My Favorite Vegan Protein Powders

Vegan Protein Powder and Tyler

Want to scoop the best plant-based protein powder? Having tried hundreds of products, these are some of my favorite go-to’s.

Garden of Life Sport Organic Protein

This is the upper echelon of vegan protein powder designed for sports performance and optimized recovery. Garden of Life Sport is an anti-inflammatory product containing a variety of protein sources (some sprouted) and an abundant amino acid profile that’s naturally rich in BCAAs. It has tremendous recovery-boosting properties and a mellow, not-too-sweet taste.

Truvani Plant-Based protein powder without heavy metals

Truvani Plant-based Protein

Truvani is arguably the cleanest protein powder. The company invests in third-party testing to ensure the purity of its products. Truvani’s Plant-based Protein is truly minimalist, devoid of gums, fillers, texturizers, or additives. It comes in a variety of flavors, ranging from Peanut Butter and Matcha Latte to Pumpkin Spice and Flavorless (many of which are sugar-free.)

Orgain Simple Protein

A highly-rated product for both its taste and nutritional profile, Orgain Simple Protein is a frequently-purchased favorite of mine. It has a smooth, malty flavor profile and it comes in three delicious options (Vanilla and Peanut Butter are my favorites). It’s highly praised for being stevia-free and ‘naturally sweet’ using a touch of cane sugar.

PB2 Performance Peanut Protein Powder with 8g of Fiber

PB2 Peanut Protein

Made from a simple, 6-ingredient of mostly roasted peanuts and brown rice protein, PB2 Performance Peanut Protein is top-tier. Not only does it taste amazing, but it blends exceptionally well into anything from coffee to oatmeal. It’s also loaded with protein and fiber and uses only monk fruit for a touch of sweetness.

Sunwarrior Warrior Blend

Indisputably one of the plant-based protein powders, Warrior Blend is a powerhouse that checks all the boxes. It comes in a wide range of flavors, including a ‘natural’ unflavored protein powder that’s stevia-free and transparent tasting. The quality of the protein blend, organic ingredients, and easy digestibility have me sold on Warrior Blend.

OWYN (Only What You Need) is a stevia-free, vegan protein powder that uses real organic cane sugar and monk fruit extract. It’s one of the cleanest, best-tasting vegan protein powders that also offers superfoods and greens like spinach, broccoli, and kale. The Vanilla flavor is one of the best protein powders in its class.
