The short version
- Two scoops (46 g) give 21 g of plant protein, 150 calories, 7 g of fiber, less than 1 g of sugar and 390 mg of sodium, according to the Nutrition Facts panel shown on the listing.
- $31.98 on Sep 30, 2026 for the 2.03 lb tub (about 20 servings), sold by Amazon.com: roughly $1.60 per serving, or about 7.6 cents per gram of protein.
- The label carries USDA Organic and Certified Plant Based seals. It carries no sport anti-doping certification, and the listing marks it non-returnable.
Not a workout tool; it goes in a glass, not in the routine.
A protein top-up for the one meal that is usually short on it, most often breakfast.
It can be the after-session shake, but a normal meal does the same job.
What the label shows
We read the Nutrition Facts panel and ingredient list photographed on the Amazon listing for the Creamy Chocolate Fudge 2.03 lb tub, and cross-checked it against Orgain's own product page, on September 30, 2026. A serving is two scoops (46 g), and the panel says "about 20 servings per container." Percent Daily Values below are the FDA label values, which use 2,000 calories a day as the reference [1].
| Ingredient | Amount per serving | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 150 | Not a diet drink. Orgain's own footnote on the product page reads "not a low caloric food." |
| Protein | 21 g (30% DV) | From a blend of organic pea, brown rice, mung bean and chia. The label Daily Value for protein is 50 g, so one serving covers 30% of it. |
| Total fat | 4.5 g (6% DV) | Mostly from the sunflower-oil "creamer base." Saturated fat is 1 g; trans fat 0 g; cholesterol 0 mg. |
| Total carbohydrate | 15 g (5% DV) | Nearly half of it is fiber (below). Total sugars are "less than 1 g," with 0 g added sugars. |
| Dietary fiber | 7 g (25% DV) | Mainly agave inulin and acacia. The Amazon title says "6g prebiotic fiber"; the panel photographed on the same listing and Orgain's page both say 7 g, so we use 7. Inulin-type fibers can cause gas until you are used to them. |
| Sodium | 390 mg (17% DV) | The number most people miss. Two shakes a day would be a third of the 2,300 mg Daily Value before you eat anything else. |
| Iron | 8 mg (45% DV) | Plant proteins bring iron with them. Worth knowing if you also take a multivitamin or a separate iron product. |
| Potassium / calcium | 290 mg / 80 mg (6% / 6% DV) | Small amounts. Vitamin D is 0 mcg. |
| Sweetener and flavor | — | Organic stevia extract (Reb A), organic alkalized cocoa, organic natural flavors, sea salt. No sucralose, no erythritol. |
The full ingredient statement, as photographed on the listing, is: Orgain Organic Protein Blend (organic pea protein, organic brown rice protein, organic mung bean protein, organic chia seed), Orgain Creamer Base (organic acacia, organic high oleic sunflower oil, organic rice dextrin, sunflower lecithin, organic rosemary extract), organic alkalized cocoa, organic natural flavors, organic agave inulin fiber, organic Reb A (stevia extract), sea salt, organic acacia, organic guar gum, xanthan gum. The label states the product is vegan, gluten free, non-GMO, made without soy ingredients; the front of the tub shows the USDA Organic seal, and the label panel on Orgain's page shows a Certified Organic certifier logo, a Certified Plant Based seal, an OU kosher symbol and a Certified B Corporation mark. We saw the organic seal on the tub photo and on Orgain's page; we did not pull the USDA organic database record ourselves. None of these marks is a sport anti-doping certification: there is no NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Choice or Informed Sport mark on this product, and Amazon's own bullet text only says that "third parties" verify the organic and plant-based claims.
What the evidence shows
How much protein a normal adult needs. The baseline recommendation cited by Harvard's Nutrition Source, from the National Academy of Medicine, is 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day: about 50 g a day for a 140 lb adult and about 70 g for a 200 lb adult [2]. The International Society of Sports Nutrition's position stand on protein says that 0.8 g/kg allowance is not an appropriate amount for people in training, and suggests 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg/day for people who exercise regularly, ideally split into doses of roughly 20 to 40 g every three to four hours [3]. A 21 g serving is one of those doses, no more. Harvard also notes that many people in the US already eat more than enough protein, so the honest first question is whether you are short at all [2].
Plant protein against dairy protein. The ISSN stand is plain that dairy and animal proteins have a higher share of essential amino acids and more leucine per gram than plant sources, and that combining plant sources improves the profile [3]. Orgain does combine sources (pea, rice, mung bean, chia), and the amino acid table on Orgain's product page lists 1,770 mg of leucine per serving, which sits inside the 700 to 3,000 mg per-dose range the ISSN stand describes, toward the lower half [3] [4]. That is a number on paper from the maker; we did not test it. For a person eating mixed meals across the day, the difference between a plant blend and a whey isolate is small; if this is your main protein source, the leucine gap is the one thing worth knowing.
The fiber. Seven grams is a quarter of the 28 g Daily Value in one glass [1]. Inulin and acacia are soluble fibers; the only practical note is that people who eat little fiber sometimes get bloating or gas when they add this much at once, which usually settles with a smaller serving to start.
What the seller claims and we do not. The listing's bullet points make statements about "gut support" from the fiber and position the powder for workouts and as an on-the-go meal replacement. Those are Orgain's claims, carrying the usual "not evaluated by the FDA" disclaimer, and we do not evaluate them here. Harvard's page also notes that, like other dietary supplements, protein powders are not regulated by the FDA for safety, and that labels should be read carefully [2]. A protein powder is food in a convenient form. It does not change what your week looks like on its own.
This is a 150-calorie, 390 mg-sodium serving, not a free add-on. If you already eat enough protein, it adds calories and sodium without a clear reason. The tub is "made without" soy and dairy ingredients rather than certified allergen-free, so read the panel on the tub you receive. Because of the iron content, add it up with any multivitamin you take. Ask a clinician first if you are pregnant, nursing, or take medication.
How to fit it into a simple week
This is a sequence for using the tub sensibly, not a promise about what will happen.
Find the meal that is short
Write down what you actually eat at breakfast on a normal weekday. If it is toast and coffee, that is the slot. If dinner already has chicken, beans or eggs, leave dinner alone.
Mix two scoops, then adjust the liquid
Start with 10 to 12 oz of water or an unsweetened plant milk. Orgain's own directions blend it with almond milk, a spoon of almond butter and a banana; that turns it into a 300-plus-calorie meal, so decide which you want.
Use it on the days it is needed, not by default
A shake on the days you skip a real breakfast, and food on the days you do not, is a perfectly good pattern. There is no reason to drink one every day just because the tub is open.
Judge it after the first tub
Twenty servings is a few weeks. Ask one question: did it replace something worse, or add to something that was already fine? Re-order on that answer, not on the label.
Price and where it is sold
On Amazon we saw $31.98 on Sep 30, 2026 for the 2.03 lb (920 g) Creamy Chocolate Fudge tub, ASIN B00J074W94, shown as "In Stock" and "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com." Amazon's own unit price was $0.99 per ounce; by serving that is about $1.60 for two scoops, or about 7.6 cents per gram of protein. The same day, Orgain's website listed the identical tub at $37.99 for a one-time purchase, so on that day Amazon was the cheaper of the two. The listing carries a "non-returnable due to food safety reasons" notice; Amazon offers a refund or replacement only if the item arrives damaged or defective. Other flavors (vanilla, peanut butter and more) and other sizes are offered through the same listing's variation menu. Prices move; these are the numbers we saw on that date only.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone keeping a close eye on sodium; at 390 mg a serving this is one of the saltier protein powders we have read.
- People who want more leucine per gram from a dairy source should compare the Dymatize ISO100 whey isolate entry.
- Tested athletes who need a product listed by NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport; this product carries neither mark.
- People who dislike the taste of stevia, since it is the only sweetener here.
- Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, takes medication or already takes an iron supplement should ask a clinician or pharmacist first.
