Less is more. Less Calories • Less Carbs • Less Sugar
The best-tasting, most complete plant-protein is now available in 11oz ready-to-drink bottles! Most non-dairy shakes are made with cheap filler ingredients like soy and rice. But the PlantFusion ready-to-drink is crafted from the same potent protein ingredients that made our Complete Protein powders so popular. And, as always, PlantFusion contains no dairy, no soy, no gluten, nothing artificial, and is non-GMO.
Let’s stick to the facts!.... the ”supplement facts”

- Premium ingredients that deliver complete protein along with better taste and texture
- Less carbs, sugar, and calories than any other non-dairy RTD

Is PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink free of all the major food allergens?
Yes, PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink is free of all the major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish [e.g., bass, flounder, cod], crustacean shellfish [e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp], tree nuts [e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans], peanuts, wheat [gluten], and soybean) as identified in the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004.
Does PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink contain GMO (genetically modified) ingredients?
No, the ingredients used to formulate have all been carefully selected to ensure purity and potency. PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink has been tested and confirmed non-GMO.
What about sweeteners? Is PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink high in sugar?
PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink has just 6 grams of sugar per serving and has the lowest carbohydrate or sugar content of any non-dairy protein shake on the market. At only 6 grams of sugar per serving, it has a very low and favorable glycemic index rating. The sweetness in our PlantFusion® Protein Ready-to-Drink is derived from a combination of Stevia, organic evaporated cane sugar and non-GMO crystalline fructose. Stevia is a natural, non-caloric sweetener made from the leaves of a South American plant. Our organic evaporated cane sugar is the unrefined remains of sap extracted from sugar cane. By not being refined, it retains more nutrients than other forms of sugar. The Fructose is crystalline fructose, which is 98% pure fructose (the other 2% is naturally occurring water and minerals). Crystalline fructose is very different than high fructose corn syrup, which is 55% fructose, the rest being glucose. Therefore, crystalline fructose is digested more slowly and has a much lower glycemic index than that of regular granulated sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
What is the Amino Acid Profile?
The Amino Acid Profile is the same proprietary blend as our PlantFusion® protein. It consists of pea, artichoke, sprouted organic amaranth, and sprouted organic quinoa proteins that are fortified with glutamine and branch chain amino acids. The end result is a protein supplement that is easy to digest but still offers superior overall amino acid content when compared to other proteins (including whey and soy).
Can I use this as a meal replacement?

Why is Carrageenan added? Is it safe?

Poligeenan is a chemical derivative of carrageenan used in industrial products that has been considered toxic. The Carrageenan we use is a food grade water soluble fiber derived from seaweed. It has been classified a “GRAS” by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USDA). “GRAS” stands for Generally Recognized as Safe.
