Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Orgain Organic Protein™ Plant Based Protein Powder in Churro Caramel Swirl is positioned as a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food products. It appeals to health-conscious consumers with its blend of organic plant proteins, including organic pea protein, organic brown rice protein, and organic chia seed. The product prides itself on using non-GMO ingredients, which aligns with the preferences of a growing number of consumers who are wary of genetically modified organisms in their food supply.
The protein powder also includes an organic creamer base, which comprises organic acacia, organic high oleic sunflower oil, and other organic components that contribute to its creamy texture. This aspect of the formulation is tailored to enhance the consumer’s experience without relying on conventional additives.
However, the presence of added sweeteners such as organic erythritol and organic stevia extract (Reb A) leads to some deductions in its green leaf rating. While these sweeteners are recognized for their lower caloric content compared to traditional sugars, their inclusion reflects the product’s compromise between healthfulness and palatability.
Additionally, the product contains ingredients that may raise concerns for some consumers. Specifically, the inclusion of organic natural flavors and thickeners like xanthan gum might be perceived as detracting from the product’s purity, despite their widespread acceptance in the food industry. These components, while common, are often scrutinized by those seeking the cleanest food options available.
In choosing the Orgain Organic Protein™ Plant Based Protein Powder, consumers are offered a product that balances organic ingredients with considerations for taste and texture. While it does not reach the pinnacle of what some may consider the cleanest food product due to the inclusion of certain additives and sweeteners, it maintains a commitment to non-GMO and predominantly organic components, earning it a moderate green leaf rating.
