What Makes Our Vegan Powders Unique

They are organic, non-GMO vegan protein powders
All of them boast a complete amino acid profile.
Each, however, is crafted for slightly different nutritional goals, described later.
All three are 100% plant-based, free from phytates, and blended with natural superfoods to deliver both flavor and functional health benefits.

Two of our formulas are made with sprouted rice protein, known for its high digestibility, and high leucine. The third is based on organic hemp seed protein, and is also rich in fiber, essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins.

Richoco (sprouted rice): Flavored with organic cacao and coconut sap for a smooth, chocolatey flavor.
Ricocu (sprouted rice): Flavored with Cupuacu, Lucuma, and coconut sap for a tropical, subtly sweet taste, and extra minerals, and bioflavonoids.
Hechoco (hemp seed): Balances protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats with rich cacao and coconut sap.

Choose based on your goals and taste preferences — all three deliver clean, powerful plant-based nutrition.

These deeply nourishing plant proteins are trusted by thousands of people who rely on them as part of their daily nutrition.

Here's a little more about these three superb varieties of Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan Protein Powders:

Richoco

Richoco — Sprouted Rice + Cacao + Coconut Sap

Plant-based protein. Pure power. Incredible taste.

Richoco starts with organic sprouted rice — freeze-dried at peak freshness to lock in nutrition. Each two-tablespoon serving delivers a massive 22 grams of complete, highly assimilable vegan protein, making it the highest-protein option in our vegan line.

Balanced with just enough organic cacao and coconut sap to taste great in water or blended into smoothies, Richoco is a clean, versatile powerhouse for anyone looking to build muscle, recover faster, or simply feel stronger.

21 servings per bag. Just plants — nothing else.

Hechoco

Hechoco — Hemp Seeds + Cacao + Coconut Sap

Smooth, satisfying, and loaded with goodness.

Hechoco combines organic hemp seed powder — rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and 98% digestible amino acids — with the deep flavor of organic cacao and coconut sap minerals.

Each serving delivers 16 grams of clean, complete protein, plus naturally occurring omega fatty acids and fiber for gut and cardiovascular support. It’s a full-spectrum fuel for active days, clear thinking, and smooth digestion.

29 servings per bag. Protein + polyphenols + plant fats = the perfect scoop.

Ricocu

Ricocu — Sprouted Rice + Cupuacu + Lucuma + Coconut Sap

Antioxidant-rich. Nutrient-dense. A flavor adventure.

Ricocu takes our premium sprouted rice protein and adds two exotic fruits — Cupuacu and Lucuma — known for their antioxidant, polyphenol, and metabolic support properties.

With over 21 grams of complete protein per serving, Ricocu supports energy, skin health, gut repair, and muscle recovery — all with a unique, naturally sweet, non-chocolate taste.

A perfect protein for those craving variety, vitality, and a flavor beyond the usual.

Which Vegan Protein Should I Choose?

Each blend has its own strengths — and rotating between them is a smart way to broaden your nutrition, diversify your plant compounds, and keep your daily routine enjoyable.

🍫 Hechoco — The Wellness Favorite

Hechoco is our most popular all-around choice for daily wellness. Beyond quality plant protein, it provides fiber, essential fatty acids, and antioxidant support — making it especially appealing for those who want broader support for the gut, heart, and immune system.

💪 Richoco — The Muscle-Preserving Choice

Richoco delivers the highest protein content per serving, along with more leucine to help support muscle maintenance. Its rich chocolate taste blends beautifully into water or smoothies, making it ideal for those who want maximum protein with minimal effort.

🌿 Ricocu — The Refreshing Alternative

Ricocu is perfect for those who want a break from chocolate. With its naturally sweet, subtly fruity character from Cupuacu and Lucuma, it brings both antioxidant diversity and a flavor experience that feels lighter, brighter, and wonderfully different.

🌿 No wrong choice — only the one that best fits your taste, your goals, and your routine today.

Health Benefits of Organic Vegan Proteins

Organic vegan proteins do far more than supply amino acids. They nourish the body in a way that is clean, efficient, and naturally aligned with long-term wellness — especially for the cardiovascular system.

❤️ Heart-Friendlier Protein Support

Unlike many animal-based proteins from meat, dairy, fish, or poultry, plant proteins do not contribute in the same way to elevated homocysteine — a harmful metabolic byproduct associated with cardiovascular strain and a wide range of chronic degenerative conditions.

🔧 Tissue Growth & Repair

Vegan proteins help provide the raw materials needed to build, repair, and maintain tissues throughout the body — including skin, hair, nails, muscles, and internal organs.

🌾 Nutrient Density from Sprouted Rice

Sprouted rice protein offers more than protein alone. It contributes naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support broader nourishment and make the formula more than a simple protein powder.

🌱 Essential Fatty Acids from Hemp

Hemp protein adds a unique advantage: valuable essential fatty acids that help strengthen cell membranes and support the delicate linings of the cardiovascular system.

The result is protein that does more than feed muscle — it supports the whole terrain of health.

You Are What You Eat — Which is Why We Recommend Organic Vegan Proteins

Rishi Ternes, owner of New Earth Super Foods, left the study of medicine in Germany, came to the U.S. and turned his life over to the pursuit of nutrient dense food and seeking to understand the ability of food to transform health. He believes that “we are what we eat” and that “food should be our medicine”. Rishi owns a Super Food Cafe and Health Transformation Center in Arroyo Grande, California. He continues to search the world for foods that enable to the body to repair itself. As Rishi says, “the nutrients that your body needs are in the foods you aren’t eating.”

Rishi seeks out farmers and food suppliers that are progressive, meaning they are adding minerals and trace minerals to their soils, farming organically and harvesting their foods at the peak of ripeness. Rishi then ensures that those foods are juiced and freeze dried immediately before nutrient loss.

Food is the way of health not vitamins!

Organic Vegan Proteins fits with the “first rule of health” which is that food should be our medicine. Organic Vegan Proteins also fits with our second rule of health, which is that food engenders health, not vitamins. The United States has among the worst health statistics of all industrialized nations, yet the people of the United States consume more vitamins that the rest of the world combined. That means that you will eventually find, as so many others have already found, that your health will never really start to improve until you give up on vitamins and turn to food. It's time to turn to food!

Organic Vegan Proteins - Frequently Asked Questions

🏋️‍♂️ Is Whey Protein Better Than Vegan Protein for Building Muscle?

Not necessarily.

Multiple studies have shown that plant-based proteins like sprouted rice protein can deliver muscle growth and athletic performance benefits comparable to whey protein — when consumed in equivalent doses and with a complete amino acid profile.

While whey protein has traditionally been favored in fitness circles, recent research shows that rice protein can match whey in supporting muscle repair, strength gains, and post-workout recovery.

✅ Rice and hemp proteins contain all essential amino acids, including critical muscle-building BCAAs like leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
✅ Vegan proteins are naturally free from common allergens such as casein and lactose.
✅ Our organic vegan protein contains no antibiotics, growth hormones, or pharmaceutical residues often found in dairy-based products.

🌱 The Bottom Line:

You don’t have to choose whey to build muscle effectively. Organic vegan protein — when properly formulated — offers a cleaner, allergen-free, and equally effective alternative for building strength, supporting recovery, and maintaining long-term health.

What is the Nutritional Profile of Sprouted Rice Protein?

Sprouting increases the nutrients, polyphenols and vitamins already present in rice seeds, creating a true super-food. Our sprouted rice protein is virtually 100% assimilable and is a great source of Vitamin E, B-Vitamins and magnesium. Here are the relative percentage content of amino acids (asterisks indicate essential amino acid):
