Form Performance Protein vs EXALT Protein Ghanaian Cacao

Pros

• ✓Exceptional taste in Chocolate Peanut flavour — repeatedly praised as best-in-class among plant proteins
• ✓High 30g protein per serving from a complementary organic tri-blend (pea, brown rice, pumpkin seed) for a complete amino acid profile
• ✓Added digestive enzymes improve tolerability; curcumin + black pepper provide evidence-based anti-inflammatory support
• ✓Informed Sport certified — independently batch-tested, safe for competitive athletes

Cons

• ✗Premium price point: ~£40–50 for 500g makes cost-per-gram of protein high versus mainstream competitors
• ✗Powdery texture reported by a subset of users, particularly when mixed in milk rather than water or a blender
• ✗Some find the sweetness level excessive, especially in non-chocolate flavours
• ✗Two-scoop serving can mislead buyers comparing to single-scoop 20–25g products

• ✗500g (approx. 16–20 servings) is a smaller pack size than most competitors
