Unless you are vegan, stay away from pea-based protein powders.
"Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) measures protein quality based on human essential amino acid requirements and our ability to digest it. The test protein is compared to a standard amino acid profile and is given a score from 0–1, with a score of 1.0 indicating maximum amino acid digestibility. Common protein supplements (whey, casein, and soy) all receive 1.0 scores. Meat and soybeans (0.9), vegetables and other legumes (0.7), and whole wheat and peanuts (0.25–0.55) all provide diminished protein digestibility. PDCAAS is currently considered the most reliable score of protein quality for human nutrition."

I have had some nasty tasting supplements in the past that I could stomach without an issue. I tried this protein powder (Orgain Organic Protein and Superfoods Plant Based Protein Powder) and it was without a doubt, the worst protein powder I have ever had. Terrible taste, it kept repeating on me and it gave me the diarrhea. I shutter every time I see it in Costco and I feel like it's my duty to tell people when I see it in their cart (I don't say anything, but I should). Proceed with caution.

Would rather have this, no natural flavors, grass fed, and all concentrate (more bioactive immunoglobulins than isolate)

$10/lb is still pricey for whey, not even isolate.

I bought some of this and mixed my first shake with ultra filtered milk, 2 scoops with about 12oz of milk. Mixed well and didn't stay super foamy like some other powders I've used in the past, but the taste is just ok. I didn't expect it to taste incredible since it's very basic ingredients and no artificial sweeteners, but I'll likely need to figure out some additional addictives to really enjoy this. Maybe a banana or some Greek yogurt with this in a blender.

Becareful google protein powder with heavy metals first. Plant-based and organic even had more. Stay healthy and be happy. Make ur own protein the best.

I bought this last time it was on sale and regret it. Tastes overly artificial sweet which makes it hard to enjoy no matter what you mix it with. Should have just gotten the kirkland brand which I hear tastes amazing.

I don't even bother with anything else at this point... the kirkland one is the best tasting/priced one on the market

When going so natural, I wish companies didn't add sweeteners like stevia, and left that part to us to sweeten and how.

A lot of people (myself included) can't handle sucralose without digestive issues and the Kirkland protein has sucralose. Generally speaking all the "best" tasting protein powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners and that's why people like the taste. If you can handle it and don't put any merit into the emerging data that artificial sweeteners are not as safe as we've been lead to believe then go for it. But for the people that are supplementing with protein and can't/don't want to ingest artificial sweeteners, then options are limited and usually less palatable.
