Nutrition Overview of Vitable's Plant Protein
Vitable’s Plant Protein is a refined-sugar-free and non-GMO formula made with organic pea protein isolate, natural vanilla flavours, digestive enzymes (bromelain), monk fruit extract, stevia extract and guar gum.
The 375g, 15-serving pouch retails for $35.00 / month. One serving is two heaped tablespoons which provide 25g of protein. This is a great amount of protein per serving, particularly for a plant-based protein. However, as someone who uses protein every day in smoothies, I went through this pouch very quickly (within two weeks). On subscription, I would need two packs to make it through at least one month, so keep this in mind if you are someone who consumes protein daily.
Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids, which are important for muscle growth and repair. The digestive enzyme bromelain (sourced from pineapple) is a great addition to the formula. Bromelain is a well-researched enzyme that supports the breakdown of proteins, reducing any bloating or discomfort commonly associated with some protein powders. Like the Collagen Creamer, the use of monk fruit as well as stevia extract means this protein powder is low GI and low sugar.
My Experience
The powder mixed well in my smoothies, and even alone in water. The taste was smooth, not chalky, and not overly sweet either – it was comparable to Nuzest’s Pea Protein which is a high-quality protein powder. I felt great taking the protein, no bloating or discomfort thanks to the bromelain and I was very satisfied after my smoothies.
The price point is reasonable, with competing plant-based proteins ranging from $35.00 for 250g (Nuzest). However, as I ran out after two weeks, I believe better value for money can be found with brands such as The Healthy Chef.
