Vegan Protein Powder (1kg) - 28 Servings - EarthChamp by Wyldsson - Plant Based Vanilla Protein Powder Shake, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Lactose Free Protien Shake (Vanilla) vs Applied Nutrition Plant Protein Powder – Critical Plant Vegan Protein Shake with SOYA, Pea, Brown Rice Proteins & Essential Amino Acids - Dairy-Free Gym Supplement (1.8kg - 60 Servings) (Vanilla)

Pros

• ✓Exceptionally clean formula: no sucralose, no gums, no carrageenan, no soya, no added sugar or salt
• ✓Smooth texture and mild vanilla taste consistently praised — avoids the 'chalky/sawdust' issue common in plant proteins
• ✓Transparent brand: CEO personally responds to queries, Eurofins lab testing for heavy metals confirmed by manufacturer
• ✓Enriched with functional botanicals (baobab, flax, turmeric, cinnamon) plus 100% RDA of vitamins D, B6, and B12

Cons

• ✗Protein density lower than whey (~57g/100g vs 80–90% for whey), requiring larger servings for the same protein dose
• ✗Slight graininess reported by some users — inherent to plant-protein blends without gums
• ✗Vanilla flavour inconsistency: one reviewer found it artificial and overpowering compared to the chocolate variant
• ✗No formal third-party certification (Informed Sport, NSF, etc.) — Eurofins testing is periodic and not displayed on-pack

Best For

Pros

• ✓High protein yield (~24g per 30g serving) with a complete amino acid profile from the pea/soya/rice blend

• ✓Well-tolerated digestively by the majority—notably low bloating and gas compared to whey
• ✓Excellent value for money at the 1.8kg size (~60 servings)

• ✗One user reported excessive foaming and found the taste unacceptable
• ✗Digestive adjustment can be significant for some users; one reviewer noted pronounced GI disruption in the first days
• ✗No third-party testing (e.g. Informed Sport) — notable absence given the soya allergen content and gym market
