Health Editor's Review Of Form Nutrition's Superblend Protein

As a vegetarian, I often turn to protein powders to ensure I'm getting enough plant-based protein. But as most people know, a lot of vegan protein powders leave something to be desired. They're either chalky or taste like feet. And when protein powders actually taste like the fruit loops or other unique flavor promised on the label, their ingredient lists leave something to be desired.

As a smoothie connoisseur of sorts, I've always wanted a protein powder that either disappears into my recipes or adds rich flavor to my blend. Unfortunately, most protein powders do the opposite—they add a distinct artificial taste that dominates the recipe and makes it almost undrinkable.

What's more, I need enough protein in my supplement to make it worthwhile. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein in women is 0.8 gram per kilogram of body weight1 per day (at a minimum), which would be around 46 grams daily for me.

But given that I'm in the gym three or four times a week working toward building lean muscle, I know I need to bump up my daily intake. As a 130-pound woman, I tend to aim for about 70 to 75 grams of protein daily—I don't always hit it, but I try my best to get close. 

Form Nutrition's Superblend Protein comes in a few different flavors, but my absolute favorite is the Chocolate Salted Caramel—and yes, it tastes just like that. It's sweet but not too sweet, thanks to the combination of stevia leaf extract and thaumatin, a protein from the African Katemfe fruit.

With a whopping 20 grams of protein, it certainly checks the box of a worthy protein supplement. For me, one smoothie with this protein powder takes care of nearly 30% of my protein intake for the day.

And we're talking about a nearly complete amino acid profile too. The organic base utilizes pea protein with brown rice and hemp protein to create the ultimate vegan protein profile. 

But the best part is that it's so much more than just powdered protein: This blend also contains a long list of additional nutrients at 50% of the daily value or more including vitamins D, B12, C, zinc, pantothenic acid, and more.

For those seeking even more protein per serving, consider Form's Performance Protein—a unique blend with 30 grams of plant protein along with BCAAs to aid in muscle recovery.* This one comes in chocolate peanut, tiramisu, and vanilla, so you have even more options to work with. I've tried this one as well, and the tiramisu is my personal favorite.

Another lovely perk is the chic packaging that's fully compostable, so this one is good for you and the planet. It doesn't come with a plastic scoop like most protein powders do (for the sake of less waste), so use your measuring spoons to scoop two leveled tablespoons into your drink.

You're probably wondering: What's the best way to use it?

Simply blend up your ingredients to meet a consistency you enjoy. If the initial product is too thick, add a bit more milk and continue blending. This recipe works with any of the protein flavors, too.
