The Vegan Gym is on a mission to help 1,000,000 vegans get into the best shape of their lives because we believe that the more healthy, fit vegans there are in the world, the faster veganism will spread. Let’s work together to inspire change, spread compassion, and challenge the status quo.
The information contained on this TH-cam Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this TH-cam Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.
Honestly though.... I think heavy metal testing is the most important thing. I'd rather have a protein powder that tastes completely gross but is safe than one that's delicious and contains lead.
Yep!! Agree 100%!!
Which one do you think is the best? I can’t find good studies on which vegan protein has the least metals. Any suggestions?
@@EviEhvee you know.... I haven't looked into it. I suppose I'd follow up with the brands that are willing to be transparent about their test results and see what they've found. I think protein powder can be really handy, but I myself have actually been adding beans to my smoothies. I know it sounds wacky, but I can't taste them. They just make smoothies thicker and they have the benefit of being a whole food, plus they're super economical! I cook a big batch in my instant pot and keep it in the fridge. A cup of beans (granted this is for a huge smoothie. You can also use silken tofu.) plus a serving of hemp seeds, and that's just about 25 grams of protein! It's not as simple or portable as protein powder, but it's way cheaper and I don't have to worry about heavy metals.
Goodness, that was a long response. I hope that's helpful.
Johanna Bisceglia thanks for the tips! I’ll look into everything you mentioned haha
@@EviEhvee no prob! Best of luck! 😁
Thank you for taking the time to do this. It would take a lifetime to figure it out on one's own
You're very welcome! Happy to help!
Check out our NEWEST 2023 Vegan Protein Powder Review with over 3X more protein powders than this video! th-cam.com/video/nDlqTev5Dl4/w-d-xo.html
what if i dont have Facebook
do u got still got left overs i would love to try them
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 23 and on October 29th of this year (2019) I got diagnosed with stage 2A Hodgkins lymphoma. My first round of chemo was the day after Thanksgiving and my second round is tomorrow (once every two weeks for 5 months). I've been trying to change my diet. Slowly, but surely and vegan protein powders were on top of my list. So I appreciate the amount of effort you guys put into this for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊
Wow, Alexia, thank you for sharing your journey toward veganism. I also went vegan after a cancer diagnosis at the age of 22 (in 2013). I know this might sound crazy, but I believe cancer is the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm now happier, healthier, more fit, and my life is filled with purpose. Stay strong. You'll get through this and you will learn a lot about life and yourself through this journey. Please DM us on Instagram or Facebook (or send me an email) with your address and I'll send you a copy of my book. And don't hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions. Much love, Leif
Thanks for sharing your story, as well! I've actually already started viewing life like. It has already changed my life for the better. I spent many years hating my life and not taking care of myself and now it's the opposite. Interesting how that works. lol That's very kind of you! I really appreciate that! ❤ I'll try to reach out on Facebook.
I hope you're doing much better!
@@WatchingNinja I am, actually. In a couple of months I'll be cancer free for a full year. Thank you! ❤
@@alexiamartinez5106 so happy to hear this!!!
I sat outside a grocery store, where I was going to pick up some protein powder watching this for 20 minutes. Thank you so much, its obvious this took a lot of prep work and time to make. Honestly, thank you so much!
That's awesome! 😄 So glad it was helpful! What did you end up getting?
THANK YOU! Finally a Vegan TH-cam(s) who are COMPLETELY honest about how VIVO Life tastes!😂
Also what is your opinion about the heavy metals found in Vega's protein powders? Normally I would have thought that it was some kind of "anti-vegan" agenda, but Mic the Vegan made a video a while back saying that Vega really needed to clean up their protein.
@@theveganmusclemommy Thanks so much!! We'll always tell it like it is :-) Vega was acquired by Danone S.A. (Dannon if you live in the US) a few years ago. Their quality has noticeably dropped since then. We reached out to Vega and they told us that the Clean Label Project testing was wrong and misleading, but they wouldn't share their third party heavy metals testing results. That's just absurd. We only use Vega if we're in a pinch and there are no other options (or if we're doing a protein review haha). Thanks for the support!!
@@TheVeganGym wow! I am glad I found this... I recently got suspicious after seeing Coffee Vega at Costco 🤔. I've been using it since the super gritty original.
Vivo protein is more of an acquired taste, and due to the nature of their (natural) ingredients, each batch can taste slightly different from the previous one, just like raw fruits and vegetables.
The strong taste can be attributed to the the turmeric, which is why you should mix more than 10 oz of water to dilute it properly. -I find that ~16 oz of water works best.
When it comes down to it, there simply isn't any other vegan protein that comes close to Vivolife. Some might taste "better" because of the artificial flavors and sweeteners, but Vivo beats them in overall quality.
It should also be noted that Amazon was selling some really old (foul) batches that were well past their "best buy" date for quite some time. Try to buy direct.
@AmpEdition well I'm kind of confused because Vivo has the heavy metal results on there website. I think these bros just forgot about Vivo in this test accidentally
All ranking details at 18:21
Thank you! I was going to take notes and create a table like this, then I saw your comment!
Unsung hero 🙇♀️
Salute
Better to watch the full video too so the people who actually put the work into and created the video get paid from TH-cam.
@@Ardisi2113 That's very kind of you man, but we don't monetize any of our videos. We just want to provide free value for people :)
Great video, helped me saving a lot of my time. It Could definitely see the amount of effort put into this video, thanks for it!!!!!
You're so welcome!! We're happy to help you!! Thank you for your comment and support! With gratitude, Leif :-)
This needs more views I was almost going to buy some the bad ones too!
Thank you! I'm glad we saved you! With gratitude, Leif
you need more protein
Me too.
definitely informative!
But how much did this video cost 😱 cuz das alotta protein! Wow thank you, much needed video
We spent about $1,200 USD on protein and editing for this video. Thanks for stopping by!
@@mikeskylark1594 It's not crazy at all, I can directly attribute a 12X ROI to this video and it's only been 4 and a half months. And we've gotten far more than that in goodwill and other opportunities. It's amazing what happens when your business plan is all about leading with massive value. I actually went to school for corporate finance and mechanical engineering so I'm a numbers guy 😉
This video definitely deserves more views. I was looking at purchasing Plant Fusion..this confirms it.
Went to my local natural store last night and ran into the plant fusion one glad I made a good choice! Thanks for your reviews!
Awesome!! Great choice!! You're very welcome :-)
I dont care about the taste or how much it cost, which one is the healthiest??
Exactly.
you say that now but are you really gonna eat/drink something that taste like shit EVERY single day? You can definitely get a great tasting + healthy protein if you just do the work and research.
@@nasirrumpart644 This.
Well said.
Your diet/goals have to be maintainable.
I've choked down terrible shakes... to the point I dont even want to HAVE a shake and I start avoiding them.. avoiding shakes, means I dont hit my macros... meaning I dont grow.
Vivo!!! They heavy metal test and I like the flavor
hemp of course
Finally someone that admits vivo taste bad haha all their affiliates swear it’s the best but I have a full bag that I will probably never use!
We love everything their company stands for, but yes, we were pretty disappointed with the taste after all the amazing reviews we have heard. This was a major surprise! Thank you for your comment and support Teresa! We'll always tell it like it is ;-)
Did find the tast got waaaaayy better with plant milk, but thats just me and may apply to plenty other powders.
@@AskesisGrappling Plant milk definitely improves the taste across the board! I think our analysis would have been nearly identical. :-)
@@TheVeganGym Agree! Vivo tastes so bad. I tried 2 different flavors based on vegan you tubers. So expensive, too!
vivi taste sand from the beach...is crap
Just began to include protein shakes in my routine for the first time and decided to go with PlantFusion.
Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this, you guy’s are amazing.
Best wishes always!
You're so welcome!
It's funny cause on other vegan channels vivo is so highly talked about, it's so friggin expensive too, awesome vid guys
Yeah, honestly we're pretty confused now haha. Apparently we aren't the only ones who aren't fans of the taste based on other comments, but we've heard nothing but rave reviews from vegan "influencers." Thanks so much! :-)
our protein is better (ha ha
I think maybe we are hearing about it by people who are getting commission 🤔
I just order from vivo and now I am worried 🤣😂🤣😂
@@renaldoaggrey7060 if you look everyone is being commissioned to talk about vivo rip
Great job guys! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Hopefully the Top 5 companies reach out to you as I'm sure a lot of people ordered their powders after this review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Natalie! We ended up getting discount codes for the top 2 proteins in this review and we put those in the description to help our subscribers save a few bucks. We appreciate your comment and view! With gratitude, Leif
including mine (ha ha)
I got acne problem with regular whey, was thinking to change to plant based protein. Thank you for the reviews guys, this is very helpful 👏
Which one did you go with and did it work for you? I’m on the same problem
@@adrew23p which one you opted??
This is SO great. Thanks for taking the time to go through all of this! I cannot tell you the amount of hours I’ve spent trying to investigate all the things most people know nothing (aka couldn’t care less) about.
***Question for ya though:
I know you guys don’t consider Stevia as an artificial sweetener. However, as someone who definitely has a sensitivity to it, I was wondering if you guys found any of the protein powders tested that did NOT have stevia in their ingredients?
The Naked Nutrition pea protein powder does not have stevia. It uses organic coconut sugar. I haven't tried the vanilla yet, but I thought the chocolate one was decent when mixed with oat milk. At least it tastes better than hemp protein powders that I've tried in the past. I like how both the chocolate and vanilla flavors only have three total ingredients (pea protein, coconut sugar, and cacao or vanilla flavor). And the unflavored version is just one ingredient, pea protein.
Loved this video. I watched it to see if the Naked Protein was actually as big as I thought. It is. Thanks for showing other options. Vegan protein is my go to. It doesn’t upset my stomach and it doesn’t make my body feel weird.
I'm so glad it was helpful!! Vegan protein is awesome! 🌱
This video deserves way more views. Thank you for saving me money. I’ve tried only 6 protein powders on the list, but thank you!!
You guys are doing a great job. Love to see you having fun with one another and enjoying each other’s company. One small critique I have is with audio. If you could place a boom mic out of frame I think your channel will greatly benefit in quality. You could even use a lav mic. Again great video
Thank y'all so much for taking the time and spending the money to conduct this research! I didn't even know about the heavy metal aspect, so thanks for pointing that out. This saved me a lot of time researching!
Amaaziingg videeoo. Veryy conccisse, detailed and straight to all the importannt factoors. Thank youu!
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 🙌💚
Awesome job guys. You just added 1 more loyal subscriber. I would love to see you guys review "Genuine Health" Fermented Vanilla protein powder in a future video. You guys Rock!
Thank you so much John! We really appreciate your kind words and support! We'll check out that protein when we do our next review video! With gratitude, Leif
This was by far the best video I've ever seen for Protein & helped me decide immediately!! I didn't need anything else, you guys tested for everything! Thank You
You're so welcome Linus!! Thank you for your kind words and comments! With gratitude, Leif
i personally LOVE vivo life salted maca caramel😍
the ingredients are bomb, company ethics are bomb, macros are great, flavour is strong.
it has just a little bit of that grainy texture, but that's a thing vegan powders have.
I'm glad you enjoy it! We love their company too, but this review was 100% honest and genuine
Wow. Guys, this is one of the most excellent reviews of ANYTHING I've seen on TH-cam. Well done and thanks so much!
Wow, thank YOU!
You should review Ghost Lifestyle Vegan Protein powder! Currently using Sunwarrior Warrior blend.
Yes, we definitely should! We'll include it in the next review :-)
I use the ghost whey. Didn’t know they had a vegan one. How do you like it?
J R doesn’t taste vegan what’s so ever. pretty good
J R I just bought the vegan pancake batter flavor from Ghost. Was terrible will be returning it.
Ralphy Perdomo gonna try it next!
Thank you for all the effort that you put into this video. I imagine this had helped many people make and educated decision as well as well as saving many people from the deleterious effects of heavy metals that could possibly be in some of these powders. Amazing job!!!!
Thanks Danny!! Appreciate your support!! 💪🌱
Think I’ll try the Plant Fusion Protein Powder - thank you for saving us the time and money by sharing your results!!
You're very welcome! Good choice!!
AWESOME video mates!!!! This really solidified in choosing the right one for me! Keep it up guys, this kind of content is gold
I have used true nutrition for years and they never fail. What I love about them for my vegan friends is that you can actually add essential amino acids into the mix along with a multivitamin into the protein powder along with many other customizations. Sure I admit its not the best tasting, but you know exactly what is in it and it is literally the cleanest protein.
But they didn’t disclose their heavy metal analysis or did they?
I’m so happy I watched this. Last time the guy that work in the pharmacy recommended me the Vega all in one , he told me the Vega SPORT was not that high in protein and other stuff. Anyway, thanks for the vid !
You're very welcome! :-) Glad to help!
Omg!!! This is so much fun to watch, I am only on min 2 and I am Sooo exciteddd! :)))
Hahaha awesome!! We're so glad that you're enjoying it!! :-)
That's crazy, I picked the number one protein first try! Just about to order more before i watched this
Yeah it’s crazy you’d pick literally the only protein powder in the video that contains both artificial sweeteners and heavy metals
I use the Naked Nutrition Pea Protein Powder with no flavor. I found that one to be the best because I can easily mask the chalking taste with the fruited and veggies I use in my smoothies. But I will definitely try the other vegan powders that scored the top 4 from your list.
Guys, you put so much work in this video... Ouauuu! Thank you.
You're so welcome!! It was a lot of work, but totally worth it because we know it will help a lot of people :-) Thank you so much for your support!! We really appreciate it!
truly a great review. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. now i will take this info and have a test taste of a few according to my interest. thanks a lot gentlemen
After reading and watching reviews, I decided to try Blessed. First of all, it''s pretty expensive and one scoop, compared to other powders, is huge. So, in comparison, ir is much more expensive per serving. It is very chalky and since I am sensitive to stevia, there is a pronounced after taste. I was also disappointed that the jars are only half filled. That is such a horrible waste. For a comoany who sells vegan products, I would expect you be to be more conscious of waste and packaging. I will use what I have ordered, but I highly doubt I will reorder.
Thankfully I saw this comment before ordering from blessed lol
The most honest review I’ve seen. Finally! Real reviews!!!
We are real! 😆 Happy to help!! 🌱💪
Another great video guys! I’ve never seen such a comprehensive review of so many different vegan proteins and I really appreciate it. I’ve been a long time fan and this is one of my favorite pieces of content so far. Also, the taste testing part had me cracking up. 😂 Keep up the good work fellas!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!! We really appreciate it! Please let us know if there are any other topics you'd like to see us cover in future videos! :-)
Clean Machine is my absolute favorite. Not only does it taste amazing, but it is loaded with some of the highest nutritional value available. You guys should get in touch with Geoff Palmer at Clean Machine and do an interview/podcast - I’d love to hear what you all have to say conversationally. He’s a super nice guy and is doing what’s absolutely right for the vegan movement! Thanks for the videos and I love the podcast!
Semper Fi I'm a Marine vet too. Going vegan because the VA damn near killed me trying to fix me!
That's awesome, Angela! Semper Fi! If you need any help making the transition, check out our website for free resources (www.thevegangym.com/) and shoot us a message on IG or FB if you have any questions. We'd love to help you thrive as a vegan!
Appreciate all the work and research that has gone into this 💪🏾
Vivo state on their website they’re tested for heavy metals... wonder why they won’t share their analysis then :/
Yall are my favorite youtubers now. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
would love to see KOS, Ghost and Olly in the next round :)
just what I was about to do in a spreadsheet, thank you guys
Of course! Thanks for watching! Please be sure to check out our newest 2023 review where we did over 70 protein powders! th-cam.com/video/YJLOb5Rabfg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this very informative video! It would be cool to see you make a video of you and a bunch of friends blind taste test the higher tier of powders in the list just to get a bigger sample size. Maybe you could try the KOS protein powder too!
This was an awesome video guys! If you all do a part 2 and try new ones please include vegan smart protein!
Thank you!! We'll add that to the list of proteins to add for next time! Thanks!
Finally honest vivo life review. I thought something was wrong with my taste buds. Reminds me of that ass burger episode of south park
HAHAHAHAHAHA that's freaking hilarious man and so true! Gotta love Cartman hahaha
The vivolife salted maca caramel made me throw up , I bought two bags and got screwed over. Don’t buy their protein powder tastes like barf
I love how they listed all of them right off the bat and then went in depth, beautiful
Thanks Carla! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
So entertaining and informative! 10/10!!
Thank you so much Carla!! We really appreciate the kind words and support! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!
great review. you all should do this again with new popular vegan proteins that are on the market!
We are in the process of getting new content produced right now so stay tuned for more videos soon!
Thank you for making this video I was like man there’s so many choices but I’m a mom of 4 kids so I have to spend my money wisely lol
glad to help! :)
Damn i see why you got 4 kids lol you fine😍
This is one of the best of vegan protein I ever watched. Thankyou
Thank you for checking it out and leaving a comment!
I love Orgain! Even with water no chalky taste and really good with bananas blended 🌱
Sha L what flavor?
Yes ! Vanilla all day 💛
I’ve tried chocolate and and vanilla both good !
God bless you guys- as a vegan, I have tried a few of these and frankly I felt bad pouring them down the garbage is postal.
Nancy Newman Garbage disposal?
I never pour my down the garbage. You could of added some water, almond flour, some type of sweetner and wallah you have cookie dough for your family or friends they'll remember you giving them it for a long time (ha ha
You're so welcome, Nancy!! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
There’s a heavy metal testing report you can download on Vivo’s website.
Yes, there is! There's a comment thread where we talk about it in detail. Here's the link for anyone who is curious: www.vivolife.com/products/perform
@@TheVeganGym So if there is why the 5 points?
Wow y’all did a lot of work for us. Thank you!!
Amazing video!! 🙌 however i though that vivo life was known for being tested for and open about heavy metals!?
I tried VIVO life and absolutely hated it and no matter what kind of recipe I tried to hide it in it was very unpalatable to me so it was nice to see that plant fusion which is one I just got at the grocery store on a whim actually does really well in a lot of these categories. It is very smooth and very fine and easy to add to a smoothie or two pancakes and my only complaint is that it has a very strong Stevia flavor but if you are already used to Stevia then you’ll have no issues. I’ll just stick with that one because it’s very hard for me to get enough protein because I have very severe IBS and a lot of food triggers and sensitivities but that protein powder doesn’t bother me
Thank you so much Guys :) this is an awesome video, there are a lot of videos on vegan protein but not like this one, this is the "ONE" everyone needs to watch, you made my life so much easier and saved me a lot of time!!! you guys are AWESOME!!!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words Aura! We really appreciate it! I hope you'll find our other content to bring you value too :-) With gratitude, Leif
Thanks for your effort in reviewing all of these! So helpful
Vega Sport (vanilla) is my holy grail 🙌🏼 I’m so hyped it made it in your guys’ top 5 😂
I also wanted to note that I am not vegan, but, I find plant-based protein powder to be much more pleasant as it makes my body feel great after a good workout, in comparison to the traditional Whey protein most of my gym buddies chug. Plant-based has made a huge difference in how my body feels and I’m hoping I can slowly transition to lessening meats and animal products I consume to really give my body the proper nutrients it needs in a much healthier way! Awesome video, guys! The taste-test reactions were hilarious to watch. 😂
That's awesome! I'm really glad you found a protein powder that works well for you! Plant-based protein is AWESOME!! Thanks for your comment!
Ive watched this over and over, i love this video& how its not just flavor but things that matter! Can we get an updated one!?
I'm glad you enjoy the video so much! A part 2 is a great idea.. 🤔
Can some one list from Best to worst please? :) Thanks
@18:23
This was extremely helpful & thoughtfully displayed with the information plus with its ranking! So appreciative
Glad it was helpful! 🌱😁
Hey Marygrace! Thanks again for watching this video, if you're interested we just did a brand new review with 3x the proteins than this one! th-cam.com/video/YJLOb5Rabfg/w-d-xo.html
Loved this video! Eric and I were cracking up at your taste test!
You guys did a good job considering all the factors of a protein powder! Best review to date! I’m still a True Nutrition girl though 💚😂
Hahaha I'm glad you both enjoyed it Ash!! :-) True Nutrition is a great company with quality products! If the protein powder that we tested didn't happen to have sucralose, they would have come out on top.
The Vegan Gym That’s why you should have gotten the True Flavor variety! That’s the one I always go with as it’s made with Stevia! 💚 Still am awesome review!
The only vegan protein powder I use is Vega (mostly mocha flavor but peanut butter and berry flavors are also good). I tried so many brands but Vega always stands out in terms of taste.
I'm more confused now 🤣
Wow, super helpful video! I'm just getting into plant-based protein powders and this review was very informative. Huge thanks!!!
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!!
PlantFusion tastes great and it doesn't upset my stomach. Great call!
Yes, PlantFusion is great! I wasn't surprised to see them come out on top in this review! Thanks so much for your view and comment, Dave! :-)
@@TheVeganGym Is there a diff between the different flavors of the PlantFusion protein powder? Or are they all the same just that they taste different? Thanks!
Very helpful video & I really enjoyed watching the taste reviews haha. Thank you so much for this!!
Glad you enjoyed it! We will be releasing an updated protein powder review soon!
Very thoughtful and informative video. I just have to put it out there that I really like the taste of Vivo Life protein powder and the Salted Maca Caramel is my favorite flavor. I was shocked by the taste tests here! I've been vegan for 7 years and have tasted so many vegan protein powders, including many included in this video and Vivo Life tasted better than them all in my opinion. Of course, everyone has different tastes, and some people won't like it, but I just wanted to add my opinion here since I'm seeing people comment that it's mainly famous youtubers/influencers who are hocking Vivo in order to make money. Their banana cinnamon flavor is also really tasty too😋
Thank YOU for sharing your thoughts! As we've mentioned in other comments, we were ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to discover our ratings for Vivo Life protein. Based on all the amazing reviews we've heard, we were very confused. But a few other commenters have noted that they felt the same way after trying it. I guess the only logical conclusion is that the taste is highly polarizing. Some people love it and some people hate it. That's pretty strange in my opinion, but I have no other conclusion. Despite our poor taste ratings, they still placed fairly well among the competition and we very much admire the mission and eco-friendliness of the Vivo Life company. Thank you for your comment! With gratitude, Leif
The Vegan Gym I could be wrong but how eco-friendly is Vivo’s protein really, considering they are sourcing ingredients from different parts of the world though? Taking the transportation of these ingredients into account
I also like Vivo but I think they choose a weird flavor for this video lol I haven't tried the flavor they tested tho
Please make an updated video for 2021...I heard Green Beret vegan protein from Redcon1 is one of the best tasting proteins on the market.
Pea Protein Isolate is the best with all nine BCAA essential amino acids and unflavored so you can add it to anything. Being an isolate, it's 90 - 95% pure protein, meaning that you get more protein for your money and it's sold in a one kg bag on Amazon. Canadian Protein Pea Protein Isolate.
Thanks for sharing that information! We will have to check that one out!
AWESOME VIDEO! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH🤗
You're so welcome Natalie!! Thank you very much for your kind words and support! :-)
@@TheVeganGym You guys DEFINITELY have my support & a new sub!😁 this was my 1st video and I am literally heading out to find this protein powder! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 im excited, lol. Can wait to watch more🤗
@@itsmeeenatalie Awesome Natalie! Thank you so much! Which protein powder did you choose? :-)
such an amazing and thorough review!!! super informative, awesome job and thank you so much!
Why no KOS review? Tastes better than all of those.
We've added it to our list for the next round! Thanks!
The Vegan Gym when will u guys do the next round? Will u compare them to the winners of this round? Thanks!
@@TheVeganGym check out Dr forest raw organic protein too.
Thank so much for making this video you guys!!
Please please do another one of these! I've stuck with plant fusion because of this video. There are so many more brands and flavor options now, and I want to try them but not willing to step away from what I know is good for me and my health!
we're planning on it! and you're welcome :)
I wish you guys included Optimum Nutrition!!!!😭
A ton of products and I was actually looking for this one 😅
You guys worked really hard on this. Thanks for all the info and effort!
So does plant fusion have metals or not
no 15:22
I switched to vegan diet after consuming meat for 20yrs....
& I'm loving this new life.
Getting quality sleep & no skin issues now.
That's amazing job! Congrats on the switch! 🌱💚
You guys are so funny! I have had 9 of these and agree with your assessments on every one.. My wife disagreed with a few but taste can be personal.. She loved Vivo - it made me almost gag... We were using Vegan Smart for awhile as it tastes amazing. But I am super stoked right now on KOS Chocolate and Chocolate / Peanut butter... It is the first one that i have found tastes amazing using just water and not almond milk.. For whatever reason I found nut milks like almond left me bloated and gassy, so being able to drink one with just water as the liquid and have it taste amazing has been huge. Hope you guys get a chance to try it.
Wow! I was looking for Dairy free protein. You guys did an amazing work here. Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!! Hope it was helpful!
I just want a good tasting protein powder and the highest scored 6.5 in taste 😭
This is a superb video!!! 👌👌👌
Thank you so much, Joe! 😀
"That's a zero, get it away from me!" 😅
hahaha
The BEST is sci mix pro v-gain vanilla for me. It’s sooooo creamy
Shouldve caught this vid earlier. This killed all the time I spent researching.
I'm glad you found it to be valuable! :)
Great job guys!! Very helpful! I know this took large amount of time and I appreciate that!! I have only hit like on probably 30 vids ever and this is my only ever comment!! THANKS!!
Thoughts on the heavy metals in Vega?
Exactly! Because out of the study done Vegas the one that’s one of the highest metals
Awesome video. Thanks for trying all of these. Lots of new options available this year. If you’re able, a review of these newer vegan protein powders would be great:
-Truvani (chocolate has great reviews)
-Earth Chimp (I like the chocolate)
-Women’s Best vegan protein powder
-Ambrosia (maple banana French toast has excellent reviews, others not so much)
-KOS protein
-OWYN shakes
-Evolve shakes
-Pirq shakes
-Ripple shakes
Love your videos!! ☺️🌱
Thank you SO much for these suggestions! We definitely plan to make an updated version of this!
Great video guys, I appreciate all the work you did to put this together. I think at the end of the day, the taste is the most important. How many people are gonna stick to a vegan protein powder if it tastes like sand 😂
Very true!! There's not much benefit to having a protein powder if it just sits in your pantry haha :-P
Thanks you very much for sharing all this information , its such a great and informative video. It’s easy too see all the effort you guys put into this video very informative , thanks again !!!!! I hope this video gets lots of views :)
I died laughing when Anders gagged! Taste is sooo important. Im surprised some of these didnt rank higher in taste...
Hahaha some of them were REALLY GROSS!! And yeah, we were really surprised some of these didn't rank higher in taste too. Thanks for your comment and view Natalie! :-)
As long as you can stand to drink it, taste is prolly the least important criteria. You can hide the taste.
@@mimib5913 not for me, taste is really important... I already struggle as it is to get enough calories in, i need to enjoy it or i literally skip meals. Smoothies/shakes are my least favorite type of meal, ive had to make other protein snacks so i dont waste my money :/
I've tried almost all of these. Unless you're making a smoothie none of these are very good tbh. The only vegan protein I can honestly say is worth drinking by itself is the Planta Banana Maple French Toast. Highly recommend giving it a try.
Try ghost vegan peanut butter cereal milk protein. It is absolutely amazing.
are protein and not to sound salesly it tastes awesom in plain water. We won a nourish nutrition taste reward a couple years in a row for our amazing tasting vegan protein.
I'll have to check that out! Thanks Devin!
