You re did the pricing! You guys are SOOO awesome for this! Top notch and great integrity. Thank you so much for everything that went into this video!
i can't download the bundle :ccccc
Could you cut the crappy music and just make your point?
what is the catch?
Hmmm not getting this layout sheet. Looks like a lot of work! But the Google app thing isn’t making reading this easy.
I can’t imagine the prep work needed for the production of this video. Definitely thumbs up worthy. Great job everyone!
Thank you, Diva! It's worth it to help other vegans! 🌱
Honestly I've been wanting a video like this for years! I've gone through so many flavours and can't find the right one, they all taste like cardboard and I've wasted so much money throwing out so many. Most people on YT put out videos recommending a Brand/Flavour they're generally sponsored by, so can never trust them. So yes, trying 72 flavours of protein, you've just done Gods work. Haha. Really appreciate all the efforts for making this video, can really see the work you must have put behind it! Thank you!! 🙏
Thank you so much, Milli! We're here to help vegans in as many ways as we can! 💪
So whats your favorite one @milli

@@mimiyogini shush
Don't do raw .. if you don't wanna ruin your health
Such a helpful video, thank you! It would be great if more companies provided Heavy Metal testing results.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Wow!! You did AMAZING and you’re so funny! I shared this with my local gym fitness group.
Thank you for sharing this and glad you loved the video! 🙂💚
Y’all really did the damn thing! That’s dedication! Really appreciate the video.
It was A LOT of protein powder! Thank you for watching! 🙂
This video is so good! So informative! 🙌🏾 And quite entertaining as well. I laughed when he said the protein tasted like it came from under a boat. Lol
💚😆 Thank you so much for your kind comment, so glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow this was totally epic!! My god! Thank you SO much for the effort you all put into this!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂💚💪
Hi! I downloaded the selector tool, but my main thing is that I want to look at textureand I see that the taste category isn’t broken down but to be honest, I don’t really care about the flavor since I usually like to mix in no flavor with a bunch of fruits. Which one is the best for texture overall 😅
Wowee! The amount of work and effort going into this! I'm blown away! Thank you. I've been an avid sunwarrior protein powder user for over 6 years and I love baking with it.
Ooo very nice! Yes this project was definitely effort-intensive but I'm glad we did it! 😄🌱
Thanks for this .. I've been looking for a powder & love the blind taste test! You guys are Champs 72 times over!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
FYI: Switch Nutrition does not have any store outlets in the United States and they charge an arm and a leg to ship here. Also, they stopped manufacturing Green Beret, which is a shame because it was my favorite.
Thank you for your comment! We tried to cover as many brands as possible for our international friends as well. 🙂
THE BESSSSST REVIEW EVER‼️ 🏆👏🏼❤
Glad you loved the video!! 🙂
Loved this! Is there still a link to the full results?
Hi John! You can find all the details including the vegan protein powder selector in our bundle here: thevegangym.com/protein-bundle
Omg this is awesome! Would you ever do Prana on? I find they are never tested in reviews
Thank you for commenting, Monique! We'll have to keep Prana in mind for next time! 😊
Great video, you must have felt so full and possibly a little sick after all of those. Thank you for your hard work. I personally like form protein.
This was a super fun and interesting video! And thank you for putting yourselves through that- I would’ve 🤮 for sure!!
There were some challenging moments! 😆
This was comical. 😂 thanks for the help.
Thank you for watching! 😁
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks for taking one for the team 😂
I’ve tasted a ton of these…
But I only ever mix with water
My faves are 1)VEDGE vanilla + has great nutritional profile 👍🏼 2) OWYN chocolate 3) ORGAIN (regular) vanilla.
I’m excited to try the OPTIMUM NUTRITION 👏🏼
Thank you for watching, those are some great favorite choices!
how was the optimum nutrition?
@@ascendbmo9736 I haven’t tried it yet… I have a subscription for VEDGE that sends me 2 packs every 3 weeks 😂 I still want to try it though!
Have you tried any of the other vedge flavors? I looooove the vanilla one but wanna try the other flavors
I bought a organic plant based protein powder! It’s not bad! I am thinking on trying a different one! Any suggestions??
Thank you so much for your sacrifice🥲😉 I like OWYN too. Have you tried Lean Body's Vegan Protein shake? It's not bad IMO.
We'll have to check that one out, thank you for the recommendation! 🙂
@@TheVeganGymI found another one. I just ordered it. It’s from Australia called “IGNITE PRO” from the “TNT transformation”. It’s 115 calories and 23gr of protein, 4gr carbs, 2gr of fat, 1gr of sugar.
I did the calculation and that 92 calories from protein so I’m excited to try it.
I will let you know my thoughts!
I just purchased one of the ones you say taste good I am so spoiled with Kachava Do you have any that taste similar to that?
You guys are hysterical! It's been a year now, I think you should do an update 🤩
Hmm we'll see what we can do! 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you
I've only got 1 kidney and I have about 40% function in it.
Because I don't want to lose any function I am moving to plant based, the research just screams plant protein over animal for kidney function.
I really love that your protein bundle includes info on protein and kidney health. Bless you for that.
We're here to help! 😁
@@TheVeganGym It's pretty slow going at this point but I will share my victory at this point.
In Oct 2022 I was having 3 - 4 seizures a day 5 - 6 days a week because of full on brain and body overwhelm after being told I had cancer then having the kidney removed. If I had to walk more than across the house I needed a wheelchair. I'm currently walking 2 miles a day with a walker broken up based on what I can do in the moment. I haven't had a seizure since November and really starting to feel like I got this. I'm a long way off hiking all day like I used to but I'm climbing back up from the biggest low in my life. Y'all are a huge help!
Bless you 🥳🥳🥳😘
@@victoriaangel4740 Your story is incredible. Keep at it! 💪
I mean... if your worried about kidney function the protein powder you consume shouldn't be the first thing yiu run to. A couple things you should ask yourself is, "am I obese"? "Do I drink atleast 2 liters of water a day"? And "is my diet optimal for my best function as a human"? Beef, eggs fruit and vegetables. Worry about the basics first, (the things that caused you to loose the first kidney) and then worry about things like supplements because truth be told you can meat all your protein requirements with meat and eggs ❤
@@Loha2005 Animal proteins are harder on kidney function than plant protein it's very well known in the kidney disease community and one of the first things that the nutritionist specializing in kidney function will tell you. Moving to a more plant based diet has increased my kidney function from stage 3b to stage 3a basically from 33% to 45% function.
My kidney was removed because I had a tumor large enough to rupture. It was outside my kidney and wrapped around and growing into the renal artery. What that means is it was a ticking time bomb that would have led to sudden death when it eventually took out the wall of that artery and I bleed to death before anyone knew what was wrong with me. It was a benign tumor and no one knows why it developed, but had nothing to do with weight at all.
My nephrologist suggested protein shakes to make sure I was getting enough protein to heal properly after surgery so I think I will listen to him and what is clearly working. Don't worry it means there are more animal products for you left at the store. Enjoy them.
This was so entertaining 😂 I was literally laughing all the way through 😂😂
Glad to hear it, thank you for watching! 😊
What did you end up doing with all the protein powders? Thanks for this I've just started working out so in the market for a good protein powder
We kept all of the protein powders - we never need to shop for protein again! 😂
@@TheVeganGym so, you're going to drink the gross ones too? 😂
This is so helpful! I have been struggling for years to find a good vegan powder ❤️
Glad you found the video helpful! Got an idea for which powder you're going to start using?
I’m new doing plant based! I recently started! I was wondering what’s the best plant based protein out there?
Thanks for making this video. I’ve recently been using Vedge vanilla ice cream in smoothies and to make oatmeal and pancakes. It is a fine powder and blends easily. I’m looking to get a lot of protein in each day for muscle building, and this powder has made it easier. Tastes good too.
So glad you're enjoying the Vedge, Mark! 😊
@@TheVeganGym Thank you! I ordered the True Nutrition protein powder because of your review. Looking forward to getting it!
Thank you for sharing! I bought organic plant based protein powder! I’m thinking on buying a new one!
Looking for a vegan protein that taste good because close to none of them do and I've wasted hundreds trying to find a good one.
I understand your struggle. I've resorted to sweetening and adding different taste to plain ground peas. I like adding dates to my shakes for sure! 🌱😃
I have an idea for a video you should do the best vegan pre-workouts. I love your video a lot🔥
Great suggestion, thank you for watching! 😊
@@TheVeganGym That’s okay
This video deserves more likes 👍🏽
Thank you so much! 🙂
I’m SO sad the Protein Switch is so expensive to ship to the US
Hopefully that will change in the future! 🤞
Thank you x1000
Glad you found the video helpful!
hey, i wanted to ask, soy and pea protein have less bioavailability than whey protein, does that mean that my body will absorb lesser protein and isn't that a minus point on plant protein?
Great question! Plant-based protein sources such as corn, oats, beans, and potatoes do tend to exhibit lower digestibility than animal-based sources do. However, purified plant protein sources such as soy protein isolate, pea protein concentrate, and wheat gluten (seitan) display a digestibility that is similar to that of animal-based protein sources. Additionally, a study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that pea protein and whey protein have the same effect on developing muscle mass and strength. Here is the link to the study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4307635/
Oh I would have loved to see Canadian Protein on here.
Maybe next time! 💚
This video is criminally underrated!!!
Thank you very much! 💚
is it true that pea/rice combo protein is better? i see some non vegan fitness guru recommend it for vegan protein.
Great question! Pea protein does have one of the best digestibility levels of plant proteins so it is one of the best plant-based protein options. Rice protein has much lower digestibility.
Would recommend truvani? Just bought it and I'm really impressed with the Ingredients and how it tasted, but the heavy metal partis where I'm a little worried
Regarding Truvani heavy metals, when we reached out to them, they would not provide any 3rd party heavy metal testing Certificates of Analysis, but assured us their products were 3rd party tested and remained under the applicable regulatory limits for heavy metals.
Strong work guys- truly enjoyable 😂
Thank you, Courtney! 😊
I really appreciate all the effort you put into this project. My ask is that you also consider if the company is cruelty-free, as that actually is what is more important to me in choosing vegan products. Thank you again for all your hard work!
Hi Sondra, we appreciate your feedback for future videos! 🙂
You guys deserve medals for this one, I was starting to get queasy watching it, haha. Thank you for doing it!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely a lot of protein powder! 😂
Thankss
Thank you for watching!!
You guys are THE BEST vegan channel as far as I'm concerned.
Wow, thank you! 😄
you should do one that includes vegan protein powders from different MLM companies
i find they actually taste pretty good
shakeology, shaklee, isagenix etc
Thank you for your comment, but we prefer not to support those companies.
i cant find any reviews for the switch protein and they don’t sell it on amazon are you sure it’s good?
Hi Bryan, we loved Switch! Hope you enjoy it! 😊
@@TheVeganGym yea i got that it’s good i just can’t find it in amazon
I would be so curious about Nutiva. I have been using that in Vanilla and really like the flavor but didn't see it tested. I tried Orgain chocolate and hated it but you seemed to like it when you tasted it. I had no clue there are over 70 different brands of plant based protein powders.
We feel very lucky we get such a great selection of plant-based protein powders! Thank you for commenting! 😊
If you haven’t tried Core Nutritionals I highly recommend them. Thank you for this video.
I think a big part of the nutrition component is the amount of sodium -- some of the winners scored highly in terms of clean ingredients but also have ridiculously high amounts of sodium e.g. Switch Plant Protein at 450mg per serving
To be fair after a good workout you'll need to replenish a lot of sodium so it evens out. You can lose 500mg just from one hour of working out
Whats the best vanilla you can get on amazon in USA?
Most of the protein powders featured on our video are available on Amazon! 🙂
That was entertaining 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😊
Can someone link to me where I can buy the switch chocolate protein powder?
Here you go! switchnutrition.com.au/collections/protein-switch/products/protein-switch
The vegan gym rocks! Coach Laura is a genius.
Thank you - Coach Laura is truly incredible! 💚
Unlike most non-vegan protein powders that are just a thousand flavors of whey, do you think some specific plant proteins taste better than others? Or do you get the feeling that they're all pretty much the same. At least for me the nicest I've tried is almond and my least favorite is soy.
Thumbs up to to you guys!🥰
Thank you 🤗
This is the single best video that I’ve ever seen in my life and I’m not even vegan
Seriously contemplating going vegan after this tho
You should give it a try! We have loads of resources on our channel! 🌱🙂
Can you do one on multivitamins?
I've used Plant Fusion vanilla ever since your old vegan protein powder review. Still love it - but I am now excited to try some of the new top 5 powders! Thanks for the in-depth work! 💚
Awesome, so happy to hear you're enjoying the Plant Fusion, Joaquin! Let us know if you get to try any of the others! 😊
