User questions & answers

Question:	What is the serving size, the calories per serving, and the grams of sugar and fat per serving? Thank you
Answer:	Serving size is two scoops (46grams) with 20 servings per container (40 scoops), 150 calories (40 from fat), 4g of Fat, 0g Saturated Fat, 1g sugar, 5g sugar alcohol, 125mg sodium, 21g protein, and 5g fiber
Question:	How does the flavor of Orgain plant-based vanilla protein compare to Garden of Life's raw vanilla protein
Answer:	I've had both, and Orgain's is very salty. It's got 270 mg sodium per serving, while Garden of Life's has like 160, I believe. I definitely prefer Garden of Life - which also offers many more nutrients. I just got the Orgain today and I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow for a refund - or an exchange, if they have Garden of Life. I'm loyal to them now.
Question:	Is there any information about the heavy metal contents in this product? Mainly Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic
Answer:	I love this protein powder, but recently discovered it failed several tests in 2018 for arsenic and lead/cadmium levels. It was too high in both. Google the independent studies for protein powders and you will see it got an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5. What lowered this from 5 was the presence of arsenic and lead and or cadmium. These things are found in the soil of even Organic products.
Question:	Does it really taste good? Does it taste chalky at any point or does it have a Stevia aftertaste
Answer:	I just started drinking the chocolate protein powder for breakfast this past week on my way to work. The only other products I have to compare it to are the Garden of Life Raw Meal Vanilla and Chocolate SlimFast. To me, SlimFast tastes the best, but I think it's because it's cow-milk based. Secondly would be Orgain Chocolate. I do not find it chalky--I always use Almond Milk--but for me there is a slight aftertaste. It's not horrible and does not linger at all, and the chocolate creaminess definitely makes up for it, I find it really tastes great for not being cow-milk based. Don't even try Garden of Life Raw Meal, that stuff is disgusting.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I blend this with hot coffee
Answer:	Hi Jo, We encourage you to mix our Organic Protein Plant Based Protein Powder in any liquid of your choice, even hot coffee! You can even cook and bake with our protein powders. We kindly advise you refrain from microwaving our products as the radio waves from a microwave may negatively affect the organic, food based nutrients. I hope that helps! In good health, The Orgain Team
Question:	Does anyone else have digestive issues after drinking this
Answer:	Yes, I did for two days in a row. And I only added 1-tbsp to my smoothie, not the 2-scoops that are recommended. It messed with my intestinal tract and bowel movements. I'm going to wait a while and then I may try using it alone in a smoothie with the protein super foods 50, Berry and water or some kind of liquid. I was a whey protein advocate for years and that never bothered me. I'm not a Vegan or Vegetarian, so it's not imperative that I drink this stuff. I need to look into "erythritol". Maybe that is the culprit.
Question:	Please let me know is the seller and where its distribution from? It is in the US based or from overseas
Answer:	I'm happy to share with you what I know. The products are made in Irvine California . With all manufacturing facilities are suppose to be USA .I certainly hope this is true I'd rather not be buying products from other countries.
Question:	Is this a meal replacement
Answer:	YES! I'm Type II diabetic and this product was recommended by my dietician AS A MEAL REPLACEMENT. She also assured me that it tastes good. I'm purchasing some today 07/02/2019. Hope this info helps :-)

User questions & answers

Question:	What are common recipes that people use to make their protein shake using this brand
Answer:	8 oz crushed ice, 16 oz almond milk - choc and vanilla mix - 3Tbs chia seeds, handful of baby spinach, frozen fruit - blueberries, strawberries, banana - 1 cup each, fresh frozen sliced ginger, plain greek yogurt - 1/2 cup. Blend in the Ninja on Food Puree, add 1 - 2 scoops of the protein powder, 1 scoop powdered peanut butter, 2 scoops dried beet powder, walnuts and blend some more. Makes 2 30 oz shakes.
Question:	Does it help with weight loss
Answer:	I’ve lost 40lbs since starting the shakes over a year ago. I drink them every morning for breakfast at work and they start to help suppress my appetite in the evenings. I also don’t crave sugar and carbs as much as I used to. My recipe: 12 oz of water in a shaker, 2 scoops of chocolate powder, and fill the rest of the way with ice. Simple, easy, effective.
Question:	What I have not seen in reviews is if users have seen similar results (strength gains) as to other protein powder products
Answer:	Since going completely vegan, my strength increased markedly. I turned 60 this year, and am lifting more than ever, and still adding on weights. This is the protein powder that I use. But as a stand-alone, there may be better products out there. I supplement it with 5 g of creatine and a glass of carrot or carrot/beet juice before a work-out. That combination kicks butt and gives fast recovery.
Question:	can we mix the powder with regular milk
Answer:	Yes any liquid even juices if u wanted to make a smoothie. I add 1/4 cup of raw oats and I use 1/4 organic Coconut milk/ water and a a squirt of chocolate syrup when it's vanilla. And just hand stir it. It fills me up and it tastes fairly good. At times I rather have a shake vs food to not cook! Plus I make it at night and if I wake up to snack, I find my shake and have that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there vitamin A in this
Answer:	There is no Vitamin A in this Whey Protein.
Question:	How can I find the nutritional breakdown, how many scoops equal a serving and how many shakes each package equals
Answer:	Jayrobb.com has all those facts. This size has 23 servings each having 110calories. One scoop (30 grams - scoop included) and 25 grams protein.
Question:	what are the ingredients
Answer:	Bev, Good question. Last week on Dr. Oz a segment on Protein supplements was examined utilizing results from ConsumerLab.com (subscription required to obtain information on tested products.) Consumer Lab found lead in some and missing ingredients or not what they advertised on websites and their product. Jay Robb was one of the good ones. I have used it for years. Six recipes are on the back of the bag which has a zip lock top. I have tried four of them and all were delicious. The ingredients are: cold-processed cross flow icrofiltered why protein isolate, natural flavor, cocoa powder (natural process), xanthan fum. lecithin (from non-GMO sunflower seeds) and stevia.Subscription to Consumer Lab is well worth it - a huge amount of testing and keeps companies on their toes including the bigger ones like Costco and the smaller ones too. The chief officer of CL's has been on OZ several times now and I believe it will keep companies improving their products. Be reassured the $$ spent on Jay Robb are worth every penny. Forgot to mention that on the back of the bag it offers they obtain their free whey rBgh from small farms throughout the world and when the supplies run short abroad they turn to high quality domestic raw materials as well. I hope this helps.
Question:	difference between whey protein? and whey protein isolate
Answer:	Hi Catherine! There are 3 common types of Whey; Whey Protein Concentrate- WPC, Whey Protein Isolate- WPI and Whey Protein Hydrolysate- WPH. WPC has low levels of fat and carbs with anywhere from 30-90% of protein content. WPI has had all fat and carbs removed and usually contains at least 90% protein. While WPH is pretty much predigested which just means this form is easily absorb. Also just FYI, WPH is good for allergy sufferers because of its decreased allergen potential. Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best. Blessings and Love.

User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered the Vanilla flavored powder, it has a really strong "Play-Doh" type taste and smell. Could this be a bad batch
Answer:	No, that's normal. Mine also smells like Play-Doh to me. I suspect that's just the bean-y proteins in it. It doesn't bother me. Then again, I was one of those kids who used to eat Play-Doh. LOL I usually mix it half-and-half with chocolate powder of another brand and add stuff like banana, yogurt, whatever I happen to feel like. By the time I'm done fixing it up, it tastes fine to me. There's really no protein powder that isn't going to have some taste issue or another, whether it's too sweet or too grainy or leaves an aftertaste or whatever. It would be nice if everything nutritious tasted like cake and cookies and ice cream, but that ain't the way it works, unfortunately. As a vegetarian, I'm just glad I have options like this at all.
Question:	what countries are these ingredients sourced from? Is China one of them
Answer:	It is not clear where their ingredients are sourced from but according to their website, they set a great standard for testing all products for pathogens, microbes, metals, etc. http://www.gardenoflife.com/Our-Company/Good-Manufacturing-Practices.aspx If this link doesn't show up, you can find this information on their website about all the things they test for. I would not be concerned if anything came from China with the extensive testing they do. They once recalled a multivitaming because it came in contact with a soy protein and those sensitive to soy could have had a reaction. I would say that was a pretty good concern and they tackled it. Compared to other companies out there, I wouldn't hesitate to use GOL. Why don't you call them and ask?
Question:	Is this protein cold processed? Would assume so if it is RAW but want to make sure, and also ensure there is no acid-processing
Answer:	I hope this helps..."RAW matters because heat can denature proteins, reducing their availability to your body. But Garden of Life’s Certified Organic plant proteins are different—always gently produced at low temperatures, without any added fillers or carriers, preserving their complete amino acid integrity and whole-food, Certified Organic, Non-GMO goodness".
Question:	Do the products being sold currently still contain the high levels of heavy metals
Answer:	There's a 1 star review from this year (2019) of their Sport version that said it tested high in heavy metals: https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Plant-Based-Protein/product-reviews/B01N7DTD98/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_srt?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar I don't trust Garden of Life brand anymore after Nestle bought it. Not only are the ingredients suspect, there's a lot less volume of powder in the canister than there used to be - total ripoff, and shows no respect for the customer. Read the critical reviews. Nestle destroyed what was once a great brand.

Why Raw Organic Protein

Unlock the nutritive power of living grains and seeds with creamy and delicious Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein powder. It contains Raw Food-Created fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and supports digestive health and function with live probiotics and protein-digesting enzymes. Raw matters because heat can denature proteins, reducing their availability to your body. With 22g of muscle-building complete protein, this vegan protein powder is Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified with no added fillers or carriers.

22g Plant Protein

Raw Organic Protein contains various high-quality, plant-derived sources of Certified Organic protein that is low temperature processed (not pasteurized) and can be used by anyone, including vegans. It provides the high-quality, body-ready amino acid profile that is found in other sources of protein such as whey, but is a 100% plant-based protein powder, with organically farmed ingredients such as Organic Peas, Organic Sprouted Brown Rice and Organic Amaranth Sprout, to name a few.

13 Organic Sprouted Grains, Seeds & Legumes

Sprouting is a process that has been used for centuries to make seeds and grains easier to digest—and to increase the bioavailability of their nutrients. That's why 13 of the plant proteins contained in our Raw Organic Protein blend undergo a sprouting process whereby the seeds and grains are germinated and brought to life.

3 Billion CFU Live Probiotics & 13 Non-GMO Enzymes

The importance of consuming live probiotics and enzymes with your protein is critical. In order for your body to get the most out of it, you must first break down and then absorb the protein. Certain enzymes, known as proteases, help digest protein so that your body can properly use it. Probiotics aid digestion by making it easier for dietary nutrients from our diets to be absorbed—and later used—by the body.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do the ingredients say milk when it’s a vegan product
Answer:	The Gold Standard 100% Plant protein pictured at left is vegan and does not contain milk. If you look at the selection bar at top right of Amazon page, you can choose Gold Standard 100% Whey which is a dairy (milk) based protein. Two very different products both made to the highest quality standards.
Question:	Manufacturer ? only please: is there maltodextrin in this? often falls under”natural” flavors in many protein powders. my body can not tolerate it
Answer:	Went to the website, only shows the ingredient list which includes: “Natural Flavors” listed as an ingredient. Not transparent at all, I suggest going with an alternate brand that will be transparent vs this brand that offers vague misleading information.
Question:	Does this product contain whey
Answer:	No it does not. Whey is a dairy protein which comes from cow's milk, not from plants. The protein sources in Gold Standard 100% Plant are organic Pea, Brown Rice and Sacha Inchi proteins.
Question:	What is "natural flavor"? i have found that "natural flavor" can actually be a hidden source of msg. what does "natural flavor" mean here
Answer:	The product is sweetened with plant-based stevia. There are no artificial flavors or coloring, and we did not add any MSG to the formula.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this product "pop" for THC on a drug screening
Answer:	It should not as this is a protein powder, that should not contain THC in it.
Question:	has this been tested for heavy metals
Answer:	There’s some research on this. The Sun Warrior Protein, Warrior Blend is said to have the lowest of all protein powders, probably because it’s pea based.
Question:	What is in this product that causes it to need a prop 65 warning
Answer:	I have tried to find the specific ingredient that may have required the prop 65 warning but was unable to. I have read and believe that in plant based foods toxins do occur naturally in the soil where organic crops are grown. Prop 65 is very poorly written and gives us very little guidance. The label on Sunwarrior Protein refers specifically to women that are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. If you are a person that is concerned please make wise choices.
Question:	I generally dislike pea protein powders b/c they're so heavy and retain a pea-taste. Is this blend "heavy" with a pea flavor
Answer:	I buy the chocolate and Vanilla flavors and neither tastes anything like peas... I originally purchased 5 different plant based proteins and Sunwarrior was the best tasting.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried the Proteins & Greens vs the regular Protein Smoothie in Chocolate? Curious if the higher protein variation tastes/mixes differently
Answer:	I have used both, but Vanilla, not Chocolate. They both mix very well. I actually use it alone, but also in a multi green smoothie I make. I have found it extremely digestible without the rumbling and gas from whey products. Highly recommend them all! Great company!
Question:	Looking for a lower sodium product, anything around 40 mg
Answer:	Vega protein & greens has 270 mg of sodium
Question:	Hello. I did not like the gritty taste. May I return the open canister
Answer:	Probably
Question:	It says "non dairy" yet some of the labeling in the photos says "dairy" - and no, not "manufactured in
Answer:	We do not use dairy as an ingredient in our nutritional shake formulations, and in fact all of our products are certified vegan through Vegan Action. However not all our products are produced in an exclusive dairy-free facility. Safety is paramount to us at Vega, therefore all our facilities are 3rd party audited and follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Procedure) practices to ensure all allergen ingredients are stored away from non-allergen ingredients, and strict sanitation procedures are followed, to ensure risk for cross-contamination is minimized.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much tumeric is in each serving
Answer:	Hi Brad B. Thanks for reaching out. The ingredients are listed in descending order, by weight. We do not disclose the exact amount of turmeric in our formula. please feel free to reach us at [email protected] for further questions. Thanks! Kim McDevitt, MPH RD, Vega Sr Education Specialist
Question:	I honestly am between the flavors vanilla or berry? i dont want something super sweet and after reading the comments i cant decide? help
Answer:	Hmm, I've heard Vanilla is really good. I haven't tried it yet but I'd imagine it's less sweet than berry. Have you thought of the mocha flavor? It's super delicious and definitely not very sweet, just creamy!
Question:	Should this only be used as a recovery drink
Answer:	If you're question is whether or not this is a "pre workout" drink - it's not. It should be taken whenever you would need PROTEIN not necessarily exclusive to "recovery". Early morning with breakfast, after workouts, or in the evening as your last meal.
Question:	What is the difference between this product and the original
Answer:	Without going into too much detail there are some added ingredients like tart cherries and turmeric. The new formula has more bcaa's however, to me the original formula tastes better and the original formula has less calories which matters to me. The new formula has 5 more grams of protein than the original, but for me that's not worth the extra calories. Hope this helps.
