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
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
