Whole Foods Protein Powder Reviews

I'll have more on what when down at the JP Fitness Summit in the upcoming days. Here is a review that I received from a avid Street Smart Nutrition reader regarding several of the protein powders found at Whole Foods. Enjoy!


All these protein powers were taste-tested with the following smoothie ingredients:

1.5 cups vanilla soy milk
.3 cup acai paste
.5 cup frozen raspberries and blueberries
.3 cup green tea

(Blended for 30 seconds in electric blender)

Here's a short review:

Brand: Biochem Sports
Product: 100% Hemp Seed & Whey Protein Isolate
Protein per serving: 25 grams
Flavor: Vanilla

Comments: The hemp sounded interesting, and is organic, but the whey made it taste totally gross! The consistency was definitely thicker than my standard protein power, the delicious Whole Foods 365 Brand of Vanilla soy protein (24 g protein).


Brand: Peaceful Planet "The Supreme Meal"
Product: Quinoa, Millet and Amaranth, non-GMO pea protein isolate
Protein per serving: 17 grams
Flavor: Vanilla

Comments: The flavor was mild, with hints of the grains, like oak aged chardonnay. The consistency on the tonque felt like a suspension, with tiny protein-power granules grating around. Overall, a wholesome earthy powder. I woudl definitely try it again, or spring for a canister and bake with it.

Brand: Soytein
Product: Non-GMO Isolated Soy Protein
Protein per serving: 14 grams
Flavor: Vanilla

Comments:Sort of unappetizing, kind of like whey. An odd taste for a soy powder product. Not memorable, definitely would not try it again.

Brand: Nature's Life: Super-Green Pro 96 Soy Protein Power
Product: Non GMO Identity Preserved Soy Protein Isolate
Protein per serving: 25 grams
Flavor: Vanilla

Comments: No notable flavor, a little grainy in consistency, but not chunkiness or lumps, very smooth blend. Not sweet. A good neutral soy product. Left wondering what Identity Preserved soy isolate is. I would buy this again.
