My Favorite Plant-Based Protein Powder
I'm about ready to order my third container of Sunwarrior's Classic Plus Protein Powder as I absolutely love it! I always order the Natural flavor (no added flavors or stevia) and place one scoop of the protein powder and approximately 10 oz. nondairy milk (soy, almond, or both), 1/2 tbsp. cacao powder, 1 tsp. maca powder, 1/2 tbsp. maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract into a blender bottle and shake. Sometimes I put together the shake the night before, keep it in the fridge overnight, and drink it after my morning workout (the shake tends to thicken a little after being refrigerated overnight). To me, the taste and texture are better than others I've tried - Garden of Life and Vega Sport - but I'm not that picky. This protein powder also mixes well, does not have a grainy or chalky texture, and has a relatively neutral flavor (protein powders are what they are - don't expect it to taste like anything other than a protein powder, however). I have tried Sunwarrior's Warrior Blend (Natural) before, but the two taste fairly similar to me; after finishing the Warrior Blend container, I chose to order the Classic Plus version because it contains a slightly higher content of each amino acid and therefore has a slightly better amino acid profile.
