I've been using this stuff for years and can't say enough good things. Taste is on point. My favorite is mixing one scoop of vanilla with one of chocolate. It's not a super heavy shake like other vegan proteins I've had. More creamy and less concrete. I also love that I know exactly what's in it.I did have a batch that did not mix well and had these hard chunks that would not dissolve. I contacted Legion and they immediately got me a second container for free. So customer service is also just top notch as well. Great company, great service, and great products!I prefer plant based protein powder - I think it always tastes better than whey which has a weird aftertaste to me. I like this company a lot and how clean their formulas are. This one tastes great. I’ve used it in smoothies and for cooking/baking. Also like the other vitamins, minerals, etc that are in it. Have bought several and will continue to.My concern is, why have such a large container and it's only 25% full?Why not use a smaller container more fitting of the actual quantity of the actual product?What I find is, persons tend to feel a bit shorted when you buy a product in such a large container and it's only 25% full.Tried the plant+ for the very first time and I can say it has a awesome flavor and texture. It’s loaded with all the minerals and vitamins a person could need on a vegan diet. I am not a vegan but wanted to use it for the additional vitamins and minerals to enhance my diet. Loved it and plan to use it as a additional source of protein. The flavor I chose was the Milk Chocolate and it was true to taste, very slightly granular but I did not mind that. Another tool for my journey.This is by far the best plant protein powder I have tried. Keep in mind that whey protein and plant protein will never taste the same - you can't expect it to. However, most plant proteins I have tried are so chalky I could barely drink it down without gagging. The taste just wasn't good at all and I ended up switching back to whey.I became a vegan and went on the search again for a plant based protein powder I could stomach. I found Thrive, read the reviews, and thought what the heck let's try it. I'm on my second order of it now and my husband and I both LOVE it. It is not chalky, the flavor is great, and I love the nutritional value of it. I am able to get more than enough of the vitamin B12 that is so scarce on a vegan diet. It does not taste like whey protein, I can't emphasize that enough, but if you can taste it and not compare it then I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good it is!It's a quality product and definitely a good bargain in my honest opinion. I'm really happy to have found a great tasting protein source that fits into my vegan diet.I have tried so many different plant based proteins and am so please to finally find one that I like. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This dissolves well and has a smooth texture. Flavor of the Vanilla is balanced, not too strong. Sweetness level is extremely low. This to me is a bonus, I can always add sweetener if I want it. This is definitely going to be my Vanilla go to powder. So excited that I finally found a good one!Only question is why the jumbo sized container? For this volume of powder you could have used a container half this size?Big fan of the whey, decided to give this one a shot. Chocolate is much better tasting than vanilla. You need more water than you would for the whey IMO. Easy on the stomach, I drink it before bed with no issues.My biggest critique is please PLEASE Legion make a smaller tub for this. It’s obnoxious to have to put my entire forearm into this tub right from the get go. It could easily be half the size.Love this stuff - well researched, delicious, and filling. I've tried other plant based protein powders and this one is for sure the best. After I drink it, I have a ton of energy (almost better than a cup of coffee). Only complaint I have is about the large plastic bottle this comes in. Please consider selling this powder in more sustainable packaging...maybe something like a "refill" pack? May cut down on costs too.Felt like I was drinking mud or sand. It's still probably one of the best vegan protein powders available, as I know the guy behind Legion is legit. With that said my first scoop of this will also be my last scoop... I'm sticking with Whey.
