It is so rare to find a protein that is vegan, keto, and tastes great. I am so grateful that Sunwarrior exists. For the first time in awhile, I feel like I am taking in enough protein to build muscle. I love the chocolate and vanilla flavors! Highly recommend.

Sunwarrior's Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder has been added to my everyday routine. Beyond the classic shakes, I jazzed up my morning waffles and even stirred it into my afternoon yogurt for a yummy twist. It adds a tasty protein punch without the chalky texture. For a quick energy bite, I mixed it with nut butter and rolled oats and it kept me fueled during outdoor adventures. The taste is a game-changer, making it a go-to for quick and tasty protein. No complaints here—just a shoutout to Sunwarrior for the delicious boost! FYI: Got this free from Sunwarrior, but this review is all me.
Sunwarrior gave me this product free to try and let me say it was a very delicious protein shake with a wonderful flavor! If you like chocolate and peanut butter you won’t be let down. I would use it every morning for breakfast and it was a good start to my day that kept me full until lunch. It pairs well with almond milk. I would say the only down fall is that it separates kind of quick where some of the power will settle at the bottom of them cup even though I did use a blender. Once you get to the bottom just swirl the cup around and this will break it up again. Thank you Sunwarrior for the opportunity.

My wife and I have been looking for a protein powder that not only taste good but is lactose free. This product being vegan is derived from peas seeds and berries, where as traditional whey proteins are the byproduct of curdled milk. My wife being lactose intolerant cannot use whey. We were very happy when we found this product. We use it as a meal replacement during the day and find it to be not only filling but delicious. We add PB Fit powder a banana and sometimes espresso. This powder not only gives you the protein you need to get through your day but it also provides 6g of BCAA (amino acids) recovery is key. Be smart and drink sunwarrior.

I had a buddy ask how it compared to another competing brand, which I still had some remaining. So I stacked them side-by-side and showed him the comparison. Better quality products, more protein delivered. The competitor didn't have BCAA's at all which is important despite many not knowing why. I am a former Ironman major sponsored tri-athlete and BCAA's mean fast absorbing and go to work quickly amino acids. No sugar is important as well if you care about ketosis. The quality of the ingredients is what really interested me in the first place. All sourced and thoughtfully integrated to deliver a product that does what it says. Smooth and tasty, no gritty or off-taste issues. I can feel good because it's actually good for me. Well done!

Decided to give this a try because of the discount – but ended up being my favorite protein powder I've tried in a while! I have the vanilla and the chocolate. Personally, I noticed a little more of that "fake sweetness" flavor in the chocolate, so I'd recommend grabbing the vanilla and adding cocoa powder if you want the chocolate flavor. Interested to try the berry flavor eventually, too! As with most any protein powder, it can get a little grainy in things like oatmeal, milk, etc, but if you blend it up, the texture is great. I especially like it in smoothies – makes them thick & delicious.
Sunwarrior gave me this free product to try and I was excited to learn the flavor was chocolate pb. I used the protein with oat milk by itself at first and I’m happy to report it was not chalky like a lot of other vegan proteins. It had good flavor and mixed well although I did choose to add a banana and more peanut butter the second time around. This is more because I love peanut butter than the mix lacking flavor. Didn’t feel bloated when drinking this after my workouts either. Overall I have no complaints. SunWarrior makes great proteins for us vegans and chocolate peanut butter is a solid OG flavor.

Hello! I was gifted a full size Warrior Blend Protein to try and review! I already wrote a review but I lost!!! No problem it’s worth doing it again! Let me just say that I have tried and re-purchased both the Lean Meal shake and the Slim Collagen Boost and I love them. When I saw the program to try the plain protein I was very excited! The flavor is great! I use it daily in my smoothies and it has a great clean subtle flavor that blends well with everything else I put in my smoothie. It is great vegan protein! One scoop is 17 grams of protein! I have liked using this clean blend so much it is almost out. Will I purchase again? I think so as I need to have a neutral flavored vegan protein to use. I have been in a weight loss health journey and I think this blend has helped me lose extra pounds mostly because of the amount you can add to a smoothie without it taking over the flavors! It’s so good I could literally eat it plain! You could mix it with yogurt or oatmeal.. it’s just YUMMY! slightly sweet!!! I had never tried any Sunwarrior proteins before I joined this program and it has become one of my favorite brands. My world of protein powder has certainly opened up and I am enjoying the health benefits and am happy to share my experience. I hope everybody stays healthy! Thank you Sunwarrior!!!! And see you soon!

This has become my new favorite protein powder! It's organic, dairy-free, and the pea protein isn't chalky at all. The vanilla* blends well with just about everything and the balanced BCAAs in this formula support me before, during, and after my workouts. Another big perk is that it's low in sugar without having an overpowering Stevia flavor. As a sports and performance nutritionist, this is a product I highly recommend to many of my clients as well. *As others have noted, I also found the chocolate flavor to be stronger, and not in a pleasant way

I've been using Sunwarrior protein for years and years, dating back to the early days of my fitness journey that lead to being showcased in a P90X infomercial (and SW was my protein of choice, switching over from that other plant-based protein laden with heavy metals, so SunWarrior helped to make that possible...legal disclaimer: results may vary). :)
I couldn't stomach the old 'sprouted' version, but then came the Sunwarrior Warrior blend line and I was hooked—finally a plant-based protein powder that easy on the palate and actually quite tasty. I've been drinking it every since...
I added in a jug of the new(er?) 'Active' protein to give that a shot, also.
Moreover, I swear I placed the order yesterday just before 9:00am and the package was delivered to my door this morning before noon...more than impressive!

I’ve been on a journey to find the perfect plant-based protein powder, and Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Chocolate has officially won me over. The rich, chocolatey flavor is not only satisfying but feels like a treat after a workout or even as a quick snack during a busy day. The texture blends beautifully, whether you’re using water, almond milk, or tossing it into a smoothie. No weird grittiness or chalky aftertaste—just smooth, delicious fuel. It’s become a family favorite too! My kids are big fans when I make chocolate “milkshakes” with a banana and some peanut butter. They have no idea they’re drinking something so healthy, and I’m not about to tell them! I also love the clean ingredient list and the added bonus of no bloating or stomach discomfort, which I’ve experienced with other proteins. The amino acid profile gives me peace of mind knowing I’m getting everything I need to recover and stay energized. Whether you’re an athlete, a busy parent, or just someone who loves good chocolate, this protein powder is a must-have. Sunwarrior, you’ve made a loyal fan out of me. Highly recommend!

Since I can’t have any dairy products, it’s been tough finding a good plant-based protein that taste good and has clean ingredients. Don’t worry has some of the breast ingredients that I have seen and has a relatively short list, which I like! It taste great, and is not too gritty. It’s very smooth and it’s perfect if you are just looking to get more protein in or if you need to help with recovery and maintaining fitness levels. The chocolate flavor is my favorite and I love putting the vanilla and smoothies!

I’ve found most non-vegan protein powders to be difficult to digest. My search for plant based powders has been a let down to say the least. I hate the grittiness that comes with most of them and often the I-guess-I’ll-put-up-with-this taste. Many people had left good reviews for the Sunwarrior protein, so I decided to go for it. Glad I did! I ordered the warrior blend in chocolate. I hate having to take the time to use a blender for everything and if I’m on the go that’s just not feasible. This protein blends well with just a shaker bottle and is not too hard on my stomach. The taste is great. Pros: Easy to blend/shaker friendly Sensitive tummy friendly Good taste Plant based Cons: Stevia aftertaste

This is the best vegan protein. If you’re an ingredient nerd like me, finding a protein powder with quality ingredients and a solid amino acid profile is near impossible. After much time of shameless research, I found a small handful of companies that met my protein powder standards and tried most of them. Quality/ingredients were near the same but I cannot express how much better the flavor the Sunwarrior was than the others. You wouldn’t even be able to tell that it was vegan! I bought the protein powders so you don’t have to, just get the Sunwarrior - it is well worth the price.

I started using Sunwarrior about 1 year ago when traditional whey proteins started giving me stomach issues. Sunwarrior has been a great option for me and I'll continue to buy the Warrior Blend. Pro's: great taste (I've only tried chocolate, I can't speak to the other flavors), doesn't cause stomach issues, cleanly sourced, works great in smoothies (my favorite combination is banana, plain yogurt, sunbutter, flax seed) and no issues with texture in smoothies. Con's: the only reason why I am giving it an 8 instead of a 9 or 10 is because it's tricky to mix well with water, milk or coffee using just a spoon. In my experience, it clumps at the bottom of the glass and the texture is a bit gritty. I don't use a blender bottle but maybe folks who do have had success with blending that way.

I gave this protein a score of 10 because I just keep coming back to it. The taste is great even without milk. I just make smoothies with frozen strawberries, blueberries a scoop of protein and water. And it tastes great. Doesn’t make me feel bloated. I’ve only purchased the vanilla flavor so that’s all I can speak on but once the mocha flavor is in stock, I’m definitely gonna check that out. Will probably purchase the unflavored one on my next order because it does have more grams of protein in it per scoop.

I got my yearly labs performed and my A1C was in the prediabetic zone. I was shocked and started looking for foods that I was eating that was spiking my glucose levels. I got a constant glucose monitor and found my Orgain protein powder was spiking my glucose levels like a candy bar! I did a bunch of research and found Sunwarrior brand. Their "Total Carbohydrate" were only 2g compared to Orgain's 15g. So if you are just wanting a good protein powder that isn't loaded with carbs, Sunwarrior is definitely the best choice. I got the "Chocolate" and "Chocolate Peanut Butter" flavors and I can say the chocolate is good but not great tasting but the chocolate peanut butter is a much better flavor if you like peanut butter.

I’ve tried several different types of plant based protein powders over the years. I found one that checked most of the boxes. It disolved well, tasted good, didn’t cause stomach upset and used clean ingredients. Step in Sun Warrior. A good responsible company with excellent products. Checks all my boxes because it’s sweetened with monk fruit. Well done. I’ve been using Sun Warrior for several months now and it’s always in the cupboard. We use it after hard exercise to aid in recovery and anytime we need a protein boost. Dissolves great Tastes amazing

I used this product post workout, mixed with chocolate milk. It has a good chocolate flavor. Not too sweet, like all of their products I have tried. I love this about them. I feel like it is a good recovery drink. Relative to other products, it is thick and I have to dilute it with more liquid, usually water. Not a big deal. I also find that it has a bit of a grainy texture going down, even with the extra dilution. I have been happy with Sunwarrior, except the run out of inventory a lot. I understand that they have high quality standards, however having to wait for supply is disappointing.

I actually really enjoy this supplement in either a fruit smoothie or a coffee drink. The flavor is actually pretty strong, and has a sort of cakey vibe to it, but it's not at all unpleasant or chemical tasting, so I don't mind it. And, of course, it's vanilla so it goes with basically anything. I usually pair it with a collagen supplement for even more protein. Only complaint that I have is that it clumps a little bit more than some other brands that I've used, which are more powdery. That's probably one of the reasons that it's so tastey, but if make smoothies like I do, use your ice to separate it from your other wet ingredients or it can turn into a kind of paste and keep things from being sucked up by the blender blades. Easy problem to solve, but sometimes a minor annoyance around lunchtime.

The vanilla protein is DELICIOUS! I tried it with water but I mostly used it with unsweetened almond milk and not only was it delicious, it felt fulfilling, and good on my tummy. Most definitely recommend as a post workout or even as a meal replacement. I will most definitely be purchasing again. Either experienced lifters or beginners this is great because it taste amazing, it blends really well, and I was looking forward to my workout just because I got excited for my treat after. I felt my muscle recovery went really well, I could do very hard in my workouts and next day I could easily move my muscle with little to no strains. It's amazing, truly loved it.

I have tried chocolate and vanilla. Both are great flavors with minimal graininess. The texture and thickness of these shakes is great. They are about a 7 out of 10 on my arbitrary sweetness scale, higher than I would tolerate in a weigh based protein but matched well for a plant based shake that needs a little more help with flavor. That being said, I probably wouldn't choose this over a weigh based protein If I could still drink dairy, but I would definitely hesitate in that decision, which is better than any other plant proteins have come on my list.

As with every other Sunwarrior product I've tried, this one is excellent. It doesn't have a bitter, too-sweet stevia taste, it mixes smoothly, and the berry flavor is surprisingly yummy. I tend to choose the more bland protein powder flavors for fear of the "flavor" being gross, but this is really good! And it is filling and gives me energy, without leaving me bloated at all. I forgot to add a scoop in my smoothie (which had a bunch of other stuff in it) the other day, and partway through my work day I was surprised that I was tanking a little and had noticed that the smoothie tasted a bit flat...so that experience showed me how much I really like Warrior Blend berry protein, and what a nutritional and flavor boost it really does provide!

I have used Warrior Blend for about a year as a supplement to active lifestyle. I grew concerned about the ingredients that were added to whey products, and quit using them several years ago. As the quarantine hit and my workout routine became more intense, I wanted to add some support to lean muscle repair. But I also needed something that was easy to digest and was responsibly sourced. Enter Sunwarrior. The plant based protein is exactly what I was looking for. I typically get the Natural flavor, but thought I would try the chocolate for a change. The flavor is terrific! Be aware that it is sweetened with Stevia, if that is a concern for you. Also, shop the other flavors, Chocolate comes in at the low end with 25g of protein per serving. Natural checks in at 28g per serving. The difference is minor for me, and either is sufficient for my needs. It does have a very sticky, almost wet consistency. Sometimes difficult to mix.
