For what it’s worth, I switched from Vega to LeanFit (Canadian) when the trade war started. Good stuff. I don’t know if it’s in any of the heavy metal tests though.
I liked those few months they had Canadian protein
Used to be lean fit sport the one in the dark blue bag. It has some pretty good macros, doesn't taste that great though and it mixes only decently with a shaker bottle.
Not 100% sure what protein powders are available in the US, but I’ve tried a fair number of plant-based options because I can’t digest whey isolate. The four I like the best are: Orgain Simple Pros: really good flavour and texture Cons: not a lot of flavour options and sometimes not able to consistently find it in stores (this may just be a Canadian problem) Super Jelly Pros: GREAT flavours Cons: not a lot of different flavours, expensive, and a bit grainy Ghost Pros: GREAT flavours Cons: not a lot of flavour options, expensive, and a bit grainy GoodProtein Pros: Best flavour range I’ve seen on the vegan market, not grainy at all Cons: can be a bit thick Leanfit is tolerable, but not great.
Lean Fit Plant Protein - I usually get it at Costco. I usually only have it in smoothies so I can’t speak to its consistency.
Leanfit plant vanilla from Costco. Also leanfit plant chocolate from Amazon.
