KOS Plant Based Protein Powder, Chocolate USDA Organic - Low Carb Pea Protein Blend, Vegan Superfood with Vitamins & Minerals - Keto, Soy, Dairy Free - Meal Replacement for Women & Men - 15 Servings

Has a good number of servings (15) to be able to test out and see if you like it, which I do! Chocolate flavor is very good on its own. Important to note these protein powders do have the superfood blend with beneficial ingredients in them that could possibly be detectable if blending up in say a smoothie versus just taking protein powder + water and drinking. I was aware of this prior to tasting but if someone was not and has very sensitive tastebuds it could be a surprise. The packaging is adorable with cheeky drawings of the different nuts inside the blend haha. 20 grams of protein for 160 calories is pretty solid for a plant based option.

Finding a good plant based protein is a challenge however I’ve found the one and this is IT! The taste is delicious and doesn’t have any weird after taste. It reminds me of a peanut butter chocolate bar especially blended with ice! Texture is good, I don’t find it chalky. I really appreciate the protein serving and added vitamins that doesn’t upset my stomach so I can drink this first thing in the morning. I could easily drink this more than once a day, it’s that good and satisfying.

[Edit: having written the following, I woke up the next day feeling super refreshed, strong, hardy. I’m going to keep using this, not thinking of it as chocolate (thinking instead of coconut and cacao), and seeing how it goes. Candidly, if I feel this good on a morning after a workout + powder shake, I’ll probably become a repeat customer. Boggles the mind. Still want to give the person who decided this is “chocolate” a hug.]Just popped this sucker open to see the expected mound of brown powder I knew I was getting when I ordered a chocolate flavored protein powder. It’s vaguely shiny, I thought to myself, removing the scoop full of protein from the jar and plopping it into my shaker bottle. It smelled chemically sweet, like a diet soda or a pixie stick as I shook it - turning the once-clear water into a muddy slurry.Walking out on to the balcony, I was rather pleased with myself, rewarding a night’s workout with chocolate protein shake, healthy but decadent, a calculus of sin. How clever was I? Popping the cap from my shaker, the chemically sweet scent hit my nose again, giving me pause. It’s processed protein with a mess of vitamins in it, there’s going to be a bit of a wonky smell. That happens. It can’t be any worse than Ovaltine, and that’s still tasty.I put the muzzle of the shaker to my lips and let fly the shaken mess upon my tongue. The granules of powder collided with the inside of my mouth, at once grainy and chalky, and the chemical sweetness washed entirely over my palate.“Oh no,” I thought, “it must be half stevia, what have I done?” Not a quitter, I continued to battle the thin but silty solution, willing it to move faster, hiding my tongue from the taste.And then, it stopped.I stood there, darkness in the city outside my balcony, shocked by this flavor. There’s cacao and coconut in this mix, and they reveal themselves in aftertaste. Perhaps if the flavor was called cacao and coconut with a mountain of stevia, I would have been prepared.That, friends and readers, is not what chocolate tastes like. Chocolate, even the truly bitter 100% beast-bars, has a richness and a depth that cannot be masked by chemical sweeteners. It can be enhanced with fat and sugar, blended with fruits and nuts to reveal undertones and complexities that emerge from roasting. Even the inexpensive, mostly low quality waxy chocolates we hand out to children every Halloween have some aspect of this character.Listen, I’ve tasted things that remind me less of the way a wet dog smells, and I’m sure there’s a real flavor underneath the mountain of sweeteners. This is not chocolate flavored. Chocolate does not taste like that. I want to find the chemical engineer who tasted this and said, “this is clearly chocolate” because someone clearly did them an unkindness.Friend, wherever you are, let us know and we will help you experience the full wonder of chocolate. You deserve to live better.Weirdly, I don’t think it tastes bad. Protein powder, at least for me, is always a bit chalky and always has some kind of sweetener to mask the taste of the additives in it. Fine, coool, it tastes like a flintsones chewable vitamin? Let’s go.Just, maybe don’t call that chocolate. Cacao and coconut, sure. But no one should be given to believe chocolate tastes like this.

This is my first time trying this protein. I typically buy plant based proteins, so I thought I'd give this one a shot. Chocolate is my go to and it blended nicely! I love that it has essential vitamins and minerals and the taste was good. It's a great way for me to get extra protein in my body as I struggle with that. I would purchase this product again!

The taste of the chocolate flavor was really good and much better than other protein powders I have had. The powder did not mix very easily, so I would strongly recommend a shaker to mix it with. Overall, it's great, and I love that it has better ingredients than the average protein powder!

Contains toxic PFAS. I had bought this and after I did some digging as I am breastfeeding and discovered it has toxic chemicals as found by a third party consumer watchdog organization. So misleading with all the ‘its the healthiest product and organic marketing.’ Be careful with this product!

Clean ingredients but contains artificial sweeteners which are bad

Okay! So, years and years ago I tried Sunwarrior protein powder. YEARS AGO. So here I am, on the protein powder train again, and I was looking for plant based protein with little to no crap in it. I wanted ingredients I could pronounce, no soy, no gluten (I have celiac) and no diary. I read and read and read article after article about the "best" plant based protein powders and then checked out the amazon reviews. NOW, I kept in mind that everyone has different taste buds so things are going to vary from person to person. I tried to look for the one with the fewest negative reviews solely on taste. I thought if it had less than 50% of negative reviews, it must not taste awful. This one won in that category, AND it had all the things I was looking for in a powder. I finally bit the bullet and got it (the reviews for this were better than sunwarrior and I liked the ingredients better). I have to say, I really like it. Sometimes I stir it with a spoon and it's not as smooth, BUT when I do it with the immersion blender it's perfect. I use oat milk, and a little bit of frozen fruit. The texture is perfect in the immersion blender, and it's really easy to drink. I don't find it to have an after taste, but if you haven't ever tried protein powder, or you don't like the taste of it AT ALL (meaning protein powder in general) you might notice it. I also don't find it chalky, but someone else could (again, this is tricky cus we all have different preferences). All in all, I would highly recommend this to someone. I like it a lot, and it doesn't bother my stomach . Hopefully this helps!
