SoLo Pea Protein Powder

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.

This is really good pea protein powder. High quality! I used the Now brand for years, but this one is far better in many ways. Low sodium and mixes easily and better. No clumping as the Now brand. Also better taste, content off other ingredients and most importantly better results. I use less in my daily breakfast smoothies than I had to with Now brand with even better results …it really makes a difference for me. Easier to digest and less or no bloating. I mix it with Metagenics Ultra Clear Ph that I order from the company directly as Amazon stoped to vary this brand long ago. I mix both in my Viramix with yogurt, chia seeds, almond granola , banana and strawberries, some purified water. Best healthy breakfast ever… all approved by my doctors too. It works great and it is very healthy combination. It is high in price than it should be though. I highly recommend it anyway. Hope my recipe helps. Give it a try. You will not regret it. I’m reordering it again.

I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to tolerate the taste, based on reviews, but it’s totally fine…and filling. I made it with 1/2 frozen banana, 1/4 cup blueberries, and 1 pack of Stevia. After adding a couple of ice cubes, I blended it well, and it’s fine! Not as yummy as Orgain Organic powder, but more protein and no additives. Totally worth the trade off. Next time I’ll leave out the Stevia (which probably didn’t make much difference anyway). Using a blender is a must, but I highly recommend this product!

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!

Pea protein is derived from finely ground yellow peas. The least expensive products have particles that settle out of most drinks. I have given up on those. This product is finer ground and further refined. The particles stay in suspension, and one can usually consume a drink before they settle enough to be a problem. This product is almost white with a slight yellow cast. It has no unusual taste or odor so it can be added to almost any drink. Now some inconvenient truth. Every wanna-be athlete assumes that protein supplements magically convert themselves into muscle. That is partly true, but one can only store so much. Fast-digesting shakes overpower muscles and are largely wasted. People in the First World already consume 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body mass without even thinking about it and without supplements. It is rare that one works out enough for protein to be the limiting factor. Your kidneys degrade throughout life and almost everyone would be on dialysis if they lived long enough. With that said, vegetable supplements do not appear to do the same damage as animal products. Digested amino acids from protein stimulate muscles to store them. While protein can only be stored in muscle, it does not necessarily increase size or strength as workouts would. Beyond some point, muscles cannot utilize amino acids as rapidly as they were consumed and the excess turns first into glucose, like cheap starch would, and eventually into fat. Older folks, say older than 55 years do not sense the amino acids that are available for storage. They NEED more protein to trigger utilization even though some fraction their supplements would be wasted. The trigger comes from the amino acid leucine. Young folks are triggered enough by their normal diets. Besides being a vegetable protein, this manufacturer adds leucine to the powder. Even old folks won't need huge amounts of it.

Folana pea protein is an excellent quality product that provides a very palatable and easy to mix vegan protein without the high sodium content that other pea protein isolates contain. I’ve used this product for years and have it auto shipped to me because I never want to be without it.

I've tried many Pea Protein Isolate, Solo is the best by far. Its organic and it gives me the energy, its fills you up, it's taste is a little chalky, but that's OK for me, the texture is great, easy to use, and its filled to the top. Will buy again. 💯

I was really excited about the fact that the product has less sodium than many other products. This was the primary reason I bought this product over others and the clean ingredients. While it claims to be unflavored , the overall taste has a strong aftertaste. I also have a similar product from another manufacturer which tastes better but has more sodium and of course I love the lack of any unhealthy extras in this product compared to others so that's key. I am not particularly sensitive to taste however I find the aftertaste hard to palate. I have been trying different variations of healthy fruit or bases to try it with. I typically use unsweetened almond milk and banana. Ive also added mango. Still, the taste. I am not sure that I will purchase again. This is the third pea protein product that I have tried so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But overall I think this is a good solid product. I'm committed to using it, just hoping I can find the right combo. Love that it is low in sodium, carbs and fat. Update: i also wanted to add that it does not upset the tummy, and I eventually got used to the taste, which isn't that bad after all. I found a few things that I could add to it and it has been a staple for me in the morning. In fact, I used this through my chemo, as I was not able to tolerate solid foods for a while. I actually will be repurchasing. Thank you for that Solo.

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!
