Very smooth protein powder!

I admit I am particular and partial to certain protein powders so I was not sure how I would like this,I definitely give this a thumbs up! Although it is sweeter than I like (the added stevia is too sweet for me) because I usually add banana and other fruit to my smoothies, but with this powder I will add more greens because you can never get enough in. I’ll save my bananas for bread! This powder mixes real well and does not have a gritty texture at all, it is unbelievably “fine”!😄

Tastes really good and kept me full for hours! I just mixed it with plant based milk in a blender cup.

This is IT!

I am so amazed by this product and the results. I use a scoop with a plantbased mylk and frozen strawberries in the morning. And it keeps me going and I am even able to skip lunch if needed. Sometimes I make one in the evening instead of a snack. Overall it makes me feel good and my weight is perfect now. Definitely a great help with loosing weight because you feel full. No need for chips, cookies or chocolate anymore. Rather have a smoothie instead. Sometimes I use less mylk so I can scoop it out, like ice cream. Ordered again! Love it that Sunwarrior is a vegan company.

Good liquid-fast aid.

In hot outdoor temps, moving to a liquid diet helps cut fat, drop body temps, and increase comfort, in my opinion. A couple of these a day -- 1 scoop in 20oz water -- helps with that. Having tried both, I don't see enough difference between this "active protein" and the "warrior protein" to prefer the latter. Also handy to keep a waterproof nalgene-style bottle of powder to toss in a pack for hiking/biking. Flavor tests: Mixed with water: Vanilla, cake ok taste. Chocolate so-so. Mixed 3:1 water + milk or soy beverage: All good. Blended berry smoothie: All good. Cake very good. As coffee creamer: Failed experiment. Coffee ruined.

Clean, Effective Fuel for Active Days

Sunwarrior Active Protein has become my go-to for post-workout recovery and long trail days. The taste is smooth (especially the chocolate and vanilla), and it mixes easily with water or plant milk—no chalky texture or weird aftertaste. I really appreciate the clean, plant-based ingredients and the added BCAAs and MCTs, which help with both recovery and sustained energy. It’s gentle on the stomach, keeps me full longer than most other proteins, and supports my training without any bloating or crashes. Whether I’m lifting, hiking, or just need a quick meal replacement, this stuff delivers.

Protein Perfection!

I was STOKED when Sunwarrior launched this product and couldn't wait to try it! I love that it is Informed Choice Certified, has a mineral AND recovery blend to reduce inflammation/enhance performance, and is quite possibly the least chalky plant-based protein powder I've tried. I generally have a scoop of this after a run, boot camp class, or strength session. The vanilla flavor is definitely unique (in a good way) but it tastes great in a smoothie, with unsweetened almond milk, or with just water. Hoping to try the chocolate soon!

Fulfilled

Very nervous at first to take this product; because I’m very used to using raw products. I decided to go ahead and take a chance on this product. Wth that being said, I really enjoyed the product very good no complaints. You can blend it, mix it, use it in any form to consume. I feel like it does the job as far as making sure it’s Filling your body with nutrients, keeping you full, at the same time still able to consume food along the way without feeling too bloated. It does the job. I highly recommend. I think I should try it.

I recently purchased Sunwarrior Active Protein along with a few other supplements, and I can honestly say this one has become a daily staple for me. I use it every single day and genuinely love it. First, the quality really stands out. The ingredient list is clean and thoughtfully put together, which gives me a lot of confidence in what I’m putting into my body. I appreciate that it’s plant-based, easy to digest, and doesn’t leave me feeling bloated or heavy like some other protein powders I’ve tried in the past. The taste and texture are also excellent. It blends smoothly into water, smoothies, or plant milk without being gritty or chalky, and it has a pleasant, natural flavor that isn’t overpowering or overly sweet. That alone makes it easy to stay consistent, which is important to me. In terms of results, I’ve noticed improved recovery after workouts and more sustained energy throughout the day. It fits perfectly into my active lifestyle and supports my fitness goals without feeling like a compromise on health or taste. I’m truly thankful to have found a protein powder that checks all the boxes—clean ingredients, great taste, easy digestion, and real performance benefits. Sunwarrior Active Protein has earned a permanent place in my routine, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, plant-based protein they can actually enjoy using every day.

Good Plant Based Protein

Pros: -The flavor of this protein, I got the chocolate flavor, is actually better than I expected. Sometimes with protein powders, especially ones that are more speciality category, such as a plant-based or dairy-free protein powder, can taste a bit hit or miss. The chocolate flavor of this protein is actually good. Which leads me to my second point… -Texture. The texture of this protein is another thing that I was pleasantly surprised by. I’ve noticed, especially with plant-based proteins, that they tend to be grainier or a heavier texture. This one is still a bit of a texture, but not as grainy as some other plant-based proteins that I’ve tried. Because of this, it blends decently as well. Cons: My biggest grievance is the misleading 30 grams of protein. Now, it is 30 grams of protein, which is amazing because that’s a higher amount of protein just in general, but it’s for 2 scoops of the product. Now on a customer standpoint, they might see the price point & feel this isn’t a value for them. Though I understand plant-based proteins especially are a higher price point in general, but it seems more & more customers are looking for that “bang for their buck” without sacrificing quality. All in all being said, I think this is a great protein option for plant-based consumers or even for non vegan/vegetarian customers who just want to add more plant to their diet. I will be recommending this.

After using this for a few months I've decided to revise my original review. Yes, it is kind of grainy but it really is one of the best nondairy workout recovery protein shakes I've found. It also improves greatly if you're using a shaker bottle vs some other mixing approach, so that's my recommendation as far as how to get the best flavor experience. I also like that it provides pretty good levels of BCAAs which can be hard to come by. It's a good addition to a regimen that combines heavy exercise with dieting.

Makes a great pancake!

Bought this specifically to make protein pancakes and other protein heavy sweets. I just made some pancakes the other night with a scoop of this, a scoop of unflavored protein powder, some plain Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, and a bit of baking soda. The protein powders both mixed in easier than I thought they would and the pancakes turned out wonderfully. This powder is great for adding a sweet flavor without adding extra sugar. Sweet, protein-filled, and less than a gram of sugar? This is a winner for sure. Note: I forgot to take photos, but will do so next time and upload them to this review.

Excellent Taste

I’ve been looking for a new quality plant based protein at a reasonable price, and picked this one up on a Flash Sale. One of the things I avoid is sucralose (ie. Splenda), which is the most common sweetener in protein powders and it just doesn’t agree with me. This product uses stevia which is more natural. Other ingredients are quality as well, but taste isn’t sacrificed and it’s actually really good. I will be continuing to purchase this product indefinitely, recommending it to others, and also trying additional products from Sunwarrior.

I tried the Sunwarrior Active Protein Vanilla powder, and I'm impressed! This plant-based protein supplement is perfect for anyone looking to increase their protein intake without consuming animal products. With 30 grams of protein per serving, this powder is great for post-workout recovery or as a meal replacement. What I particularly enjoyed about this product was the taste and texture. The vanilla flavor is good and not too overpowering, and it mixes well with water or plant-based milk. The texture is smooth and not grainy like some other protein powders I've tried. I also appreciate that this powder is made with all-natural, organic ingredients, and is free from gluten, soy, and dairy. It's reassuring to know that I'm consuming a high-quality, clean protein supplement that supports my overall health and wellness. Overall, I highly recommend the Sunwarrior Active Protein Vanilla powder for anyone looking for a tasty and effective plant-based protein supplement.

Filling and Easy on the stomach

I have tried multiple types of plant based protein products with okay results. I like the balance of this one and the lean products sunwarrior carries. I have noticed after my morning shake I am not hungry until lunch. This wasn't the case with other products I have tried. The chocolate flavor is super good and not too sweet. The lean product chocolate flavor has a hint of cinnamon which is delicious! I have also seen good results with weight loss and muscle maintenance. As a very active person and someone who is also busy with kids this is a must for my life style.

Impressive Plant-based Protein

I have tried a few different plant-based protein bands in the past, and let me tell you I was not very happy overall with the ingredients, sugars, carb amount, etc. This protein on the other hand is almost perfect for me, and I don't have the terrible blowing side effects of different brands. I was happy to find a very low sugar and carb product that somehow still managed to keep a tasty flavor. I'm not picky by all means, but some protein products are gross and you have to add fruit and other ingredients to make them tolerable, and additives mean more calories.

Loved it!

The chocolate flavor tastes so freaking good. It has a slightly chalky texture but it isn’t overwhelming and doesn’t ruin the flavor at all in my opinion. I generally mix mine with almond milk but it’s also good in coconut milk or water. It mixes pretty easy and I didn’t get too much clumping. I also appreciate the fact that they fill the container up all the way. So many brands only fill the container half way or 2/3rds of the way and it drives me crazy. Especially with some of the more expensive brands. I’ll absolutely be ordering this from now on.

Vanilla / Unflavored Protein

The protein was delivered very quickly. I received my order with 36 hours after purchasing online. The protein meets all my nutritional needs and seems to be working well. I take 2 servings per shake to meet my protein goal for grams per pound of bodyweight. I bought the vanilla and unflavored protein. The texture is a bit chalky in both, It takes a bit of mental fortitude to get the unflavored one down with just water. The vanilla flavor tastes okay but you can still taste a bit of the plant based ingredients when consuming

Cant wait to get more

This was my favorite protein I have had in a while. Blends will with fruit and peanut butter powder. It worked as a smoothie as well as a protein pudding. It also packs a wallop with 30 grams of protein per service. This product can be used by expert and beginner alike because everyone can benefit from a high protein diet. If you want to recovery from workouts then I recommend this product. If you like good tasting and consistent texture protein look no further.

Hands down my favorite protein powder I’ve tried so far! It has a barely-there maple taste to it I really enjoy. I only do one scoop at a time, and that’s plenty. I believe the serving size is two scoops, which comes out to almost 1/2 c., way too much, in my opinion. I’ve used this protein powder successfully in my baking. Works great in homemade granola, banana bread, and protein bars. No bloating, no gas. (Vega plant protein gave me gas.) I’d love to try other SunWarrior blends.

Nice taste, smooth

I use this product to add protein to my plant-based diet. I appreciate the low-sugar content, pleasing taste and smooth, creamy texture. This protein powder is good mixed in a milk substitute and as an add to smoothies. This product is great for anyone looking to eat a clean, plant-based diet while aiding in recovery. The fact that it has been tested safe for sport is a huge benefit and allows me to trust this product for my every day use!

Not My Usual

I'm not a vegetarian but give this protein power a big thumbs up. It tastes great, and has 2550 milligrams of leucine, which is the reason I drink protein shakes. It's an easy way to get my daily requirement of protein to maintain my muscle mass and health. It also helps keep my diet a bit more diviersified because it's plant based. Some days I'll mix this with whey protein powder and then I've touched all the bases for well rounded nutrition.

My Go-To

All the essentials and then some. Tastes WAYYYY better than you'd expect it to for how much good nutrition is in there. Just downright feels good. 10/10 for sure. Pro-tip: Combine a scoop with your favorite juice and freeze in a Ninja Creami container for a super simple, high protein treat the next day. If you really want it to be ultra good, add a raw egg yolk and some maple syrup before freezing for a super delicious gelato-type experience.

Great Product at a Great Price!

This is a really great product for everyone & anyone just starting out with protein powders. I add a scoop to my smoothies or my blender bottle with coconut water! It thickens my smoothie to perfection and keeps my calories up when I’m indecisive on what I want to eat. The only reason I’m not giving this a 5 star rating is due to my own taste buds. Stevia is used as the sweetener and I prefer monk fruit or agave over anything. This powder is very sweet to the taste.

This is my go to

After trying a few different kinds of protein and doing endless hours of online research, I am now on my third tub of the Sunwarrior - Active Protein. I am not vegan or have a plant based diet, this is all just based on the research and what I have found works for me. It taste great, smells great, and I notice the results from my weight lifting. I have a shake of this and the creatine after going to the gym or any physical activity and I will tell you, you can FEEL the recovery happening.

Another Great SunWarrior Product

I have been a big fan of SunWarrior protein powder for many years now. It tastes good, digests well, and is not clumpy when shaken. It has taken a lot of trial and error to find their products. As for the Active Protein powder, I have been wanting a higher protein profile for a while. The Active Protein gives that with the same great taste. Even with a higher protein amount is is not clumpy through it is a bit grainy, which is something you will find with mostly all higher protein powders.
