Growing Naturals Raw Pea Protein Powders are Smooth and Creamy

I recently posted about how wonderful the Growing Naturals brown rice protein powders are. But I must say, their pea protein powder was an even bigger, and quite pleasant, surprise. I tried Growing Naturals Raw Pea Protein, and it quickly became one of my favorite protein powders.

Tasting Notes for Growing Naturals Raw Pea Protein Powders

I sampled the Vanilla Blast flavor and was shocked by how smooth and creamy it was in my simple frozen banana shake (pictured below). Not a speck of powderiness could be detected in this luxurious blend that had an almost French vanilla-like taste. Mind you, it definitely has a different flavor flare from the pea protein powder backdrop, but I found it unique in a delicious and comforting way.

Growing Naturals Vanilla Blast pea protein powder actually contains a blend of raw yellow pea protein powder and their organic whole grain brown rice powder for a total of 15 grams of protein per serving. It has just a smidgen more sugars than the straight brown rice proteins powders (3 grams vs 1-2 grams), but is perfectly sweetened (in my opinion) with a touch of organic coconut sugar, vanilla and stevia.

Some additional benefits of the pea protein powder (some from Growing Naturals, some in my opinion) include:

• 30% of your daily recommended iron in 1 serving
• Contains all the essential and non-essential amino acids, with a particularly high amount of the essential amino acid Lysine.
• An easily digestible form of raw protein that is Non-GMO and grown in the U.S. and Canada.
• A versatile creamy consistency for use in many types of recipes.

I’m really not a fan of most protein powders due to the gritty consistency. But these are truly smooth and add creaminess to my morning smoothies.
