Chocolate Brownie - Chocolate Brownie from BEAM is the second flavor the brand has produced for its Vegan Protein. While a lot of companies go for single flavor chocolate I found this was hybrid milk chocolate and swiss chocolate combination. As the flavors mesh together you will notice how strong and bold the flavors compliment each other. Brownies have a diverse chocolate flavor that resembles fudge, and in this protein, you will pick that up on the backend. How BEAM can replicate a dessert into a vegan protein powder is truly remarkable. The three things that stand out are the mouth-feel, creaminess, and minimal amount of chalkiness from the protein powder.
BEAM Vegan protein is much creamier than most vegan protein powders on the market. The two inclusions of Smooth Protein and Clean Cream leave a smooth and creamy consistency. I found 8-10oz of water or almond milk to be a sweet spot per scoop with the BEAM Vegan Protein. I also make protein pudding where you place a scoop of protein in a bowl and slowly add water to form a thick paste. Both are common ways to use the protein, and I found zero clumps when mixing in both fashions.

If you want a sweeter chocolate based go ghost if you want a denser chocolate go BEAM
I am going to see about getting myself a code for BEAM, that way if anyone is interested on purchasing in the future I will have a year round discount for you.
I am also going to start doing recipes for the brand on their webpage. Anything you guys want to see let me know. I already have 5 done and more to come.
Both are very well executed in terms of taste and texture.
Chocolate Brownie is definitely on the richer, darker side of the chocolate spectrum, whereas Blueberry Muffin seems to be at about 50/50 in terms of Blueberry and Muffin.
Each has texture lends a fair amount of thickness and creaminess, with a subtle amount of graininess (graininess being a plus, for me).
Interestingly, I found the Chocolate Brownie to be similar in taste and texture to 80/20’s Chocolate Lava Cake — which I also enjoyed immensely. So given that I’m not a strict vegan, I’ll probably keep 80/20 as my go-to.
Blueberry Muffin, however, is truly a stand-out — and much better than most other Blueberry Muffins I’ve tried across any genre. I wouldn’t hesitate to re-up on it in the future — right alongside Ghost Blueberry Pastry .
