Plant Protein Blend

Most single plant proteins are lower in one or more essential amino acids — rice is light on lysine, pea on methionine — so blends combine sources to approach a complete profile. Soy is the exception: complete on its own and a strong protein-quality scorer. Blends are the practical answer for dairy-free buyers; the checks are the same plus one, since plant powders vary more in taste and grit, which owner consensus reports well and we label as reported experience. Read grams per serving carefully — some plant powders run a lower protein density per scoop than whey, which changes the dollars-per-20g math.
