PIRQ reviews and discussion

I am super picky when it comes to protein drinks and I have one every day to maintain muscle mass on my weight loss journey. PIRQ Caramel Coffee didn’t disappoint. The shake is rich and flavorful, but is just slightly sweet because it has NO sugar. It’s dairy/soy free, gluten free, vegan and kosher! Its nutrient rich and has 15 grams of protein for just 130 calories, perfect for a healthy snack with a little boost of energy. The price was reasonable so I went back and got several more packs. I found them at Sprouts in the new products section.

Great protein shake! I am lactose and gluten free so this is a great option for me, especially with the added nutritional benefits this shake has. My only wish is that it has more protein- 15g is a decent amount but it could be more.

This was a pretty good tasting vegan protein shake that only has 130 calories, 15g protein, and 0 sugar. There is a slight artificial taste but honestly I don’t mind that for having zero sugar and it would be bitter without any sweetener. There is some vegetable glycerin (less than 1%) probably for shelf-stability purposes. Overall, this is a competitive ready-to-drink plant based protein option and I enjoy! I’m curious about the coffee flavor and I would imagine these protein drinks would make tasty overnight oats.

I think the pirq protein drinks taste good! I like that it has 15 g of protein and is made from pea and rice. It has good ingredients like almonds, curcumin and maca!! Overall a good pick me up!

The Pirq Watermelon hydration has such great flavor and really quenches the thirst. I appreciate the that it is a clean product that helps me replace my electrolytes lost in this Houston heat. I would definitely recommend this product.

Overall, for a hydration drink, this is a nice product. I thought the packet mixed very easily with water. The watermelon flavor tasted like watermelon, and I had no issue drinking it. I thought that the nutritionals were well-rounded. My biggest issue with the product was that I had trouble finding it. This product was in the pharmacy by the nutritional and weight loss section. I understand not wanting to put this product by the energy drinks or the drinks that have no nutritional value. However, I do not think it would be horrible to put it near the other hydration mixes like liquid IV or halo. The pharmacy was the last place I looked since the packaging didn't scream out to me that it was a medical product. I would consider purchasing this product again if I were in the market for a hydration drink. I think the price is on par with the other hydration drinks out there. I would recommend it to a family member.

This product taste delicious and I love that it is only one carb. I love the functions of it and the amount of electrolytes it has.

Pros: The watermelon flavor does taste like watermelon with very little weird aftertaste, and I like that there’s added turmeric! Cons: These are very expensive for what they are and I don’t like the usage of stevia.

Not bad. I bought the coffee flavor, it's sweet, creamy and with a hint of coffee flavor. I enjoyed it with crushed ice, it does taste like a protein shake but not so bad like other brands. The color doesn't look appetizing but who cares, it's healthy but doesn't taste like healthy, do you know what I mean?

I had high hopes for this product because I love ready made shakes. They’re super convenient for my lifestyle. Unfortunately, I found the product left a thick cocoa flavored coating after drinking it. I didn’t find it pleasant so I won’t be purchasing again.

I tried the golden vanilla flavor and it was delicious! No chalkiness.

Great fast way to get your coffee and protein in one. Love them.

Too sweet for me

Love the plant protein superfoods drink, love the hydration!

Enjoyable protein and superfood-filled way to start the day! I really like to drink one of these before or after a quick workout. Out of the three flavors I tried, I would rank them Caramel Coffee, Decadent Chocolate, then Golden Vanilla.

I really enjoyed the flavor initially. It tasted like a chocolate shake, no complaints. But as soon as the aftertaste hit I was turned off. It’s sweetened with stevia and that flavor lingers, not in a good way. It’s also chalky and left a strange feeling in my mouth, especially my teeth. I can’t compare this to other vegan protein shakes so maybe it’s good by comparison, but I didn’t love it.

ok, but taste like all the protein drinks. just powder like. caramel and chocolate was ok. a bit expensive. easy to open. but taste needs improvement.

These drinks are yummy! They are not chalky or powdery like other protein drinks I’ve had in the past. These are so convenient to have on hand in the refrigerator to grab for a quick breakfast on busy mornings, on the way to work/school drop-off, or just to have as a yummy treat at night. I also love that they’re premade shakes so you don’t have to do anything but unscrew the cap and drink up. YUM! As far as the flavors go, the Decadent Chocolate is AMAZINGLY AWESOME—it truly reminds me of drinking a YooHoo as a kiddo. I only wish they weren’t quite as expensive.

Wow. These Watermelon Electrolyte Hydration Packets from PIRQ are excellent. I am definitely not someone who can drink plain water and am constantly looking for ways to stay hydrated and add electrolytes after a hard workout and these have been perfect for doing just that. Not only is the flavor amazing, but the added energy and essential vitamins and minerals they provide have been truly outstanding. I also love that these hydration packets are made with natural ingredients and no artificial junk so you know that you are fueling your body right.  I feel so great and not a bit guilty at all serving them to my family as well for enhanced energy and electrolytes throughout the day.
