Sunwarrior Protein is 100% the best vegan organic protein powder on the market today, and you’re about to find out why! As you’ve read about in our posts on Why to Choose Vegan Protein Powder and The Importance of Organic Protein Powder, your protein supplement needs to be vegan and it needs to be organic. No excuses. And Sunwarrior is both vegan and organic!
But out of the many (and increasing) protein powders on the market, how do you find the best one? First, the product needs to have clean ingredients. It needs to taste good. And it also needs to be affordable. All of Sunwarrior’s protein powder varieties are all three, each with different qualities and specifics. Let’s learn more!
Sunwarrior Classic Plus
Ingredients / Nutrition
This variety of protein blend is composed of all organic proteins from yellow peas, raw and sprouted brown rice, quinoa, chia seeds, and amaranth. The cleanest variety is always going to be the natural flavor and in this case those are the only ingredients. This blend delivers 20 grams of protein in just 100 calories and a full 18 amino acids. It includes a great deal of Vitamin C (70% of your recommended daily intake) and 30% of your recommended daily intake of iron (ladies. . . ). Only 2 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fats per serving, so you don’t have to worry about either of those getting in the way of your diet plan!
Taste
The Classic Plus variety of Sunwarrior Protein comes in natural, chocolate, and vanilla flavors. Natural would be best to add to recipes already packed with flavor, as an extra boost in oatmeal or in baking. Chocolate is made with added organic cocoa, organic chocolate flavor, ancient sea salt, organic stevia extract, and organic guar fiber. Vanilla is made with just added organic vanilla flavor, ancient sea salt, organic guar fiber and organic stevia extract. You will take a loss of 2 grams of protein in the vanilla blend and 3 in the chocolate based on the added ingredients to make it taste even creamier and more delicious, but still for only 100 calories a scoop!
Sunwarrior Warrior Blend
Ingredients / Nutrition
The most popular of the Sunwarrior Protein products, the Warrior Blend variety is made from a mix of yellow split pea protein, hemp, goji berries and whole ground coconut, all organic (of course). Like the Classic Plus type, it too to packed with 18 essential amino acids. One scoop also contains just 100 calories, 20 grams of protein. 1.5 grams of fat, 2 carbs, and 50% of your recommended daily intake of iron!
Taste
A lot of vegan proteins are sourced from things like brown rice and quinoa making them grainy in texture. But the Warrior blend is a creamy and smooth blend of all plants and no grains, meaning it is paleo friendly as well! In addition, the Warrior Blend type comes in five amazing flavors: Berry, Chocolate, Mocha, Natural, and Vanilla. Especially if you are new to a protein powder supplement, the warrior blend variety is highly recommended because it can be easily enjoyed on the go with only added water or nut milk! If you like sweet and fruity, definitely go with the berry type. If you love coffee and chocolate, the mocha is sure to please. And you can never go wrong with chocolate, unless you are a vanilla person 😉
Sunwarrior Classic Protein
Ingredients / Nutrition
Last is the Sunwarrior Classic Protein which is just raw whole grain brown rice protein. That’s it! If you are interested in the minimum ingredients in your supplement, this is the protein powder for you! 17 grams of protein are packed into just 80 calories per serving, 2 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams of fat.
Taste
Sunwarrior Classic comes in chocolate, natural, and vanilla. This is the place to start if you are interested in plain and simple. It’s classic!
So about the Budget . . .
At the time of publishing this article, a 15 serving canister of Sunwarrior Classic Plus Protein Powder was selling for just $21.59. At $1.43 a serving, you can consider that comparable to any of the other vegan organic protein blends out there. And as in most things, the more you buy, the cheaper the price. Sunwarrior also offers convenient sizes of 20, 30, and 40 servings each, to be as cheap as $1.12 a serving! And the best part? All three varieties are the same price and come in various convenient sizes.
