PBN - Premium Body Nutrition Vegan Protein Chocolate Hazelnut 2.27kg Jar

Good quality shake powder vegan used alot.

Smells wonderful, tastes awful.Ordered this as my first foray into protein powder brought me to a vanilla whey isolate that tasted wonderful but bloated me and broke my skin out. Ordered this a change to polarised reviews and now foolishly have 2.2KG of foul tasting chalk. Mysteriously the hazelnuts described on the tub are prevelant in the scent of the powder but are replaced with bitter acrid suffocation when water or almond milk is added. Adding coffee, ice, semi-skimmed, zero cal syrup and peanut powder makes this powder almost pallatable.If you're unsure, absolutely do not be lured by value into getting the larger tub.On a side note, no digestive issues and does not seem to be affecting my skin. Also my farts have been smelling attrocious which makes me certain I'm actually digesting it unlike the whey isolate.UPDATE: changed review from 2 stars to 4here's a recipe to make it actually nice, your vegan protein iced latte:1 scoup PBN Vegan Protein2 heaped tsps PB2 powered peanut butter3 tsps decaffinated cofeee (I tend to workout in the evening, use caffine if you want the stimulant)1 tsp granulated sweetener1 large splash of vanilla essence1 shake of cinnamon~200ml of almond milka squirt of zero calorie syrup~a fistful of iceBlend it up in and the resulting drink isn't chalky nor dry and bitter. Has a smoothness to it and is likely friendly to your fitness goals. Only things I wouldn't subsitute for taste would be the ice and the almond milk. The almond milk and ice combo gets rid of the chalky texture better than any other combo I've tried and the coffee + vanilla combo helps the taste a long way. Figure out the nutritional info for the exact substitutions to make. Knowing I can make this stuff palatable and it causes me no digestive issues I'll be getting it again in the future.

As with a lot of protein products, the opinions on this one are varied and, in many cases, polarising. It's easy to buy a product like this and suffer from a little bit of dread right up unt it arrives, especially when other customers are using such strong language to describe it.The problem, it seems, is that everybody expects everything - a cheap, easy mixing protein powder that tastes wonderful. In the world of protein, especially vegan protein, you're usually struggling in all 3 departments. I think we can agree that the price of this product is excellent.The taste is okay. It's neither here nor there. It's more hazelnut than chocolate, and I find it easy to drink in oat milk. I don't gag at how horrible it is, I would say it's slightly enjoyable without being a treat. In terms of mixing, I find that some vigorous shaking leaves me with no lumps, and no leftovers afterwards.Ultimately, this is probably the best value you're going to get, and is perfectly okay in every other area as well. Don't expect a milkshake, and you'll be fine.

In my 15+ years experience as a vegetarian (and past 6 years) vegan athlete, and food scientist - I've tried plenty of veggie and vegan proteins - the latter including Sun Warrior and comparable offerings from Bulk Powders and other brand leaders, and I can honestly confirm in both mine and my clients' opinion - this PBN Vegan protein is:- Taste-wise pretty much as good as the brand leaders (even the sweetness is balanced)- "Healthier" as it doesn't use artificial sweeteners like many other vegan blends; instead using stevia - but it doesn't taste "harsh" like some stevia based protein blends - another plus- Better digesting - none of my clients or myself have reported bloating (some non-veggie clients of mine have switched to this for this one reason alone - and unusually includes digestive enzymes in the blend - a rarity in vegan blends out there- Has additional micronutrients (vitamins/minerals)- Blends very, very easily - hardly any caking or clumping - literally able to prepare with water in a flask and a steel ball shaker - or even just a fork (we've tried both)This is my 3rd purchase and myself and my clients will continue to purchaseMy only complaint is the lack of flavour variety, although the choc hazelnut has become somewhat of a staple for our gym.Worth a try for sure.Hope the honest review helped - and no - I'm not getting anything from anyone for this! ;)

Flavour is poor used lots of the the other shakes. This tastes mostly of pea! Won't be buying this particular flavour/ mix from PBN. Will stick to whey protein not vegan.

As you can see from other reviews value is good but flavour is below average once I’ve finished I’ll not get it again I’d rather pay more that taste a lot better I think it’s going to be a struggle

This used to be a good deal - nutritious, tasty vegan protein powder for a low price. But it's twice the price it was a year ago. What happened? Well, not ordering anymore since there are other powders just as good for less than this costs now. What a shame.

At the time of purchase it was the cheapest option available. Despite being affordable, the flavour was disappointing and the powder itself was problematic, far too sticky to be mixed properly. Very easy to digest, had no bloating, a problem that I have experienced with other protein powders.
