Our take
CleanPlate reviewPea and rice protein with quinoa, 686 mg sodium
OZiva Plant Protein Powder (Unflavoured) is a 500 g tub of pea protein isolate, brown rice protein isolate and quinoa seed powder (2%). One 36 g heaped scoop gives 30 g of protein. The panel is printed per serve and converted here to per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it BC3. The B for nutrition reflects 83.3 g protein and 8.47 g fibre per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by pea protein isolate, brown rice protein isolate and quinoa seed powder), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (686 mg per 100 g) and calories (386 kcal per 100 g).

How BC3 breaks down
Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.
Good nutrient density
- Protein
- 83.3 g
- Fibre
- 8.5 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 386 kcal
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal.
Mixed processing and additives
- Base
- Pea Protein Isolate
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 0
- Flagged
- None
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 686.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
A closer look
Does the label add up?
Pea protein isolate, brown rice protein isolate and quinoa seed powder (2.0%).
Per 100 g: 386 kcal, 1.78 g fat of which 0.5 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 8.47 g fibre, 83.3 g protein, 686 mg sodium. The macros are recorded as printed; protein 83.3 g, carbohydrate 10.6 g, fat 1.8 g and fibre 8.5 g add up to about 104 g if fibre is counted separately, so the carbohydrate line probably includes the fibre. Only the quinoa carries a percentage, so the pea and rice split is estimated. The pack front image is the only image on the listing and the panel is the listing text.
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumWorth watching
686 mg per 100 g, about 247 mg a scoop, the main driver of the risk grade.
- Two isolatesWorth watching
Pea and rice protein isolates are industrial extracts, which is why the ingredients grade is a C.
- QuinoaWorth watching
Named on the front but only 2% of the list.
- AdditivesFine
None, and no sweetener or flavour.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Plant plus quinoa means a quinoa protein"
Quinoa is 2% of the list; the protein is pea and rice isolate.
Myth: "Pea and rice make a complete protein"
The blend fills the gaps in each, but it is still two isolates.
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
One scoop
A 36 g scoop is about 139 kcal with 30 g of protein and 247 mg of sodium.
Compare the sodium
Whey isolates sit near 180 to 210 mg per 100 g; this is more than three times as much.
