OWYN Only What You Need Plant-Based Protein Powder, Smooth Vanilla, 1.05 lbs

I can’t say enough good things about this protein powder! It checks all the boxes: no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors, soy-free, and sugar-free—just clean ingredients that I feel good about putting into my body.The taste is absolutely fantastic, which is rare for a protein powder with such a clean ingredient profile. It’s rich and satisfying without any weird aftertaste, making it a treat to enjoy every day. I love mixing it with almond milk for a creamy shake, but it also blends perfectly into smoothies, oatmeal, or even baking recipes.What sets it apart is how filling it is. Whether I use it for a post-workout snack or as a quick meal replacement, it keeps me full and energized without any bloating or crashes.If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes amazing, is packed with clean ingredients, and truly delivers on quality, this is the one to try. I’m officially hooked!

IMO, best plant based powder. No added sweetener or sugar is a huge plus. It does not mix very well with straight water and doesnt have the best taste with water. However, I exclusively use it for protein smoothies. With a nutribullet to really blend it, it gives a fantastic chocolate flavor when mixed with PB, yogurt, fruit, etc. All in all, you'll love it if you're making a shake/smoothie. Highly recommend.

I bought this because it was a much healthier choice. After reviewing several brand’s ingredient labels, this one seemed to have the fewest chemicals, high (enough) protein, and cost effective per serving. However, the flavor is alright, not great. It’s also a bit grainy. Lastly it foams a lot if you shake or blend it, which seems wasteful if you want to consume every drop.

I intended this as a simple question, not as a review. But my question did not seem to fit within the the character limit permitted for Q&A. So I have expanded it for greater clarity (after wasting time to try and make it “short enough” as a question in the Q&A)…Few seem to be aware that there are 2 versions of this product on this web page - “CHOCOLATE” and “DARK CHOCOLATE.” Those who have noticed and asked? They don’t get a good enough answer - they don’t cover what I wanted to know, anyway.To see what I mean, please scroll up and click on the 2 sizes for this product (1.1 Pound and 2.4 Pound). You’ll get two different “labels”…The 1.1 Pound is “DARK CHOCOLATE”) while the 2.4 is “CHOCOLATE.” That may sound like a small thing to many, but “dark chocolate” is different from “regular” chocolate. Also, clicking on the 1.1 Pound size causes the description to change - it uses the word “dark” several more times.So there IS a deliberate difference, at least for as long as the company chooses to communicate the merits of these 2 sizes differently, looking like 2 different products. Up to now, I did not care because the taste was always great - a rich, real “dark chocolate.”Recently, though, I received my latest (7th) shipment from Amazon. I noticed something different. The next part is from memory because I don’t have the previous contained to compare wording…The word “dark chocolate” does not appear anywhere on the new packaging - not even “chocolate.” It may have appeared on the wrapping that I tore away from the cap, I don’t know (threw it out, too). But it does not appear anywhere else.Also, when I read the rest of the package, the language seems more clinical in places, although that may just be my bias wondering what happened to the proud use of the world “dark chocolate.”Anyway, all this only REALLY mattered when I tasted the latest shipment. GONE is that rich dark chocolate taste that I loved so much.That taste was so wonderfuil that it helped me understand how some pro athletes say, “I can’t believe they pay me to play this game.” Well, I couldn’t believe that this rich chocolate taste was actually good for me!What about this new taste?😖😫🥲And those are the kinder emojis. It was bitter, metallic, chemical. I was thrown all the way back to the competitors that I had tried previously.If I’m getting this taste because this how the “chocolate” version is supposed to taste (i.e., it is not the “dark chocolate”), well, they need to communicate that more clearly.On the other hand, if they have changed the formulation, we have a bigger problem.Am I alone in this? I can see that a few others have noticed the difference (between the 1.1 and 2.4 Pound sizes). It has never been well explained, so if anyone can add to this, I’m sure many would appreciate it.But now there may be a bigger issue - what happened to my rich dark chocolate taste? Am I alone in that, too? Just a bad batch?I have to give this 1* for now because this “review” (for lack of being able to ask a question) comes from the bad taste, which is present for whatever “version” I received.

Great additive to coffee!Does it curb my appetite? No, but it adds flavor to my coffee and I drink it after a long distance run.My bones don’t ache, no injuries so maybe this product works?The powder probably dissolves better blended. It just sits at the bottom of my coffee cup. I give my cup a little swirl towards the end, and that mixed it well with the liquid!I’ve been using this protein powder since 2016/17 I believe; but I’ve never had an issue with it.

While it has beneficial ingredients like plant based protein and probiotics, the taste is hard for me to appreciate. It's chalky and the sweetener is too strong and chemical tasting. Mixes thin.

My favorite plant based protein! I use this on the regular and just mix it with almond milk and mixes great! Great flavor and not chalky like some other plant proteins.

First, I like the overall taste and benefits of this protein powder. The ONLY thing I dislike is the packaging vs product ratio. The container that holds the product is not a good ratio whatsoever of the product inside said container. Unless there is a “Specific” reason I am unaware of, like shelf life, or freshness, this can be a misleading practice, and quite frankly leaves one feeling “duped”I would rather a smaller packaging that has a proper ratio of product, than a huge container with not such a good amount. I compare it to buying a big bag of chips, only to discover it’s mostly air. I will not be purchasing this product again because of this very reason. There are other protein brands I have purchased in the past and most of them have a better ratio comparison so I’m left confused if this is standard practice, or the act of trying to deceive. Even if this is “standard practice” I as a brand would 100% invest in other means of packaging to ensure the consumer didn’t feel deceived, and to stand out from the competition. This is upsetting for me because I really enjoyed this product, but cannot in good conscience support any brand I feel engages in deceptive practices. Again, If my assessment is wrong then I genuinely apologize, but I cannot understand why anyone would package a product that fills on a little bit more than the size of the container…
