NorCal Organic - Premium Pea Protein Isolate - 100% Vegan and Organic - UNFLAVORED - 2 Pounds (Pack of 1) - 35 ServingsUSDA Organic

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews about how 'chalky' and 'sour' tasting NorCal is. I've tried over half a dozen different pea protein powders around the world (digital nomad), and have definitely had the sour, gross, gritty, and overwhelming taste of pea, protein powders and NorCal isn't any of these. In fact, this is my FAVORITE US-based protein powder to date because it:*the lowest sodium of any brand I've tried thus far*is sourced in Canada so fewer heavy metals, and it's organic*is packaged in somewhat eco-friendly packaging (better than a big thick plastic tub)*mixes beautifully into my soymilk or water for my cereal/oatmeal/shake/protein shot*completely neutral flavor which again makes it perfect for the aforementioned consumption methodsIf I had to complain about something, it would be the price; if they had a more affordable non-organic option that retained all the other same qualities, I'd opt for that. But in this case: I'm of the opinion that you get what you pay for!

I've been buying this brand's pea protein for going on two years now. It's great!I was looking for an organic, non-dairy, non-soy protein that wasn't flavored with a "sweet" associated flavor like vanilla or chocolate because I wanted to be able to use it in vegetable mixes (salads, stir-fry, mixed veggies etc) and other non-sweet foods like salsa and bean dips. This is unflavored and perfect for this. I also mix just a little into my morning tea. It's not 100% great at dissolving into this, but I'm not picky on that, so it does what I need. Note: it does actually taste like peas, so if you don't want to affect the flavor to much of what you're eating, make sure you only add a little of it to the dish. Very much recommend this brand and this protein. 5/5 stars!

Excellent nutritional profile and a pretty mild flavor, making it easy to add to things like pasta in sauce. It blends well and doesn’t clump. This has been essential in my transition to a vegan diet.

What's not to like? It is a high-quality, organic pea protein isolate that works well in smoothies and also baking. When I researched it previously, it was from a very reputable company. I find it to be the best so far!

It's a great plant-based option, blending smoothly into smoothies and recipes without any weird chalky taste. I love that it’s organic and packed with protein—perfect for post-workout recovery or just boosting my daily intake. The only downside is that it can clump up a bit if you don't mix it well, but overall, it’s a fantastic, clean choice for anyone looking to up their protein game.

Love this product and will buy again!!

Last four bags I got were great.I loved the stuff and recommended it to others.The most recent one I got on Nov. 6, 2023, besides the name change from Source Organics to NorCal Organics, the moment I opened it there was a hint of odd chemical plasticy vinyl smell.I thought it was the plastic scoop or maybe the bag (assuming it was me, that I just didn't catch the smell before).After all this time of getting this stuff and enjoying use of it, all of a sudden not only does it smell a tinge odd, but it totally made me feel sick the days when I ate it. Not just once... it took me a bit to catch on unfortunately.I have regular eating habits and thought I had a lasting stomach bug - work got in the way of my usual one morning, one afternoon scoop of this in my smoothies.I got better when I hadn't had it...but didn't realize why. Then I got back into my routine and got the "stomach bug" right after drinking it again. Another day of spending hours in the bathroom with pain, nausea, gas, diarrhea...IDK what to do - I wish I knew what actually changed, why the contents of -this- bag would make me sick but not any of the others.It makes me wonder about quality control, or did I get sent a counterfit and I now know what melamine or some other protein replacement smells like and how it affects me? Or was it replaced with something else? I know milk products wipe my guts out like this, as I have been vegan so long it has "weaned" me off dairy.Whatever is going on...BLECH.:( I really loved this product, too.

Best Pea protein ever!Perfect for smoothies or porridge bowl.Even my kids like it.
