Protein Works | Vegan Protein 360 - Gold Innovation, Chocolate Silk, 16 Servings, 100% Plant Based & Natural, Premium Multi-Protein Blend, Low Fat Shake, Low Calorie Shake, 500g

I bought this as had previously bought cartons from another brand to supplement my calorie intake as I am mainly on a liquid diet and very soft food for post major double jaw surgery. The cartons are quite expensive so was looking for a cheaper alternative and came across this. A lot of reviews said that the "choc silk" was the best flavour so decided to try it. It has not disappointed so far and the fact that its vegan (I need dairy free) but tastes so chocolatey and creamy, I was pleasantly surprised. It does say it has a grainy texture but I hardly noticed it and it doesn't overpower the taste so if that is what's stopping you buy it, don't let it put you off. It also comes with a scoop, I use about half a scoop and mix it with oat milk and it's so yummy, it is quite sweet though, it tastes like you're actually having a chocolate milkshake!

The best tasting protein powder imo. Repeat purchase for me.

The first bag I bought of this was a lovely chocolate flavour and didn't have added thickeners like xanthan gum or added vitamins, which attracted me to the product in the first place as I wanted minimal ingredients while reluctantly accepting it included sucrose. The pack also matched the list of ingredients with the Amazon listing; Protein blend (SOY protein isolate, pea protein isolate, pumpkin seed protein, sunflower protein, brown rice protein), fat-reduced cocoa powder, flavouring, sweetener (sucralose), DigeZyme (amylase, protease, cellulase, beta D galactosidase, lipase) Unfortunately naively when I received my next pack I didn't check the ingredients list until is was too late and I'd opened it. It now not only doesn't taste as much of chocolate anymore, and in my view tastes awful, it also now contains unwanted thickeners and vitamins.

The chocolate tastes pretty good and is fine mixed with water. 2 scoops plus 500ml keeps me full and fuelled for ~4 hours with only 250 kcal (made up like this it's like the Huel ready-to-drink thickness). Replaced 2 meals a day and lost 2lbs in one week (I'm not usually a dieter, but some medication I've been taking is stretching my jeans!) It is a bit grainy, but not too lumpy. I imagine the texture is part of what keeps your stomach feeling sated tbf! The vanilla is grim with just water and has a strange aftertaste, but I've been mixing one scoop with half water + half oat milk, a banana and some peanut butter and its really delicious, thick and filling - and tastes very pudding-y! I've been having this in the evening and it staves off my late night hunger pangs. I've found the protein boost has reduced my sugar cravings too. Have re-ordered some different flavours to try. Realistically there is half the number of portions they say on the packet, if you're using it for a whole meal replacement (rather than boosting your smoothie). Tried one scoop and it just wasn't satisfying enough. Still think it is good value for money though at about a quid a meal.

This is my first ever protein shake and I am very pleased with it. I bought this for just over £11.00 on Amazon (BARGAIN!!!) Low in fat and sugar and packing more than 25g of protein per serving. Also love the fact this contains a very good blend of protein, i.e. Soya Protein, White Hemp Protein, Sunflower Protein, Pea Protein, Brown Rice Protein. I was worried about the powder not mixing well and leaving lumps. From my experience so far it all depends on what type of shaker you have. At first, I used my smoothie maker container to shake the powder in water and it did left a few lumps. But then I bought a proper protein shaker from my local Tescos (MaxiMuscle 700 ml shaker) for £3.50. This container comes with a mesh so as you shake your protein in water, it actually leaves no lumps at all!! Another tip is to add water first in your protein shaker then add the protein powder then mix it quickly - this avoids the powder sticking on the bottom of the shaker. This also gives a nice smooth texture. The Chocolate Silk taste is not too bad - it does have a slight chocolate flavour to it. As this is a protein powder and I take it for muscle mass I wasn't expecting a super taste anyways. For people who want an extra tasty protein shake, you can add a few drops of Vanilla essence or milk or sweetened non-dairy milk. Almond Milk tastes great with this protein powder. Another way to make it tastier is to make it as a proper smoothie - with banana, berries etc. I really don't have any cons therefore 5 stars! I will definitely buy this product again!

The taste is something to get used to as it’s not as palatable as Whey protein as a result I have switched back to Whey. The ingredients are all healthy and nothing artificial but not something for everyone. The powder is very light and dusty like chocolate powder. Comes in a decent packaging and is priced competitively for a 1kg pack.

I switched from whey to vegan powder due to acne outburst. Ordered both the choc silk and unflavoured. Choc silk I take as a protein drink. No complaints at all. Mixes well. Easy on the stomach. Good taste. Slightly grainy texture but in a drink I don't mind it. Highly recommended. The unflavoured is a bit more challenging. I use this in my morning oats. The grainy texture is more apparent. Maybe due to the lower liquid content compared to taking as a drink. But I wouldn't want to take the unflavoured as a drink. For me it's an ingredient amongst many and any earthy flavour is masked. But in morning oats, the texture is a struggle. Haven't tried in other recipes yet (flapjacks etc). Maybe that's where it is best used. In short, for a drink, the flavoured products are good and I will buy again. Haven't found a use for the unflavoured yet.

Gorgeous. Can’t usually stomach shakes on their own but this is lovely. I use Almond milk with mine and goes down a treat ♥️
