CleanPlate reviewPea protein isolate with real mango powder
Maiva Pro Alphonso Mango Plant Protein is pea protein isolate with Alphonso mango, monk fruit and natural-identical mango flavour. It is sold as a 40 g single-serve sachet, and the panel is printed per 40 g and converted to per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it DC1. The D for nutrition is low: only 69.8 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by pea protein isolate and alphonso mango), with additives that cost points: monkfruit monk fruit extract. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 0 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.25 g per 100 g).

Mango is about a third of the powder, so it is mainly pea protein.
