Garden of Life’s Goatein powder was developed for athlete’s who want a protein alternative to whey, soy, or casein based protein supplements. Produced from goats milk, Goatein provides users with a complete protein, contains all eight essential amino acids, and easier to assimilate into the body than most overly processed whey proteins.

Goatein provides the body with thirteen grams of protein per serving–about half the dose of leading whey and casein supplements. But the difference this product makes is that its easily absorbed into the system, used fully–and digested easily. Many protein-supplement users struggle to find the balance between quantity verses quality in the sports nutrition world. Goatein guarantees you will experience good results using their product.

Supplement Profile

Goatein is a clean cut protein, with only essential nutrients and no additives. The vanilla flavor comes from all natural vanilla extract.

Goatein comes from well-treated goats that munch on grass all day. None of these animals were fed herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, or growth hormones.

Goats milk is more similar to human breast milk and thus is easier on the digestive track than cow’s milk. It is often used as a replacement for children’s formula because infants can assimilate the ingredients more easily into their sensitive digestive systems.

We recommend doubling up on the serving so that you can get more protein. 13 grams is on the small side, especially if you’re doing hardcore workouts.

All in all we would recommend Goatein because its a great product, not to mention wholesome.
