Protein powders have diversified mightily. Non-animal protein sources are all the rage — we’re talking rice, pea and hemp proteins. But Plant Fusion goes all gluten-free ancient grain on us, using organic sprouted quinoa and amaranth to go with the proverbial yellow pea and the provocative globe artichoke. The result is a protein scoring a perfect 1.0 on the PDCAAS protein scorecard. In sum, you get 21 grams of protein per serving, plus 4,500 mg branch-chain amino acids, 3,350 mg glutamine, and only 120 calories per serving. If that doesn’t get you through your day, we don’t know what will.

What’s better still is Phood — a protein-rich formula combined with a multivitamin formulation, the full range of omegas, and sprouted cruciferous greens. Now that’s a meal!
