Boho Protein Powder vs Applied Critical Plant Protein

Pros

• ✓Completely free from artificial sweeteners, flavourings, stevia, sucralose, and gums — genuinely clean label
• ✓Multi-source blend (pea, pumpkin, sunflower, flax, chia) provides a more complete amino acid profile than single-source plant proteins
• ✓Smooth texture with minimal grittiness — mixes well in water, plant milk, smoothies, and even soups
• ✓No bloating or digestive discomfort reported — well-tolerated across multiple reviewers

Cons

• ✗Unflavoured 'planty' taste requires an adjustment period — not pleasant with plain water for most users
• ✗Not third-party tested, limiting independent verification of label accuracy
• ✗Cross-contamination risk with peanuts and sesame — unsuitable for those with relevant allergies
• ✗Small 17.5g serving size delivers modest absolute protein per scoop; users often use two scoops

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
