Product Summary

Now Sports Plant Protein Complex provides 22 grams of protein and 3.9 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for vegetarian and vegan athletes. This powder uses a combination of pea, hemp, and quinoa. Now Sports recommends checking with your governing body prior to use if you are a competitive athlete because of the hemp included. 

This protein has very mixed reviews on taste. Negative reviews thought the protein was grainy, tasted bad and had an aftertaste. Positive reviews shared that the protein mixed well. They also liked that it had a variety of protein sources and was a good price.
