Core Nutritionals Just Raised the Bar on Vegan Protein
Most vegan proteins taste like wet sand and leave you bloated enough to float away. Core Nutritionals clearly knows that — because their new Core VEGAN line looks like a direct attack on every complaint people have about plant protein.
What they changed on purpose:
Complete amino profile — They blended pea + brown rice protein (so you’re not missing key aminos like you do with single-source plant proteins)
Fermented vegan BCAAs added — Rare to see this in a vegan protein, but huge for people actually using this around training for repair/recovery
DigeSEB™ digestive enzymes inside — This is the “make or break” with plant powders. Enzymes = less gas, less bloat, more absorption
Texture & flavor engineered — They didn’t just “go vegan”; they made it creamy. Four launch flavors: Chocolate Brownie, Vanilla Cream, Strawberry, and Peanut Butter
Label callouts (per scoop):
21g protein
125 calories
Added enzymes
Fortified BCAAs
Zero “mud mouth” texture
Why This Matters
The plant-protein category exploded, but flavor and digestion never caught up — until brands started reformulating like this. Core didn’t reinvent vegan protein; they fixed what makes most of them suck.
If you’re plant-based, dairy-sensitive, or just rotating protein sources to keep digestion happy, this is the first vegan option in a while that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
