I usually stick with chocolate or vanilla protein powder but as someone who loves cookies and cream flavored goods, I knew I had to try this! So incredibly glad I did. It’s the best plant protein powder I’ve tried in a flavor other than vanilla or chocolate. It’s definitely not chalky nor does it taste artificial. It’s creamy and delicious especially when you use dairy free milk instead of water. It’s great post workout as it feels like I’m treating myself after going hard in my workout. It’s a good sized tub of protein powder and Im definitely repurchasing. It’s amazing and the amount of protein per serving is fantastic.

A mixed bag

I decided that I wanted some protein powder and came across Orgain. It instantly piqued my interest since it wasn't too expensive, and I've never tried a plant-based protein powder before. Some reviewers noted that they didn't have a scoop included and that their container was only about 1/2 filled. I bought the Vanilla Bean flavor. Fortunately, mine came with a scoop and was about 2/3 filled. However, I still expected something like this to be closer to full. I didn't carefully read the mixing instructions that recommended water or almond milk. I weighed out the recommended 46 g of powder and mixed it with 400 mL of 1% milk. The 400 mL is a little bit more than the recommended 12 oz, but I did this because my shaker bottle didn't have a clear marking for 12 oz.

I read a few reviewers mentioning that it was too sweet for their liking, but I didn't have any problems with the base flavor. However the texture is the main thing I didn't like. Even after some extended and vigorous shaking and verifying that all the powder had completely dissolved, it still had a little bit of an off-putting "muddy" texture. I had to take small and spaced out swigs to power through it. Overall, it's not that bad and can see myself getting this again. But I'll probably try a different flavor and try mixing with almond milk per instructions to see if that makes any difference.

Great taste but can improve packaging

To say I was excited when I learned about Orgain’s protein powder would be an understatement. An organic, chocolate, plant-based protein powder? Perfect!I have tried a fair number of different protein powders, vegan and animal-based. Before I went vegan I used a delicious chocolate whey protein which, when blended into a smoothie, truly tasted like a milkshake. Ever since switching to a fully plant-based diet I have searched for a producy that can compare to that whey powder. Orgain’s organic chocolate protein comes the closest, although it still has a slight chemical flavor.After trying the powder at a friend’s house, I immediately ordered a tub. However, even before I took off the lid, the tub felt mysteriously light.

However, even before I took off the lid, the tub felt mysteriously light. When I looked inside the container was maybe half full.This surprise brought up some complaints. Vegans are environmentalists! I want to save the planet with my diet, not use more plastic packaging and emit more carbon through transportation costs. Also, like most people, I would rather not spend any more time than I have to when ordering things like protein powder; I would be much happier paying a higher price for a fuller, longer-lasting container.I wish Orgain wouldn’t try to cut costs and would instead hold themselves accountable to their climate friendly pledge. That being said, the powder really does taste amazing.

If protein and hot chocolate had a healthy baby.

This would be it! This stuff is TO DIE FOR. And I'm incredibly picky with my plant based proteins! They are NOT all created equal! However.. Orgain nailed this one and I have to stock up for the next year to make it to next and still have some 🤣 sorry not sorry if I purchase all of them! As a nutritionist, personal trainer and momma, I take what I put in my body, recommend to others and let me kids have seriously - and this fits all the boxes it needs to!But seriously. This stuff is amazing cold OR hot and is good plain or with add ins (my usual is 1tbsp of PB and almond milk). The macros rock, the taste is fabulous and your kids will even want it! I will drink this stuff as long as they keep making it!

Meh.

This was a last minute purchase when I realized the brand I normally use was low and it was going to take awhile to ship to where I am.This is awful if you’re just looking to use with water or milk, mixes like sand in water- so very grainy. However, if you’re looking for more of a protein to use in baking or smoothies then this may work for you. I have to mix it into a smoothie to make it go down which is a bummer because I wanted a faster way to mix (I.e. in just plain water or milk) while I’m busy running around and need a protein boost. I wouldn’t say to NOT buy it but I do believe there are far better products. The price point is nice for this product, but again you can find comparable prices elsewhere.Not my fave but not the worst ever either. Good luck.

No go

I really like Orgain as a brand and enjoy the pre-made shakes they have in bottles. The ingredients in this powder are really good. However, I won’t buy it again. I use protein powder mainly for smoothies, overnight oats, and pancakes. For all three of these things, this Orgain powder didn’t work very well. It is quite chalky in consistency and even when blended well in a smoothie, it still feels too thick and powdery. The vanilla flavor is also quite off. It’s overwhelmingly artificial. So as much as I like other Orgain products, this one did not hit the mark.

Tastes Aweful

Before buying this I read all the reviews. I thought I could use this as a healthy substitute for hot coca or a fun winter flavor option to my regular protein shake regimen. The prior reviewers who reported this tastes like chalk and more mint than any chocolate were absolutely right. The mint flavor is similar to the generic brand Pepto Bismole. After tasting it according to instruction and not liking it, I tried adding chocolate Vital Proteins collagen which only helped a small bit to improve the flavor, then I added liquid peppermint mocha coffee creamer and that helped a little more with improving flavor but now I have a 200+ calorie drink that still is difficult to drink because it still tastes bad. I would not recommend this to anyone; I've tried over 10 ... MoreBefore buying this I read all the reviews.

Tasty but not great

I was excited to try this flavor and ordered 2 tubs in case it sold out. I was worried the flavor would be overpowering as sometimes is the case with pumpkin spice. I used 8 oz of almond milk to see if the flavor would be a bit stronger with less milk, but it's still very milk. I cannot truly get the hint of the pumpkin spice as I would have liked. It's not a bad tasting shake but reminds me a little more of a sugar cooking than a pumpkin spice shake. I would still order it because I like sugar cookies and it's a nice change from the chocolate or salted caramel flavors I normally order. If you are a die hard pumpkin spice flavor fan you may not be satisfied with this shake unless you find a few spices you can add to the shake that would make the pumpkin spice flavor ... MoreI was excited to try this flavor and ordered 2 tubs in case it sold out.

Weird Texture

I really wanted to love this product, but I just can't get there. I did a lot of research on protein powders before I landed on this one. I was looking for an alternative to the one I typically buy because that one was getting way too expensive for 1/3 the amount of this one. I was drawn to the ingredients and all the other benefits of this one so I was really hoping that I would love it and it wouldn't be gritty or nasty in my daily protein shakes/smoothies. Unfortunately, the texture is just too gritty and dry for my liking. It's definitely not smooth like the description states. There's no way the other reviews are accurate when they claim it's smooth. It's not so I'm going to be returning this and going back to my usual protein powder. Sorry. Just couldn't get ... MoreI really wanted to love this product, but I just can't get there.

the best

i really like this brand, and i was looking for an unflavored powder to add to more things. this one smells slightly vanilla ish in the container but doesnt have much taste at all in my smoothies as far as i can tell. im so grateful it isnt chalky or gross like some vegan powders can be, so this brand and now specifically this unsweetened one will be my go to!when buying from the site, it was cheapest to go with the auto delivery. there was a 25% discount for first purchase, and there will be a 10% discount from here on out whenever i buy from the site. i set my frequency to three months in case i want to cancel it but i dont think im going to! i really recommend this if you do want something unsweetened, very mild in flavor, and vegan/dairy free!
