Reviews mention

  • Smooth, creamy shake texture
  • Balanced, not-too-sweet flavors
  • Convenient, shelf-stable packaging
  • Clean, plant-based ingredient list
  • Inconsistent, artificial-tasting strawberry flavor
  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Lower protein-per-serving content
  • Occasionally high sodium levels

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 love these shelf-stable plant-based treats!

  • While I appreciate the amount of protein and nutrients in this protein drink, the flavor was not my favorite. I tried the chocolate version. Maybe, next time I will try the vanilla version.

  • I drink protein drinks daily so I know a thing or two about them. I’m always worried about a chalky taste and I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of this!

  • I have excellent experience with different brands of protein drinks. Pirq is one of the good brands with clean plant ingredients. I wish there were more delicious ones with high protein per serving available.

  • I've tried several brands of hydration packets; these are sweeter than I was expecting, but adding more water fixes that. I like around 20oz as opposed to the suggested 16oz. I'd definitely try their other flavors, however, I think these packets are a bit on the costly side.

  • Well, I really like the flavor of this product and the benefits. It doesn’t mix super well and water unless you have an actual frother.

  • Did not care for this product too much. Was hoping it tasted like propel or gatorade but had to choke down the first bottle.

  • Amazing hydration

    Perfect for long, hot days in the sun!

  • My husband didn't like it

    My husband drinks protein shakes almost every day and I thought this would be a good addition to the regular one he drinks. He did NOT like this at all, he felt like the texture and the taste were terrible. He tried the Decadent Chocolate. I tried it as well and I could not get past the taste of it. Definately yuck for me.

  • I love hydration packets but this one was just ok. I needed to water it down more than directed because I thought it was too thick and the flavor was overpowering.

  • Flavor was great! I had hard time with yellow color because I like to mix my protein drink with my coffee. Texture was good as well. I just wish it wasnt so yellow

  • This a must buy for your protein needs. It tastes so much better than orgain or other protein drinks. I wish there were hang tags on these all the time since they are pretty pricy.

  • Interesting product. I tried the caramel coffee and golden vanilla flavors. I liked the caramel coffee one a little more. A little lighter than typical protein shakes but overall, a good flavor

  • Big fan!

    I love Pirq and have already purchased it again! It is very filling and flavorful, on top of having great macros! You’d have no idea it’s vegan either. Definitely recommend!

  • This shake is yummy and filling and great quality!! My kids also love it. For me when im on the go this is a perfect breakfast or in between meal drink

  • Great!

    I really love Pirq and have already bought it serval times. It is a lot of bang for its buck in terms of calories and protein. It also tastes great and is quite filling!
