New from PhD is Protein Superfood, a powder you mix with a small amount of water to give a pretty intense nutritional boost to your daily diet. Each 25g serving boasts 14g of protein from three different plant sources (brown rice, pea and hemp), making it good for those who can’t use whey or soya protein, as well as 6g of carbs and only 98 calories. All the ingredients are from natural sources, including the sweetener thaumatin, and include sweet potato, pumpkin, five ‘super-fruits’ such as goji berry and pomegranate, and a ‘greens’ blend including nutrient-dense spirulina and chlorella. Both gluten- and dairy-free, the taste is very sweet and the chalky texture and green colour won’t be to everyone’s taste. It mixes best using a blender, but it can also be shaken together in a water bottle, although the single large-scoop design makes it difficult to measure out a half-scoop serving accurately.
