GHOST Vegan Protein Powder, Banana Pancake Batter - 2lb, 20g of Protein - Plant-Based Pea & Organic Pumpkin Protein - ­Post Workout & Nutrition Shakes, Smoothies, & Baking - Soy & Gluten-Free

I haven't tried too many protein powders (America's obsession with "getting enough protein" is ludicrous... but I recently went vegan so I'm probably one who SHOULD be concerned), so I don't have much to compare/contrast this with. But as someone who drank Slim-Fast back in the 80s, I can say that this stuff is pretty close to what I remember Slim-Fast tasting like. Unlike others who have reviewed it, I don't find the texture gritty at all.The interesting feature of this that I wasn't expecting is how FULL it makes you feel. A 120 calorie shake and a 200 calorie fig bar at 6:30 AM leaves me still feeling satiated at 11:30 a.m. I didn't start drinking these to lose weight, but I do seem to be getting that effect.I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors. The Cinnabon flavor is on its way to me now.

Honestly it does have a gritty texture but it’s seriously not bad I had peanut butter cereal milk it’s filling using it as like a meal replacement I workout and snack a lot

THER BEST VEGAN PROTEIN I HAVE EVER HAD EITHER MY DIET RESTRICTIONS!!

I’m really disappointed with this protein powder. I was really hopeful because it seemed like a legit brand. The taste of the Cinnabon Vegan Protein powder is so artificial and doesn’t taste like cinnamon buns. It has a very unfortunate slightly cinnamon “mildew” type taste (that’s the best way I can describe it) so it’s not even an aftertaste it’s just hard to swallow from start to finish. And the powder is grainy because there were harder bits in the mix to start with. I even mixed it with banana to see if that would help and it did not. The worst part is, it repeated on me for hours after I had a smoothie. It was bad enough to taste it once but to have to keep tasting it hours later is a big “no thank you.” I try to mix up my protein powders so my go-to brands are Anthony’s Pea Protein (plain for baking, low carb, no sugar, high protein and great for macro counting), Falcon Performance Sport (the black container - it’s got added aminos and creatine, vanilla flavor for shakes and smoothies), and most recently Beam- Be Amazing Vegan Protein (the maple brown sugar oatmeal one- great for smoothies or “dessert” treats). I was hoping I could add the Ghost Cinnabon into the mix, but I’m going to have to fight my way through this container. It’s way too expensive to get rid of and I definitely feel like it should be better quality for the price. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this for fellow vegan athletes. I’ll try to see if I can bake it into protein muffins or something but- oof. Sorry guys.

Texture is very grainy. But is smells and tastes great.

I have loved what ghost brings to the table for the most part. I love a lot of their electrolyte beverages, and the variety that comes with those. I enjoy the fact that you can find pretty much anything ghost brand that tastes delicious. However, the protein in this is very high but that comes with a caveat. The texture of this is very gritty. Also, there is a little bit of a rancid aftertaste which kind of threw me off. I added some cloves to this just a few sprinkles of that and it kind of masked that weird rancid kind of flavor. I have never had something from ghosts that I didn't like except maybe this? I don't hate it, but I don't necessarily like it. I'll be able to drink the rest of it, but I don't think I would purchase it again. This is kind of sad but it is what it is. It doesn't take too long to get mixed up, and the price was reasonable, but I think overall quality was so so. I just shaker bottle to get this mixed up and for the most part it mixed in just fine. I have found that sticking with milk alternatives it loses a little bit of that gritty texture, but if you're in this mostly for the protein, mixing it with fairlife milk or something like that generally increases the protein.

I have bought a few different flavors over the years and have to say that pancake batter is AMAZING! I can't even describe how delicious it is! I mostly add it to oats or make pancakes with it (literally just the protein powder, flour, baking powder, liquid of choice.. SO GOOD). I also like it mixed with ripple milk and added to coffee. It's very high quality, The cereal milk flavor is also very good but pancake batter is just something special lol. It tastes amazing and very worth it!

This product tastes great and does the job.
