Ingredient Score:
The Orgain Organic Protein™ + Oatmilk Plant Based Protein Powder in Vanilla flavor earns a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves. This product offers a plant-based protein blend, which includes organic pea protein, organic hydrolyzed oat powder, organic brown rice protein, and organic chia seed. It is a product free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), aligning with consumer preference for non-GMO food items.
Despite its plant-based ingredients, the product does not hold an organic certification. The inclusion of organic natural flavors and organic Reb A (Stevia Extract) has influenced the product’s score, as these ingredients, particularly the natural flavors, raise concerns about their potential health impacts. The presence of added sweeteners like Stevia, even though it is a natural and calorie-free option, leads to a deduction due to the preference for products without added sweeteners.
The use of sea salt and organic monk fruit extract contributes to the product’s overall ingredient profile, offering flavor without artificial additives. The Orgain Organic Protein Blend™ is the foundation of this product, providing a diverse range of proteins that support muscle maintenance and recovery.
This protein powder positions itself in the market as a healthier alternative to many conventional options, focusing on plant-based ingredients and non-GMO claims. However, the lack of an organic label and the presence of added sweeteners and natural flavors have affected its standing. The score reflects a balance between its commendable features and the areas where it does not meet the highest standards for clean eating.
Consumers seeking a mid-range product in the realm of health and sustainability may find this protein powder suitable for their needs. It stands as a compromise between the highest quality organic products and those laden with artificial ingredients and GMOs. The green leaf rating signifies that while there is room for improvement, the product still offers a number of positive attributes for those looking to maintain a cleaner diet.
