NØRSE CØDE and Momentous 100% Plant Protein Powder both deliver 20g of plant protein per serving with no artificial sweeteners, gums, or fillers. The real difference: Momentous carries NSF Certified for Sport for drug-tested athletes, while NØRSE CØDE is self-manufactured in Petaluma, California and built for zero sugar, five grams of fiber, and a shorter ingredient list.

Bottom line: If that specific certification is a requirement where you compete, Momentous meets it directly. If you want zero sugar, more fiber, a shorter ingredient list, and full control over how your protein gets made, NØRSE CØDE is built for that.
The reason people quit protein powder usually isn't the protein, it's the taste. In a blind taste test, 55% preferred NØRSE CØDE over Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder. Momentous wasn't part of that test, so we can't compare the two head to head on taste. What we can say: NØRSE CØDE was built specifically to solve the chalky, gritty texture that makes most people abandon a tub of protein powder half-finished, dissolving evenly in water, plant milk, dairy milk, or coffee with no blender required. That's a different design goal than a protein built around a sport-testing certification, which says nothing about how it tastes or mixes. If taste, and actually finishing the bag, matter as much to you as what's on the label, that result is worth knowing before you buy.
Try It Yourself
We make NØRSE CØDE ourselves, start to finish, in our own facility in Petaluma. Owning the line means we control what goes into the bag and can turn a formula change around in days, not a production cycle on someone else's schedule. When we needed to solve taste and texture, we ran more than 1,000 formulation iterations over two years until the powder dissolved evenly in any liquid, hot or cold, without clumping or settling at the bottom of the glass. Fifteen years of building a food and beverage brand before this one is what taught us to spend that time on the formula instead of shipping something close enough.
An athlete who's drug-tested needs independent verification of exactly what's in the bag; Momentous built its whole product around earning that verification, and it shows. We built NØRSE CØDE around a different question: what does someone actually want to drink every morning? Short, recognizable ingredients, zero sugar, real fiber, and a scoop that mixes the same way in coffee, water, or a smoothie. Those two starting points show up as numbers in the table at the top of this page.
Yes. Momentous carries NSF Certified for Sport, meaning an independent lab tests each batch for banned substances, heavy metals, and label-claim accuracy. That certification matters most for competitive athletes who are drug-tested and need to know exactly what's entering their body before it does.
NØRSE CØDE is at zero sugar: 0g total sugars and 0g added sugars in both flavors, sweetened with allulose and monk fruit only. Momentous lists 2g of added sugars per serving across its Chocolate, Vanilla, and Vanilla Spice flavors, from organic cane sugar, sweetened further with stevia, monk fruit, or Reb M depending on the flavor.
Momentous packs 22 servings into its container; a NØRSE CØDE bag holds 14. Both count a serving as the same 20g of protein delivered per scoop. The full price-per-serving math for each is in the spec table above.
Both brands hit the same 20g protein floor with a clean label behind it, so the choice comes down to what you're optimizing for. Competitive athletes who need a drug-tested certification have a clear answer in Momentous. Everyone else weighing taste, sugar, fiber, and who actually made the powder in their bag already has the fuller comparison, laid out above.
