Ascent Native Fuel Pea Protein

our score
#9 of 12 ranked · 25 g protein per 1 scoop (33 g)

Ascent's pea protein is a single ingredient, third-party tested for banned substances the same way their whey is. Worth knowing: pea protein on its own runs low in methionine, so it does not carry the full amino acid profile the way a blended plant protein or an animal protein does.

Not on its own. pea protein isolate does not supply the full set of essential amino acids by itself, so pair it with another protein source or a blended plant protein across the day.
