NØRSE CØDE and Momentous 100% Plant Protein are both gum-free, filler-free plant proteins at 20g of protein per serving. Where they split is who made it and why: Momentous is built around NSF Certified for Sport, aimed at competitive athletes. We build NØRSE CØDE ourselves, in our own Petaluma, California facility, with a short ingredient list we control end to end.

Try It Yourself
In a blind taste test, more people chose NØRSE CØDE than Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder combined. That's the kind of proof a spec table can't show: a certification tells you what was screened for, not whether the shake itself is any good. NSF Certified for Sport is a real, useful standard for athletes who need it. We built our own standard around third-party testing for heavy metals and a taste and texture people actually want to reorder.
We make NØRSE CØDE ourselves, in our own facility in Petaluma, California. Momentous doesn't publish which facility makes its plant protein, only that the proteins are sourced from the U.S. and Canada. Making it ourselves is a deliberate choice: when we want to adjust something about the formula, we don't have to route that change through someone else's production line.
Momentous built its plant protein around NSF Certified for Sport, a program that screens for banned substances for athletes who compete under drug-testing rules. That's a real, useful standard for the audience it's built for. We built NØRSE CØDE around a different standard: third-party testing for heavy metals as our baseline practice, and a short ingredient list with nothing added to force a texture. Both are legitimate choices built for different buyers: an athlete under drug-testing rules wants the sport certification; someone who just wants a shorter label and a product made by the people who formulated it gets that from us.
It's also built for an easy daily routine: one scoop stirs in with just a spoon, hot or cold, no blender needed. The acacia fiber in the blend is there for a reason too, to help the shake sit right on an empty stomach.
Smári, our founder, spent 1,000+ formulation iterations over two years teaching a plant protein to mix evenly without a gum or a blender, drawing on 15 years in CPG. He'd rather redo the run than ship a shortcut.
No. By Momentous's own product page, its plant protein is free from gums, fillers, and stabilizers. Its Chocolate, Vanilla, and Vanilla Spice flavors each carry 2g of added sugar from organic cane sugar. NØRSE CØDE also uses no gums or fillers, with 0g added sugar in both flavors.
Yes. Momentous's plant protein carries NSF Certified for Sport, a program that tests for heavy metals, harmful additives, and label claim accuracy, aimed at athletes who compete under drug-testing rules. We third-party test every input for heavy metals as our standard practice; we don't carry the NSF Certified for Sport designation.
NØRSE CØDE ships 14 servings per bag. Momentous ships 22 servings per container, based on its current product listing. That difference is most of the gap in price per serving between the two.
Both NØRSE CØDE and Momentous solved for a gum-free, filler-free plant protein at 20g per serving, but for different people. Momentous leans on NSF Certified for Sport and more servings per container at a lower per-serving cost. We leaned on making it ourselves, so a short ingredient list and an even mix are the standard on every batch, not a claim on a label.
