Be sure to add flavour from other sources to your smoothie - I mix this with fruit or fruit juice - because it's naturally unflavoured and unsweetened.

I have used Pea protein for a number of years but this is the first time using this brand. It has a very peculiar smell which could indicate that it might be off. I have been trying to use it and kept it in the fridge as well as putting it in a different container as I thought the smell came from the plastic. It is rather unpleasant and I will probably just need to toss it out. Never before have I had a peculiar smell in any other brand of pea protein. In fact, pea protein normally has a very neutral smell Needless to say, I will definitely not buy this particular brand of pea protein again!!

Bought this a while ago and, at best, I'd say it's okay. Really strong taste that isn't necessarily pleasant. Tastes like bitter peas on its own. Lately, I've been using it for making pancakes/flapjacks and it's easier to mask the smell and taste.

Have used a few pea proteins of late and used to them being sweetened. This one most certainly is not - has quite a distinct taste which you most definitely need to mask if using it as a supplement.
