North Coast Naturals Vegan All-In-One in French Vanilla is a plant protein shake mix that also carries greens, fibre, plant fats, digestive enzymes and probiotics. One 42 g scoop has 21 g of protein, 7 g of fibre and 140 calories with 0 g of sugars, and the 840 g tub holds 20 scoops. The newest tubs read "Vegan Protein, All-In-One Blend" on the front.
What is in a scoop
The 25 g protein base combines fermented pea protein isolate, organic sprouted pumpkin seed protein, organic sprouted fermented brown rice protein and sprouted quinoa. A 7.5 g fat blend of Canadian flax seed, coconut oil, avocado powder and chia seed gives 1.5 g of omega-3 per scoop, and acacia gum and inulin add 4.4 g of prebiotic fibre.
Beyond that, the label lists a greens powder of about 4 g (spirulina, chlorella, marine phytoplankton, Hydramins red marine algae and moringa), a fruit and berry blend with acerola, tart cherry and matcha, a vegetable blend with artichoke, broccoli and kale, maca root, red beet and a spice blend with eleuthero and turmeric. A phytase-led enzyme blend and two probiotic strains, Bacillus subtilis DE111 and Lactobacillus fermentum, at 1 billion CFU per serving finish the formula.
Flavour and sweetness
French Vanilla is flavoured with natural vanilla and sweetened with debittered stevia leaf extract, so there is no added sugar. Each scoop has 240 mg of sodium from sea salt, 300 mg of calcium (23% of the Daily Value) and 3 mg of iron.
How it compares with other North Coast Naturals proteins
Raw Brown Rice, Raw Hemp and Raw Pumpkin Seed Protein are single, unflavoured ingredients. Vegan All-In-One is the brand's complete shake: more protein per scoop, a ready flavour, and greens and probiotics so one tub replaces several. People who already take a separate greens powder may prefer a single-ingredient protein instead.
How to use it
Mix, shake or blend one 42 g scoop with 250 to 375 ml of water, juice or plant milk. It suits a quick breakfast, a post-workout shake or a smoothie with frozen fruit. The full directions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
It suits vegans and plant-based eaters, people who keep dairy and soy out of their shake, and busy people who want protein and greens in one scoop. It contains coconut (a tree nut) and is made without animal products, gluten, yeast or sulfites, in a GMP facility that also handles milk, soy and fish (collagen).

Great product
Our family consumes this All-In-One every morning. We feel benefits very quickly, the price is reasonable for the ingredients involved, and the taste is fairly neutral so the powder goes well with other ingredients (fruits, seeds, cacao, etc.)
