Whole food protein combinations mean athletes would need to consume plates of vegetables and legumes to equal the amount of protein necessary to meet daily requirements – equating to an excess of carbohydrates and roughage. Gas, bloating, lengthy digestion times and caloric excess may compromise performance and body composition goals.

MRM VEGGIE ELITE: PLANT-BASED PROTEIN POWDER

Despite old stereotypes that athletes cannot adequately perform and compete while eating a plant-based diet, MRM Veggie Elite offers a true alternative to whey protein powders and enables both vegans and vegetarians to perform at their highest ability. MRM Veggie Elite contains high-quality, raw pea and brown rice proteins that offer higher digestibility, absorption and retention that’s achieved from whole food fruit and vegetable combinations. Our balanced formula utilizes essential and nonessential amino acids – especially branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) – that aid performance, enhance maximum muscle growth and speed up exercise recovery.

MRM Veggie Elite delivers 24 grams of complete protein in each serving and eliminates the need for over-consumption of vegetables and other macronutrients to meet demanding daily protein requirements. Our unique formula contains Digest-All VP which is an enzyme blend that enhances protein digestion and ensures optimum nutrient absorption to aid fatigued muscles and shorten recovery time after exercise. Whether you’re looking to maintain or build muscle, or are wanting to add plant-based options – especially a meal replacement – to your diet, MRM Veggie Elite is a delicious alternative to milk-based whey and soy plant proteins, as our comprehensive formula delivers essential amino acids, proteins and nutrients.

Edit: I really do wonder if everyone that hates the flavor on here perhaps got a bad batch? Everyone I have given to in real life likes it a lot as well as I do. So it's really perplexing how many people claim to hate it so much here.

Omg. I need to come back and make an extensive review of this product because I recommend it to EVERYONE. I have tried so many products (I am a personal trainer) and have an extensive amount of knowledge about health and nutrition. Not only does this protein powder pass all my health requirements but it tastes super delicious!!! You HAVE to try it. In fact if you go to the seller's website you can get free samples by just paying shipping (I did that first and fully recommend it).

I swear, I don't work for them haha. I just really have fallen in love with their products and guiltlessly indulge on this protein powder. I don't even typically like coffe products persay neither but this is great.

So. I have Crohn's, which in a nutshell means that I have a hellofatime digesting nutrients (food). I'm also a vegetarian, and whey majorly upsets my stomach. I've tried ALL of the vegan protein powders out there, and MRM Veggie Elite wins hands down. BEST for price, macros, and taste. I go through about 2 (sometimes more) large size tubs of this a month (average 2-3 drinks a day). Most of the time I just shake with water or almond milk, and it's delicious. The Chocolate Mocha flavor is amazing! I generally buy vanilla though, because it's more versatile (I just add whatever spices/flavors I want. Also makes some amazing pancakes and cookies).
I typically workout about 3-4 times a week, and it's always my post workout go-to. My snack go-to, my pancake 'flour' go-to, my cookie 'flour' go-to, and not ONCE has it ever upset my stomach! Which is amazing when almost EVERYTHING does! Thank you MRM for making such a delicious and versatile, quality vegan product. You have a customer for life.
PS. I've been using MRM Veggie Elite for the last 4 years. No complaints.

I tried preparing this protein powder several different ways – blended with water, with soymilk, with almond-coconut milk, with lots of ice, letting it sit blended with double the amount of water in the refrigerator overnight to hopefully hydrate it…

Nothing I've done makes this powder even remotely edible/drinkable. It is like trying to drink sandy water, no matter what I do to it. It feels like scratchy, grating, hard, pasty, chalky particles scraping down your throat when you drink it, no matter how diluted it is.

I have IBD (ulcerative colitis) and found that trying to live off of whey based protein powder during a flareup was unsustainable, as it broke me out horribly, made my stomach ache and messed with my hormones. Also…cow milk is gross. So I tried the pre-mixed Vega+ and it was pretty good, not the best flavor but relatively palatable and pretty smooth. Plus it didn't make me break out and feel worse.

However, Vega+ is expensive (like most higher-end protein drinks whether vegan or whey), so I wanted to try an alternative to save some money. This powder is NOT it. I have to believe that the positive reviews for this powder are either fake, or these people have the weirdest, most tolerant palates on the planet and regularly chew on bentonite clay for fun. I love really hearty, rough, chewy, funky and bitter things like long-fermented sour whole grains, natto, kimchi, wood ear mushrooms, etc. but I absolutely cannot drink this horrible sand water!

This review is strictly based on taste. I'm about to complete my first year as a successful vegetarian (1 more month to go!). Although I feel perfectly fine, better than ever actually, I have started to think I should look into supplements to ensure that I'm getting everything I need. So I started to look into things like this protein shake. I've never had one of these before, so all I can really comment on is taste.

So how does it taste? Not bad….but not great either. I can tell that it's an acquired taste, so I'm guessing that I'll get used to it and then start saying “this taste pretty good”. Having had zero experience in these sorts of things, I can tell you that it tastes a bit chalky (for lack of a better word). Maybe i didn't use enough water? Not sure, I just eyeballed 8-12 oz of water. It might taste better warm even, like a hot chocolate type of thing. I'm going to have to experiment a bit, but honestly it does not taste bad at all. It's just kind of odd and will take a little getting used to.

If you're looking for a delicious protein made without strange chemicals or additives, this is it! I'm a huge cinnamon roll/cinnamon bun fan when it comes to flavors and this does not disappoint. If you're just mixing it with water, you'll get a less-homogenous texture than with a whey/casein blend but this stuff isn't made with crap. I use a scoop of this with some puffed wheat cereal and a splash of nut milk and it is so satisfying! I honestly think this protein is perfectly sweet, not too much that it tastes artificial and not too little so that it tastes gritty. Well-done MRM! You've just earned a return customer.

Review 6

I have celiac disease and I'm lactose intolerant. As a result, finding protein powders that work for me has been challenging. Unlike egg protein, this doesn't wreck havoc on my stomach. It also wasn't processed on equipment that handled dairy and wheat products, which is important for celiac. I appreciate the lack of soy, sugar alcohols, and sugars. I would recommend it to anyone who uses protein powder, not just those who have dietary limitations. The chocolate mocha tastes great and pairs really well with bananas and/or peanut butter. It also goes well with a coffee/almond milk mixture. I'm really glad I found this product and happier that it works for me.

Conclusion

Suitable for anyone – from athletes to those who follow strict plant-based diet regimen, to those who are unable to tolerate egg, milk, or soy proteins due to allergies or undesirable gastrointestinal side effects.
