Is this a complete protein?

Yes. The pea, sprout, seed and legume blend supplies all nine essential amino acids, so it works as a standalone plant protein.

Does it contain dairy or soy?

No. It is plant-based, dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free, which makes it suitable for vegans and people with those sensitivities.

How does it compare with whey protein?

It has a similar protein count per scoop but is thinner and grittier, and it digests differently for people who avoid dairy.

What does the unflavored version taste like?

It is earthy and grassy rather than sweet, so most people mix it into smoothies, oatmeal or soups instead of water.

Blend one scoop into a smoothie or shake with fruit or milk alternatives; plain water leaves it gritty.

A plant-based protein powder built from organic peas, sprouted grains, seeds and legumes, with 22 g of protein per serving and all essential amino acids. It adds vitamins A, D, E and K plus calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and manganese, and it skips artificial flavors, colors, binders and fillers.
