The First Protein Powder Created by a Chef

Q: How much protein is in So Lean & So Clean?

Each serving (2 scoops) delivers 23g of complete plant protein from 18 organic superfood sources. Our protein blend includes organic pea protein, organic rice protein, organic cranberry, organic sacha inchi, organic amaranth, and organic sprouted quinoa, providing all essential and non-essential amino acids.

Q: Is So Lean & So Clean a complete protein?

Yes. Many plant proteins are 'incomplete,' meaning they're missing one or more essential amino acids. We combine six complementary organic protein sources (pea, rice, cranberry, sacha inchi, amaranth, and sprouted quinoa) to deliver a complete amino acid profile with all nine essential amino acids and no synthetic amino acids added. Typical amino acid profile per serving: Leucine 1,541mg, Lysine 1,334mg, Isoleucine 828mg, Valine 920mg, Phenylalanine 1,311mg, Threonine 713mg, Histidine 506mg, Methionine 322mg, Tryptophan 207mg, Arginine 1,587mg, Glutamic Acid 3,726mg, Aspartic Acid 2,116mg, Alanine 897mg, Cystine 851mg, Glycine 759mg, Hydroxyproline 92mg, Proline 828mg, Serine 966mg, Tyrosine 207mg. Naturally occurring values may vary slightly between production lot and flavor.

Q: Will this protein powder make me bloat?

It's specifically designed not to. Bloating is one of the most common complaints about plant-based protein powders, usually caused by gums, fillers, or hard-to-digest ingredients. We use zero gums and zero fillers, and include a full-spectrum digestive enzyme blend (amylase, protease, lactase, lipase, and cellulase) to help your body break down and absorb the protein without discomfort. Most of our customers tell us this is the first plant protein that doesn't leave them feeling bloated.

Q: What makes this a chef-created protein powder?

Our co-founder and COO, Ronald Chang, is a classically trained chef with a Culinary Arts degree from Santa Barbara City College and a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate from Cornell University. He trained at renowned California restaurants including Finch & Fork (Kimpton Hotels) in Santa Barbara, cooked for Pulitzer Prize-winning LA Times food critic Jonathan Gold, and won a televised cooking competition on Chef Budi Kazali's show The Inn Crowd. Chef Ron grew up in a Taiwanese American household where his parents, who immigrated from Taiwan and started a food business in the US, instilled a deep respect for quality ingredients and real flavor. After watching his family develop heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions after adopting a standard western diet, he became passionate about making healthy food that people actually want to eat. He personally formulated over 100 variations of So Lean & So Clean before landing on the final blend, applying his fine dining and molecular gastronomy experience to solve the two biggest problems with plant-based protein: bad taste and gritty texture. The result is a seriously smooth powder that mixes easily and tastes great on its own with just water, without relying on stevia, gums, artificial sweeteners, or excess sugar to mask the flavor.

Q: How does So Lean & So Clean compare to whey protein?

We deliver 23g of protein per serving, which is comparable to most whey protein powders. The key differences: we're 100% plant-based and USDA Organic certified, we include organic greens and superfoods (acai, kale, broccoli, turmeric, and more), we add digestive enzymes for better absorption, and we're free from dairy, lactose, gluten, soy, and all common allergens. For people who experience bloating or digestive issues with whey, plant protein with digestive enzymes can be a much more comfortable option.

Q: Does it contain stevia, erythritol, or artificial sweeteners?

No. We sweeten So Lean & So Clean only with organic monk fruit extract. There's no stevia, no erythritol, no sugar alcohols, and no artificial sweeteners of any kind. We also have 0g of added sugar per serving. Many of our customers tell us they chose us specifically because they were tired of the bitter stevia aftertaste in other protein powders. And if you prefer no sweetener at all, or want full control over how you flavor your shake, we also offer an Unsweetened & Unflavored option.

Q: What flavors are available?

So Lean & So Clean comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla Chai, Strawberry Vanilla, Dark Chocolate Unsweetened, and Unsweetened & Unflavored. All flavors are chef-designed to be perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and taste great mixed with just water. For the most versatile option, Vanilla blends well into smoothies and recipes. If you prefer a richer taste, Chocolate is our most popular. The Unsweetened & Unflavored option contains no sweetener or flavoring at all.

Q: Is it tested for heavy metals and contaminants?

Yes. Every batch is independently tested under our 5 Nation Standard, which integrates safety and accuracy benchmarks from five of the world's strictest regulatory systems. Each batch is verified by ISO 17025-accredited laboratories for purity, potency, and safety. We screen for hundreds of potential contaminants and publish full, batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (often 8+ pages long) publicly on our website. So Lean & So Clean is also Informed Sport certified, meaning it's been tested for banned substances by LGC, the global leader in sports anti-doping testing.

Q: Is it safe for people with food allergies?

So Lean & So Clean is free from all major allergens. It contains no dairy, no gluten, no soy, no eggs, no peanuts, no wheat, no fish, and no shellfish. It's also free from artificial colors, flavors, parabens, synthetic pesticides, and synthetic herbicides. If you have a specific allergy, the full ingredient list for each flavor is available on our product page.

Q: Can I use it as a meal replacement?

So Lean & So Clean is designed as a protein supplement, not a meal replacement. Each serving has 150 calories and 23g of protein, but it's not formulated to replace a full meal on its own. That said, it works great as a base for a more filling smoothie. Blend it with a banana, nut butter, and your milk of choice for a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats, and carbs.

Like you, Ora was sick of brands that spent millions on marketing and very little on making their protein powder actually taste good.

So Ora’s co-founder, Chef Ron, formulated over 100 variations before he landed on the perfect blend for our So Lean & So Clean plant-based protein powder. The result? An outrageously smooth protein powder, with no green aftertaste that’s just sweet enough.

Perfect sweetness without stevia

Sick of stevia aftertaste? We get it - it's often overused by a lot of other protein powders. We tinkered away for months to find the perfect level of sweetness and flavor without using stevia, sugar, or artificial enhancers. And we’re happy to say we NAILED IT.

Seriously smooth

A lot of plant-based protein powders are really gritty - ugh! So creating a smooth texture was essential. But we weren’t just going to use gums or fillers like everyone else (those can cause digestive issues for those with sensitive stomachs).

It nearly drove our Chef and Chief Product Officer insane, but they finally found just the right blend of smooth protein sources, so we can safely say it was SO worth it. Our protein mixes more easily and smoothly than any other plant protein. Say goodbye to grittiness and hello to a silky, satisfying shake!
