   Salred caramel tasted great. Me, my family, and friends all had amit and had no issues. I think if you haven’t had any dairy in a long while like many vegans, then having dairy could be the reason some people are having an upset stomach, but no one i know who tried it had any issues.
   I just wish they had bigger sizes.

   Purchased the Decadent Brownie “vegan” protein and while I was sipping it down I realized…this is not a vegan product. Yes, it uses another non-animal whey but then has and allergen label for milk. So…..not vegan
   Tastes good, but after reading reviews of GI distress I’m a bit concerned.
   I’m vegetarian and have been on the search for a good vegan protein for 10 years now 🙁

   This stuff is revolutionary as a vegan, amazing creamy whey flavour, but the sucralose needs to be dialed way back. Personally, I would like an unsweetened version in larger quantities (why doesn’t this exist?). No problems with sickness like some commenters, and this is the first vegan protein my GF with IBS has 0 digestive problems with. We want more… but fix it up a bit!

   When I saw this offering, I was happily surprised and immediately intrigued. I am a big supporter of efforts to create more viable and digestible low-impact proteins, but as one with a very particular and somewhat unpredictable gut, a lot of plant-based options give me lots of trouble. Lots — and protein supplements are no exception, but I do find them a more tolerable and very convenient way to meet my protein goals. Dairy is also way out of the question for me, so I’ve been on the hunt for a vegan protein powder with as minimal noticeable impact on my digestion as possible. I can’t do soy, so pea protein/pea protein blends have been my go-to, but it’s hard to find one that’s accessible and has a good amino-acid profile + no other stomach irritants. I’ve been researching precision fermentation for some time, excited about the potential for more digestible animal-free proteins, and this is the first time I’ve actually encountered a resultant product on the market. I was VERY excited and had to buy it at least for science’s sake. I’ve been using it everyday since its arrival, sometimes twice a day (chocolate brownie flavor), and I’m thrilled to say I’ve tolerated it better than any protein powder I’ve ever tried! Which is shocking, because I was looking at reviews today and found many had the opposite experience, but everyone’s gut is unique so take this with a grain of salt! The flavor could be better, and in general I tend to think stevia is the optimal zero-calorie sweetener (just in terms of the information regarding health implications when compared to other artificial sweeteners), but I’ll take it any day of the week for its macros, protein quality, and most importantly, lesser impact on both the environment/animals AND my gut. I can’t say it’ll work for you, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

   As a longtime vegan I was really excited to try this animal-free whey protein. I really liked the texture! Very creamy and dissolved well when I mixed it with soy milk. It didn’t have that grainy or chalky texture that the pea protein brand I usually use has. I also like the protein content.
   Only issue is the artificial sweetness was really strong for my taste. I wish they would make an unflavored option or tone down the sweetness. Otherwise would have gave 5 stars.

   I tried this twice. Once, as is and the other trying to mask the flavor. To me, the flavor was too artificial tasting and chemical. I gave it a shot, but it ended up in the trash.

   I got the mint one and its nowhere near minty. Awful. Got sick from the churro one so never opened these again

   I tried the salted carmel. I am not sure if it is the artificial flavoring or the sweetner, but it was not for me. I tried it once “as is” and once with other flavoring to try and mask it. I could not finish either. Since it had set in my pantry for a while after purchase, I just dumped the container.

   As someone who hasn’t had whey protein in 5 years I was blown away by the taste and solubility (compared to plant proteins). Other reviews made me a bit nervous but I had no digestive issues.

    Love this protein. The sucralose does make it pretty sweet compared to some other protein powder but it mixes great in everything. To the people complaining it made them violently ill and it should be taken off the market, maybe don’t buy it again. You clearly have a food allergy. Or I guess we should just take all foods off the market one person has gotten sick off of or died from. Be for real. It’s a great protein option that is cruelty free. I’ve tried all the animals free wheys that have been on the market and this one has been my favorite
