Why we pay someone else to check our protein
Most labs estimate protein by measuring nitrogen. Some brands take advantage of that by adding cheap, nitrogen-rich amino acids that push the number up without adding real protein. It’s called amino spiking, and you can’t spot it on a label.
So we don’t ask you to take our word for it. So Lean & So Clean is Informed Protein and Informed Sport certified.
Informed Protein
The protein on the label is in the can.
An independent program from LGC tests our protein content against the label, screens for amino spiking and other adulterants, and audits the facility where it’s made.
Informed Sport
Tested for what athletes can’t risk.
Every batch is tested for more than 250 substances banned in sport, including stimulants and steroids, so athletes can take it without second-guessing.
Our standard
We’d rather over-test than over-promise.
We go beyond what’s required in the US and look to rigorous standards from around the world. Our internal quality process, the 5 Nation Standard, draws on testing benchmarks from Japan, Switzerland, the United States, New Zealand and Germany.
Every batch is tested by independent, ISO 17025-accredited labs before it ships, and we publish the results online so you can see them for yourself.

Why it tastes different
Most protein brands spend on marketing. We spent on the recipe.
Sweet, without the stevia
Sick of the stevia aftertaste? So were we. We spent months finding the right level of sweetness without stevia, sugar or artificial sweeteners. And we’re not done: we’re always testing new ways to make it even tastier.
Seriously smooth
A lot of plant proteins are gritty, and the usual fix is gums and fillers, which can upset sensitive stomachs. Our chef and Chief Product Officer kept going until they found a blend of proteins that mixes smooth on its own.

Trusted by doctors who read the label first
Dr. Dawn Mussallem
Physician, researcher and leader in integrative medicine
I’ve spent 25 years walking with patients through the hardest seasons of their lives. That experience sets the standard for anything I recommend.
Ora was in Dr. Dawn’s kitchen long before she worked with us. She found our protein while looking for a plant-based option she could use herself and feel comfortable recommending to patients.

In menopause and longevity, we need more precision, not more noise.
She looks at the formulation, the nutrient forms and the quality of the ingredients, then asks whether the claim matches what the product can realistically do.

FAQ
Questions, answered

How much protein is in So Lean & So Clean?
Each serving (2 scoops) has 23g of plant protein from 18 organic sources, including pea, rice, cranberry, sacha inchi, amaranth and sprouted quinoa. Together they provide all the essential amino acids.
Is it a complete protein?
Yes. Many plant proteins are missing one or more essential amino acids. We combine six complementary organic protein sources (pea, rice, cranberry, sacha inchi, amaranth and sprouted quinoa) for a complete profile with all nine essential amino acids, and no synthetic amino acids added. A serving carries about 1,541mg of leucine; values vary slightly between lots and flavors.
Will it make me bloat?
It’s designed not to. Bloating from plant protein usually comes from gums, fillers or hard-to-digest ingredients. We use no gums and no fillers, and add a digestive enzyme blend (amylase, protease, lactase, lipase and cellulase) to help your body break the protein down.
What makes it chef-created?
Our co-founder and COO, Ron Chang, is a classically trained chef with a Culinary Arts degree and a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate from Cornell. He cooked in California restaurants including Finch & Fork in Santa Barbara before co-founding Ora.
He formulated more than 100 versions of So Lean & So Clean before landing on this one, to fix the two things people dislike most about plant protein: the taste and the gritty texture. It mixes smooth with just water, without stevia, gums or artificial sweeteners to cover anything up.
How does it compare to whey?
23g of protein per serving is comparable to most whey powders. The difference is that ours is 100% plant-based and USDA Organic, includes organic greens and superfoods, adds digestive enzymes, and is free from dairy, lactose, gluten and soy. If whey leaves you bloated, a plant protein with enzymes can be a much more comfortable option.
Does it contain stevia, erythritol or artificial sweeteners?
No. We sweeten So Lean & So Clean only with organic monk fruit extract: no stevia, no erythritol, no sugar alcohols and no artificial sweeteners, and 0g of added sugar. If you’d rather have no sweetener at all, there’s an Unsweetened & Unflavored option.
What flavors are there?
Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla Chai, Strawberry Vanilla, Dark Chocolate Unsweetened, and Unsweetened & Unflavored. Every flavor is made to taste good with just water. Vanilla is the most versatile in smoothies and baking; Chocolate is our most popular.
Is it tested for heavy metals and contaminants?
Yes. Every batch is tested under our 5 Nation Standard by independent, ISO 17025-accredited labs for purity, potency and safety, and we publish each batch’s certificate of analysis online. So Lean & So Clean is also Informed Sport certified, tested for substances banned in sport by LGC.
Is it safe if I have food allergies?
It contains no dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, peanuts, wheat, fish or shellfish. If you have a specific allergy, check the full ingredient list for your flavor on the product page, and ask your doctor if you’re unsure.
Can I use it as a meal replacement?
It’s a protein supplement, not a meal replacement, so it isn’t formulated to replace a full meal on its own. It makes a good base for a more filling smoothie: blend it with a banana, nut butter and your milk of choice for protein, healthy fats and carbs.
How do I use it?
Mix 2 scoops with 10 to 12 oz of water, plant milk or your favorite liquid. It blends smoothly in a shaker bottle, no blender needed. You can also add it to smoothies or bake with it; our recipes have protein balls, overnight oats, muffins and more.
Is it USDA Organic?
Yes. So Lean & So Clean is USDA Organic certified. It’s also Non-GMO, vegan (PETA certified and animal test-free) and gluten-free.
