When to Choose Legion Whey+ Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate

Health-conscious lifters who want grass-fed isolate with natural sweeteners and full transparency

Legion Whey+ combines grass-fed Irish whey isolate with a clean, naturally sweetened formula. Labdoor A+ rating and published lab results provide strong purity assurance even without NSF certification. The taste is consistently praised for a natural-sweetener protein.

Strengths

  • Naturally sweetened with stevia and erythritol — no artificial sweeteners or dyes
  • Grass-fed whey isolate from Irish dairy with full label transparency
  • Labdoor A+ rated with published independent lab test results

Limitations

  • Not NSF Certified for Sport — relies on Labdoor independent testing
  • Stevia-erythritol blend sweetener may have a slight aftertaste for some
  • Slightly more expensive than comparable isolates at $1.67/serving

When to Choose Ritual Essential Protein Daily Shake 18+

Consumers who prioritize complete supply chain transparency and traceable sourcing

Ritual takes transparency further than any competitor by tracing every ingredient to its source farm. USP-verified with published batch COAs and North American regenerative sourcing make it the most transparent plant-based option. The premium price reflects that traceability commitment.

Strengths

  • Industry-leading supply chain transparency with traceable ingredients from specific farms
  • Third-party tested by USP and published COAs for every batch
  • Plant-based pea protein sourced from North American regenerative farms

Limitations

  • Only 20g protein per serving — lower than most whey competitors
  • Expensive at $2.67/serving with only 15 servings per container
  • Plant-based formula may have slightly grittier texture than whey
