GAT's Plant Protein

**Elvia1023** · 08-18-2017, 09:18 PM

I regularly read threads on non dairy or vegan protein's over the years. I have tried a few in my time and most tasted awful. I recently bought this and I have to state I am impressed. I figured I would post just incase anyone is looking for a decent plant and/or non dairy based protein powder.

It's made with pea isolate, organic brown rice protein, artichoke leaf powder, quinoa sprout powder and coconut pulp powder. It's sweeted with stevia leaf extract and 2g organic cane sugar.

I have the chocolate peanut flavour and it tastes really good (even mixed with just water). I am not a fan of stevia and can taste that but the flavouring masks everything really well.

I also tried their greens powder and that is great too (mixed berry). Neither product causes any stomach distress for me. Here is the ingredient list for the plant protein...

Most veggie proteins are crap, they do not come close to comparing to the amino acid profile of whey, whole milk, beef, or egg proteins with whey having the most leucine and whole milk protein having the greatest amino acid profile.

Pea protein isolate is actually a very good protein source. But sure I agree that other proteins are superior. I just figured I would mention as many are vegetarian/vegan or some guys simply don't react well to many different protein sources. Although if anyone is the later I do find high dosed EAA's would be the superior option.
