Analysis

Thirty grams of protein and a larger carbohydrate contribution make this more filling than a lean protein powder. The profile may work as a convenient snack or part of a meal when the broader calorie load is wanted.

Both the protein matrix and the greens, seeds, sprouts, plants, and acacia-gum matrix are proprietary. Their combined weights are shown, but the individual ingredients and doses cannot be evaluated from the supplied facts.

Sodium sits in a range that may contribute during active use, though no potassium or magnesium is listed to make a complete electrolyte blend. The high serving cost and limited formula disclosure reduce its appeal despite the strong protein amount.

Who is it for
  • Adults wanting a meal-like plant protein shake
  • Users who need both protein and carbohydrates
  • People comfortable with proprietary plant blends
Best for
  • Filling snacks
  • Meal supplementation
  • Moderate sodium replacement during activity

Pros

  • Provides 30 grams of protein
  • Meal-like macronutrient profile
  • Includes a broad plant and fiber matrix

Cons

  • Protein sources and amounts are hidden in a proprietary blend
  • Individual plant doses are undisclosed
  • No supporting potassium or magnesium is listed

Warnings

  • The proprietary plant matrices prevent users with specific plant allergies from verifying every component and amount.
  • The 26 grams of carbohydrate should be included when planning a lower-carbohydrate diet.
  • The 370 mg sodium contribution matters for people following a sodium-restricted eating plan.
  • Acacia gum and a large plant blend may cause gas or digestive discomfort in sensitive users.

Nutrient quality

78 High impact

The protein and meal-sized nutrition amounts are substantial, but the exact plant proteins and greens are hidden. The formula fits meal support while carrying more carbohydrate and uncertainty than a focused protein powder.

.

Ingredient transparency

48 Lower impact

Protein and total matrix amounts are stated, but the central formula remains opaque. Proprietary protein and plant matrices hide components, while complete directions and non-active ingredients are absent.

.

Customer satisfaction

63 Moderate impact

The aggregate rating is mixed and based on a limited feedback volume. Specific experience details are missing, so recurring problems and purpose fit remain uncertain.

.

Value for money

53 Moderate impact

Substantial protein helps, but opaque matrices weaken quality relative to the premium serving cost. Serving value is weak because the package provides few servings.

Its 370 mg sodium amount sits in the preferred athletic replenishment range. The sodium source is not identified, and no supporting electrolytes or buffering minerals broaden the formula. The sodium amount suits athletic replacement, but hidden blend contents and a large carbohydrate load reduce transparency.

Soy Protein Isolate Unflavored

NOW Sports
<p>A more focused ingredient profile makes this a stronger match for the original product’s main protein role. Soy protein isolate provides a complete plant-protein source with no carbohydrate and a meaningful amount per serving. Mineral forms and processing details are limited, but the simple formula and low relative serving cost support strong value.</p>
74 Performance

Organic Rice Protein Powder Chocolate

NutriBiotic
<p>A more focused ingredient profile makes this a stronger match for the original product’s main protein role. Rice protein provides a useful plant-based serving, but the amount is moderate and no amino acid profile or processing detail is supplied. Phosphorus is only a small secondary contribution, while disclosed amounts do not appear excessive.</p>
86 Performance

Collagen Peptides No Added Flavor

ZHOU
<p>A clearly defined ingredient profile offers a useful alternative for protein intake, with a different source or digestion profile than the original. A simple hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder supplies a substantial amount with very little nutritional clutter. Clear dosing and favorable serving economics make it a strong straightforward option.</p>
79 Budget

Pea Protein Power

Source Naturals
<p>A lower serving cost makes this a more economical alternative while retaining a meaningful protein source. A simple pea-protein concentrate offers a moderate protein serving with little carbohydrate or fat. The protein dose is lower than many full meal or training powders, but the long supply supports strong value.</p>
76 Budget

Rice Protein Powder Plain

NutriBiotic
<p>A lower serving cost makes this a more economical alternative while retaining a meaningful protein source. Plain rice protein provides a useful plant-based serving, but the amount is moderate and protein quality details are absent. Phosphorus remains a small secondary nutrient, while the disclosed nutrition profile avoids obvious excess.</p>
79 Budget

Organic Pea Protein

NOW Sports
<p>A lower serving cost makes this a more economical alternative while retaining a meaningful protein source. Organic pea protein offers a simple plant source with very little carbohydrate, but the 15 g amount is light for a full protein serving. The long supply and low relative serving cost support strong practical value, while processing and amino acid details remain absent.</p>
81 Value

Pea Protein Unflavored

NOW Sports
<p>The combination of a usable protein serving and favorable serving economics improves practical value. A substantial unflavored pea-protein amount with minimal carbohydrate provides a focused plant-protein serving. Sodium and iron are substantial, while protein processing, amino acid quality, directions, and non-active ingredients are not supplied.</p>
84 Value

Collagen Peptides Powder

NOW
<p>The combination of a usable protein serving and favorable serving economics improves practical value. Hydrolyzed collagen supplies 10 grams of protein in a form intended for easy mixing and digestion. Collagen lacks a complete essential-amino-acid profile, so it should not replace a complete dietary protein.</p>
71 Value

NITRO TECH Milk Chocolate

MuscleTech Performance Series
<p>The combination of a usable protein serving and favorable serving economics improves practical value. A large protein serving with modest carbohydrate supports convenient recovery nutrition at strong serving value. The unexplained matrix entries have no usable amounts, so their contribution cannot be judged.</p>
