I have long been a fan of Sunwarrior’s vegan protein powders and was recently contacted to review their Classic Plus Organic Raw Plant-Based Protein Powder line up. I sampled the vanilla and chocolate, but it also comes in a classic natural flavor.
Sunwarrior Classic Plus Protein Powders
Organic Certified Classic Plus builds on Sunwarrior’s original rice protein by adding in the amino acid balancing effects of peas, chia seeds, quinoa, and amaranth. This superfood combination still relies heavily on the gentle nature of whole-grain brown rice, but with a hefty dose of the strength that has made Warrior Blend so popular.
I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate protein into my everyday life. Smoothies are always a great way to use the powders, but today I decided to make high protein muffins! You’ll find a printable recipe for both versions at the end of this post.
First up, Banana Muffins using the vanilla protein powder. I topped some of those with vegan chocolate chips.
