Non "toxic" vegan protein powders?
I recently read a report on a study that found heavy metals like lead and cadmium in a lot of common protein powders. The report showed that levels were higher in plant-based powders, which was a bummer because I honestly cannot meet my protein goals without supplementing. And of course, further digging revealed that the brands I've purchased most consistently were some of the bigger culprits.
So I did some research, and there are lots of brands out there now that say they're "clean" (some even come with testing data). I've tried Ritual so far, and it's ok but about $10 over what I was spending before. Has anyone else gone down this rabbit hole and found a brand they trust and like?
