Anthony’s Premium Pea Protein, 2 lb, Plant Based, Gluten Free, Unflavored, Vegan, Keto Friendly, Made from Peas

A truly great-tasting pea protein powder at an unbelievably low price!
Much like my adventures in trying pre-made pea protein drinks, finding a similarly, well-made and fine tasting product led me to try Anthony’s Pea Protein. I was already familiar with Anthony’s products having purchased their Acacia Senegal powder which I mix with water and juice to calm my IBS (Irritable bowel Syndrome). If you ‘re having issues with either constipation or diarrhea (or both), Acacia Senegal powder is what you need to be taking. People with IBS cannot tolerate soy or milk products and that is the reason why pea protein is an ideal substitute for whey and milk-based protein powders.I had been buying a different brand of pea protein powder up until few months ago when the seller no longer stocked it, which is why I went looking for a suitable replacement. My three requirements were (1) good tasting with none of the gritty and harsh consistency of other powders, (2) thoroughly and easily mixable with almond or cashew milk, and (3) sizable quantity at a sizable savings. Anthony’s Pea Protein met all three with flying colors.I make my shakes in a 14-speed Hamilton Beach blender that I bought at Wal-Mart for under $20. Besides being inexpensive, what I like about this blender is its self-cleaning function: you fill it with water and press the button marked “Self Clean,” rinse and repeat two more times and you’re done. I fill the blender with either organic spinach or kale and add about a cup of unsweetened almond milk. I run the blender on PULSE for a few times until the greens start to get chopped up then push the SMOOTHIE button to liquefy it. I remove the center cap and pour in two cups of Wyman’s frozen Wild Blueberries ( which have 2x the antioxidants of regular blueberries and a 3lb bag costs me $13) . After letting that liquefy, I then drop in a ripe organic banana. Sometimes I add other fruit like strawberries or a honey mango but usually it’s just the blueberries and banana. Lastly, I take a measuring cup that was left over from my last container of whey protein, fill it to the brim with Anthony’s pea protein and carefully but quickly pour it into the blender.If I had to name the only downside to using this protein is that the powder is extremely fine – like the consistency of baby powder. If you’re not careful, you’ll be wearing some of it. What I’ve done when the contents get low is to cut off the excess top of the bag so that I don’t have to navigate the scoop up and out of a tall bag. Since that also cuts off the resealable strip, I use a chip clip (or any spring-loaded plastic or metal clip will also work) to keep the bag tightly closed. I let the blender run on MIX which is like the 2nd lowest setting for about 30 more seconds before stopping the blender and pouring it into one of the containers left over from my Ninja Bullet blender that died a year ago.I forgot to mention that the powder does not have any flavor of its own, so keep that in mind when you make your smoothies. You might wish to add some sweetener to it which I do if I’m using kale as my greens. That’s another thing worth noting. I buy Erythritol which is the only sugar alcohol (stuff that end in “ol” like Sorbitol, Mannitol, Xylitol, etc.) that is not metabolized in the colon. In fact, very little winds up in there having first been processed by the liver and kidneys. This is also why it’s a safe artificial sweetener to use…in moderation. Here’s the product that I buy on Amazon. A 3lb bag costs only $14.99:Erythritol Sweetener Natural Sugar Substitute 3lb – Granulated Low Calorie Sweetener High Digestive Tolerance Suitable for Diabetes Keto and Paleo – Baking Substitute Non GMOhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079X4G97G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great price, simple protein with no added stuff and plant based, perfect for me
I was looking for a pure plant based protein with no fillers, aminos, preworkout crap and other things that add up in both price and effects of the final product. I’m not vegan but after trying so many whey-based protein powders that made me feel bloated, with stomach pain in some cases and producing intestinal gas I switched to plant based proteins and those problems disappeared. However the cost per serving of plant-based proteins is much higher than whey so I’m always looking for good quality alternatives that don’t cost a lot. Protein shakes have the convenience of making them fast by just adding the liquid of your choice, mix it and off you go but that comes with the added costs.So when I found out this pure protein without any fillers or flavors and with more than 90 servings per bag and at a low price I immediately decided to try it. Keep in mind that the serving suggestion is one tablespoon and the protein content of one serving is just 8g (compared to more than 20g of protein per serving of many other protein shakes available) however since I like to make my own protein shakes with different ingredients I just need two tablespoons of this protein plus add other thngs to easily make a shake with more than 20g of protein. Even by using two tablespoons I get more than 45 servings of this bag which is awesome.Many people complain about the consistency when mixing and the flavor but honestly compared to many protein powders I have tried this one mixes really good and easy. I use a magic bullet and I add the protein after adding the rest of the ingredients. The flavor, well this a pea protein and since it says unflavored then, obviously, it has to taste like peas. If it was flavored then it would taste like maybe vainilla or chocolate or whatever flavor they would have added.Here’s the recipe for the protein shake of the picture:2 tablespoons of protein powder1 small banana3 tablespoons of whole grain oats1 oz of assorted dry nuts (peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, etc) or 2 teaspoons of peanut butterSome berries of your preferenceMilk of your preferenceMix all ingredients together, be sure to add the protein powder last to avoid it sticking to the bottomThat shake provides more than 25g of protein, tastes good and can substitute or compliment a meal. Hope you enjoy it.

Great for smoothies and adding to meal replacement shakes
Excellent vegan protein powder. I add 30g to my the blender when making smoothies that gives it a fuller texture and turns it into a real meal, very satisfying. It also mixes well with soylent powder and water in my blender bottle. The flavor is very light and unobtrusive in my smoothies and soylent. The cost is excellent, will definitely make this a regular purchase for my pantry.
