Customer Reviews of Olympian Labs Pea Protein,Vanilla Flavor 805 Grams (Packaging May Vary)
Customer Review: A great alternative to dairy-based protein powders
Summary: 4 Stars
Whey protein isolate is still king in terms of the complete BCAA profile and fast absorption rate, but for those looking to start experimenting with the amount of dairy products in your diet, I would recommend this as a great starting point. I'm not sure if pea protein is considered to be a complete protein or not, but so far it's the closest veggie-based protein I've had to the all-natural ON whey protein isolate I love so much.
The taste (i had vanilla) is just fine and very comparable to vanilla whey, it mixes fairly well (way better than hemp protein, but still not as easily as whey even without all the instantizing additives), and you get about the same amount of protein per serving as whey (hemp is lower... and also just a horrible taste/texture in my opinion).
The only downside to this pea protein is that it still never seems to mix in as smoothly as good ole whey. I've used it in a blender, with a hand-held battery-powered drink mixer, a milk frother, and just with a spoon, and no matter how thoroughly you mix it, there's still a very fine grain/sandy texture to it. Much less so then hemp, but not as smooth as whey. It's not really a big deal, and I'm already getting used to it.
Give it a shot!
Description of Olympian Labs Pea Protein,Vanilla Flavor 805 Grams (Packaging May Vary)
Pea Protein Origin & History: Pea Protein is a natural, vegetable-based protein powder derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). Yellow peas are more commonly known as ?split peas? and are used extensively in food preparation such as in soups & purees. Most commercially available protein powders are derived from soy, rice, eggs, or dairy, which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. We?ve chosen Pea Protein because it is a plant-based, hypoallergenic protein that yields a high biological value (65.4%). The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a better choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor stimulation. They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score. Through a clever extraction and purification process, our Pea Protein is concentrated from the normal level of 6% in fresh peas to 90% protein content. This unique process produces a protein powder that is highly soluble and easy to digest. Pea Protein is ideal for vegans, offers an excellent nutritional profile, is free of gluten, lactose, cholesterol and other anti-nutritional factors.* Benefits of Pea Protein Non-GMO Hypoallergenic 100% Gluten Free Perfect for Vegans 100% Cholesterol Free 100% Plant-Based Protein Highly Soluble & Easy to Digest Source of Beneficial Amino Acids Environmentally Friendly Source of Protein Highly Suitable for Sustainable Agriculture *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
