Active Ingredients
Pea Protein
Pea protein is arguably one of the best vegan protein sources for bodybuilding.
This is due to its high content of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) – the building blocks most crucial for muscle development. It has a BCAA content which is comparable to that of whey (1).
Rice Protein
Rice protein is another high-quality vegan source of protein.
Although it’s not as good for muscle-building as pea protein, it provides a much smoother texture and taste, as well as providing other amino acids which lack in pea protein (2).
Who Takes It?

How to Take
Mix 2 heaped tablespoon (25g) with 250-300mL water or milk, and consume either post workout or as desired.
Side Effects
Excess protein consumption may worsen an existing kidney or liver condition.
Pros
- Vegan friendly
- Naturally flavoured
- Contains rice protein to smoothen taste and texture.
Cons
- Appears to only be available in one flavour
- Rice protein may slightly dilute the usefulness of the protein content for muscle development.
Conclusion
Organic Vegan Protein is an excellent source of protein for those who prefer a plant-based diet.
It uses high-quality protein sources which contain adequate levels of BCAAs for muscle development, however the addition of rice protein may make it slightly less effective than pure pea or whey protein.
Rice protein may, however, give it a smoother taste than other pea protein powders.
