When you walk into the protein nutrition aisle, the first fork in the road is format: do you want a scoopable powder that turns into a shake, or a pre-measured pack of pills that covers your daily supplement bases? The four products here split that difference. Three are unflavored pea protein powders in different sizes and price points, and one is a multivitamin pack designed for active lifestyles. The listed prices span a wide range, and the right choice depends on how you prefer to take your nutrition.
Quick take
If you're weighing powder against a supplement pack, the biggest decision is format. The three pea protein powders are all plant-based and unflavored, while the Animal Pak multivitamin is a pill pack. The NOW Foods 2-lb pea protein is the lowest-priced listing, the Animal Pak 2-pack is the highest-priced, and the Zammex organic powder sits in the middle. The NOW Sports 12-oz is a smaller-size option.

Product notes
NOW Foods Pea Protein, Fast Absorbing, Unflavored Powder (2 lb)
This listing is the lowest-priced powder in the group at USD 28.30. It's a 2-lb container of unflavored pea protein isolate, and the product description says each scoop supplies 24g of easily digested protein along with more than 4,200mg of branched-chain amino acids and over 2,000mg of arginine. The listing also positions it as fast absorbing. If you want a plain plant-based powder in a larger tub and you're fine with adding your own flavor, this is a straightforward place to start. The limitation: it's unflavored, so you'll likely want to blend it with fruit, milk, or a flavored beverage rather than drink it straight.
NOW Sports Pea Protein, Easily Digested, Unflavored Powder (12 oz)
This 12-oz unflavored powder is listed at USD 28.71. It also delivers 24g of protein per scoop and is described as easily digested, with over 4,200mg of BCAAs and over 2,000mg of arginine. The main reason to pick it is the smaller size: it's a compact tub if you're new to pea protein or want a travel-friendly option. The limitation is that the container holds less powder than the other two pea protein options, so you'll need to restock sooner if you use it regularly.
Zammex Organic Pea Protein Powder (2.62 lb)
This organic, unflavored powder is listed at USD 34.94 and comes in a 2.62-lb tub. The description says each serving offers 26g of protein, 5.1g of BCAAs, 18 amino acids, 1.2g of dietary fiber, and 120 calories. It's sourced from Canadian yellow peas and is described as non-GMO, gluten-free, and soy-free. If you're looking for an organic plant-based powder and want a higher protein number per serving than the NOW options, this is the pick. The limitation is that it has the highest listed price among the three pea protein powders, and the unflavored formula means you'll need to mix it with something flavorful.
Animal Pak Multivitamin, 2-Pack (30 Packets per pack)
This is the only non-powder product in the roundup, listed at USD 55.06 for a 2-pack of 30 packets. The product description describes it as a daily performance and nutrition supplement that combines essential vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids into one pill pack. The formula includes zinc and vitamins C, B, and D, and the listing says the improved formula uses 25% fewer pills than the previous version. It's designed for active lifestyles and can be used before or after workouts. The limitation: it doesn't provide protein powder or a protein shake, so if your primary need is post-workout protein, a pea protein powder will be more direct.
Final recommendation by use case
- For the lowest-priced powder container: The NOW Foods Pea Protein (2 lb) has the lowest listed price in this group.
- For a smaller, easily digested powder: The NOW Sports Pea Protein (12 oz) is a compact unflavored option with 24g of protein per scoop.
- For organic, plant-based protein: The Zammex Organic Pea Protein (2.62 lb) is the organic choice with 26g of protein per serving.
- For a daily supplement pack instead of a powder: The Animal Pak Multivitamin 2-Pack bundles vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids in pill form.
