User questions & answers

Question:	What is the serving size, the calories per serving, and the grams of sugar and fat per serving? Thank you
Answer:	Serving size is two scoops (46grams) with 20 servings per container (40 scoops), 150 calories (40 from fat), 4g of Fat, 0g Saturated Fat, 1g sugar, 5g sugar alcohol, 125mg sodium, 21g protein, and 5g fiber
Question:	How does the flavor of Orgain plant-based vanilla protein compare to Garden of Life's raw vanilla protein
Answer:	I've had both, and Orgain's is very salty. It's got 270 mg sodium per serving, while Garden of Life's has like 160, I believe. I definitely prefer Garden of Life - which also offers many more nutrients. I just got the Orgain today and I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow for a refund - or an exchange, if they have Garden of Life. I'm loyal to them now.
Question:	Is there any information about the heavy metal contents in this product? Mainly Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic
Answer:	I love this protein powder, but recently discovered it failed several tests in 2018 for arsenic and lead/cadmium levels. It was too high in both. Google the independent studies for protein powders and you will see it got an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5. What lowered this from 5 was the presence of arsenic and lead and or cadmium. These things are found in the soil of even Organic products.
Question:	Does it really taste good? Does it taste chalky at any point or does it have a Stevia aftertaste
Answer:	I just started drinking the chocolate protein powder for breakfast this past week on my way to work. The only other products I have to compare it to are the Garden of Life Raw Meal Vanilla and Chocolate SlimFast. To me, SlimFast tastes the best, but I think it's because it's cow-milk based. Secondly would be Orgain Chocolate. I do not find it chalky--I always use Almond Milk--but for me there is a slight aftertaste. It's not horrible and does not linger at all, and the chocolate creaminess definitely makes up for it, I find it really tastes great for not being cow-milk based. Don't even try Garden of Life Raw Meal, that stuff is disgusting.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much tumeric is in each serving
Answer:	Hi Brad B. Thanks for reaching out. The ingredients are listed in descending order, by weight. We do not disclose the exact amount of turmeric in our formula. please feel free to reach us at [email protected] for further questions. Thanks! Kim McDevitt, MPH RD, Vega Sr Education Specialist
Question:	I honestly am between the flavors vanilla or berry? i dont want something super sweet and after reading the comments i cant decide? help
Answer:	Hmm, I've heard Vanilla is really good. I haven't tried it yet but I'd imagine it's less sweet than berry. Have you thought of the mocha flavor? It's super delicious and definitely not very sweet, just creamy!
Question:	Should this only be used as a recovery drink
Answer:	If you're question is whether or not this is a "pre workout" drink - it's not. It should be taken whenever you would need PROTEIN not necessarily exclusive to "recovery". Early morning with breakfast, after workouts, or in the evening as your last meal.
Question:	What is the difference between this product and the original
Answer:	Without going into too much detail there are some added ingredients like tart cherries and turmeric. The new formula has more bcaa's however, to me the original formula tastes better and the original formula has less calories which matters to me. The new formula has 5 more grams of protein than the original, but for me that's not worth the extra calories. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should I buy this powder, or Vega One? I make a breakfast smoothie with spinach, berries, mangos, flax seeds, chia seeds, banana etc and need protein
Answer:	The Vega One has more nutrients and is designed to be an all-in-one, complete shake, so if you are naturally going add the berries, mangoes, seeds, etc., you don't necessarily need all that. If you just need protein, you can go for a more basic powder. I love that this has the added greens because I usually add greens powders in some form or another to my shakes. I say try them both and pick the one you like the best!
Question:	What does the natural flavor taste like? No flavor
Answer:	not sure what you mean by natural flavor but the chocolate flavor tastes nice, you can tell that it uses more natural ingredients but the Stevia is a flavor that is pretty powerful in it. It is a natural sweetener from a leaf but they use quite a bit of it in their proteins. I mix mine wither in oatmeal or a smoothie to lesson the sweetness! The vanilla is good but the chocolate is the best.
Question:	Can Somebody clarify if this actually has lead/arsenic or metal in it
Answer:	Manufacturer never really answered the question, rather danced around that question. Does this product or does it not contain lead and arsenic?
Question:	I'm confused about the added greens. Why does the nutrition info list 0% Vit A & C, when the raw greens are LOADED with Vit A, Vit C, and Vit B
Answer:	Vega website: https://myvega.com/products/vega-protein-and-greens?variant=10882239037483&flavor=vanilla&size=large-25-servings in drop down question answer, a chart shows amino acids, and also vitamin totals: "Note that as this is a food product, values may differ slightly from batch to batch, but each serving is formulated to contain approximately, and at least: Vanilla flavor Chocolate flavor Berry flavor Tropical flavor Plain Unsweetened flavor Vitamin A 1250 IU 1250 IU 1250 IU 1250 IU 1250 IU Vitamin C 6 mg 6 mg 6 mg 6 mg 6 mg Calcium 80 mg 80 mg 80 mg 80 mg 80 mg Iron 4.5 mg 6.3 mg 4.5 mg 4.5 mg 4.5 mg Vitamin K 64 mcg 64 mcg 64 mcg 64 mcg 64 mcg Folate 21mcg 21mcg 21mcg 21mcg 21mcg

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I blend this with hot coffee
Answer:	Hi Jo, We encourage you to mix our Organic Protein Plant Based Protein Powder in any liquid of your choice, even hot coffee! You can even cook and bake with our protein powders. We kindly advise you refrain from microwaving our products as the radio waves from a microwave may negatively affect the organic, food based nutrients. I hope that helps! In good health, The Orgain Team
Question:	Does anyone else have digestive issues after drinking this
Answer:	Yes, I did for two days in a row. And I only added 1-tbsp to my smoothie, not the 2-scoops that are recommended. It messed with my intestinal tract and bowel movements. I'm going to wait a while and then I may try using it alone in a smoothie with the protein super foods 50, Berry and water or some kind of liquid. I was a whey protein advocate for years and that never bothered me. I'm not a Vegan or Vegetarian, so it's not imperative that I drink this stuff. I need to look into "erythritol". Maybe that is the culprit.
Question:	Please let me know is the seller and where its distribution from? It is in the US based or from overseas
Answer:	I'm happy to share with you what I know. The products are made in Irvine California . With all manufacturing facilities are suppose to be USA .I certainly hope this is true I'd rather not be buying products from other countries.
Question:	Is this a meal replacement
Answer:	YES! I'm Type II diabetic and this product was recommended by my dietician AS A MEAL REPLACEMENT. She also assured me that it tastes good. I'm purchasing some today 07/02/2019. Hope this info helps :-)

User questions & answers

Question:	Why doesn’t Vega completely remove or put less stevia in this, it’s way too sweet
Answer:	Hi There, We use stevia because we feel it is the best plant-based no-calorie sweetener. However, if you aren't a fan we have some good news we have a stevia free option for you. Check out Plain Unsweetened or Unsweetened Natural in Vega One or Proteins & Greens. Sounds like that might be the right fit. The Vega Team
Question:	Is it caffeine free
Answer:	Caffeine is not listed in the list of ingredients.
Question:	Does it have vitamin b
Answer:	I do not have the vanilla flavor. I have the tropical and berry flavors. Neither one of those has vitamin B listed on the label. I looked on the manufacturer's website and it appears that none of the flavors have vitamin B added, but if this is a huge issue for you you should contact the manufacturer to confirm.
Question:	is there any sunflower oil in this
Answer:	Hi there, Thanks for reaching out. Sunflower oil is not used as an ingredient in Vega Protein & Greens. That said, we used shared facilities and for that reason we cannot make the claim that our nutritional shakes are nut free. Safety is paramount to us at Vega, therefore all our facilities are 3rd party audited and follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) to ensuring all allergen ingredients are stored away from non-allergen ingredients, and strict sanitation Practices are followed, to ensure risk for cross contamination is minimized. I hope this helps! Julie Zeitlhuber, MSc. Education Specialist

User questions & answers

Question:	will this product "pop" for THC on a drug screening
Answer:	It should not as this is a protein powder, that should not contain THC in it.
Question:	has this been tested for heavy metals
Answer:	There’s some research on this. The Sun Warrior Protein, Warrior Blend is said to have the lowest of all protein powders, probably because it’s pea based.
Question:	What is in this product that causes it to need a prop 65 warning
Answer:	I have tried to find the specific ingredient that may have required the prop 65 warning but was unable to. I have read and believe that in plant based foods toxins do occur naturally in the soil where organic crops are grown. Prop 65 is very poorly written and gives us very little guidance. The label on Sunwarrior Protein refers specifically to women that are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. If you are a person that is concerned please make wise choices.
Question:	I generally dislike pea protein powders b/c they're so heavy and retain a pea-taste. Is this blend "heavy" with a pea flavor
Answer:	I buy the chocolate and Vanilla flavors and neither tastes anything like peas... I originally purchased 5 different plant based proteins and Sunwarrior was the best tasting.

Question:	What would one normally mix this in? (Almond milk, soy milk, etc
Answer:	I love using almond milk! It was too water and plain with water so the milk made it more creamy and thick!
Question:	is this keto friendly
Answer:	Sorry I don’t know Keto well enough to know for sure but it’s vegan and does not contain many allergens (& simple ingredients). It’s really good for vegan protein - my favorites are peanut butter, cinnamon, & vanilla.

Question:	Why are the ingredient and nutrition labels on the product i recieved different? Veg fiber is now veg powder with fiber content dropping to 1 mg
Answer:	I just discovered that dietary fiber dropped from 10g to 1g in the last batch that I ordered. I was buying this product for the fiber (40%) as much as for the protein.

Question:	Will Orgain go back to its original formula ? Has anyone heard from the company
Answer:	They have definitely improved their formula! I contacted the company to complain about their previous change and got an immediate response. They asked for the date and product code on the foul tasting formula, which I provided (the use-by date was Oct. 2018). They sent me a sample of their new formula which has a use-by date of Feb 2019. It was delicious! Great company, very responsive. More importantly, the delicious Orgain shake is back!

User questions & answers

Question:	Any idea how much potassium is in a serving? Potassium isn't listed on the label
Answer:	You’re right. It’s not on the label so I guess it’s not in there
Question:	Is the tropical fruit tasty
Answer:	No....its gritty and taste like only mangoes! I went back to just using Vanilla flavor and I can add whatever fruit I want. It's tasty enough to just mix in a glass or shaker and drink.
Question:	I don't understand the nutrition labels. On the vanilla, why does the sodium content per serving change between medium and large containers
Answer:	I am not totally sure I’m correct in what I am about to say. But, I bought the 21 serving size through Amazon and a much larger size of the same product at Costco. When I got home and compared the 2 I noticed the nutritional facts where different ie, total carbs on Amazon purchase was 9. Total carbs on the Costco size were 11. I thought, oh well it is not a big big difference. When I finally opened the Costco container and pulled out the scoop I realized it was a much bigger scoop. Could that be why the nutritional facts are different? If you use the bigger scoop of course you are using more of the protein powder. Could that be a reason for the difference?
Question:	Does this contain all 9 essential amino acids
Answer:	Hi NW, Our Vega® Protein & Greens offers you all essential amino acids. Thank you, Takumi Kawakatsu Consumer Educator

User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered the Vanilla flavored powder, it has a really strong "Play-Doh" type taste and smell. Could this be a bad batch
Answer:	No, that's normal. Mine also smells like Play-Doh to me. I suspect that's just the bean-y proteins in it. It doesn't bother me. Then again, I was one of those kids who used to eat Play-Doh. LOL I usually mix it half-and-half with chocolate powder of another brand and add stuff like banana, yogurt, whatever I happen to feel like. By the time I'm done fixing it up, it tastes fine to me. There's really no protein powder that isn't going to have some taste issue or another, whether it's too sweet or too grainy or leaves an aftertaste or whatever. It would be nice if everything nutritious tasted like cake and cookies and ice cream, but that ain't the way it works, unfortunately. As a vegetarian, I'm just glad I have options like this at all.
Question:	what countries are these ingredients sourced from? Is China one of them
Answer:	It is not clear where their ingredients are sourced from but according to their website, they set a great standard for testing all products for pathogens, microbes, metals, etc. http://www.gardenoflife.com/Our-Company/Good-Manufacturing-Practices.aspx If this link doesn't show up, you can find this information on their website about all the things they test for. I would not be concerned if anything came from China with the extensive testing they do. They once recalled a multivitaming because it came in contact with a soy protein and those sensitive to soy could have had a reaction. I would say that was a pretty good concern and they tackled it. Compared to other companies out there, I wouldn't hesitate to use GOL. Why don't you call them and ask?
Question:	Is this protein cold processed? Would assume so if it is RAW but want to make sure, and also ensure there is no acid-processing
Answer:	I hope this helps..."RAW matters because heat can denature proteins, reducing their availability to your body. But Garden of Life’s Certified Organic plant proteins are different—always gently produced at low temperatures, without any added fillers or carriers, preserving their complete amino acid integrity and whole-food, Certified Organic, Non-GMO goodness".
Question:	Do the products being sold currently still contain the high levels of heavy metals
Answer:	There's a 1 star review from this year (2019) of their Sport version that said it tested high in heavy metals: https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Plant-Based-Protein/product-reviews/B01N7DTD98/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_srt?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar I don't trust Garden of Life brand anymore after Nestle bought it. Not only are the ingredients suspect, there's a lot less volume of powder in the canister than there used to be - total ripoff, and shows no respect for the customer. Read the critical reviews. Nestle destroyed what was once a great brand.

Why Raw Organic Protein

Unlock the nutritive power of living grains and seeds with creamy and delicious Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein powder. It contains Raw Food-Created fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and supports digestive health and function with live probiotics and protein-digesting enzymes. Raw matters because heat can denature proteins, reducing their availability to your body. With 22g of muscle-building complete protein, this vegan protein powder is Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified with no added fillers or carriers.

22g Plant Protein

Raw Organic Protein contains various high-quality, plant-derived sources of Certified Organic protein that is low temperature processed (not pasteurized) and can be used by anyone, including vegans. It provides the high-quality, body-ready amino acid profile that is found in other sources of protein such as whey, but is a 100% plant-based protein powder, with organically farmed ingredients such as Organic Peas, Organic Sprouted Brown Rice and Organic Amaranth Sprout, to name a few.

13 Organic Sprouted Grains, Seeds & Legumes

Sprouting is a process that has been used for centuries to make seeds and grains easier to digest—and to increase the bioavailability of their nutrients. That's why 13 of the plant proteins contained in our Raw Organic Protein blend undergo a sprouting process whereby the seeds and grains are germinated and brought to life.

3 Billion CFU Live Probiotics & 13 Non-GMO Enzymes

The importance of consuming live probiotics and enzymes with your protein is critical. In order for your body to get the most out of it, you must first break down and then absorb the protein. Certain enzymes, known as proteases, help digest protein so that your body can properly use it. Probiotics aid digestion by making it easier for dietary nutrients from our diets to be absorbed—and later used—by the body.
