What Makes Our Vegan Powders Unique

We offer three organic, non-GMO vegan protein powders — each crafted to support different nutritional goals. All three are 100% plant-based, free from phytates, and blended with natural superfoods to deliver both flavor and functional health benefits.

Two of our formulas are made with sprouted rice protein, known for its high digestibility and complete amino acid profile. The third is based on organic hemp seed protein, rich in fiber, essential fatty acids, and bioavailable protein.

  • Richoco (sprouted rice): Blended with organic cacao and coconut sap for a smooth, chocolatey flavor.
  • Ricocu (sprouted rice): Features exotic Cupuacu, Lucuma, and coconut sap for a tropical, subtly sweet taste.
  • Hechoco (hemp seed): Balances protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats with rich cacao and coconut sap.

Choose based on your goals and taste preferences — all three deliver clean, powerful plant-based nutrition.

Health Benefits of Organic Vegan Proteins

Organic vegan proteins offer powerful health benefits — particularly for cardiovascular wellness. Unlike animal-based proteins from meat, dairy, fish, or poultry, plant-based proteins do not contribute to elevated levels of homocysteine, a harmful amino acid byproduct. Elevated homocysteine has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and is considered a contributing factor in nearly all chronic degenerative conditions.

Beyond cardiovascular protection, organic vegan proteins support the growth and repair of tissues, including skin, hair, nails, and internal organs. Sprouted rice protein is rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, while hemp protein delivers a unique bonus: high levels of essential fatty acids that strengthen cell membranes and help protect the delicate linings of the cardiovascular system.

You Are What You Eat — Which is Why We Recommend Organic Vegan Proteins

'Rishi'; - Gunter TernesRishi Ternes, owner of New Earth Super Foods, left the study of medicine in Germany, came to the U.S. and turned his life over to the pursuit of nutrient dense food and seeking to understand the ability of food to transform health. He believes that “we are what we eat” and that “food should be our medicine”. Rishi owns a Super Food Cafe and Health Transformation Center in Arroyo Grande, California. He continues to search the world for foods that enable to the body to repair itself. As Rishi says, “the nutrients that your body needs are in the foods you aren’t eating.”

Rishi seeks out farmers and food suppliers that are progressive, meaning they are adding minerals and trace minerals to their soils, farming organically and harvesting their foods at the peak of ripeness. Rishi then ensures that those foods are juiced and freeze dried immediately before nutrient loss.

Food is the way of health not vitamins!

Organic Vegan Proteins fits with the “first rule of health” which is that food should be our medicine. Organic Vegan Proteins also fits with our second rule of health, which is that food engenders health, not vitamins. The United States has among the worst health statistics of all industrialized nations, yet the people of the United States consume more vitamins that the rest of the world combined. That means that you will eventually find, as so many others have already found, that your health will never really start to improve until you give up on vitamins and turn to food. It's time to turn to food!

Organic Vegan Proteins - Frequently Asked Questions

🏋️‍♂️ Is Whey Protein Better Than Vegan Protein for Building Muscle?

Not necessarily.

Multiple studies have shown that plant-based proteins like sprouted rice protein can deliver muscle growth and athletic performance benefits comparable to whey protein — when consumed in equivalent doses and with a complete amino acid profile.

While whey protein has traditionally been favored in fitness circles, recent research shows that rice protein can match whey in supporting muscle repair, strength gains, and post-workout recovery.

  • ✅ Rice and hemp proteins contain all essential amino acids, including critical muscle-building BCAAs like leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
  • ✅ Vegan proteins are naturally free from common allergens such as casein and lactose.
  • ✅ Our organic vegan protein contains no antibiotics, growth hormones, or pharmaceutical residues often found in dairy-based products.

🌱 The Bottom Line:

You don’t have to choose whey to build muscle effectively. Organic vegan protein — when properly formulated — offers a cleaner, allergen-free, and equally effective alternative for building strength, supporting recovery, and maintaining long-term health.

What is the Nutritional Profile of Sprouted Rice Protein?
