Sunwarrior Classic Plus Organic Plant Protein 750g 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 ingredient list — only organic protein sources, natural flavours, and stevia; no emulsifiers or artificial additives
• ✓Widely reported excellent digestibility with minimal bloating or GI discomfort, even for those sensitive to other protein powders
• ✓Strong certification stack: USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free
• ✓Multi-source blend (pea + hemp + quinoa) provides a more complete essential amino acid profile than single-source plant proteins

Cons

• ✗Only 18g protein per serving (25g scoop) — relatively low density; serious athletes may need 2 scoops or a higher-yield alternative
• ✗Stevia sweetness is polarising — a recurring complaint from users who find flavoured versions too sweet or artificial-tasting
• ✗Not third-party tested for sport (no Informed Sport or NSF Certified for Sport certification), limiting suitability for competitive athletes
• ✗Some Trustpilot reports of inconsistent labelling and poor customer service from Sunwarrior directly

Best For

• ✗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
