Tier Verdict ยท Didn't Land

This powder hasn't impressed us in the Ninja Creami so far. Texture or flavor didn't quite land in the frozen base โ€” but it may still be great in a shake or other uses.

The Review

The Sprout Living Epic Protein Vanilla Lucuma presents a significant departure from traditional whey-based powders in a Ninja Creami pint. The vanilla flavor is present, but it is not the dominant note. Instead, there are clear and strong undertones of pea or bean, likely stemming from the 'Epic Protein Base' which includes yellow pea, sunflower, pumpkin, and sacha inchi seeds. This creates a unique and complex flavor profile that is distinctly earthy and not purely vanilla, complemented by other ingredients like lucuma, baobab, ginger, and cinnamon. Despite the complex flavor, the texture achieved in the Creami pint is surprisingly smooth and creamy after a re-spin. It produces a thick consistency, characteristic of a well-processed pint, with only a hint of chalkiness remaining. This powder is best suited for those who appreciate a more natural, earthy flavor in their protein ice cream and are open to a less conventional vanilla experience, especially given its plant-based origin.
