Bottom line: We built ours around what you actually notice in a daily shake. Allulose and monk fruit doing the sweetening, 5g of fiber, 20g of protein, no guar. Warrior Blend arrives at the same glass by a different route, on stevia and a certified organic blend.
Try It Yourself
Taste is the thing you cannot check before you buy, and it is what decides whether a bag gets finished. So we had ours measured. In a blind taste test between NØRSE CØDE, Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, more people chose ours than chose the other two combined. Warrior Blend was not in that panel.
Warrior Blend uses organic stevia leaf extract, listed on its panel as steviol glycosides. Stevia works for a lot of people. For others it leaves a finish at the back of the mouth they never stop noticing. We had met too many people who had stopped drinking plant protein for that one reason, so ours is sweetened with allulose and monk fruit. Both flavors read 0g on the total sugars line and 0g on the added sugars line, with no sugar alcohol doing the work either.
Getting the rest of it right took over a thousand iterations, over two years, most of it spent on texture and finish.
A customer, in March 2024: "i'm sans blender right now so i'm off my normal smoothie game- but this stuff is great just shaken up with almond milk or even water. there's no weird lingering sweet aftertaste like every other protein powder i've tried out there and u love the fact that it's made from barley which must be what gives it a nice malted chocolate taste."
We set a ceiling before we started formulating, 9 natural ingredients or less, and worked down from there. Anything that went in had to displace something else. Three protein sources still sit inside that label: pea, rice and barley. We could not get the texture we wanted out of any one plant protein alone, which is the whole reason to blend three.
Warrior Blend carries organic guar gum, and it carries acacia as well, inside its medium-chain triglycerides oil. Ours carries acacia and no guar at all. Acacia is a soluble fiber, while guar and xanthan go in purely to thicken. Acacia is printed as acacia gum on some panels and acacia fiber on others, and it is the same material either way.
Acacia is a prebiotic fiber. It also gives the shake its body, which is the job a thickener would otherwise be in the bag to do.
A customer, in June 2025: "Tastes good and mixes nicely even though it has MCT oil. Having 5 grams of fiber per serving is a big plus."
NØRSE CØDE Plant Protein
20g protein per serving, dissolves in any liquid, no blender needed.
Shop NØRSE CØDESmoothBlend is the name we gave the texture work, and what it produces is a scoop that dissolves in water, coffee, dairy or a plant milk, hot or cold, stirred with a spoon. Sunwarrior's suggested use is to mix, shake or blend one scoop into 10 oz of your beverage.
We third-party test every input for heavy metals before it goes in the bag. Fifteen years of building a food brand before this one is what taught us to spend the money on what goes in, which is also where the cost of a bag of ours sits.
We make it ourselves too, start to finish, on one line in Petaluma. That gives us the final say on what goes in the bag, and it means a formula change takes days to reach production.
Sweetener, gums and protein per scoop are what people ask about most when choosing between these two.
Yes. The Chocolate label lists organic guar gum, and it carries acacia as well, inside its MCT oil. NØRSE CØDE lists no guar and no xanthan, and carries acacia as its own named ingredient.
NØRSE CØDE, at 20g per serving against the 16g on the Sunwarrior Chocolate panel. Our scoop is bigger, 45g against 25g, because the fiber, the cocoa and the acacia ride in it alongside the protein.
With organic stevia leaf extract, listed on the label as steviol glycosides. That panel shows 1g of total sugars and 0g of added sugars. NØRSE CØDE is sweetened with allulose and monk fruit, and reads zero on both of those lines.
If you have ever abandoned a bag over an aftertaste, the sweetener row is the one that decides this. Ours is allulose and monk fruit, with three protein sources inside a label of 9 natural ingredients or less, and acacia carrying both the fiber and the body. Warrior Blend answers the same question with organic stevia leaf extract. Sixty days is longer than a bag of ours lasts, so the finish question can be settled with one in your hand.
