Organic protein powder without soy is available for people who want to avoid this ingredient, which is likely to contain GMOs.

Most soy crops grown in the US are now genetically modified.

Protein powder is often consumed by people who lift weights or for anyone who wants to increase their muscle mass. Others may mix a scoop of powder in their favorite breakfast smoothie, for added nutrition.

However, the list of ingredients in some of the popular powders is anything but appetizing. If you consume some of them, you may want to rethink this “healthy” practice. You might find that your favorite powdered drink is filled with chemicals, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners and other additives. They may also contain genetically modified ingredients, which have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals.

Fortunately, consumers can now find some protein powders that are totally organic. Best of all, these vegetable-based powders taste great and they’re within the price range of some of the other high-end protein powder drinks.

Organic Protein Powder Without Soy

Garden of Life raw organic protein derived from sprouted grains that don’t contain gluten. These include brown rice, amaranth, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, garbanzo bean and more. There are also raw greens, such as oat and alfalfa, as well as dark-colored berries. The chocolate flavor, shown below, is sweetened with stevia.

Perhaps you have heard the controversy that Garden of Life protein powders contain heavy metals. I did research this before publishing this article. You can be assured I’m not writing glowing statements about a bad product.

The truth is that everything we eat, breathe and drink now contains traces of toxins, and Garden of Life contains no more than you’d find in regular organic veggies. So I can confidently recommend this brand. In fact, according to other published reports, the company is now exceeding industry standards by testing all of the water used to irrigate the brown rice used in this formula.

Garden of Life Raw Meal is available in chocolate, vanilla and unflavored, and is free of gluten, dairy and soy. Click to View Price.
