Orgain Organic Protein Caffeine Flavored Reviews Summary

Texture and Mixability

Pros:

• "It’s so creamy doesn’t taste cheaply not does it taste anything like artificial sweetener."
• "Not chalky like other sports drinks easily mixed in a simple shaker bottle."
• "After only a bit of shaking with liquid and ice, the powder blends easily into a shake - no chalky texture."
• "It's super creamy when blended with 8 oz. of non-dairy milk and has just the right amount of sweetness, with no chalky flavor."
• "It blends well in my Ninja."
• "Using a blender bottle with a few ice cubes blends the powder really well."
• "It mixes very well with water."

Cons:

• "It can be gritty, so be sure to use a shaker, as it does help improve the texture."
• "It does not hand-mix well at all. Indeed, it often clumps on my spoon and while the outside of the clump is wetted, the inside is bone dry."
• "It was somehow gritty even though the powder was thick."
• "It’s also really thick, kinda gritty too."
• "It has a pretty grainy texture, even when mechanically blended."
• "It looks and feels like wet sand and doesn't dissolve in the liquid very well."
• "very chalky as well, doesn’t dissolve all the way."

Taste

Pros:

• "I recently tried this vegan protein powder and I have to say, I'm impressed with its quality and taste."
• "The chocolate flavor is good, I don’t find it too sweet or bitter."
• "It almost smells like Nesquik, it doesn't taste like it, but it is one of the best tasting protein powders I've had!"
• "It has a nice chocolate flavor and doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth."
• "This is the only chocolate protein I like that doesn’t take strongly like artificial sweetener."
• "The creamy chocolate fudge rendition is indulgent without being overpoweringly sweet, striking a fine balance that appeals to the palate."
• "It tastes great."

Cons:

• "It smelled like peas! It also tasted like peas with no real chocolate or peppermint."
• "The artificial sweetener/stevia taste is overpowering and the artificial peppermint flavor is incredibly bitter."
• "There’s such a strong artificially sweetened kind of taste that I never could look past after a whole container of the stuff."
• "Over price one of the worst cookies and cream flavor ever tried."
• "This is probably the worst protein powder I’ve tried."
• "It is so overly sweet, and won't blend in- so it has a grainy texture."
• "The flavor is awful! The artificial sweetener leaves a horrible aftertaste."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Just wish it was cheaper. Stock up when it's on sale!"
• "Also bought it at a slightly better price than Costco's."
• "I rate it a 5 because it was a good price and the quality is good."
• "I think I got this on sale on Amazon but since I tend to stretch it with only using one scoop I think it’s a good value for a good quality protein."
• "We have been drinking Orgain chocolate shakes for 5 or 6 years. Amazon usually has the best price, but once in awhile, Costco has a sale that beats Amazon."
• "This is by far and away my favorite protein powder. The flavor is deliciously chocolately without any fake sweeteners and a smooth texture."
• "Delivery on time. Package in great condition."

Cons:

• "I have used this protein powder for many years and it tastes great. Blends very well too. I have found that the price has really gone up in the past year or two and there are other options out there so I don't buy this anymore."
• "While the new look is visually appealing, functionality seems slightly compromised. Resealing the pouch can be a tad tricky, which poses concerns regarding the product’s longevity and freshness."
• "So sorry I wasted my money!"
• "I think the cost of the product is much too high: it amounts to gouging the consumer."
• "Amazon won’t take it back and it’s a huge waste of money."
• "So I consider this product to be overpriced."
• "Brand new the bottle only came half full (See pictures)."

Health and Nutrition

Pros:

• "I don’t get any stomach discomfort like I do with whey."
• "It's so refreshing to find a product with great quality ingredients, and none of the high-inflammation ingredients that are so often included in protein shakes."
• "The 7 grams of organic fiber further amplifies its nutritional prowess."
• "Boasting 21 grams of organic protein sourced from peas, brown rice, and chia seeds, it’s clear that quality isn’t compromised."
• "This brand is one of the better ones I've found when it comes to combination of price point, quality of ingredients and protein content."
• "Love Orgain products... great protein sources without artificial sweeteners."
• "On a low sugar diet, because I'm diabetic. Great between meals but the best use is I put in my coffee as creamer!!!"

Cons:

• "Rice of any sort, EVEN ORGANIC, should be eliminated from our food too!!! It's very high on the glycemic index and feeds all sorts of ailments!!!"
• "Misleading on '0g Sugar', instead it added 5g of artificial sweetener 'ERYTHRITOL'."
• "It contains erythritol which is the new artificial sweetener 'they' are poisoning us with."
• "Also, 0 grams of sugar is misleading because each serving has 15g of carbohydrates in which your body turns into sugar."
• "Use at your own risk. I have used this product until today at which time I watched 3 separate news reports linking a substance known as Erythritol used in this protein powder to blood clotting, heart attack, and stroke issues."
• "Contains artificial sweetener erythritol , a sugar alcohol which was causing 24-hour headaches and nausea."
• "Tastes better than I thought buy the artifical sweeteners don't seem organic, and have negative studies."
