Solid ingredients, pleasant flavor, annoying bag
I use protein powder on a daily basis for post-workout shakes, and this looked like a solid option so I gave it a try,  I like the ingredients list, there's no weird ingredients, no junk filler, and especially no added sugars.  I tried the vanilla cold brew flavor, and based on the name I was uncertain if there is cold brew coffee in it, or if the vanilla itself is somehow cold brewed and there is no coffee?  The ingredients don't really explain what's going on there.<br /><br />Upon opening the package, there is a distinct coffee aroma, and when I mixed it with water and ice cubes to test there is a faint coffee flavor.  I don't know that I'd call it a coffee flavored powder, it's more a background note, so don't worry about it overpowering other flavors you may add.  The flavor in general is mild and not-too-sweet, which is just what I'm after with a protein powder.  If I want more excitement I'll mix frozen berries in.  The texture is a little grainy, but that comes with the territory for anything made with hemp/rice/pea protein.  The color is a slightly weird yellowish-brown, but whatever this isn't a beauty contest, it's a convenient way to get a hit of protein on the way out the door.<br /><br />My only complaint is the zipper on the bag clogging with powder and refusing to close. I hold the bag closed with a rubber band and am careful not to knock it over on the shelf, but this type of bag is an annoying way to package powders.<br /><br />In general, this is right in my sweet spot for clean ingredients, good nutritional profile, and good but unobtrusive flavor.
