Best Vegan Protein Powders 2025: Fuel Your Fitness Goals

Kaged Plantein Vegan Protein in Peanut Butter Cookie scored a mid-pack 7/10 with us thanks to a creamy, easy-mixing texture and a robust 25 g of protein per scoop. When we tested it, the flavor was dessert-like, though some tasters picked up artificial notes from the stevia and sucralose blend. The tub only holds about 15 servings, raising cost per serving despite the $29.99 price. If you prize taste and texture for shakes or oats, Plantein is a satisfying, gluten-free option.

KOS Organic Plant Protein lands squarely in the middle with a 7/10, offering 20 g of protein, a smooth mix, and an organic superfood blend. In our testing, the texture impressed, but the flavor skewed very sweet—great for dessert-like shakes, not ideal if you prefer subtle. Smaller tubs mean fewer servings, which can bump cost per serving despite the $32.55 price. Also check allergen notes; some varieties contain tree-nut ingredients and broader warnings that cautious buyers should review.

At $19.99, Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder is a wallet-friendly pick for daily shakes. In our testing, the 21g of protein from an organic pea and brown rice blend is gluten-free and delivered solid post-workout support with a generally pleasant flavor, especially in smoothies. We did find thin liquids can highlight grainy, hard-to-mix texture, and we keep an eye on past recall concerns for undeclared allergens. With a 7/10 score, it's a reliable budget option, though not the most consistent performer.

On paper, Myprotein’s Vegan Protein Blend looks great with up to 27 g of protein per 35 g serving and added DigeZyme enzymes. During our review, however, many flavors tasted off, and we ran into gritty clumps and poor solubility more than we’d like. The 4.5/10 score—one of the lowest in our roundup—reflects those issues, plus a soy allergen label that won’t work for some buyers. If you’re purely chasing macros, it’s workable, but smoother, better-tasting options outshine it at a similar price.

Ghost Vegan Protein posts a 6.5/10, but we appreciated its creamy texture and three-source plant blend of pea, organic pumpkin, and watermelon seed. During our review, it mixed smoothly into water, milk, and oats, with zero sugar per serving for low-sugar diets. The drawbacks are a premium $49.99 price and the inclusion of sucralose, which some avoid. If you’re after a dessert-like shake without added sugar, it’s a tasty, gluten-free option—as long as artificial sweeteners aren’t a deal-breaker.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Plant earned an 8.5/10 in our review for delivering 24g of complete plant protein from pea, brown rice, and fava bean - strong muscle support from a trusted brand. Our experience shows it mixes well in smoothies or oat bowls, though some flavors can turn a touch chalky and the stevia aftertaste is noticeable for sensitive palates. Sodium runs higher than some rivals. At $39.99, it's a top choice if you want big protein per scoop without going fully unflavored.

For heavy training days, OWYN Pro Elite's massive 32g of protein per serving impressed us during testing, and its broad allergen-free formula makes it easy to recommend across dietary needs. The monk fruit sweetness runs on the bold side, and texture can skew thick or a bit pasty unless you blend thoroughly or add extra liquid. Sodium is higher than some competitors, worth noting for low-sodium diets. At $49.99, it earned an 8/10 as a versatile shake or meal-replacement base with real muscle-building heft.

For a no-frills, budget-friendly pick, NOW Organic Pea Protein scored a solid 7.5/10 and costs just $23.44. We found the single-ingredient, USDA organic isolate easy to digest and loved the Informed-Sport certification for athletes needing extra assurance. The trade-off is only 15 g of protein per serving and a plain, unflavored taste that benefits from fruit or cocoa. Sodium sits on the higher side, so if you track sodium closely, consider smaller scoops or mixing with lower-sodium add-ins.

Transparent Labs Organic Vegan Protein lands a 6.5/10—while not the highest scorer, it’s a solid USDA-organic pea and rice blend with 24 g per scoop. During our review, we noticed an earthy smell in water, and the stevia can leave a bitter edge. Texture is generally fine but can turn a bit gritty or foamy without a vigorous shake. At $49.99, it suits buyers prioritizing clean labels without artificial colors or preservatives over absolute value.

Truvani keeps it simple with organic pea protein, monk fruit sweetening, and 20 g per serving, but its 6/10 score reflects mixed real-world results. In our testing, certain flavors—especially chocolate—tended to be gritty or chalky unless blended aggressively. The clean label and gluten-free, organic approach are appealing for minimalists, though. If texture and flavor are top priorities, smoother competitors deliver a better shake for the price, but Truvani still fits well in smoothies where grittiness is less noticeable.

Sunwarrior's Warrior Blend scored 7.5/10 in our testing for its smooth mixing, pleasant vanilla flavor, and USDA Organic, dairy/soy/gluten-free credentials. Each scoop gives 18g of plant protein plus helpful BCAAs for recovery, making it easy to toss into shakes or oatmeal. We did notice the organic stevia runs a bit sweet, and formulas with added greens can taste vegetal. At $44.97, it's a balanced pick for clean ingredients and easy drinkability, though heavier lifters may prefer higher-protein options on this list.

Garden of Life Organic Chocolate Protein Powder earns a strong 7.5/10 for its USDA organic, non-GMO formula with 22 g of protein plus probiotics and enzymes. In our testing, the gut-friendly blend mixed best in a blender bottle; otherwise the texture can lean slightly gritty. Sodium runs higher than some plant proteins, and the smaller tubs make the price per serving feel steeper despite the $17.99 tag. Still, for a clean, gluten-free shake with extra digestive support, it’s a dependable daily option.

Momentous 100% Plant Protein in this limited edition flavor scores a strong 8.5/10 for its clean pea + rice blend and NSF Certified for Sport credentials. Our experience shows the 20 g per serving mixes smoothly, and the U.S./Canada sourcing inspires confidence for athletes who test. You will pay more per serving, and some buyers have reported subscription management hassles and occasional shipping delays. If certification and reliability matter more than price, this vegan, gluten-free, soy-free pick is easy to recommend.

Despite a solid 24g of pea-and-rice protein and a complete amino profile, Vanilla Thorne Plant Protein landed a 4.5/10 in our review for weak value. At $49, we found the stevia-forward sweetness hard to miss, and mixing with just water often left a slightly gritty sip. It's gluten-free and can work post-workout, but there aren't standout benefits to justify the premium over higher-scoring picks. If you like stevia and usually blend with milk or smoothies, it's serviceable - just not our top recommendation.

Our top-rated choice at 10/10, plnt Sport Organic Performance Protein delivers a hefty 30 g of protein plus electrolytes, probiotics, and enzymes for full post-workout support. In our testing, the organic whole-food blend of pea, brown rice, and pumpkin seed made recovery shakes feel more complete than standard pea-only options. The trade-offs are a higher price per serving and only 20 servings per tub. Also note the coconut allergen; if that’s a concern, another gluten-free, stevia-sweetened option may suit you better.

Naked Pea is our top-rated choice at 9.5/10, thanks to its single-ingredient formula sourced from US/Canadian yellow split peas and a hefty 27g of protein per scoop. During our review, it mixed cleanly into water, smoothies, and even pancakes, with zero sweeteners or additives to get in the way. Expect a naturally earthy, slightly gritty note in the unflavored version - easily masked with fruit or cocoa. While $57.99 isn't cheap, the purity, consistency, and performance earned its high rating for serious vegan athletes.
