Epic Protein : Vanilla Lucuma

Got this product to replace another brand that coagulated together in a huge mass. This makes a smooth smoothie, which is delicious. Something I wanted to mention is that this is already sweetened. I usually add my own sweetener to my smoothies. The good thing is that it’s sweetened with stevia, which is a great natural sugar alternative that works for me. Anything manipulated chemically gives me a giant headache, even if it starts out with natural ingredients. Stevia remains stevia, so I can handle it, but the taste/sweetness seems stronger to me than sugar, or the honey I usually put in my smoothies. Stevia can have a minty aftertaste, but this product does not. Per serving, which is 2 scoops (scoop comes inside the package), the protein powder has 13 g carbs, 3 of which are fiber. That’s a pretty low amount. The smoothies I’ve made with this product are initially a little too sweet for me personally, but they’re so delicious otherwise that I’ve found ways to make them less sweet. In some cases, like a mango smoothie, I’ve added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Today, I made a banana smoothie using the protein powder, 8 oz flax seed milk, a little pineapple aloe water, 4 ice cubes, a banana, and nutmeg. My stomach was bothering me (reasons unrelated to this product) and the smoothie was too sweet, so I added a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Still sweet, but close to just right and quite tasty. The consistency is very creamy and there isn’t a lot of residue on my glass as compared to other protein powders. The information on the back of the product says the entire package equals 12 servings, but I use 1-1/2 scoops - less than the company suggests - to reduce the sweetness. It still tastes great and gives me an amount of protein I’m happy with. Since 2 scoops equals 20 grams, 1-1/2 would be about 15 grams of protein. My purchase will also go a little farther using 1-1/2 scoops. I plan on buying this again when the bag is finished. Even though I usually add my own sweetener, since stevia works for me and this doesn’t have an aftertaste, this works for my needs. I drink a lot of smoothies because I eat a vegetarian diet and am often low on protein, so I need a protein powder that’s healthy and tastes great. This one does that. Happy customer.

I am super sensitive to all things dairy, including whey protein. So I am always on the hunt for a new, plant-based option for smoothies and shakes. The earlier iterations of this kind of product were gritty and grainy, and they never used to mix well at all - some still don't. But this one is awesome! It is vegan, made with pea protein, some seeds, prebiotics, and a proprietary vanilla flavoring made from fruits and veggies. it dissolves really well, and is not at all gritty or sludgy. It's also organic and grain-free, which I appreciate, and it tastes really good! No "fake" aftertaste of any kind. Yes, it is a little pricier than other bigger-name brands, but I think it has better quality ingredients and nutrients, and it has never given me any stomach issues.

I’ve been using Epic Protein for the first time and I’m really impressed. The Vanilla Lucuma flavor is delicious without being overly sweet, and it mixes really well in smoothies or shakes. I love that it’s made with organic plant-based ingredients and provides a good amount of protein and fiber. It’s a great option for anyone looking to increase their daily protein intake while keeping the ingredients clean and simple.

This stuff is surprisingly good. It does not taste like vanilla, but it has a unique flavor from the cinnamon and other spices that make it very good for a protein powder. I’m giving 4 stars because the texture is a bit grainy when blended with frozen fruit and the spices didn’t pair the greatest with the tropical fruit blend I used. This tastes GREAT with matcha powder, however. The recipe I like is 1 scoop (half serving) protein powder, 1 serving matcha, and 1/2 cup almond milk.

If you enjoy a clean and simple protein powder for smoothies, or other power food creations, this is certainly worth a try! I love this stuff, and I really appreciate the simple/minimal ingredient list, and the fact that it doesn't taste like it contains anything artificial - or even "natural flavor" - because it doesn't have any of that nonsense! For me, this is a preferred "go-to" plant based smoothie powder.

I’ve been really enjoying Sprout Living Epic Protein Plant Based Protein & Superfoods. The ingredients are super clean with no artificial flavors or weird aftertaste, which is hard to find in plant protein powders. It blends smoothly into smoothies and shakes, and the texture is much better than most vegan proteins I’ve tried. I also like that it includes superfoods and prebiotics, so it feels nourishing and easy on digestion. The Vanilla Lucuma and Chocolate Maca flavors are both delicious and naturally flavored without being overly sweet. Great option for anyone looking for a clean, organic, plant-based protein powder! 🌱

This has been a great alternative to my current whey powder after realizing my breastfed baby has dairy and soy allergy. I appreciate the protein content and clean ingredients. I’ve only used it to make smoothies and the taste works well with banana and peanut butter. Not sure how it would taste or blend with just water in a shake bottle but blends smoothly with my ninja. Easy to drink and doesn’t upset my stomach.

I really wanted this to work, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. The taste was very difficult to get past. I even tried holding my nose while drinking it. I also experimented with adding it to smoothies, hoping to mask the flavor, but it ended up affecting the taste there too. Wouldn't be my first choice, but taste is subjective so it may work better for others

I have never found a protein powder that checks all of the boxes for me and my body. I am soooo happy with this product. First, the ingredients I can actually pronounced and understand- huge! Second, it blends well both in a blender bottle and in my Vitamix. Lastly, the flavour, wow. The hint of vanilla and I think of oats? Or cinnamon? I don't know hut it's unreal good. I want to pair it with so many things now just to experiment. This is my blueberry basil and it was so good. Next a peach pecan would suit this flavour soooo well. I for sure would reccomend this brand and flavour after my first purchase.

This has become my favourite protein powder. Just wish it was available in larger quantities. Tastes great and a little different to others as it’s not just pea protein.

good taste and excellent ingredients

This tastes so yummy, it’s quite cinnamon-y and not too sweet. Goes great with yogurt and frozen berries! Also so lovely that it doesn’t include any artificial sweeteners and isn’t harsh on the gut

Too much cinnamon. It doesn’t mix well either. Waste of money.
