Raising the Bar on Heavy Metal Transparency

  1. RIGOROUSLY TESTED FOR HEAVY METALS

    When it comes to plants like cocoa and peas, there’s no such thing as heavy metal free. That’s why we took our time finding a high-quality cocoa supplier that meets our standards when it comes to heavy metals. And we continue to raise the bar in transparency by third-party testing every lot for heavy metals and sharing the results for one of our latest released lots on our Certificate of Traceability.

  2. RESPONSIBLY SOURCED COCOA

    Our cocoa is carefully sourced from Cocoa farming that supports women’s economic empowerment and helps reduce the risk of human rights violation.

  3. POWERED BY SUSTAINABLY SOURCED REGENERATIVE ORGANIC PEAS†

    We source our regenerative organic peas† exclusively from North American farms, which reduces carbon emissions, increases soil biodiversity and enhances ecosystem services by capturing carbon and nitrogen in the soil.

    †Essential Protein is not organic and includes a combination of organic & non-organic ingredients

  4. CLEAN FORMULA, SUGAR FREE‡

    Essential Protein is soy-free, gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and it’s formulated without GMOs, stevia, sugar or sugar alcohols, and artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.

Our protein is sourced from regenerative-farmed peas grown exclusively in North America to lower the risk of high levels of heavy metal contamination and reduce our products' carbon footprint. We partner with our Supplier PURIS, who works with their network of hundreds of farmers on hundreds of thousands of acres to ensure a system of farming principles and practices that can increase soil biodiversity, enrich soil, improve water-sheds, and enhance ecosystem services through the capture of carbon and nitrogen in the soil.

We go above and beyond when it comes to testing because we believe you deserve to know what you’re putting in your body and why. That’s why we not only do our own testing, but we also achieved Clean Label Project certification.

The Clean Label Project certification is considered one of the strictest for protecting consumers from harmful contaminants. CLP independently tests for hundreds of environmental contaminants and harmful chemicals like heavy metals (including lead, mercury, and glyphosate), pesticide residues, plasticizers, and antibiotic residues.

Additionally, our protein is tested for identity, purity, and composition so we can be sure that what’s on the label is what’s in the product. We also complete third-party testing to help ensure our products are compliant with regulations and guidelines for heavy metals, microbes, and major allergens and to help assure the quality and safety of our products.

We're always looking for ways to be more sustainable, and we found that by removing the scoop from our packaging we could reduce Essential Protein's carbon footprint by 22% while also eliminating plastic.† Instead of the scoop, you can use 5 tablespoons or ⅓ cup per serving. This is just one of the ways we are working towards our goal of 100% sustainable packaging by 2025.

†Based on Ritual internal 2024 LCA

Our bag is made with 45% PCR (Post Consumer Recycled Material) and produces 84% fewer carbon emissions than plastic tubs.†

†Based on Ritual internal 2024 LCA

Prop 65 is a California law requiring warnings about potential exposure to certain chemicals, including naturally occurring heavy metals in plants. Heavy metals occur naturally in crops like cocoa and peas, and cannot be removed from the environment. We always strive to keep levels below Prop 65 standards, partner with trusted suppliers, and third-party test every lot of our protein for heavy metals. You can view the results for one of our latest released lots of protein on our Certificate of Traceability.

    Great taste

    It's pricey considering it's only 15 servings. But I'm not protein crazy and wouldn't consume it every day anyway. I blend it with nondairy milk, chia seeds, and raw greens for added texture. Taste is great, no sweetener needed.

    Great meal replacement!

    I really like this protein shake. It blends very well when stirred and is not lumpy. It’s not to sweet or artificial tasting which is a plus! A great meal replacement!

    Pretty Good!!

    I am not usually a big protein powder girlie, but I was pleasantly surprised by this! It isn’t gritty, and it is flavorful without being overpowering. It also didn’t upset my stomach, which is a huge win. I still don’t love the texture it brings to a smoothie, but for a morning boost, I’ll take it!!

    Delicious taste with great packaging

    The Rituals essential daily protein shake is a healthy option that has a delicious taste. The texture is thick so you should probably use a blender to blend it. It took awhile for the product to absorb into my milk. It smells and taste really great but took awhile to dissolve. I didn’t experience any side effects.

    Easy addition!

    I love the type of resealing technology used on this package! No question it is resealed and fresh. This was super easy to add into my meals- overnight oats and smoothies in particular. It was smooth and the flavor was subtle which made it easy to incorporate.
