The clearest difference in this comparison is the guarantee: NØRSE CØDE gives you 60 days to open it, use it, and decide, no questions asked. Naked Nutrition's Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder (sold as "Naked Shake") only accepts returns within 14 days, and only if the bag stays sealed and unused. Both deliver 20g of protein per serving; NØRSE CØDE Vanilla runs 9 natural ingredients with zero added sugar, where Naked Shake's Vanilla runs 7 ingredients and adds coconut sugar and cane sugar.
NØRSE CØDE Vanilla and Naked Shake both hit 20g of protein, but split on sugar, servings, guarantee length, and how much you're allowed to try before deciding. Here's what's actually in each bag, side by side.
| Spec | NØRSE CØDE | Naked Nutrition Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder (Naked Shake) |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | 20g | 20g |
| Ingredient count | 9 ingredients (label, Vanilla) | 7 ingredients (label, Vanilla flavor) |
| Added sugar | None | Organic coconut sugar and fermented cane sugar (Reb-M); 3g sugar per serving |
| Artificial sweeteners/gums/fillers | None | None disclosed on label |
| Fiber | Prebiotic fiber (acacia) | Not stated on label (acacia appears only as part of an MCT powder blend) |
| Servings per bag/container | 14 | 30 (2lb container) |
| Manufacturing | Self-manufactured, our own Petaluma, CA facility | Not publicly disclosed (cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facility per nakednutrition.com) |
| Third-party testing | We third-party test every input for heavy metals | Yes, third-party tested |
| Guarantee | 60 days, no questions asked, whether you've opened and used it or not | 14 days from delivery, unopened and unused only |
| Price per serving | $2.95-$3.57 (8-bag subscription at $329.92/112 servings, down to a single bag at $49.99/14 servings) | $1.40 ($41.99 / 30 servings) |
| Best for | Shoppers who want to actually try the product before committing, zero added sugar, and a short ingredient list | Shoppers prioritizing lower price per serving and more servings per container |
Bottom line: If you want the room to actually open, use, and test a protein powder before deciding, NØRSE CØDE's 60-day guarantee gives you that; Naked Nutrition's 14-day unopened-only window doesn't. If price per serving and container size matter most and a little coconut sugar isn't a concern, Naked Shake is the lower-cost option.
Try It Yourself
In a blind taste test, more people preferred NØRSE CØDE than Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard combined. That's a tested result, not a claim we're making about ourselves: when people tried the products without knowing which was which, NØRSE CØDE came out on top. Naked Nutrition wasn't part of that test, so this isn't a head-to-head claim over Naked Shake specifically, but it's the kind of proof point we can point to and Naked Nutrition can't.
We self-manufacture every batch of NØRSE CØDE in our own Petaluma, California facility and skip added sugar in the Vanilla formula, two choices Naked Nutrition doesn't publicly make the same way. Smári set out to build a plant protein with no added sugar, no long ingredient list, and no texture problem that needed a blender to fix. Owning the production line rather than handing the formula to a third-party co-packer means any change to taste, texture, or sourcing gets tested and shipped on our own schedule. SmoothBlend, our proprietary formulation process built over 1,000+ iterations, is why NØRSE CØDE mixes evenly with just a spoon and your liquid of choice, hot or cold, no blender or recipe required.
The 60-day guarantee runs the same way: since we stand behind how it tastes and mixes, we let you actually drink it for two full months before deciding, whether or not the bag stays sealed.
Smári built his prior company, Smári Organics, from a kitchen to national retail distribution (Whole Foods, Costco, Kroger, Safeway) before starting NØRSE CØDE. The manufacturing control here comes from experience: a second business built the way the first one taught him to run one.
Yes. The label lists organic coconut sugar and fermented cane sugar (Reb-M) as sweeteners, totaling 3g of sugar per serving. NØRSE CØDE Vanilla has no added sugar.
Naked Nutrition allows returns within 14 days of delivery, and only for unopened, unused product (nakednutrition.com/pages/returns-exchanges, accessed July 18, 2026). NØRSE CØDE's guarantee runs 60 days from delivery with no questions asked, and unlike Naked Nutrition's policy, you don't have to leave the bag sealed, you're free to actually open it, use it daily, and decide for yourself.
Naked Shake is cheaper per serving at current pricing: $1.40 versus NØRSE CØDE's $2.95-$3.57 range, depending on pack size (the 8-bag subscription is $2.95/serving; a single bag is $3.57/serving). The gap is real. NØRSE CØDE's price reflects self-manufacturing and, for Vanilla, a zero-added-sugar formula. Buying more bags at once lowers the per-serving cost, and both figures above trace to the spec table.
Choose NØRSE CØDE Vanilla if a real 60-day trial, zero added sugar, and in-house production control matter most to you, or Naked Shake if a lower price per serving matters more than being able to use the product before deciding. Read the two labels and the two guarantees side by side and the tradeoff is plain: NØRSE CØDE costs more and gives you no added sugar, 9 natural ingredients, in-house production control, and 60 full days to actually use it before deciding; Naked Nutrition's Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder costs less, comes in a larger container, and only takes returns if the bag never gets opened.
