PIRQ earns largely positive reviews for tasty, dairy-free, plant-based protein shakes and electrolyte mixes that are convenient, shelf-stable, and smooth rather than chalky, with standout flavors like Caramel Coffee, Decadent Chocolate, and Golden Vanilla. Reviews also flag weaknesses: inconsistent flavors (especially strawberry), noticeable stevia/pea-protein aftertaste for some, modest protein per serving versus dairy shakes, and occasional gum additives or high sodium noted by a few.

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 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.

I really enjoyed the tumeric milk flavor, which I am not sure if they still offer. I thought that the tumeric vanilla was auch more unique of an offering thatn the run of the mill vanilla protein shake. I thought that the price point was a little high but could be justified if you are in a pinch and away from your own blender.
Love the plant protein superfoods drink, love the hydration!

I'm an athlete and need at least 20g of protein after my workouts to fully recover. Unfortunately this is not always easy. I've tried alot of protein supplements over the years and am interested in drinks because they are the easiest to get down. I'm happy to announce that this one actually tastes good and doesn't upset my stomach!
These don’t taste great but have good protein

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.

I’ve been drinking Pirq shakes for a couple months now and I really like them. The chocolate flavor is my favorite, it’s smooth, not too sweet, and doesn’t taste chalky like some protein drinks. I love that it’s plant-based, has no added sugar, and still gives me 15 grams of protein. It keeps me full between meals and is great after workouts. It’s a little pricey, but worth it for the clean ingredients and how convenient it is when I’m on the go.

I tried Pirq for the first time recently. I love the convenience of a pre-made shake. The strawberry flavor tasted delicious and perfectly sweet. The shakes being dairy-free are a huge bonus for me. The macros are very good.

I have tried the chocolate shake and found it tasted quite good - not overwhelmingly sweet and has a good chocolate flavor. The texture is nice too, not too thin or thick, and the macros are impressive for a vegan protein shake.

The star of this drink is its rich, aromatic vanilla essence, which strikes a balance between sweet and nuanced. Unlike overly sugary alternatives, PIRQ’s formulation layers the vanilla with subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, evoking the cozy familiarity of a chai latte. The spices are gentle, allowing the vanilla to shine while adding depth. It’s reminiscent of a warm dessert but refined enough to avoid being cloying—a nod to traditional vanilla flavors with a modern, health-forward twist.

Pretty decent vegan protein shakes, not overly sweet but also without the horrible chalky/gritty aftertaste that a lot of similar shakes have. The chocolate & caramel coffee flavors are both tasty.

These are pretty tasty. They're packed with nutritious ingredients and the protein content is pretty high (21 g) for a plant-based shake. I've added the vanilla flavor to oatmeal, and I've even added cocoa powder to it to turn it from vanilla to "chocolate" flavor.

My girlfriend is a huge fan of PIRQ. She is sensitive to dairy. Being a dairy-free protein shake that tastes good is what matters to her. And PIRQ earned her loyalty!

Tried Pirq Protein and didn’t love it. The taste was okay, but the fake sugar aftertaste was pretty strong and not pleasant. It’s a decent option if you’re looking for protein, but the flavor definitely wasn’t my favorite.
