Real Vanilla

I went into this test pretty hyped because my last run with an almond-based powder was such a nice change of pace, completely avoiding that weird "bean" aftertaste that usually ruins pea proteins. I’m happy to say Wellious did not let me down; in fact, I’m actually thrilled with how this turned out. It provides a clear, honest vanilla base that tastes incredibly clean and didn't even need any extra toppings or mix-ins to be enjoyable. It’s rare to find a powder that stands on its own two feet like this, but the flavor is just solid, classic vanilla without any of the synthetic flavors.

Just a quick note. The packaging here is smaller than I expected and not quite like the sizes of a typical protein powder bag. There are only ten servings per bag. Also unlike other powders, this one packs 5g of fiber per serving (and the Lord knows I need more fiber).

When it comes to the actual Creami process, the first spin was admittedly a little crumbly, but don't let that scare you off. It’s an easy fix: just a tiny splash of milk, a quick scrape of the frozen bits on the side, and a run through the mix-in cycle. You don't even need a full re-spin to get it right. The result is thick, seriously creamy, and very tasty—honestly, it beats out some whey proteins by a long shot. The texture is ultra-smooth and lacks any of that vegan grittiness. Even though I’m not a vegan, the performance and flavor here are so good that this is an automatic re-buy for me.
