Koia Cacao Bean
Koia
Overview
Koia Cacao Bean is designed as a convenient, plant-based protein shake, providing a good amount of protein and fiber. While the protein blend of brown rice, pea, and chickpea protein offers a broad amino acid profile, the exact ratios and overall completeness are not specified. The presence of fiber and monk fruit extract adds to its appeal as a healthier alternative to many other protein shakes, but the added sugar from organic cane sugar is a slight drawback. The overall effectiveness for general protein supplementation and satiety is good, but it's not a significant source of vitamins and minerals.
The Good
High protein content (18g) derived from a blend of plant-based sources (brown rice, pea, chickpea protein), supporting muscle growth and satiety.
Excellent source of dietary fiber (7g per serving), aiding in digestive health and prolonging fullness.
Uses a vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and non-GMO formulation, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences and restrictions.
The Bad
Protein blend may not be a complete protein source on its own for all amino acids, specifically brown rice protein, which should ideally be combined with other plant proteins to ensure a complete amino acid profile.
Contains 4g of added sugar from organic cane sugar, which, while minimal, adds unnecessary sugar to a product that could be sweetened by monk fruit alone.
Lower in micronutrients like Vitamin D (15% DV), Iron (4% DV), Calcium (6% DV), and Potassium (4% DV) when compared to products designed specifically for comprehensive vitamin and mineral support.
