Pea, rice, and blends — closing the gap with whey.
Organic pea + brown-rice + chia blend, 21g protein, the mainstream plant pick.
Athlete-focused pea-blend protein with BCAAs and tart-cherry for recovery.
Organic multi-source sprouted protein blend with probiotics and enzymes.
Single-ingredient yellow-pea protein isolate — nothing but pea, 27g protein.
Per gram, whey has more leucine, the key trigger for muscle synthesis. But a 40g pea+rice blend, or one with added leucine, closes most of the gap for vegans.
Pea and rice proteins have a coarser particle size than whey. Blending with liquid, using flavored versions, or letting it sit a minute improves the texture.
