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 Vega Sport Premium Protein
Plant-based athletes who need NSF-certified vegan protein with recovery ingredients
Vega Sport is the premier NSF-certified plant-based protein for athletes. The multi-source blend provides a complete amino acid profile, and added recovery ingredients like tart cherry give it functional edge. Plant-based heavy metal concerns and premium pricing are the trade-offs.
Strengths
- NSF Certified for Sport with 30g plant-based protein per serving
- Multi-source plant blend (pea, pumpkin seed, sunflower, alfalfa) for complete amino profile
- Added tart cherry and turmeric for post-workout recovery support
Limitations
- Some Consumer Reports concern over heavy metals in plant-based proteins generally
- Strong stevia taste can be polarizing for some palates
- Premium price at $3.00/serving for 20 servings per container
