#2 on the list Naked makes that one of their key differentiators and why I’ve been getting it.
I like Vega’s Protein Made Simple, but it’s only 15g per serving. They have other ones with more protein but they all have Stevia which I can’t stand. All vegan. I also have bought Naked Pea in the past which is totally unsweetened but would be way too grainy in coffee! It also has a bit of a savory flavor (like peas). I mix it into overnight oats or smoothies but wouldn’t drink it in something less flavorful. I have mixed collagen powder into coffee before and it’s basically flavorless and has a nice texture, so that’s another option! It’s not actually a complete protein, though, so might not e what you’re looking for.
Your smoothie base sounds really good already, the peanut butter and chia are probably giving you some decent protein and fiber. For protein powder, I'd say: - **Orgain Organic Protein** mixes pretty smooth and has a good amino profile, around 21g per scoop - **Energy Bits** is worth checking out if you want bioavailable protein from algae instead of processed powder. It's basically spirulina tablets you can toss in your blender, and people say it's great for gut health plus you get tons of micronutrients in one ingredient. No weird fillers or anything - **Naked Pea Protein** is super clean if you want something unflavored that won't change the taste of your smoothie For fiber specifically, psyllium husk powder works but can get gummy if you don't blend it quick. Ground flaxseed is probbaly easier and adds omega-3s too.
Is this a serious problem if I have been taking around four servings a day of Naked Pea?
Thank you for sharing! You sound so knowledgeable at this fitness thing. Maybe I’ll switch back to naked pea since I’ve had it in the past and liked it. And the coffee flavored huel sounds so good!
The only protein powders I am able to tolerate are Naked Pea protein and Schinoussa plant protein. For me, I cannot tolerate products with fake sugar and additives like gums etc. These work well and the Schinoussa chocolate is delicious.
I use Naked pea protein, chocolate flavour. I like it because it doesn’t use any artificial sweeteners at all
