When to Choose Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder
Budget-conscious organic shoppers (note: Consumer Reports heavy metal flag)

- Good taste consistently praised in user reviews for a plant-based powder
- Affordable at $1.80/serving compared to premium plant-based competitors

- No NSF or Informed Sport certification for banned substance testing
