Plant-based protein powders range widely in quality. The criteria that matter most: complete amino-acid profile, digestibility, no hidden proprietary blend, NPN.
How we compared
Protein grams per scoop, EAA and BCAA coverage, digestion (8 weeks of testing), taste, third-party testing, price per 30 g protein.
Our four picks
Iron Vegan Sprouted Protein (Canadian brand) — pea+sprouted brown rice+quinoa, 22 g protein, NPN certified.
Vega Sport Protein — pea+pumpkin+sunflower+alfalfa, 30 g protein, well-tolerated.
Genuine Health Fermented Vegan Proteins+ — Canadian, fermented for digestion, 20 g protein.
Naked Pea (bulk option) — single-ingredient pea isolate, best value per gram of protein.
