If you haven’t yet tried the new raw vegan protein in town, now’s a great time to give it a shot. That’s because I was chatting with Brent by email this evening… and he gave me the thumbs up to offer you this

Note: I don’t know how long this will work (he wouldn’t tell me), so if you come across this post some months in the future, you might as well try, but no guarantee. As with the other coupon codes I come across, I’ll try to keep the sidebar updated.

I recently had the privilege of trying samples of a new raw vegan protein powder shortly before it was made available to the public. This stuff is awesome!

While I usually take my protein powders unflavored to keep the calories as low as possible, the samples were chocolate and vanilla. They were delicious treats, and since only sweetened with stevia, the calories aren’t that much higher anyway. In the future, I’ll get the natural, but I’m glad I got to try these, since I probably would’ve passed them by otherwise.

Compared to some other rice protein powders, it mixed extremely well with just a spoon. I enjoyed mine in a warm beverage, like tea or Dandy Blend or (shhh…) the cup of coffee I allow myself each day.

As for the cost, it’s significantly more expensive than standard high-heat processed vegetable proteins, but if raw is what you want, raw is what they deliver. We’re talking sprouted rice that’s never been heated above 90 °F!

They also make some impressive claims about the amino acid profile and digestibility. I’m not sure where the 85% came from, as my math gave either 76% using grams or 91% by calories. Anyone??

My suggestion—the one I’ll be following—is to take them up on their bulk order deal to avoid shipping charges, which at 2.2 lbs per container could be quite the savings.
