KOS Organic Plant Based Protein Powder

First off, this is one of, if not the best tasting 100% plant-based vegan protein powders that I’ve tried...without any bloat! It mixes evenly with water, almond or coconut milk, and is a great addition to any smoothie. My favorite and most satisfying smoothie thus far; has been throwing a banana, cup of coconut milk, a handful of berries, a heaping tablespoon of almond butter and 2 scoops of KOS chocolate protein powder. It’s simply delicious and i find it hard to not drink the whole thing without setting it down...and my toddler loves it too! Yesterday morning I made sweet potatoes pancakes with a free-range egg, half a banana, handful of blueberries, dash cinnamon, sprinkle of dried coconut, 1 scoop of KOS chocolate protein, and a medium sized sweet potato. It might be my new go-to breakfast, post workout meal replacement with protein or after dinner healthy “dessert”. I just checked out the KOS website and downloaded their “Organic Guide to Vegan Protein”...take a look as it has some great recipe ideas. I’m planning on picking up the ingredients to make the “Chocolate Almond Protein bars” and the “Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding” ASAP. Without writing a novel, i just wanted to make one more note about the quality of ingredients as it is VERY important to me as I have an Autoimmune disease that I control solely through diet. I LOVE that this protein powder is not only USDA Organic, but is also NON-GMO, gluten, soy and dairy free with pure and REAL ingredients. I often find that plant-based protein powders can cause excessive bloating, but it seems that the added digestive enzymes are doing their job in preventing this and allowing my body to absorb all the beneficial vitamins and nutrients. I will be definitely be ordering another chocolate and look forward to trying the vanilla flavor as I love both chocolate and vanilla. KOS has a “100% Satisfaction Guarantee”, which is great, but i assure you that I won’t be sending them anything back and will be ordering more on a regular basis. Hopefully they set up a “subscribe and save” option on amazon soon;)

I love this protein powder. It is not chalky, it mixes really well and is not clumpy, whether you're just using water and a shaker ball or you're blending it in a blender with milk, you can add frozen banana or coffee ice cubes for a frappe, the ingredients are stellar, it doesn't cause any indigestion or stomach upset. It has digestive enzymes and prebiotics. It is organic and I love it.

I've been thru many protein powders, especially vegan ones thar are also soy and GF. I was worried about trying this because I couldn't sample first, and I'm so glad I found this stuff. It's not chalky like the stuff I've tried before. I like the consistency of the pre-made shakes from the store, but if course those are more expensive. The trick I've found for a very smooth drink is this protein powder + unsweetened Ripple milk + a little water and blending blending BLENDING in a magic bullet for a good 30 seconds, makes it so creamy and silky. For a boost of yum, I also like to blend with a very small amount of peanut butter and a dash of cinnamon. This is the best protein powder out there, and I think it's worth investing in a bullet to really blend this. The one thing I'm bummed about is the cost difference between the chocolate flavor and the mocha or caramel flavors.

Great clean formula with fabulous taste. After trying many different protein powders, this is my favorite!!!

i am not a vegan. im not a vegetarian of any kind. i am an avid meat eater. the reason for me buying this was because regular whey protein powder mixed with whole milk, which is what i usually have, is starting to get kind of hard on my stomach. its a lot of dairy in one sitting and it gives me gas and loose stool. figured ill give a plant based protein and almond milk a shot just to try to be healthier and do something different. the micro nutrient content is really what impressed me this thing is basically a protein shake and a multivitamin mixed into one. blending power: ok so this is where the biggest gripe comes from. it does not mix well with almond milk or water. ironically the best thing to blend it with so far for me has been regular milk. i dont know if this is just a characteristic of vegan proteins but it is incredibly grainy. much more so than any whey protein ive ever had. a very chalky mix does not a very good drinking experience make. having said that its not like its intolerable or anything just not super pleasant especially since im used to a smoother drink. flavor: this is the part that actually made the chalkiness of the drink more tolerable. its very good chocolate flavor. its not overly sweet and overpowering. they did a really good job with the flavor especially considering how low the sugar content is. probably that stevia. definitely one of the better protein shakes ive had as far as flavor is concerned. however, the graininess of its definitely brings it down some. value: at 43 dollars for 30 servings of 20g this is a pretty expensive protein. the micro nutrient content is relatively impressive but its not worth the extra price. especially when it mixes so poorly. to put things into perspective the 5 pound tub of optimum nutrition whey protein, which has 74 servings of 24g of protein, costs only about 7 dollars more for more than twice the product. the 2 pound tub which comes wit 28 servings is 13 dollars less. and with those 13 dollars you can buy a multivitamin that will exceed the nutritional content of the KOS protein. so all in all its a decent protein. its healthy and contains a good amount of nutrients. but its way more expensive than its competition and mixes very poorly for what it charges. if youre not vegan or have a dairy intolerance i cant recommend this protein over your standard namebrand whey isolate.
