Which to choose
Only the differences in our records. A value we couldn't verify never counts as a difference.
Choose KOS Plant Protein if…
- You want more of each scoop to be protein (51% vs 46% by weight).
- You want a fully disclosed formula (Orgain Organic Protein uses a proprietary blend).
Choose Orgain Organic Protein if…
- You avoid tree nuts (coconut): KOS Plant Protein's label lists it as an allergen and Orgain Organic Protein's does not.
- You want a powder the brand labels lactose-free, non-gmo and kosher (our record for KOS Plant Protein has no such label).
