The Top 9 Plant-Based Protein Powders On The Market
Fresh, whole foods are always the best go-to, but sometimes a protein shake is an efficient and delicious way to power up.
Protein powder can be an efficient way to get protein and nutrition in, especially when you’re in the midst of a busy schedule, on an athletic/protein-packed meal budget, or trying to lose weight and cut back on snacks and calorie-dense foods like nuts. It’s also convenient during a detox cleanse when regular foods are limited. But we want something tasty, not a shake that tastes like liquified chalk or soap, like some actually do.
Ideally, all protein shakes would taste delicious, but we also don’t want a ton of sugars, artificial sweeteners or inflammatory alcohol sugars, and fake-hormone-injected whey hidden inside.
The popular option for plant-based protein powder is pea protein because it’s grain-free, as well as naturally high in lean protein and fiber which helps keep you full longer. Pea protein is also high in iron, which supports energy levels and healthy blood supply. How about that to power your day? Apparently, Shakespeare can also apply to peas: though they be small, they be fierce.
This article doesn’t include whey protein (because it’s not plant-based), or brands like Orgain because (though popular and organic) it contains erythritol, which is not a preferred ingredient. All the options listed below are organic, plant-based/vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and non-GMO.

1. Truvani
An excellent choice for those seeking a clean, vegan, keto-friendly, and organic protein powder, Truvani protein powder is sugar-free, grain-free, and delicious! It uses monk fruit extract with no refined or fake sugars, erythritol, or even stevia added. It’s silky smooth – no chalky or grainy texture – and has multiple flavors, including banana cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, vanilla chai, matcha, and peanut butter chocolate. You can try a sampler pack before you decide, although the banana cinnamon and the chocolate are top favorites. The aesthetic brand also offers recipes, like protein brownies, and you can buy collagen and superfood greens powders too. Besides the brand website and Amazon, you can also find Truvani at Whole Foods for a quick pick-up.
