Naked Pea Protein in the vanilla flavor is an all-natural and high-quality protein isolate powder supplement made from only 3 ingredients:
- Yellow peas
- Organic coconut sugar
- Vanilla
It is:
- Dairy free
- Gluten free
- GMO free
- Soy free
- Certified vegan
This pea protein powder is ideal for vegans or any user who wants to increase their daily diet with more vegetables or to try something a little different rather than the traditional whey protein powders.
2 scoops per serving provides:
- 25 grams of protein
- 5.6 grams of BCAAs
This product comes in a clear container which I like and it’s a pretty innovative idea because if you are buying it at a store, you actually get to see what he protein powder looks like: color, texture, thickness, etc...
When I opened this container, the protein powder smelled really nice so I had a feeling that I would like this product.
This protein powder with water mixes incredibly well by hand, it dissolves very well in water. There are absolutely no lumps and the protein drink is thick, has a creamy texture and is very smooth, sort of like a milkshake but without any milk. This protein powder is also the best mixing protein powder in water that I have ever used. Some protein powder supplement brands have a few lumps while others can be very lumpy or stick to the glass, so you have to give it a good hand stir. Of course if you use a blender or hand mixer, there will be no lumps but it is quicker and easier for me to hand stir with less cleaning or washing.
Whenever I consume a protein shake, I always like to add a teaspoon of Creatine first to the glass. I always take Creatine along with my protein powder supplement because it may aid in Creatine absorption. I then add the 1 or 2 scoops of protein powder, followed by water. By adding the Creatine first, this keeps the protein powder from sticking to the bottom of the glass or getting lumpy at the bottom of the glass, but with Pea Protein, you don’t have to worry about this. It doesn’t happen.
Best time I like to use it:
- After my workout
- On my days off from weight training or working out (off days or rest days) - mid morning around 10 to 10:30 am
Taste-wise, I didn’t know what kind of taste to assume from peas. It tasted very good. It didn’t have a sweet taste nor a savory taste. Sort of in between but I could taste a hint of coconut and vanilla along with a mild pea taste. Basically, the taste between the 3 ingredients is well-balanced!
In my video below, you can view all that I have mentioned above in more visual detail.
Naked Nutrition also has a lot of information about this product on their website, so take the time to scroll down on the Naked Pea webpage and read all the information that they have about this product so that you can make your own informed decision.
Conclusion
I will give this product a 10 out of 10 rating. It ranks up there as one of the best protein powders that I have ever used for all the above mentioned reasons in this product review.
I would also like to thank Naked Nutrition for taking the time to ship this 5 pound container of Naked Pea Protein so that I can offer my own opinion about this product and be able to try and taste it multiple times.
