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.†

    Consistency

    With the recommended 1/3 cup, the consistency is too thick . I adjust either the powder or the liquid, but then not getting the recommended nutrients based off of the dose.

    Protein shake

    I think the flavor is just okay and it would be nice to have a different option in flavor other than vanilla. But I do like it because it doesn’t upset my stomach or make me feel bloated.
