When to Choose Naked Whey 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein
Minimalists who want single-ingredient grass-fed whey with zero additives
Naked Whey is the ultimate minimalist protein powder — one ingredient: grass-fed whey concentrate. Cold-processed and additive-free, it scores highest on ingredient purity. The lack of major third-party certification is the main drawback, though they do publish some lab testing.
Strengths
- True single-ingredient protein — literally just grass-fed whey concentrate
- Cold-processed to preserve natural whey proteins and bioactive compounds
- Excellent value at $1.25/serving with 76 servings in the 5lb bag
Limitations
- No major third-party certification (no NSF, Informed Sport, or Labdoor)
- Flavored versions add organic coconut sugar, increasing carbs slightly per serving
- Uses concentrate rather than isolate — slightly higher fat/carbs per serving
When to Choose Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder
Budget-conscious organic shoppers (note: Consumer Reports heavy metal flag)
Orgain offers affordable USDA Organic plant protein with good taste, but Consumer Reports found lead at 143% over CA Prop 65 limits. The organic certification and pleasant flavor make it appealing, but the heavy metal data is a significant concern that health-conscious buyers should weigh carefully.
Strengths
- USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified with 21g plant-based protein
- Good taste consistently praised in user reviews for a plant-based powder
- Affordable at $1.80/serving compared to premium plant-based competitors
Limitations
- Consumer Reports found 0.72μg lead/serving — 143% over CA Prop 65 limit
- Uses organic erythritol and stevia which some find has an aftertaste
- No NSF or Informed Sport certification for banned substance testing
