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 really like the watermelon electrolyte hydration by Pirq. I just throw a packet in my bag and mix it in my water bottle at work. It’s convenient and keeps me hydrated all day. I really like it on hot days.

  • I am so happy to have found this drink! I have numerous GI issues (and auto-immune) and when I'm in a flare up; this is my go to. I love the flavor and the nutrition is on point. No added sugar, minimal ingredients, decent amount of fiber and great protein content. My only issue is finding it in stores. I can sometimes find it at Sprouts and some Walmart stores.

  • Tried the vanilla and love it!! No added sugar but taste is natural gentle sweet high protein. Balanced and flavorful of every quality ingredient combined taste. No beany smell nor weird medicine after taste. Just right consistency of not too creamy greasy nor too bland watery. A convenient refreshing protein shake for all seasons. Nice little round inner cap design so after pouring there is no leak or drip from the top.

  • It was very creamy and tasty! No powdery texture at all. The price was not high for its portion, but the quality is very high.

  • The nutritional profile and ingredients of this vegan protein are very attractive, as is the fun packaging. However the taste was a bit disappointing. The caramel flavor I tried had an artificial after taste. I would give the other flavors a chance if they were on sale but will stick with my current vegan protein.

  • It had some weird taste, i choose vamila flavor .lIts too rich , but it contain plant based protein and claimed as superfood. I am not fan of almond/peas/,plant based imgridient, because it tasted so weird in my mouth.

  • I tried the Vanilla flavor which wasn't chalky like most protein shakes are, and it had a very thin consistency making it easy to drink.

  • I tried the vanilla flavor of Pirq and it is the best protein shakes I have tried. It doesn't have a weird chemical smell or taste like others and tastes like vanilla. I would like to try all of their flavors.

  • I really enjoyed this protein shake! I love how creamy and smooth it is. There’s not an overwhelming chalky taste like most other protein! I also love the convenience of these and how they’re ready to go versus getting out your protein powder and making a protein shake.

  • It is a plant based protein drink, without any sugar and has superfoods in it, as well as being delicious. They are great if you are on a Keto diet. It is: Dairy, soy and gluten free, as well as vegan and kosher.

  • Chocolate and Vanilla taste fine, nothing special, nothing too bad about it. Strawberry taste a bit off, not my preference. Fairly low amount of protein for a protein shake, but the over all macros are fine. A decent amount of Iron in them, so that could be good or bad depending on if you consume too much or not enough Iron. I've used a single one to replace my breakfasts though, so it's done its job well. The

  • PIRQ shakes are a great choice for those looking for a clean, dairy-free protein option with added superfood benefits. While they may not be ideal for those needing a high-protein drink, they’re perfect for on-the-go nutrition without artificial ingredients.

  • The watermelon-flavored electrolyte packs from PIRQ deliver a delicious and refreshing way to stay hydrated. The natural watermelon taste is enjoyable without being overly sweet, and the electrolyte boost provides important health benefits for hydration and recovery. The convenient pack format makes it easy to mix into water whenever needed. A great option for anyone looking for a tasty way to replenish electrolytes throughout the day.

  • Really tasty and easy to use. Get your electrolytes in with a convenient way. Lemon like flavor was good and not too overpowering.

  • Great product and great ingredients. In my opinion the price is a little high for what you get, but if the nutrition hits your goals, it might be worth the splurge.

  • The flavor was definitely different but has really good ingredients so looking forward to try more options. The combination of flavors was cool

  • This mix is so tasty. It’s like drinking starburst juice. It’s not too sweet and doesn’t have a lingering sweet aftertaste. It smells fruity and the powder dissolves perfectly in ice cold water. The only thing that would make this product better is a lower price. I hope they make a fizzy option with the same great taste.
