Last week, I wrote about one of our favorite whey-protein powders on sale. (The main difference between whey protein and plant-based protein is that whey protein comes from cow’s milk.) But if you’re looking for a deal on a plant-based powder, today’s a good time to snag the KOS superfood protein powder on sale. Right now, the 1.2 pound tub is 38 percent off, and the 2.3 pound size is on sale for even more, at 42 percent off.
I’ve tried over a dozen different protein powders (I’m always testing more), and the main takeaway I have from taste-testing them is usually about sweetness. A lot of powders tend to balance out the chalky, bland notes of their whey- or plant-based protein with artificial sweeteners, which often results in a bitter, medicinal flavor — that’s why my favorite powders have more subtle sweetness to them. Erythritol is a common artificial sweetener, and this KOS powder doesn’t have any of it — it’s just made with organic ingredients such as pea protein, pumpkin seed, chia seed, flaxseed, and quinoa, and it’s sweetened with coconut sugar, stevia, and monk-fruit extracts. I haven’t gotten a chance to try this KOS powder yet, but if you prefer to steer clear of sugar substitutes and their artificial tastes, then this powder will be your best bet — especially for nearly 40 percent off.
