The Rolls Royce of vegan proteins
Most vegan proteins taste like a cross between hot buttered ass and deep-fried garbage. Why? Two main reasons: nasty sweeteners, or too many weird additives as though the manufacturer wants it to be too many things to too many people. (Why does a vegan protein powder need a stupid "whole plant blend" with broccoli powder or whatnot in it?). And on top of all that, a lot of them have inferior amino acid profiles. What does this mean? It means that the proteins do not compare to animal-based proteins for how much they succeed at the ONE thing protein is meant to do: support muscle tissue.<br /><br />Nectis has dealt with these issues admirably. Instead of releasing a product to the public that the manufacturers would never consume themselves (cuz it tastes bad), Nectis actually tastes amazing. And, instead of selling JUST pea protein with no other protein in it to improve the amino acid profile, Nectis includes rice hull protein, which gives it an amino profile much closer to whey or soy.<br /><br />So, as long as they don't remove that rice hull protein from it, and as long as they don't start using crappy sweeteners that make it taste like boiled King Cone wrappers, and as they don't add a bunch of useless ingredients to it that do nothing but add bulk and reduce its effectiveness AS A PROTEIN POWDER, I will buy it. The end.
