Cricket Protein Powder - 1 lb - No Added Flavor - Mild Taste

I've used this product before. It's crickets... It tastes like crickets which is kind of gross but it's an excellent protein source that seems to have a much different effect on stamina compared to protein sources like vegetable or whey. I like it and I like the price.

I find the taste of this cricket powder is similar to other brands but the cost is lower. I will keep purchasing from them.

Then the description also protien source says beef. That's hilarious.

I really wanted to like cricket powder. I really really wanted to love a sustainable and healthy source of protien that I could use in smoothies and other recipes. Unfortunately cricket powder has a strong musky odor. I recognized the smell instantly from pet shops that sell crickets. I first tried a teaspoon of the powder in an 18 oz fruit smoothy. Despite the smoothy being thick with berries and yogurt, the small amount of cricket powder changed the flavor / smell enuogh that I couldn't finish it. It tastes like it smells...it is gritty too. The grittiness didn't soften up after sitting in the smoothy for over an hour. it just stays smelly and gritty. I guess if you are making a recipe that includes sand along with strong flavors then you can hide the the grit, smell, and flavor.

I've read all the research about how cricket powder is better than other types of protein powder (for the body, for the planet, and so on), so despite being twice as expensive I thought I'd try it. I've eaten cricket tacos in Mexico (which were delicious), so I thought "What the heck?" Well -- Be prepared. It has a very, very strong taste that overwhelms your smoothie or anything else you add protein powder to. NOT pleasant or "mild"! I had to buy a tub of strawberry flavored whey protein powder, and mix the two together 50/50. Then it's "OK" to the point where it doesn't *ruin* my daily smoothie.If it were the same cost as whey protein powder I might buy it again, given the benefits. BUT being that it's literally 2 to 3 times more expensive, I don't think so.

Well I bought randomly due to buds cricket powder being out of stock, the taste isn't as good and this product isn't completely powder, it has some whole cricket randomly which is gross to say the least never the less the taste is doable.

I do not have a sensitive gag reflex but for some reason this makes me sick. First time I had 2 scoops and I was throwing up all night. I tried again with 1 scoop, same thing. I had to throw it all out - and I bought 2 bags. It was a bad experience for me.

Product advertised as smooth, but out of the 4 brand I've used it's the only one that's gritty. Color is rich brown. Taste is alright. I'll go with other brands next time or use this in pet food. If they hadn't advertised it as smoother than it is, my opinion would be higher.Scoops have the consistency of corn flour flecked with hard sand, to occasional granules of cricket that have an unpleasant mouth feel.
