NAKED Chocolate Pea Protein Isolate from North American Farms, Only 3 Ingredients, Chocolate Vegan Protein, Gluten-Free, Soy Free, GMO Free - 2LB

I use protein powder in the following recipe to flavor vegetables.Tasty Low Sodium & Low Carbohydrate Recipe for Weight Reduction & Weight MaintenanceThis recipe uses many spices used in Persian cuisine as there is only so much you can do with low carbohydrate vegetables as far as flavor is concerned. Ancient Persia plays a tremendously fascinating role in providing thousands of years of flavoring expertise to make low carbohydrate vegetables more palatable and appealing.First, add two cups of water to a microwaveable ceramic bowl with a glass lid. Add in 4 heaping tablespoons of kosher organic fenugreek seeds along with 2 tablespoons each of kosher, organic powdered ginger as well as turmeric. Add in 1 tablespoon kosher olive oil as well as 1/2 tablespoon of kosher ground pepper. Place lid on microwaveable bowl & microwave for 4 minutes. Let sit for 1 hour until fenugreek seeds soften. Once cooled, transfer fenugreek seed flavoring sauce to a Tupperware container & refrigerate.Wash 3 pounds of organic broccoli thoroughly and inspect for bugs. Place 3 pounds of minced broccoli in an air fryer basket, spray lightly with kosher olive oil and air fry at 350 degrees for 4 1/2 minutes to 5 minutes. Allow to air cool. Once air cooled, place cooked broccoli in a plastic Tupperware container and refrigerate.If you don’t own an air fryer, simply place 3 pounds of broccoli in a large pot & add two cups water to pot. Place lid on pot and steam while stirring until broccoli is lightly cooked. Use a colander to drain water from broccoli.Wash 2 pounds of mushrooms & thoroughly inspect for bugs. Mince. Place 2 pounds of minced mushroom in an air fryer basket, spray lightly with kosher olive oil and air fry at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Allow to air cool. Once air cooled, place mushrooms in a plastic Tupperware container and refrigerate. If you don’t own an air fryer, simply place mushrooms in large frying pan and sautee with olive oil until water has evaporated to a thick sauce.Next, peel 3 extra large rinsed & chilled avocados. Finely mince avocado flesh and place in a large Tupperware container & store in refrigerator.The last step is to use a large pot to mix all the ingredients. In a large pot, add the chilled avocados, chilled cooked broccoli, cooked, chilled mushrooms as well as turmeric & ginger seasoned fenugreek seed sauce. To the pot add 6 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of organic, kosher pea protein powder. Finally to the pot add 1/4 cup organic apple cider vinegar & 1/4 cup organic lemon juice.Stir the pot contents with a large spoon and transfer contents of pot to 4 or 5 Tupperware containers for refrigeration until ready to serve a meal.Now, for a nutritious low carbohydrate breakfast, fill a ceramic microwaveable cereal bowl with pre-prepared & flavored low carbohydrate vegetables and microwave for 4 minutes. Transfer the hot vegetable dish to a much larger bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of kosher, organic psyllium whole husk powder for added fiber to help provide a feeling of satiety throughout the day. Once the whole husk psyllium powder is mixed into the vegetable dish, the vegetable breakfast bowl needs to be consumed within 8 to 10 minutes as psyllium very quickly absorbs water and becomes almost totally unpalatable if left to sit idle and is not eaten almost immediately after mixing in psyllium.Enjoy vegetable bowl with organic, kosher salsa and organic, kosher sauerkraut to taste. This vegetable bowl should be eaten with perhaps 1 ounce of kosher lamb or tofu for added protein as excessive eggs are known to cause diabetes & overall mortality risk.This breakfast meal works best for weight management if it is the last & only meal of the day. The added whole husk psyllium powder acts as an appetite suppressant, & the low carbohydrate vegetable meal prevents an upsurge of insulin that inhibits lipolysis. Furthermore, restricting meals to one per day further inhibits insulin which prevents lipolysis. Lipolysis means burning fat for energy in biological organisms.Note that the critical ingredient & step is adding in psyllium whole husk powder as psyllium whole husk powder creates a sensation of satiety through the entire day & allows one to skip both lunch as well as dinner as well as in-between snacks. Weight loss and weight maintenance is far too difficult without psyllium whole husk powder without the added satiety effect.Within one to four hours after breakfast, the following beverages may be consumed as they act as appetite suppressants.Beverage A: add two shots of organic espresso to 12 ounces organic almond milk & add stevia to taste. Makes a keto latte.Beverage B: Add one tablespoon organic lemon juice plus one tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar to a 16 ounce glass of water and add liquid stevia to taste. Add ice cubes to chill the drink.Beverage C: black coffeeYou should see immediate weight loss results if you’re also adding in a sufficient amount of exercise per day. Remember, no pain, no gain.I typically lose 1/3 pound per day with a 45 minute bicycle ride right after breakfast. I still get very mild hunger pains consisting of stomach grumbling around 5-7 pm, but I typically sip on apple cider & lemon juice flavored stevia sweetened water to make very minor hunger pains go away.I still have a sweet tooth to satisfy after breakfast, so I eat a few slices of stevia sweetened organic almond flour chocolate cake along with almond butter & stevia sweetened chia seed pudding for desert.Ingredients for keto low carb chocolate cake Recipe:3 eggs1 1/2 cups organic almond flour1/2 cup organic almond milk2 tablespoons psyllium whole husk powder -organic1/4 cup organic walnutsStevia to taste2 1/2 teaspoons baking powderBake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes & allow to cool in oven for 30 minutesRecipe for Keto low carb Chia seed pudding:1/2 cup organic chia seed1/2 cup organic cacao powderStevia to taste2 cups hot organic almond milkFirst heat 2 cups almond milk & then stir in other ingredients & chill in refrigerator when cooled.The key ingredient for the vegetable stir fry is psyllium whole husk fiber as psyllium greatly slows down the absorption of the meal so the meal lasts an entire 24 hours without major hunger pains even when exercise is added in.Sent from my iPhoneSent from my iPhoneSent from my iPhoneSent from my iPhone

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I read on google that pea protein was good for baking instead of whey protein that dries out baked goods. Google was right. This product just made the most delicious protein muffins ever! They are soft and moist inside. Effectiveness:Very effective for baking and protein shakes. Haven’t tried anything else yet but can’t wait too. Value for money:Quality over quantity is a must here. Does it cost a bit yes. Is it worth it? Yes! This product will always be on my shelf as a bariactric patient. I have yet to try it by itself as a shake but I’m definitely willing to try that. Baking by far has my amazing interest. Protein muffin picture included!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted to try something that was overly simplistic and see if it messed up my gut or not. I tried the Naked Pea and it was THE worst thing I've ever put in my body! Like drinking grass and chalk. I even put a banana in there to make it taste better but it was terrible. I think pea protein powders are hard enough to make taste good without a bunch of additives so this really didn't have much of a hope. Maybe if you mix this into food and don't drink as a shake it would be bearable.On the flip however, I tried the Naked Whey protein (chocolate) and it was much better and it didn't even mess up my stomach so I recommend that. It's bland (not overly sugary) but good if you mix with peanut butter powder and a banana.

I am super into having straight forward products for my body that don’t try to hide anything.I have been drinking these shakes for almost two years now and they are still by far my favorite. All protein and none of the bs. Super easy to digest and mixes well with a number of liquids of your choice. Almond milk or water are my go to and they both work great.I’m also a runner so I need products that flow easy through the stomach before my early morning sessions sometimes. Works excellent on that front as well!

I’ve been buying the unflavored pea protein for several years. The macros and price cannot be beat. This is the CHEAPEST protein based on $ to grams of protein. It’s also the CLEANEST protein powder you can buy. I clearly don’t buy it for flavor but I wouldn’t drink it straight with just water or milk. I mix it into fruit smoothies and a little yogurt really makes it great. I’ve also mixed it with ice, cream and coffee for breakfast (a delicious protein rich frozen coffee drink). It has never upset my stomach. It mixes well when blended right away.

Tried this product, as many other protein supplements out there are hard on the digestion. Even the supoosedly natural plant based ones have little surprises. Happy to say, this is excellent so far! Feel like I finally have a winner. Flavor ... as advertised, it's up to you what you might want to mix it with in terms of enhancing flavor. Since I didn't buy this for flavor, and it goes down nicely, perfectly fine for me.
