Orgain Organic Protein Plant-Based Powder vs Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

Buy the Orgain if you want a plant-based, USDA Organic powder that is vegan, gluten free and has no sugar added, and you like single-serve packets for travel or kids. Buy Gold Standard if you want more protein per scoop, a whey formula built for muscle recovery, and a large tub that lasts. Orgain wins on diet certifications and ingredient sourcing; Gold Standard wins on protein per serving, BCAA content and mixability. Owners of Gold Standard rate it well and praise how easily it dissolves, while Orgain buyers like the organic label but some find the texture gritty and the flavor sweet.

• Choose the Orgain Organic Protein if you are vegan, want organic and non-GMO certification, or need packets for on-the-go and kid-friendly shakes.
• Choose the Gold Standard 100% Whey if you train for strength, want 24 g of whey protein and 5.5 g of BCAAs per serving, and prefer a large tub.
