NAKED

Why We Love It
What makes Pea Protein Powder a Label Lookout pick
Most pea proteins on the shelf are blends: a scoop of pea isolate cut with gums for texture, natural flavors, and a sweetener to cover the taste. NAKED Pea skips all of it. The label reads exactly one ingredient, yellow pea protein, processed with water-based mechanical extraction instead of chemical solvents. NSF's Contents Certified program means an independent lab checked that claim and screened the finished product for heavy metals and pesticides rather than taking the brand's word for it. It is unflavored by design, which means no added sugar or artificial sweetener, but it also means it needs fruit, cocoa powder, or a flavored liquid to taste like more than peas in water.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Is NAKED Pea a protein isolate or a concentrate?
Isolate. The extraction process concentrates the peas down to protein with most of the starch and fiber removed, which is why the ingredient list reads simply yellow pea protein.
Does NAKED Pea contain lead?
Like nearly every plant and animal protein powder sold in California, it carries a Prop 65 warning because lead occurs naturally in soil and can end up in trace amounts in any crop. NSF's Contents Certified testing screens contaminant levels against FDA safety thresholds rather than a zero standard, which does not exist for any real food.
Is this a substitute for whey protein?
It is the dairy-free, soy-free option in this lineup. The amino acid profile differs from whey and the texture is grainier mixed with only water, but it works for readers avoiding dairy or lactose.
Is NAKED Pea NSF Certified for Sport?
No. It carries NSF's Contents Certified mark, which verifies label accuracy and screens for contaminants. NSF Certified for Sport is a separate, more rigorous program aimed at athletes subject to drug testing.
Does it mix well in water alone?
Reviewers report a slightly grainy texture when mixed with only water or milk. It blends smoother in a full smoothie with fruit or used in baking.

The Verdict
Pros & cons
What we love
- Ingredient list is one line: yellow pea protein, no gums, flavors, or added sugar
- NSF Contents Certified, an outside lab checks label accuracy and screens for heavy metals and pesticides
- Dairy-free and soy-free, an option for readers this cluster's whey and beef-protein picks do not serve
- 27 grams of protein and 2 grams of sugar per serving
- Processed with water-based mechanical extraction rather than chemical solvents
!Worth noting
- Unflavored by design, so it needs fruit or a flavored liquid to taste like more than beans in water
- Several reviewers describe the texture as slightly grainy when mixed with water alone
- Carries a California Prop 65 warning for trace lead, common to nearly every plant and animal protein powder sold in the state because lead occurs naturally in soil
- NSF Contents Certified checks label accuracy and contaminant limits, it is not the same as NSF Certified for Sport, so athletes subject to drug testing should confirm which mark they need
