I have worked for a nutrition retailer in the past, and am an active gym goer, so I have tried my fair share of powdered proteins. The most abundant form of protein powder is whey, as whey is inexpensive, highly bioavailable, fast absorbing, and rich with the necessary amino acids for building muscle. But whey causes a lot of digestive discomfort for many, creating a need for alternative sources of protein. And sometimes it's just nice to take a break from whey. Jarrow Plant Proteins is an excellent option and might now be my favorite plant-based protein powder.

PROS:
* Mixes well in both water and milk, with little to no clumping
* Flavor is surprisingly palatable, even enjoyable, and mixes well with fresh fruits for a fantastic smoothie
* Excellent source of fiber (5g)
* Low in calories, fat and carbs, while yielding a high protein content
* Gluten, soy and dairy free
* Very clean ingredient profile with no unnecessary fillers/additives, and no artificial colors

CONS:
* Texture might be considered a little gritty, but isn't a deal breaker
* Price per serving is a tad on the high side (as of this posting, about $1/serving)
* Could be a little sweeter to enhance palatability
