PIRQ reviews and discussion

I make a ton of smoothies so I'm always trying different protein shakes to see what works best in them. I'm intrigued by plant-based shakes because my tummy doesn't love a lot of lactose, but I really didn't like the texture or flavor of these. I found the strawberry tasted very artificial and they left an unpleasant aftertaste. They're also pretty expensive compared to some of my favorites (Fairlife). If you're strictly plant based the macros on these are great but they aren't for me.

These are great because they are shelf-stable (no need to put them all in the fridge). I've tried the chocolate and vanilla flavors and both taste great - not too sweet and do not have an artificial taste. I also like the ability to reseal the bottle.

This plant protein based drink can probably replace your vitamin and help people who can’t eat get their nutrition. It starts out with a delicious vanilla flavor, but then the aftertaste of stevia. Main ingredient is pea protein and their superfoods blend.

I have tried the chocolate Pirq and I thought it tasted pretty good! It has plant protein and a bunch of different fruit in it which is awesome. I would repurchase if I needed something chocolate with lots of protein.

I generally like plant-based protein drinks, but this brand isn't my favorite. I tried the chocolate flavor and to me it's ok in an "emergency" situation where you need something to hold you over for a couple hours and can't get a full meal (it does have 21 grams of protein). There's a stevia aftertaste, and overall it doesn't give a "clean" or "healthy" taste to me. It's hard to take more than a few small sips at a time. I tried bringing one to the gym and I wouldn't recommend it since I felt kind of unhealthy drinking it even though it's presumably supposed to be healthy.

I'm usually not a fan of protein shakes but I like this one. I just put the vanilla flavor in with frozen strawberries in a blender and I have a very yummy smoothie in no time. Makes it super simple for my daughter to help me as well.

I was excited to find a healthier protein drink, but the vanilla flavor tastes awful! I will have to keep looking, no way I can drink this.

Pirq protein shakes are my families go to for protein shakes. They’re vegan, gluten free, and non gmo so that’s perfect for our dietary lifestyle. The strawberry and chocolate ones are good but the vanilla is my favorite! They’re perfect chilled and easy to take on the go. A perfect protein pick me up!

I love the vanilla flavor of these protein drinks. I always get nervous with protein drinks because sometimes they can be weird in taste or texture, but this one is amazing. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a delicious flavor. I wouldn't even think it's a protein drink. The only downside is the outrageous cost for these.

I bought both the protein powder (vanilla) and the protein shakes in the vanilla and strawberry flavors; it's all really delicious. I don't know if it's the maca, or curcumin, or the vanilla, but there is a taste in there that's really strong that makes it stand out among other protein products I've tried. The drink is also this beautiful golden color, in both the strawberry and vanilla, that's just very visually appealing. Macros are good considering it's plant-based.

As far as “ready-made-protein-drinks” go this is my fav! Clean ingredients and I mixed with espresso shots to add protein to my coffee!

I've been on a bit of a binge trying different protein shakes, and I have to say that Pirq is so far among the best ready-to-drink plant protein products I've had. The Chocolate flavor has a great hit of cocoa and the stevia, which substitutes for sugar and can often leave a metallic aftertaste, isn't intrusive. I also like that it has a touch of maca and curcumin (turmeric), which provides a tiny zing to the flavor. It's a tad high in sodium (270 mg), but with 15 g of protein and 4 g of fiber its benefits outweigh that tiny drawback. I'm still continuing my protein shake journey, but Pirq definitely is on my "buy again" list.

It checks so many boxes (calories, protein, sodium, and sugar content, etc.), but it contains a hazardous additive. 💁🏼‍♀️ My husband is now hooked! Pirq has become a daily staple for smoothies, as well as on its own.

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.

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 had tried the golden vanilla flavor of the Pirq protein drink. I wanted to try the caramel coffee as well but when I went back to my sprouts I couldn’t find these anymore. It reminds me of soy milk which I enjoy. This drink has less protein then I would like it to have but at least it tastes good. Some plant proteins I have tried in the past were awful. Hopefully my sprouts restocks so I can try the other flavors of Pirq.

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.
