As an athletic vegetarian who aspires to be all-natural, it's hard to find a way to stay away from nutritionism while still giving my body what it needs to continue performing well. Although I believe protein powders are generally processed and are not as natural as say the protein found in peanuts, mushrooms, or meat; Plantfusion is a happy medium between the processed and the natural. My favorite aspects of this protein powder are the vegan, 100% natural, non-GMO, soy-free ingredients. There is also no xylitol used to sweeten this powder either, another winning factor for me, as I have experienced intense migraines with very similar protein powders that DO use xylitol. This product instead uses stevia, as a sweetener I presume, and though I would prefer it did not contain this either, I have resolved to use it despite that.
The powder mixes very easily with anything: homemade fruit smoothies, yogurt, (rice/almond) milk, or plain water. Give it 10 seconds of shaking in a protein mixer or even 10 rotations of a spoon in water and it has dissolved! The texture is neither thin nor thick and leaves no chunks; leaving me with a drink that has substance but still easy for sipping. The powder should be put inside whatever container you use for preparing/drinking with just a minimal amount of care. As it is lighter than sugar in weight but heavier than confectioner's sugar; it has a tendency to create small clouds of powder if carelessly dumped into a tall glass.
The vanilla flavor is nice, not overly rich; a nice accent to any beverage. I may try the flavorless option available next time as it is less expensive and I don't mind my smoothies without its extra taste.
I have never experienced any problems in digestion when using PlantFusion, which I hear can be a problem for some when using protein powder. I have one drink with a scoop of PlantFusion on days I am cycling or running, within an hour after my activity has ended. I use it to both supplement my diet, and help maintain/create muscle mass.
Overall, this is a great product for anyone seeking an alternative to protein powders that are ingredient-dense, soy-based, whey-based, and/or contain xylitol. Have fun, be active, stay natural!
