Baking with vegan protein powder is an easy way to fit traditionally carbohydrate heavy foods (e.g. muffins, pancakes) into a vegan diet with specific macros. I’ve done quite a bit of experimenting with cooking with plant-based protein powder, and I’ll walk you through the main things I’ve learned. If you need a protein powder recommendation, look at my top ranked vegan protein powders in...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Berry, Mocha Vega Sport Performance Protein Powder is one of the main vegan protein powders that Vega sells. I’ve always seen Vega on the shelves of grocery and supplement stores and the high price always scared me off. (Note that you can often find it on sale if you pay attention.) But now, I’ve taken the plunge, bought a large tub, and have put it to the test...
Flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Wild berries, Chai Naturade VeganSmart All-in-one Nutritional Shake is not primarily a protein powder, and yet I chose to try and review it anyways. That’s because it has a substantial amount of protein for a general nutrition shake. That being said, I held it to the same standards that I do for all normal plant based protein powders. This review is divided into the 4...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate Optimum Nutrition has a reputation of producing products that are basically the gold standard for supplement quality. I was really excited when I heard that Optimum Nutrition came out with a vegan protein powder: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Plant. It was a little tricky to find a site that ships to Canada, but Muscle and Strength carries small...
Where to buy: Amazon, Whole Foods The GoMacro bar is vegan friendly and easy to find. It’s an organic bar with “simple” ingredients. I’ve found it at a local health store, along with Whole Foods. Many online stores also carry it. So, in my quest to find the best vegan protein bar, I tested out the GoMacro bar. All bars are rated in 3 categories to make them easy to compare. This review is divided...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocha MRM Veggie Elite is one of 2 main vegan protein powders that MRM sell. I’ve tried both, and this is by far the better one (MRM Veggie was terrible). I’ve broken down the review into 4 more sections, each with their own score. The scores are calculated objectively in the first 3 categories. You can learn more about my testing methodology here if you’re curious...
Flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Unflavored, Cinnamon Bun No, that score is not a typo in the image, it really scored 36/100. I’ll say it upfront, this is one of the worst protein powders I’ve ever tried, both whey and plant based powders included. The strange thing is that MRM makes another vegan protein powder called MRM Veggie Elite that is actually one of the better ones I’ve tried. The...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate Kaizen is a Canadian-based supplement company, mostly known for their whey protein powders. However, they do have one vegan protein powder, which I gave a try (chocolate) in order to review. Just like every other review on this site, I’ve broken it down into the 4 main factors I judge protein powders by. All scores have been calculated whenever possible in order...
Where to buy: Amazon Garden of Life is well known for their organic plant-based supplements, I’ve previously reviewed Garden of Life’s raw vegan protein powder as well. When I was conducting my research to find the best vegan protein bar, of course I included Garden of Life’s bar. All the bars I’ve tested have been scored according to amount of...
For Canadians, this is one of the better options we currently have. There are better vegan protein powders made in the U.S. or Europe, but the customs fees make them unaffordable. This review consists of objective measurements and scores whenever possible. I’ve tested over 20 vegan protein powders with the same procedure. You can see how all the powders compare against each other on my page...
