Product review

The 2.03 lb Vanilla Bean tub of Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein is a reasonable choice if you want a dairy-free protein powder. It provides 21 g of protein per 2-scoop (46 g) serving; the main drawback is that it includes inulin and stevia, which may not suit your tolerance or preferences.

If you have a food allergy, check the tub's full allergen and facility statements rather than relying on a dairy-free description. If you have kidney disease or a medically restricted diet, get individualized protein advice before adding a supplement.

## Serving size and nutrition

The label uses a full 2-scoop portion, not one scoop. The tub contains about 20 servings, and the 21 g protein figure describes the protein in each portion, not the weight of the powder.

Nutrition per 2 scoops (46 g) of powder

| Label item | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Calories | 150 |
| Protein | 21 g |
| Total carbohydrate | 15 g |
| Dietary fiber | 4 g |
| Total sugars | <1 g |
| Added sugars | 0 g |
| Total fat | 3.5 g |
| Sodium | 390 mg |
| Iron | 6.5 mg |

These figures describe the inspected 2.03 lb Vanilla Bean panel. Do not assume the same label applies to Orgain Simple, Superfoods, Organic Meal, other flavors or Costco packs.

## Protein blend, inulin and stevia

The protein blend contains pea, brown rice, mung bean and chia. The label does not provide ingredient proportions, so it does not tell you how much of the protein comes from each source.

The formula also includes inulin, stevia and gums. Inulin is a fiber ingredient, and stevia is a sweetener. These are worth checking if you have specific ingredient tolerances or sweetener preferences; a plant-based formula is not automatically suitable for everyone.

The inspected Vanilla Bean ingredient list does not list erythritol. That applies to this panel, not every Orgain flavor or older formula. Check the ingredient list on the tub you receive rather than assuming every version is identical.

## Portions, value and meal-replacement limits

With about 20 servings per tub, estimate the cost per labeled portion by dividing the tub's price by 20. For example, a hypothetical $40 price would come to about $2 per portion. That is an illustration, not a current price. Compare both cost and protein per serving when weighing another powder, since scoop sizes differ.

The nutrition table covers powder alone. Include milk, plant-based beverages, fruit or other additions when calculating the prepared shake's calories and protein.

This powder is not a complete meal replacement or a weight-loss treatment. If replacing a meal is your goal, see [protein powder vs. meal replacement](https://supplementexplained.com/compare/protein-powder-vs-meal-replacement/) before assuming a protein shake covers a meal's nutritional needs.

**A smaller portion changes the numbers:** half of the inspected label serving would be 23 g powder and 10.5 g protein by arithmetic. It would not provide the full 21 g. Use the package's weight measure if you need an accurate partial serving; a scoop filled by eye is only an estimate.

## When another formula may fit better

- If lactose avoidance is your priority, the [protein powder for lactose intolerance guide](https://supplementexplained.com/quality/protein-powder-for-lactose-intolerance/) can help you compare formats.
- If you do not want stevia, compare [protein powders without stevia](https://supplementexplained.com/quality/protein-powder-without-stevia/).
- If you avoid inulin, start with [protein powders without inulin or sugar alcohols](https://supplementexplained.com/quality/protein-powder-without-inulin-or-sugar-alcohols/), then check the exact flavor's ingredient list.
- For another product comparison, see [Garden of Life RAW Organic Protein](https://supplementexplained.com/products/garden-of-life-raw-organic-protein/). Compare the exact flavor, serving size and ingredients rather than assuming the formulas are equivalent.

An organic label alone is not proof that a powder is healthier or independently tested for contaminants. Choose based on the formula, portion and dietary needs that matter to you.

Our editorial assessment

## Supplement Explained Score

**68**/100

Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein, Vanilla Bean 2.03 lb

Five equally weighted criteria. This is an editorial assessment, not customer stars, a clinical ranking or a measure of medical effectiveness.

**Label clarity **5/5****

The inspected 2.03 lb Vanilla Bean panel identifies the two-scoop portion, protein amount, nutrition and ingredient list; other Orgain lines are separate products.

**Research relevance **4/5****

Protein supplementation can help meet protein needs. That does not establish a unique benefit of this finished blend, superior digestibility or a complete meal replacement.

**Safety and cautions **3/5****

Food allergies, inulin tolerance and medically restricted protein intake narrow suitability. A dairy-free description is not an individual allergy clearance.

**Testing and quality checks **2/5****

The manufacturer label is inspectable, but an independently matched finished-product potency or contaminant record was not verified.

**Value for money **3/5****

The approximately 20 full portions make supply understandable. No matched comparison of current delivered prices establishes a cost advantage.

Based on published information, not personal use or laboratory testing by us. Missing testing documentation is not evidence of contamination. Where label versions remain unresolved, the points reflect that limitation rather than assuming a complete current formula.
