Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaves rating, the Orgain Organic Protein™ Plant Based Protein Powder in Chocolate Peanut Butter is a mid-range option for those seeking cleaner food products. This protein powder offers a blend of organic plant proteins, including pea, brown rice, and chia seed, which are complemented by organic cocoa and defatted peanut flour for flavor. It also includes an organic creamer base and sweeteners like erythritol and stevia.
The product prides itself on being made with non-GMO ingredients, which aligns with the preferences of health-conscious consumers. However, it does include added sweeteners such as organic erythritol and stevia extract, which are subtracted from its overall score due to their classification as added sugars. Furthermore, the presence of natural flavors and xanthan gum, which are flagged as potentially harmful additives, also detracts from its clean food status.
The product’s use of organic ingredients is a positive aspect, yet it falls short of being entirely organic, a factor that is reflected in the green leaves rating. The inclusion of potassium chloride, sea salt, and organic guar gum, along with the aforementioned sweeteners and additives, rounds out the ingredient list.
While the Orgain Organic Protein™ Plant Based Protein Powder might not stand out as exceptional within the crowded market of health-focused food options, it does hold its ground as an average choice. It manages to balance the inclusion of organic and non-GMO ingredients with some drawbacks related to added sugars and additives. Consumers looking for an entirely clean product might need to look elsewhere, but for those who are satisfied with a moderate level of health-conscious ingredients, this protein powder could meet their needs.
