Summary: Verdict: KOS is a bit below average when compared to other vegan protein powders. However, it is one of the better organic powders. Pros: Organic ingredients, good flavor, reasonably priced. Cons: Doesn’t mix well, and the percent of calories that come from protein is relatively low compared to other shakes. See pricing in store I drink a lot of protein powder, which is why...
Summary: About Time’s vegan protein powder is a decent vegan protein powder. While it’s not my favorite, I certainly wouldn’t recommend not buying it if you want to. Pros: Good flavor. Significant amounts of iron, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. Cons: Relatively expensive. Taste is good, but a bit chalky. In order to find the best vegan protein powder, I’ve tested about 40 at...
All casein protein powders are derived from milk, so they aren’t vegan. But if you’re looking for a slow-digesting protein powder to take before sleeping, some plant proteins are better than others. We’re going to quickly look at how the essential amino acid profiles of different types of plant proteins like soy, pea, and brown rice stack up against casein. Does a Vegan Version of Casein Exist...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mocha, Berry, Unflavored I have tested well over 30 vegan protein powders at this point. While Sunwarrior’s protein powders are relatively good for raw options, the Warrior Blend ranks below average overall. I’ve broken the review into the 4 main parts of choosing a protein powder, each has a score out of 25. In most cases, the score is based on...

Good source of iron. Cons: Poor texture and flavor. More expensive than most other alternatives. Unique selling points: No stevia or added sugar. Carbon and plastic neutral company. As...

Pros: Mixes well and has a good flavor. Also has a good variety of unique flavors. Cons: Protein content is pretty average. A bit more expensive than the average plant based protein powder...
True Nutrition is a unique company that sells protein powder and other supplements direct to people. It helps them offer a few unique features, and keep the price down. The main draw of True Nutrition is that you can create your own custom blends of proteins. They have all the popular vegan ingredients like pea protein, brown rice protein, etc. For most people, myself included, it’s easier to...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate You may have seen Purely Inspired Organic Protein Powder at Walmart or some other “low cost” store. It’s one of the cheapest, widely available vegan protein powders, which is why I had to get a tub and put it to the test. You can see from the overall score that it’s pretty decent, even if it’s not the best vegan protein powder. I’ve divided this review...
Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Berry, Unflavored, Vanilla Chai I’m generally a fan of most Vega protein products, but this one… …was not my favorite. I’ve reviewed some pretty bad vegan protein powders before, but this one has the lowest overall score by a significant margin. I’d highly recommend looking at my favorite plant based protein powders for alternative protein powders to...
It can be hard to get enough protein on a vegan diet, which is why protein powder can be a great help, especially for muscle building or weight loss. But it can be expensive to buy vegan protein powder regularly, and it can contain ingredients that you don’t like (or wasteful packaging). That’s why I recommend making your own if you’re looking to save some money or gain some control. I...
