honest, if I had nothing else to eat, it’s okay — I could drink it. I’ve only tried it once, and it didn’t really appeal to me. It tastes a bit like raw potatoes or grains, kind of strange. I once thought about adding fruit to it, which would probably make it tastier. For situations where there’s no other food or time, it’s fine. Maybe I’ll get used to it, but for now it’s just sitting in the cupboard. Some people like it, some don’t — for me, it didn’t really hit the spot.

Great taste !

Good stuff

I bought this exclusively on the grounds it was the best economy for weight and had marginally better calorie/protein macros than my regular vanilla whey powder. I've been drinking it for a couple of days now. Around 75-100g of protein a day mixed with water. Immediate impressions - Taste is subtler and has a nuttier angle to it. This isn't particularly sweet. Powder may be too fine, it feels quite close to dust. Does have a habit of clumping together in my blender cup. Helps to slowly fill with water and rotate cup whilst doing so. Digestion wise it will take some getting used to. To put it politely this backed me up and seemed to liquify my insides.

I usually buy whey protein powder, but thought I'd try this as it has a slight higher protein to the scoop in comparison....and it was on sale. However, I am just about stomaching this due to the texture once mixed, it's like drinking watered down mash potatoe (not that I've ever had that). UPDATE: I tried this for little less than a week, and I'm starting to be physically sick with drinking it. Have now binned this purchase and ordered the normal whey protein powder I used to have.

Value for money. Good quality. Blends easily and perfect taste...
