Garden of Life has the most rigorous certification stack of any protein brand: NSF Certified for Sport + USDA Organic + Non-GMO Project Verified + Certified Vegan. For athletes where these certifications matter, there is no meaningful competition.
Sport Organic Plant Protein delivers 30g protein and 2.9g leucine per scoop — above the MPS activation threshold via a four-source blend engineered to close the plant protein leucine gap. Their probiotic range and collagen products are similarly category-leading.
The cost and texture limitations are real. At $1.97–$2.50/serving for the protein, value is the weakest dimension. Designed for blending — the shaker texture is gritty.

Use a blender with 300–350ml cold liquid and add frozen fruit. Don't judge it by shaker-with-water experience — designed for blending.
