Hey Mike,

I'm a bit confused about my plant-based protein options (Thrive is too expensive to ship to Israel unfortunately :[ )

• NOW Organic Plant Protein is a blend of Organic Pea, Brown Rice, Quinoa. But the protein/serving ratio is less than 65% (22 / 34).
• Sunwarrior Classic Plus is a blend of organic pea, organic brown rice, organic quinoa, organic chia seed, organic amaranth. The protein/serving ratio is 80% (20g/25g).
• NOW Pea Protein is 100% pea protein and the protein/serving ratio is less than 73% (24/33). But I understand from the article that pea alone is inferior to a rice/pea mix.
• Sunwarrior Warrior Blend is a blend of organic pea protein, organic hemp protein, organic goji berry. The protein/serving ratio is 76% (19/25). But again this is not a pea/rice mix.

Among these options, only the Sunwarrior Warrior Blend is ranked in Labdoor, and it sits in a pretty good place (16th from the top, with a grade of 81 points). But going by your teachings, it appears as though the Sunwarrior Classic Plus would be the most effective (having the highest protein ratio [assuming it's not spiked, but I gather Sunwarrior have a good reputation] and being a pea/rice combination).

On the other hand, NOW is cheaper so if the difference isn't significant I'd probably consider it the better choice (I'm guessing I should go for the pea product in that case, seeing as the plant blend's 65% sounds like too low a serving/protein ratio?)

So the question is, how would you rate my options?

Thanks Mike!

I'm not vegan, just want to try out some protein types to see what agrees best with my stomach :)

Good to know about Labdoor, I did have my suspicions...

Isn't 65% a bit low on the protein ration though?
