Sprout Living Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder Unflavored 20 Grams of Plant Based Protein Powder Without Artificial Sweeteners

Wow! I love the pumpkin seed unflavored powder. It’s basically like a pure pumpkin seed butter (think peanut butter, almond butter, etc) but DRIED! Pure protein, no whey or other fillers, fake flavors or colors, no sugar or oil. A single ingredient, vs the 20 that are in the old protein powders i used to use. Plus pumpkin seed has an amazingly high magnesium content, which is great for daily recovery. I don’t know what it would be like in only water. I consume it exclusively two ways: - 1 scoop with fresh fruit (1 halo orange, 4 strawberries, or something else comparable) and almond milk (or water if I’m out, it’s just for wetness). This is like a small sipper. Has smoothie thickness but not super cold and doesn’t make a lot. I do this when I already have a healthy breakfast planned but need a calorie/protein/fruit boost. OR - 2 scoops with a halo, fresh berries, greek yogurt, and frozen mango or frozen berries, plus any water or almond milk needed to keep the smoothie moving in the blender. This makes a big, filling, frosty cold, almost milkshakey consistency. I do this when it’s basically the meal, and I may add on something smaller to help me meet my macros (fruit, egg, toasts, etc). Either combo feels great for breakfast after my morning workout and it keeps me full until lunch. It’s definitely helping me meet my goals. It might be a little pricey, but you’re buying pure whole single ingredient. I actually wish it came in a larger bag. My husband and I go through a bag in 2-3 weeks. I’d love a larger size so I can buy less frequently. Read more

Best protein powder! I love that this is one ingredient. It tastes nutty so it easily adds to smoothies and granola bars. Very happy with it and will be a staple in our home. Read more

I just received my pumpkin seed protein powder. Amazing nutty flavor. I had a smoothie with power greens, apple, celery stick, carrot juice and 2 scoops of powder prior to my dog walk. It was delicious! Definitely recommend. According to my doctor I need to increase my protein intake. This will be easy with this product as I love the neutral flavor, no gritty residue and 20 grams of protein. Read more

Of the pea protein powders I've tried so far, this one is far and away my favorite. I really like its texture and slightly-sweet natural flavor. But I took off one star for the lame plastic pouch it came in. The two-pound size comes in a cylindrical paperboard canister with metal bottom and top rim, and a plastic lid. Aside from the plastic lid, it's all biodegradable. The metal is totally recyclable if you want to separate it for scrap. The size, shape, and rigidity make the container easy to work with. All in all, pretty thoughtful packaging. However, this review is for the five-pound size, which unfortunately comes in a plastic pouch with several annoying characteristics: - The zip lock seal on the pouch does not work. At all. I really tried, and could not get it to close even partially. I finally gave up, rolled it down, and secured it with a bag clip. - There is a powdery coating on the outside of the bag that gives it a slightly gritty texture to the touch. No idea what that could be from, or if it's intentional. - There is a faint, perfumey, synthetic fragrance on the outside of the bag. Why is that necessary? - The pouch is not recyclable or biodegradable at all. The label refers to it as an "environmentally-friendly pouch", "made with Post-Consumer Recycled material as part of our commitment to sustainability." In my view, there's nothing sustainable about this. They just slowed down some plastic on it's way into a landfill or the ocean. - The pouch is messy to work with. Some powder always seems to spill or escape while it's being scooped out. I found the pouch so impractical that I dumped half its contents into the paperboard canister I still had from my 2-pound purchase. Next time I'll buy the 2-pound container, even though it costs a little more per pound. It appears the 1-pound size also comes in a plastic pouch. I hope Sprout Living will go to paperboard canisters for all their sizes. If they applied themselves, they could surely think of a way to do away with the metal and plastic components as well. Remember how oats used to come in a 100% paperboard canister? We have the technology for this... Read more

I have a lot of food sensitivities, I can’t handle added sugars, dyes, etc. This protein is almost tasteless and has straight forward ingredients. Perfect to mix into smoothies or protein shakes. Read more

This is wonderful. I mix this with Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Sprouted Brown Rice Protein Powder so it becomes a complete protein. I don't want to purchase a protein powder with sugar or sugar substitutes. This and the rice create a wonderful complete protein powder. Taste is a bit chalky but honestly I'm not taking it for the taste. I need more protein so this works for me. It's helped my hair and nails grow fast and thick. Read more

I’m giving this 3 stars because of the misleading advertising. The photos provided show the product has 102 calories per serving, however, the product I received shows 140 calories per serving. I chose this protein powder because it’s vegan, simple ingredients, and due to its low calorie content. I’m counting calories but would like more protein and this is a bit excessive for only 20 grams of protein. The taste is palatable and the texture isn’t too bad. But be ware if you are calorie conscious like me , it’s actually 140 calories. Read more

Love this protein powder, it’s less processed and has minimal glyphosate and heavy metals. Plus I like the extra nutrition from pumpkin seeds that remain in the powder. I blend it into a fruit smoothie every day and it has no weird taste and doesn’t clump, but it does make the smoothie thicker than a regular pea protein. Read more
