BodyMe Naked Protein Blend vs Applied Critical Plant Protein

Pros

• ✓Certified organic, GMO-free, and gluten-free with no artificial additives, sweeteners, or fillers
• ✓Complete amino acid profile (all 9 essential amino acids) from three complementary plant sources
• ✓Mixes adequately in smoothies and blends well into yoghurt or savoury dishes
• ✓Ethical brand positioning — 10% net profit to charity, small-batch blended in Great Britain

Cons

• ✗Strong earthy, pea-forward flavour widely described as unpleasant when mixed with water alone
• ✗Gritty, clay-like texture noted by several reviewers, with sediment settling in liquid
• ✗Not third-party tested for purity or label accuracy
• ✗Requires creative recipe experimentation — unsuitable for those wanting a ready-to-drink shake

Best For

Pros

• ✓High protein yield (~24g per 30g serving) with a complete amino acid profile from the pea/soya/rice blend
• ✓Most reviewers report good mixability and a palatable taste, especially chocolate and strawberry flavours
• ✓Well-tolerated digestively by the majority—notably low bloating and gas compared to whey
• ✓Excellent value for money at the 1.8kg size (~60 servings)

Cons

• ✗Flavour divides opinion—some detect an earthy, raw-grain or 'raw potato' taste, especially vanilla
• ✗One user reported excessive foaming and found the taste unacceptable
• ✗Digestive adjustment can be significant for some users; one reviewer noted pronounced GI disruption in the first days
• ✗No third-party testing (e.g. Informed Sport) — notable absence given the soya allergen content and gym market
