I don't know if this is a problem specific to Canadian Protein's vegan protein, but the one time I tried it, it had the kind of grittiness that sent me into a coughing fit on each sip. Completely undrinkable. It also had this awful flavour evocative of wet cardboard, which they assured me was normal.

I've had other kinds in the past. They've ranged from really gross stevia taste to what I would describe as pancake batter.

Protein powders have always been so hit and miss though im not sure it's related to them being vegan.
