The Secret to Making Unflavoured Pea Protein Taste Amazing (3 Delicious Recipes)
You know Cutetonic Organic Pea Protein is amazing for your muscles and keeps you full for hours. But let’s address the elephant in the room: what does unflavoured pea protein actually taste like?
On its own mixed just with water, it has a distinct, slightly earthy taste and a thicker texture than whey.
Some brands cover this up with bucketloads of artificial sweeteners and synthetic flavourings. We don’t. Our pea protein is 100% pure.
Because it is unflavoured, it is a blank canvas. The secret to enjoying it is knowing how to blend it with strong, complementary flavours that turn that earthiness into a rich, delicious shake.
Here are three fail-safe recipes to make your pea protein taste incredible.
-
