SoLo Pea Protein Powder

This is my first experience with a “Pea“ protein, so I am not able to compare it to any other Pea protein brands. I was looking for an affordable, low sodium, vegan/non dairy, high protein powder, with minimal ingredients, which is why I went with this one. This brand has only (1) ingredient, the highest protein, and the lowest sodium that I was able to find. Although it has no added flavoring, the natural flavor has an earthy hint of sweet pea, which is not overbearing. It is a bit gritty, but in a “micro” gritty way. Difficult to explain so I hope that helps. The protein does dissolve well, even in cold water. However, it does settle quickly. In cold liquid, or hot liquid, it will settle quickly. When mixed in food or smoothies it blends well. If you are the type to be able to chug it down quickly before it settles, you will be fine. If you are the type that doesn’t mind stirring it a few times, you will be fine. For most, I would imagine that, this is a protein that would be best in a blended smoothie, or mixed in with food. I do put it in my hot coffee in the morning however, I have to keep the spoon in my coffee to keep stirring it due to the settling of the protein. Same with a cold drink. I mixed this protein with oats, honey, and peanut butter. Then put it in a bowl. I keep it covered in the fridge. A few bites help with sweet cravings. It’s delicious! I will be purchasing again on subscription!

An incredible source of all-natural, organic, GMO-free, vegan, unflavored, vegetable (yellow pea) protein with no added ingredients whatsoever (hence the word "solo" on the top of the label). I think "Solo" should be removed from the title because it makes people think that's the name of the company when this product is actually made by Folona, not a company called "Solo." The first few times I used this product I struggled with the flavor, even gagged the first time I drank it, but after a few times using it I quickly got accustomed to the flavor and texture. It will clump and be overly thick unless properly mixed because there are no declumping agents added (only ingredient is the pea protein). I used a milk frother designed for lattes and cappuccinos, though a blender would also work. I appreciate that this protein powder is from peas grown in Canada rather than the United States. 99% of farms in the US use dangerous, non-organic, toxic herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers as well as other nasty chemicals. Only ~1% of farmland is the US is organic, a frighteningly low figure, that can be increased by only buying organic foods — demand increases the availability of organic foods and reduces the area of non-organic farmland. RoundUp (glyphosate) has an insanely long half-life rendering it effectively non-biodegradable and one of the "forever chemicals" to avoid at all costs. Any farmers using non-organic farmland today who want to switch to organic won't be able to effectively do so for years, if ever, because of the glyphosate content, and other chemicals, in the soil. Indoor cultivation and hydroponics are ways US-grown food/plants can avoid the toxic/forever chemicals in the soil. I prefer buying food grown in European countries (glyphosate has been outlawed in most of the EU for years) or Canada where I believe glyphosate is used less frequently and therefore I hope there is much less glyphosate in the soil and thus less in this product. I'm amazed at the amount of protein per serving (30 grams!) for only two scoops of powder. The size of the container is great because it's actually nearly full so very little wasted space which I appreciate. I also like that this product has a significant amount of iron (one serving has 55% of the RDA) which is difficult for me, as a vegetarian, to get enough of in my diet everyday. Compared to the Terrasoul brand organic GMO-free pea protein powder, I strongly prefer this Folona brand powder in terms of price, consistency, and taste. I will definitely buy this product again. I'm very happy to have found a vegan/vegetarian-friendly source of protein. I also love the fact that the amino acid breakdown is listed on the label indicating exactly how much, in grams, there is of every essential and non-essential amino acid. Very helpful for those who track their calories and nutrient intake.

LOW SODIUM only 3%. High in protein 30G. It dissolves in cold water fine with stirring with spoon. No sugars added so it has a green pea taste but is not bitter. Did not find the drink any more gritty then other powders I have purchased. At 2.7 lbs. it will be a long time before my next purchase. I think it is a good value. No clumping if you mix with spoon. Contains all essential amino acids and BCAA's.

After reading some of the negative reviews of this product, I was a bit hesitant about ordering it. But I wanted a low-sodium, high-protein, plant-based powder and decided to give it a try. I was definitely NOT disappointed. The taste is perfectly fine. I add a tiny bit of organic stevia and mix the protein powder with water using a hand blender. I’ve had zero digestive issues, am getting a good shot of protein, and actually find it very satisfying to drink. People who are used to drinking flavored protein powders might find the taste of the SOLO organic pea protein a little different but my taste buds are picking up grainy and earthy flavors that I enjoy very much. The HUGE bonus to me is the low sodium content. I’ve begun subscribing to this product and am very pleased that I found it.

We have made this with milk, nonfat-2% , and homemade Oatmilk. The powder mixes very nicely. We have not noticed anybad oder to it. It does have a bit of a peaish taste if not mixed with any fruit or greens We mix our with frozen fruit. Half a cup or 1 banana. Husband also does a Tbsp of peanut butter. So as far as Oatmilk goes it is a little gritty. It isn't unpleasant or off setting though. I have also added greens to this and its been really good. Fyi : homemade Oatmilk tends to be a little gritty. As far as using Milk , husband says its creamy and filling . He has pb & banana every morning. He says it carries him to first break at work which is big. He feels like it sets his stomach for the day. So the options for adding fruits/veg/ other flavors is pretty versatile due to the mellow pea flavor. The only flavor we havent liked was ginger. It really intensified the pea and drowned out the peach. The protien content is high without tons of sugar. You get a fairly good amount of protien powder for your money. But all that aside the quality of the pea protien is so easily to digest. It is so easy on problem stomachs.

This is a relatively economical organic vegan protein, which is what I was looking for, but I’ve had mixed results incorporating it into food. It’s fantastic in my gluten-free bread recipes, blending in nicely while enhancing nutrition. It’s too heavy for my muffin recipes, making them kind of soggy and pudding-like. And there is too much non-neutral chalky taste to put in my oatmeal or drinks. I’ll keep this handy for breads but won’t be going through it as fast as I anticipated.

As a vegan, protein is very important to our diet and this is a really good one. We have repurchased this many times and will continue to keep buying it. We use it in our smoothies, baking, and so many ways and it has no taste at all. The texture is good and it does not have a strong pea smell, which is an added benefit. We do recommend this product.

Honest as possible. This is a great protein option if you have IBS, PCOS or any sort of gastric issue. I have both and gastritis. So far I haven't had any flare ups or any push back from the powder, but I will say it may just be my tolerance as other protein powders gave me really bad acne and IBS flare ups in the first go. It's extremely filling for smoothies, and keeps me filled up for quite some time after having it, which is what you want for PCOS weightloss. Downside: The texture is extremely grainy and the taste is very prominent. It would be advised to make this with baked goods if you don't like grainy textures or slight off tastes when drinking something. I can tolerate it enough to have it in my smoothies every day. Overall, a great protein supplement if you can't reach daily goals and good for any body with a sensitive gut or dairy intolerance. For the cost, serving size and grams of protein you are getting, this is worth the buy.

Having tried numerous vegan protein powders, some good some not so good, this one is actually quite nice. In fact my family and I like it a lot. The flavour is pleasant, not offensive in any way. We use a healthy oat drink with little to no additives or semi skimmed milk for the main fluid. Then sometimes we add some greek yogurt, small amount of raw cacao powder, a small squeeze of maple syrup... sometimes... Even a shake of chilli flakes! Yum! It's satiating and the texture when mixed is lovely. It thinkens nicely in fluid and is not at all grainy. When some reviews criticise it that it still tastes of peas, it's very mild and subtle. But also it does have a nice taste. If you're not a fan of pea flavour, don't buy pea protein. At any rate this one is definitely on the mild subtle side. There may be better products out there in this range, and there certainly are much more expensive options, but this one is great!
