About NOW Foods
NOW's Mission
The NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.
In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods-a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.

Great protein. Very plain and simple. Taste is a bit strong if you use a lot of this protein by itself. Also adds a small gritty texture but not bad it you don't over do it. I use this with another rice protein from my shakes. The pea gives me the few essential amino acids that the rice protein lacks. I also love it being just protein which allows me to make my own mixture of miscelaneous supplements instead of having them already put into the protein.
-
I add Stevia and Cinnamon to this and it tastes great. I love that is GMO-free too.
-
I love this protien .I can add it to smoothies and it is not grainy or clumpy. It shakes up in water well too. I also add it to salad dressings and it doesnt chage the flavor, just thickens it and provides extra protin, for those muscles!!
-
Excellent price, great tasting. Perfect for those who can't tolerate whey and want a lower carb alternative other than soy. I add one scoop with 1/2 a banana, two tbsp of natural pb, a tsp of vanilla extract, a shot of kal liquid stevia, almond milk
-
Great Protein, Mixes easy and not at all like Brown Rice protein which has the consistency of Chalk. This, being hypoallergenic is great for people who make smoothies every day and do not rotate.
-
Excellent product! I take 3 scoops a day, it really thickens shakes and blends well. Taste is not too bad, though I need to mix in Xylitol to sweeten the mix... worth it for the non-GMO non-grain protein.
-
A very affordable vegan protein. Very bland tasting. Be sure to add flavorful ingredients.
-
This has worked really well for me. I like the fact that is just plain protein powder without sweetners, vitamins, etc. that I tend to be sensitive to. I add cinnamon, banana and carob for a great taste.
-
Grate scource of protein. Some say you can,t taste the peas, but I could. I don't mind it, but for some you may want to add something to it for taste.It's difficult to mix by shaking. I had to use a blender to mix it well. It's yellow in color which makes sense beacuse it's dirived from yellow peas. Overall I like this product.
-
Because this product is unflavored, when I add dates, bananas, chia seeds (soaked in water first), flax oil with lignans, Vanilla Coconut Milk, Vanilla Soy Milk, Agave, and a ripe thick slice of avocado together and whip it up, it tastes like I'm eating yummy, thick vanilla cake batter...which I remember doing a million years ago!! Now I get to again!!
-
Wonderful supplement ingredient. Since I didn't want soy and was going for vegan, this is one of the better powders I've found. Using it with almond milk and a little fresh fruit and it tastes great!
-
great product. neutral taste and easy to use.
-
This has a noticeable but mild and not unpleasant flavor. It mixes well with soy protein, and the combination provides the necessary nutrients without whey protein, meaning one less animal-based food.
-
This is the perfect product for me. I need a pea protein that doesn't have any fruit juice, carbs, or sugar added. I can't use whey or soy, so this product is the perfect solution for me. I sweeten it with stevia and it tastes fine. It tastes best when thoroughly mixed, so when I'm home, I mix it in the blender. Thanks for a plain simple product that can be used by individuals with dietary restrictions!
-
I was really impressed with this protein powder. As a vegan, I have a hard time finding proteins that aren't super expensive or involve whey. This one was affordable, delicious, and had a great protein content. I couldn't even taste it after I added it to a smoothie! Love it!
-
I use this as an alternative to whey protein in my post workout recovery smoothie. The taste is minimal and it mixes well.
-
This item I do believe is as good as it gets. It unflavored and need to be mixed with juice. But the value is there. I have seen the other proteins out there and will stick with this one
-
As being a vegan weight trainer, this pea protein is a great supplement when trying to get away from a soy based protein. Excellent for protein shakes, 28g a serving, gotta love it. But I don't recomend having this on its own with no additional flavor.
-
Love this protein! Not much flavor, but it doesn't taste good alone. I mix it with other flavored protein powders, and with my quinoa in the morning to add extra protein. I like that there is hardly any carbs and lots of protein. Seems to help me have much more energy to have that added protein! I also blend it up for my husband with fresh veggie juice from our juicer
-
I always try every product without adding flavoring first. While I'm sure this is a fine Now product, it is as close to the taste of dessicated cardboard you will every experience. Add a banana...ANYthing...and if you add it to your oatmeal without flavoring (like I did), you will never do it again!
-
Not the tastiest thing in the world, but I would order it again. Great protein source.
-
-
My favorite protein powder! I use it for smoothies & baking.
-
Kinf od has a weird after-taste that needs to me mixed with other protein powders in a drink. Might be better in soup or savory applications.
-
Great protein, but tastes nasty. It tastes like bitter oatmeal with the consistency of chalk. I tried mixing it with my other protein powders and it ruined the taste of the protein shake. I am going to try adding it to a large batch of pasta sauce or chili so that I can use it up without severely altering taste.
-
I wish I had read the other reviews, the taste is disgusting, I will try adding vanilla or something, but will be sending most of it back except the one I already opened. Tastes like pea flavored chalk, disgusting!!!
-
Good price for the amount of product . I like that the product is an allergy free (no soy, no dairy, no gluten) product. Tip: you definitely need to mix the powder with a flavored drink (like a berry smoothie) because it doesn't taste too hot when mixed with a plain liquid (water, coconut milk etc.). Thanks for giving me a vegan, soy-free source of protein!
-
Great price, excellent taste.
-
The taste is a little off putting at first, but I got used to it.
-
The taste is just aweful by itself, one that you certainly have to get used to. I add a ton of cinnamon, almond butter, frozen berries, coconut milk. After doing that, it is not so bad. I was hesitent to get a pea protein pwder with sugar/alternative because I do not like the sweet tase but I sometimes add a bit of Xylitol as well. I have gotten used to the taste of it.
-
The pea protein tastes terrible by itself but is great for making protein bars or protein snacks (what I ordered it for)
-
Mild-tasting, easily mixes into other food items, delicious...just wondering if NOW will ever produce an organic pea protein product.
-
I really thought this would taste better. Will get it down.
-
The best part about this product is its lack of sweetness, which gives it much greater versatility than most protein powders. I use it twice daily in smoothies for a boost of plant based protein. It mixes great with water and has a great deal of protein by volume.
-
I expected this to have a raw pea taste which it does. But is actually quite good especially if added to something hot. And it makes a great thickener for soups and sauces!
-
Helps to keep me from having shakes fro hypoglycemia.
-
Great product! No bloating like I had with whey products. Fills me up. You do have to blend well & flavour it!
Definitely recommend!
-
Very Much enjoy adding to my fruit smoothies ~ no taste and blends well.
-
This has all, but one of the acids needed to maintain a healthy body. I like that I can have it with any fruit and/or vegetable or any kind of juice and it tastes fine.
-
I mix this with chocolate superfood powder, almond milk, water, shredded coconut, flax seeds and a little stevia. Easy to digest. Some people say they don't like the texture or taste of pea protein, but I don't even know what it tastes like since I add lots of other ingredients to it. Good if you don't like super sweet stuff and don't mind adding your own sweetener. I will buy again.
-
is a good product was deliverd in a timely manor was great in all my smothies and resapies
-
I like this. It gives everything a gritty texture and a bit of a nasty flavor, but you get used to it after a while. I kind of enjoy the nasty taste now. Lucky vitamin has been fantastic to work with.
-
Love this stuff! Mixes smooth.
-
Mixes well with any liquid. No funny after taste.
-
4th batch of this stuff. First 3 were great. This batch is verrrry different. Different taste, texture, very sticky. Almost like moisture got in this batch.
-
First experience with this kind of protein. Mixes well in a blender but not when using a spoon or fork.
-
I had been searching for a slower release sugar free protein powder for some time when I was made aware of pea powder. An internet search turned up this one on your site, and it has really delivered. I had recently given up meat in my diet and was needing something to boost my protein intake. A perfect fit with no unpleasant aftertaste. Thanks, LUCKY Vitamin!
-
I'm lactose intolerant so I needed a protein powder that provided me with a good amount of protein isolate and other BCAAs. After much research, I decided that Pea Protein was best, and also a better way to get more veggies in my diet. I use a scoop of this in addition to scoop of organic brown rice protein for a complete protein profile. On heavy lifting days I have one "shake" in the AM mixed with just Almond Milk, and post workout I have another shake with Almond milk and mixed fruit. I find that bananas, avocados, strawberries, peanut butter and mangoes mask the sweet pea after taste best. The taste takes some getting used to, but no worse than any whey product out there. I've recently started adding a dash of cinnamon as well. The powder is super fine so it mixes well and goes down smoothly.
-
Excellent product. Best form of protein I have used so far. Much easier to digest. Had to get used to the flavor.
-
This really work it been controlling my hunger. I just order some more to restock. I know there have been back order that why i order more. Thanks
