Vive Vegan Protein Powder Blend, Chocolate Flavour | Sweetener-Free Rice & Pea Protein (250g)

I run a vegan weight loss group and we love using this product in our protein shakes. It's so delicious and easy to blend. We also like using it for smoothie bowls or adding it to our porridge or overnight oats to prevent hunger.Some members use a few drops of stevia or erythritol to sweeten the powder.Thanks for creating this yummy clean protein powder for us :)

I loathe most protein powders because the majority of them are loaded with so much sweetener that that's all you taste. On the other hand most unflavoured ones I've tried taste like dirt. The only two I use now are this one, and the Pulsin unflavoured soya powder. The peanut flavour in this is quite subtle but if you mix it with bananas or berries it seems to come through a little more. My favourite way to have this is blending about 250-300ml of water with a half cup of frozen banana and strawberries, two tablespoons of cocao powder and a quarter cup of rolled oats; this is a perfect post-workout breakfast! I'm already on my second bag of this protein powder and will continue to buy it.

Hands down the best tasting complete plant protein blend that I’ve tried. It tastes just of peanut butter, and I love peanut butter so that’s a winner.Since switching to a plant-based diet, I have tried brown rice protein & pea protein but couldn’t stomach the taste. I tried a blend of the two and that was better.Then after a lot of searching, trying and reading up on different brands and blends, I came across this one. It only had a couple of reviews at the time, a lot less than all of the others, but they were all good reviews. I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did.This is now my go to plant protein, I can’t see myself going back to the others. Definitely recommend.

This was really disappointing. After reading all the good reviews I was expecting a healthy, tasty shake, but whatever you add to it to make it taste nice you can’t get around the fact that it just doesn’t mix properly. This makes a grainy shake that sticks in your throat. High fat milks do mix slightly better, but that negates the health benefits. I can’t help thinking it would be better and easier to use a couple of spoons of smooth peanut butter whizzed up with some fruit and vegan milk.

I absolutely love this product. This is the best vegan protein powder I have tasted so far and I have tasted a few. It has no after taste and is barely noticeable in porridge or smoothies. I love the fact that is unsweetened.

No sugar or artificial sweeteners, mixes up well. I blend with 1/2 a banana and either alongside my morning cereal or after a workout.Your palate will need some time to adjust if you’re used to sweetened/flavoured shakes, as this has a more subtle and neutral peanutty flavour when drunk on its own (almost savoury!), but overall I’m really happy with it.

I was recommended this product from a vegan nutritionist based on the quality of the overall ingredients. I am really impressed so far, and although I do not use protein powder as part of a body building journey (like many do), I actually use it in small smoothies to help with hunger throughout the day and to ensure I am getting my daily protein requirements in. I have found it's really helped with hunger cravings, and I quite like the taste!

I ordered the Smooth Natural flavour. Not smooth. Definitely not natural. The texture is really grainy and the powder doesn't dissolve in liquid. True, the protein powder doesn't taste like chocolate, berries, vanilla or something else typical for protein powders, in that sense I guess it's natural. But the taste definitely is not neutral. I would describe the taste as 'earthy' or 'stuffy' or just bad. I usually put protein powder in my porridge or shakes. This protein powder ruins the texture and taste of the foods so completely that I can't use it in them. However, the macros of this protein powder are quite good and it's relatively cheap, hence two stars. I've given up trying to make this powder taste good, so now I just mix it with a couple of desilitres of water and chug it down. It serves it's purpose as an additional protein source but nothing else. The only way I could recommend this brand is if you're not particularly interested in the taste but just want a cheap vegan protein powder with good macros.
