Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlant protein sachet with 24 g protein
Cosmix No-Nonsense Plant Protein is a pea and rice protein isolate blend with vegan coconut milk powder, an Indonesian cacao and cocoa blend, a digestive herb blend, Kerala vanilla and monk fruit. A 38 g sachet is one serve.
CleanPlate scores it AC2. The A for nutrition reflects 61.7 g protein, 9.61 g fibre and natural iron, zinc and calcium per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by pea protein isolate, rice protein isolate and vegan coconut milk powder), with additives that cost points: monk fruit extract. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 480 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.76 g per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Protein isolate blend (pea and rice), vegan coconut milk powder, Indonesian cacao and cocoa blend, digestive herb blend (ginger, fennel, cumin, fenugreek), Kerala vanilla bean powder and monk fruit. No percentages are declared.
Per 100 g: 370 kcal, 1.55 g fat of which 0.76 g saturated, 9.79 g sugar of which 0 g added, 9.61 g fibre, 61.7 g protein, 480 mg sodium. Read from the pack, which prints only a per 38 g serving panel; values here are converted to per 100 g (the small mineral digits are slightly blurry and potassium looks uncertain). The Blinkit text, which showed 63 g protein, 0 g sugar, 0 g fibre and 789.5 mg sodium per 100 g, was wrong. Zinc is 6.1 mg per 100 g.
Ingredients to watch
- Protein isolatesWorth watching
Pea and rice protein isolates are industrial ingredients; they give the protein but are not whole foods.
- SodiumWorth watching
480 mg per 100 g, about 182 mg per sachet.
- Monk fruit extractWorth watching
A non-sugar sweetener that costs 2 points.
- Protein, fibre and ironFine
61.7 g protein, 9.6 g fibre and 12.6 mg iron per 100 g, with a short list and no added sugar.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Plant protein is incomplete"
Pea plus rice together cover the essential amino acids well.
Myth: "More protein is always better"
Most people get enough from food; a sachet is a convenience, not a need.
How often, and how
- Healthy adultsA scoop a day at most, if food protein falls short
- ChildrenNot needed
- Diabetes or prediabetesFine in moderation
Smarter ways to eat it
Blend with fruit
A sachet with milk and a banana makes a full snack.
Half a sachet
If you eat protein at every meal, half a sachet is plenty.
