Overview
Garden of Life RAW Organic Protein provides 22g of protein from 13 organic sprouted grains, seeds, and legumes including pea, brown rice, amaranth, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, and more. The sprouting process increases bioavailability and reduces anti-nutrients. Each serving includes 4 billion CFU probiotics and 13 enzymes for digestive support. The RAW designation means it's produced below 115°F to preserve natural enzymes and cofactors. This is the original premium organic plant protein that set the standard for the category.
