✗ A blend with a middling protein-per-scoop ratio
✗ Lower protein density per serving than the wheys above it
✗ Plant-based formulas as a class carried higher heavy-metal readings in current lab testing
✗ Not among the powders Consumer Reports cleared for low lead, and its pea-and-rice protein base is the type that skewed high in lead in independent testing

After three weeks of daily shakes and rigorous testing, we can confidently say Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder delivers on its promise of clean, sustainable nutrition without the gritty texture or chalky aftertaste that plagues many plant-based alternatives. We found the Vanilla Bean and Creamy Chocolate Fudge varieties blend smoothly into both water and plant milks, offering 21 grams of pea and brown rice protein per scoop that kept us satisfied between meals and supported post-workout recovery. For anyone making the shift toward plant-based eating or simply looking to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing protein quality, this powder checks the boxes that matter.

While the price per serving is in line with the average $1 to $2 cost of other supplements in the category, this powder earns our “Best Budget” moniker due to its impressive subscription option that can save athletes 15% off their orders. Other proteins typically offer a 5% or 10% discount for such services.
