Essential Protein Daily Shake 18+
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Complex, rich vanilla flavour described as far above average for plant-based protein
  • Blends smoothly in a shaker cup with no chalky texture
  • Clean formulation: no sugar, no sugar alcohols, and a complete amino acid profile
Reviewers push back
  • Leaves some residue on the sides of the shaker cup
  • Only one of the three reviews actually covers this product, limiting the evidence base
  • 20 g protein per serving is on the lower end compared with whey-based alternatives discussed across the review set
Reviewers who tested Ritual's plant-based protein shake agree it tastes unusually good for a vegan powder, mixes easily, and carries a clean ingredient list, though the product appears in only one dedicated review.
— best for: People who want a vegan, organic, low-sugar protein shake and are willing to accept a moderate protein content in exchange for a genuinely pleasant vanilla flavour.

I have tried so many plant-based protein powders, and most of them upset my stomach or just don't make me feel good. I finally tried this product and absolutely love it! No bad side effects at all. I mix it with a blend of almond milk and water, and the taste is fantastic. It’s the perfect way to get the quality protein I need as a vegan. Alexandra · ritual.com

Fantastic way to easily get 32 grams of Protein. Love this powder because not only is it delicious but being lactose-intolerant, this is the only product in the market my tummy will accept. I tried 7 others, from liquid to powders, this is the best. Using 1/3 cup oat milk, fresh or frozen fruit, cinnamon powder, 1/3 cup cold water and 2 scoops of this protein powder.
