Rating: Average
- 3 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Garden of Life Proteins Raw Organic Fit Protein Chocolate Cacao Powder positions itself as a cleaner food option amidst a market saturated with less healthy alternatives. This product prides itself on a robust blend of organic plant proteins, including pea protein, sprouted brown rice protein, and various seed and sprout combinations. It leverages the nutritional benefits of a superfood blend, with organic baobab fruit and cinnamon, and includes a probiotic and enzyme blend aimed at supporting digestive health.
The product is non-GMO, a crucial factor in its favor. However, it loses points for the inclusion of stevia as an added sugar and for having unspecified organic chocolate flavors, which raises questions about their origins and processing. The presence of rum as a potentially harmful additive further impacts its overall score.
This protein powder also contains an array of vitamins sourced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures and chromium, which is derived from brown rice chelate. These ingredients suggest a commitment to providing a fortified nutritional profile. The product’s organic cacao base and inclusion of sea salt also reflect an intention to offer a product that aligns with cleaner eating principles.
While the product does not boast a perfect score, its high concentration of organic ingredients and the absence of GMOs are commendable. The deductions made are based on the presence of added sugars and potential additives, which are areas for improvement. Nonetheless, the Garden of Life Proteins Raw Organic Fit Protein Chocolate Cacao Powder provides a substantial option for those seeking a plant-based protein supplement with additional health-focused ingredients. It stands as an average choice for consumers aiming to incorporate more organic and non-GMO products into their diet.
