If you're comparing these two, you're probably done with labels you need a dictionary for. Here's the short version: NØRSE CØDE's protein comes from three sources, pea, rice, and barley, inside a short label of 9 natural ingredients or less, made in our own facility. Truvani gets to a similarly short list a different way, 3 to 11 certified organic ingredients, from organic pea, pumpkin seed, and chia protein. Both brands did the work of cutting the list down. Where they land is not the same place.
Every figure below is current as of 2026-08-11, pulled from each brand's own product page and listings.
| Spec | NØRSE CØDE | Truvani |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per serving | 20g | 20g (20-21g depending on flavor) |
| Ingredient count | 9 natural ingredients or less (3 protein sources: pea, rice, barley) | 3-11 certified organic ingredients, depending on flavor |
| Sugar | 0g total sugar, 0g added sugar (sweetened with allulose and monk fruit) | No added sugar disclosed; sweetened with organic monk fruit extract |
| Artificial sweeteners/gums/fillers | None | None disclosed |
| Fiber | Prebiotic fiber (acacia) | 2g per serving, from the chia and pumpkin seed content (not an added prebiotic fiber) |
| Servings per bag/tub | 14 | 20 |
| Manufacturing | Self-manufactured, own Petaluma, CA facility | Not publicly disclosed as self-owned or co-packed |
| Third-party testing | We third-party test every input for heavy metals | Yes, each lot tested for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and glyphosate, though full results aren't published |
| Guarantee | 60-day money-back, no questions asked | 30-day happiness guarantee, first-time purchases only; customer covers return shipping |
| Price per serving | $2.54-$3.57 (8-bag subscription to single-bag one-time purchase) | $2.50-$3.00 (autoship to one-time purchase) |
| Best for | Someone who wants a compact protein blend, third-party-tested purity, and a scoop-and-stir routine, self-manufactured start to finish | Someone who wants a certified-organic, plant-source protein and doesn't mind a shorter return window |
Bottom line: if a compact protein blend and a facility we run ourselves matter most to you, NØRSE CØDE is the closer fit. If certified-organic sourcing across the board is the priority and price per serving matters more than return-window length, Truvani covers that.
Try It Yourself
More people chose NØRSE CØDE than Orgain and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder combined in a blind taste test. A short ingredient list can still taste and mix like a real protein shake, and that number is why we lead with it. Truvani solves the ingredient-list problem with certified-organic sourcing; we built ours to wet evenly in one stir, hot or cold, straight from the bag, no blender or slurry step required. Most people quit a protein powder over taste and texture before they quit protein itself.
We aren't trying to win every buyer. We're building for the person who reads a label before they buy and wants a short one that still gets the job done. Smári, our founder, spent 1,000+ formulation iterations over two years on his own production line getting a plant protein to mix without a gum or a blender. Truvani doesn't say whether its protein comes from a facility it owns.
Both brands third-party test for heavy metals, and neither publishes the raw numbers to shoppers. We state our testing claim in its exact scope: heavy metals, tested, no published results.
On mixability, NØRSE CØDE wets evenly in one stir, hot or cold, straight from the bag. No slurry step, no five minutes of stirring before you give up and drink the clumps anyway. Truvani's formula also skips gums and artificial fillers, built around its certified-organic sourcing.
Smári's iteration on NØRSE CØDE draws on 15 years in CPG. He knows what it costs to put a claim on a label you can't stand behind.
Yes, in most flavors. Truvani lists 20g of protein per serving in its Vanilla flavor (some flavors run to 21g), matching NØRSE CØDE's 20g. The source differs: NØRSE CØDE builds its 20g from three protein sources, pea, rice, and barley, while Truvani builds from organic pea, pumpkin seed, and chia protein.
NØRSE CØDE ships 14 servings per bag; Truvani's standard container ships 20 servings. Which one actually costs less per serving depends on the purchase option you pick on each side. The full price-per-serving breakdown is in the spec table above.
Truvani doesn't publicly disclose whether its protein is self-manufactured or produced through a co-packer. NØRSE CØDE is: we make it ourselves in our own facility in Petaluma, California.
Both NØRSE CØDE and Truvani solve the same problem: a plant protein with a short, honest ingredient list and no artificial sweeteners. Truvani gets there with certified-organic sourcing across a wider ingredient range. We got there with three protein sources inside a label of 9 natural ingredients or less and a facility we run ourselves. Each is built for a different reader, and the spec table above is the fastest way to tell which one is you.
If NØRSE CØDE is the trade you want, it costs you nothing to find out: full refund within 60 days if it isn't the right fit.
