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:	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:	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:	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:	The label says there is 15mg of Cholesterol per serving! Where is the Cholesterol coming from
Answer:	I contacted Naked Nutrition directly. They responded stating that the first labels were imprinted incorrectly. The new labels have been changed to show zero cholesterol. There is only one ingredient in their pea protein and that is peas. It is vegan. Hope this helps.
Question:	Can anyone tell me about the likelihood of this product containing a high level of heavy metals? I have read a lot about brown rice having that
Answer:	The product is great. I don't know about heavy metals, but I think if the product was sourced from China the probability of heavy metals would be more. Since the pea in this product is from US and Canada, hopefully it is just as safe/unsafe as the regular agriculutual produce you/I consume in US. It is non-GMO as it says on the label. I do like the product a lot and like the fact that is sourced in north America. That's the reason I bought it
Question:	Is this company still processing it's pea protein in china? i would like to buy it when this changes to north america. thanks
Answer:	Here was the response I received. Hello Diane, The peas are shipped to Asia because they are primarily used in making noodles. The pea protein is a byproduct of this process and the demand for the noodle material is much higher than the protein in Asia. Our protein is tested at least 3 times before it is ever packaged so are very confident in its quality. Please let us know if you have any other questions Have a great day!
Question:	Where is the pea "sourced" from? Many products I've seen package the Chinese "sourced" pea protein
Answer:	According to their community forum (Jan 2020), Naked Pea is still processed is China. Another Amazon brand, NorCal Organic, has pea protein grown in Canada, processed and packaged in the USA.

Flavor Pure

We believe that you should not have to choose between better health and great taste. So we developed a unique method for blending natural wholefood ingredients for amazing taste and texture.

This confluence of natural organic sweeteners, flavors and texture enhancement is called 'Flavor Pure' and you will not find it in any other nutritional supplement.

Select Source

Frustrated by the endless parade of products all made from the same highly processed mass-produced ingredients like soy, wheat gluten, rice, and gelatin (collagen) which had been used as fillers by industrial food companies for years, we wanted something better.

This inspired us to create a process to systematically evaluate hundreds of plant species to bring you the most nutrient-dense garden fresh ingredients from around the world.

Purity Promise

Most nutritional supplements are not manufactured by the brands who sell them. The development and manufacturing is left to an anonymous 3rd party.

All PlantFusion products are produced at our own facility right here in the USA.

We are in the process of building a platform to share processes, standards, and even product and ingredient testing that we are excited to show you.

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:	Can I mix the classic vanilla with the classic plus chocolate to make up one serving in a smoothie
Answer:	Might be a good idea. The vanilla tasted so chalky I mixed it with another brand just to use it up.
Question:	What's the "plus" in the product as opposed to the regular kind that I usually get? Is it the scoop
Answer:	Every protein powder comes with a scoop. It might be all the extra superfoods in it. Check out their web sight to find out.
Question:	Is this raw
Answer:	Yes, this is raw.
Question:	How is the sun warrior vanilla,plus different from the non-plus vanilla
Answer:	From the manufacturer "Plus builds on Sunwarrior’s original rice protein by adding in the amino acid balancing effects of peas‚ chia seeds‚ quinoa‚ and amaranth" So if you were already adding/buying something like chia seeds, you can stop, because they're already in here.
