Why it's worth it
The organic three-source protein blend covers all essential amino acids, the 6g prebiotic fiber adds digestive value, and the $29.97 price makes this the natural starting point for anyone entering plant-based protein supplementation.
From our review of 12 protein powders for muscle building, by Eleanor Vance, Health & Beauty Editor
What we like
- +21g plant protein per serving from organic peas, brown rice, and chia seeds with all 9 essential amino acids
- +6g prebiotic fiber per serving actively supports digestive health
- +USDA Organic certified, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and no erythritol
- +Zero artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives
What to know
- –21g protein is noticeably lower than premium plant options like Vega (30g)
- –Brown rice protein contributes a slightly grainy texture in the mix
- –Not NSF Certified for Sport — not for drug-tested competitive athletes
