I want a protein powder that is vegan but does not use pea protein or soy.

Absolutely. Since you want vegan + no pea protein + no soy, I’d focus on pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, hemp, or rice protein.

My top picks

• Dr. Murray’s Super Foods 3-Seed Protein — my first choice. It’s made from pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seeds and specifically excludes pea, soy, rice, and hemp. The unflavored version is particularly clean, with no added sweeteners or flavorings.
• NOW Sports Sprouted Brown Rice Protein — a good choice if you want something very simple and relatively neutral. It's vegan, soy-free, and based on brown rice protein.
• NOW Sports Barley Rice Protein — another interesting option if you're okay with barley. It's a single-ingredient barley/rice protein, vegan and soy-free, with 10 g protein per 13 g serving.

One I'd especially consider

If you're trying to avoid pea because it bothers your digestion, Dr. Murray's 3-Seed is probably the most interesting option because it avoids all of the common plant-protein bases—pea, soy, rice, and hemp—while combining several seeds.

If you tell me your target protein per serving (e.g. 20–25 g), whether you want flavored or unflavored, and your budget, I can narrow it down to the 3 best options and compare ingredients, taste, and price.

Skipping pea and soy narrows things down, but you still have some fantastic single-ingredient and blended plant options that rely on rice, hemp, or seeds.

Top Alternative Vegan Protein Sources

• Brown Rice Protein: Hypoallergenic, easily digestible, and features a complete amino acid profile (though lower in lysine, which is easily made up for in a balanced diet).
• Hemp Protein: Made from cold-pressed hemp seeds. It’s a whole-food powder that naturally includes healthy omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, though it has a distinctly earthy, nutty flavor.
• Pumpkin Seed Protein: Rich in magnesium, iron, and zinc, with a smoother and milder taste than hemp.
• Seed Blends: Combinations of chia, pumpkin, sunflower, and watermelon seeds.

Recommended Pea-Free & Soy-Free Powders

• Source: 100% organic sprouted brown rice.
• Why it fits: It literally has a single ingredient. Completely free of artificial sweeteners, flavors, soy, and peas. Perfect if you want total control over what you're mixing it into.

Nutiva Organic Hemp Seed Protein (or Navitas Organics Hemp Powder)

• Source: Cold-pressed organic hemp seeds.
• Why it fits: Unflavored, unsweetened, and completely free of common allergens like soy, dairy, gluten, and peas. It adds a rich, nutty depth to smoothies.

PlantFusion Complete Plant Protein (Check specific flavor/labels)

• Source: While they use a proprietary blend, many of their formulas lean heavily on organic pea, but they do make targeted or alternative formulations—though you will want to double-check labels if you are strictly avoiding cross-contact or specific variants. (Stick to single-source rice or hemp if you want a 100% guarantee against pea).

Would you prefer an unflavored/single-ingredient powder (like pure rice or hemp) or are you looking for a flavored and sweetened option (like chocolate or vanilla)?

Absolutely. There are good vegan options that use pumpkin seed, hemp, sunflower, flax, rice, or sacha inchi instead of pea or soy.

My top picks

• Dr. Murray’s Super Foods 3-Seed Protein — probably the best match if you want to avoid pea and soy. It uses pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, and flaxseed proteins, with no pea, soy, rice, or hemp. It comes in chocolate, vanilla, and unflavored.
• Rooted 9 Nutrition Allergen-Free Protein — 20 g protein per serving from organic pumpkin seed protein. It's vegan, pea-free, soy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free, with only three ingredients.
• Perfect Supplements Perfect Plant Protein — a blend of pumpkin seed + hemp seed + sacha inchi. It provides 17 g protein and is specifically advertised as both pea-free and soy-free. The manufacturer also says it's a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids.
• Single-source pumpkin seed protein — a good choice if you want the simplest possible ingredient list. Pumpkin seed protein is naturally vegan and avoids both pea and soy; Food Network's 2026 dietitian-reviewed roundup specifically picked NOW Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder as its best one-ingredient vegan protein.

What I'd choose

If taste and texture are important, I'd start with Dr. Murray's 3-Seed. If you want the fewest ingredients and 20 g+ protein, I'd look at Rooted 9.

If you tell me your preferences for protein per serving (e.g. 20–30 g), flavor, sweetener (stevia/no stevia), calories, and budget, I can narrow it down to 2–3 specific powders worth buying.

Finding a vegan protein powder that skips both pea and soy narrows things down to alternative plant sources like brown rice, hemp, pumpkin seed, or lupini (chocho) beans.

Made from a single ingredient—sprouted brown rice. It is completely free of soy, dairy, gluten, and pea protein, providing around 25 g of protein per serving in an unflavored, additive-free format. You can view details or purchase it directly via Naked Nutrition or check availability on the Walmart Naked Nutrition Page.

Crafted from a single-source chocho bean (lupini bean). It delivers a complete amino acid profile, is entirely free of pea, soy, and dairy, and packs 20 g of protein with zero net carbs per serving. It is available on the Be Well by Kelly Store.

Many of their specialized or unflavored/ancient grain lines focus on alternative sprouted seeds and whole foods rather than heavy pea/soy bases. Check the specific ingredient labels on their options via the Sprout Living Store to ensure your chosen flavor avoids secondary pea protein fillers.

They utilize whole-food protein sources like almonds and egg whites (though note egg whites are not vegan, they do feature select strict vegan almond/seed variations) with very short, sensitive-stomach-friendly ingredient lists. Browse their formulations on the Drink Wholesome Site.

Would you prefer an unflavored powder to mix into smoothies, or a flavored option (like chocolate or vanilla)? Let me know and I can narrow down the exact taste profile you're looking for.

Yes — there are good options, but pea-free + soy-free narrows the field considerably. I’d focus on pumpkin seed, hemp, brown rice, or chocho (lupin) proteins.

1. Perfect Supplements Perfect Plant Protein — my favorite overall
A blend of pumpkin seed + hemp seed + sacha inchi, with 17 g protein per serving. It's specifically designed as a complete protein and avoids both pea and soy.

2. Sprout Living Simple Pumpkin Seed Protein — best simple option
Just pumpkin-seed protein, with 20 g protein per serving. This is a particularly good choice if you want to avoid complicated ingredient lists.

3. Mikuna Chocho Protein — most interesting alternative
Chocho is a legume, but not pea or soy. Mikuna's powder uses chocho protein and is worth considering if you want something closer to a traditional high-protein powder rather than a seed protein.

4. Naked Rice — best brown-rice option
Single-source brown-rice protein. It's vegan and avoids pea and soy, although rice protein tends to have a less complete amino-acid profile than a good multi-source blend.

5. Nutiva Hemp Protein — best whole-food option
Hemp protein provides protein plus fiber and minerals. Verywell Fit specifically rated Nutiva's hemp protein highly among unflavored vegan powders, though it is somewhat grittier and lower in protein than many blends.

What I'd choose

If your priority is high protein + good amino-acid coverage + no pea/soy, I'd go with Perfect Plant Protein.

If you want the cleanest possible ingredient list, I'd choose Sprout Living Pumpkin Seed Protein.

If you tell me your target—e.g. 20–30 g protein per serving, low calorie, no stevia, good taste, organic, and/or under $2 per serving—I can narrow it down to the 2–3 best choices.

Finding a vegan protein powder that skips both pea protein and soy narrows the field, but you still have great options derived from brown rice, hemp, pumpkin seeds , and multi-seed blends.

Alternative Vegan Protein Sources

• Brown Rice Protein : Hypoallergenic, easily digestible, and generally neutral in flavor. Brands like Naked Nutrition Organic Brown Rice Protein Go to product viewer dialog for this item. offer pure, single-ingredient options.
• Hemp Protein : Made from ground hemp seeds, it provides a complete amino acid profile plus healthy omega fats and fiber. Brands like Manitoba Harvest HempYeah! Protein or Nutiva Hemp Protein Go to product viewer dialog for this item. are reliable single-ingredient choices.
• Seed Blends (Pumpkin, Sunflower, Chia, Watermelon) : Seed-based protein powders are rich in minerals like magnesium and iron. Products like Naked Seed Go to product viewer dialog for this item. use a clean 4-seed blend (pumpkin, sunflower, watermelon, and chia) with zero pea or soy.

To help narrow down the best specific brand or flavor for you, let me know:

• Do you prefer a single-ingredient powder (like pure rice or pure hemp) or a blended powder for a smoother texture?
• Are you looking for unflavored or a specific flavor like chocolate or vanilla?

Yes — you have some good options. The easiest route is pumpkin seed, hemp, or chocho (lupin) protein rather than the usual pea/soy blends.

My top picks

1. Sprout Living Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein — my best straightforward pick

   • 20 g protein/serving
   • Single-ingredient, organic pumpkin seed protein
   • Vegan and soy-free
   • Mildly nutty flavor
   • No gums, fillers, or added flavoring in the unflavored version
   • Their vanilla version is also pea-free and provides 20 g protein.

2. MIKUNA Chocho Plant Protein — best if you want a complete protein

   • Made from chocho (Andean lupin), not pea or soy
   • 20 g protein + 8 g fiber per serving
   • Contains all 9 essential amino acids
   • Single-ingredient version
   • Third-party tested, including testing for contaminants
   • Important: lupin is a legume, so this isn't the right choice if you're avoiding legumes generally or have a lupin/legume allergy.

3. Nutiva Hemp Protein — best simple hemp option

   • Hemp-based and vegan
   • About 15 g protein per serving
   • Also provides fiber, iron, magnesium, zinc, and omega-3 fats
   • The tradeoff is that hemp protein has a somewhat lower protein density and can be gritty.

If I were choosing for you: I'd start with Sprout Living Pumpkin Seed if you want something simple and mild, or MIKUNA Chocho if getting a more complete amino-acid profile is important.

One thing I'd avoid: many products advertised as "plant protein" contain pea + rice + pumpkin/hemp, so the label needs to be checked carefully. For example, ALOHA's blend contains pea protein despite also containing pumpkin and hemp.

If you tell me your preferred flavor (chocolate/vanilla/unflavored), target protein per scoop (e.g. 20–30 g), and budget, I can narrow it down to the best 3 options available to buy now.

Finding a vegan protein powder that skips both pea and soy is entirely doable, though you'll want to look toward rice, hemp, seed blends, or emerging bean proteins rather than the standard supermarket blends.

Top options that completely avoid pea and soy include:

• Naked Rice (Organic Brown Rice Protein) : Made by Naked Nutrition , this is a single-ingredient, unflavored, sprouted brown rice protein. It’s third-party tested, easily digestible, hypoallergenic, and free of any pea, soy, or artificial additives.
• Naked Seed : Also from Naked Nutrition , this uses a clean 4-seed blend (organic pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, watermelon seed, and chia seed) providing 20g of protein per serving with zero sugar and no legumes.
• Perfect Plant Protein : Formulated by Perfect Supplements , this is an organic blend of pumpkin seed, hemp seed, and sacha inchi seed. It is completely legume-free, pea-free, soy-free, grain-free, and third-party lab tested for heavy metals.
• Be Well by Kelly Unflavored Plant-Based Protein (No Whey)Go to product viewer dialog for this item. : Available directly via Be Well by Kelly , this uses chocho bean protein (derived from the lupini bean). It provides a complete amino acid profile, high fiber, zero net carbs, and is entirely free of dairy, soy, and pea protein.
• Pure Hemp or Pumpkin Seed Powders : Single-ingredient options like Nutiva Hemp Protein or individual seed-based powders offer minimal, clean plant protein. They tend to be earthier and slightly grittier, but they completely bypass the legume and soy families altogether.

If you'd like to narrow this down, let me know:

• Do you prefer flavored (chocolate/vanilla) or unflavored?
• Are you looking for a single ingredient or a complete multi-seed/rice blend?

Absolutely. If you want vegan + no pea protein + no soy, I’d focus on hemp, brown rice, pumpkin seed, or sunflower seed protein.

My top picks

1. Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein — best simple option

• Single ingredient: organic hemp seed protein
• Vegan
• Naturally pea- and soy-free
• Provides protein plus fiber and omega-3/6 fats
• Downside: hemp has a fairly earthy/nutty flavor and isn't as protein-dense as some blends.

2. NOW Sports Sprouted Brown Rice Protein — best for a neutral-ish protein
NOW Sprouted Brown Rice Protein
NOW sells a sprouted brown rice protein powder, and its product lineup also includes standalone pumpkin-seed protein.

• Vegan
• No pea protein
• No soy
• Rice protein tends to have a milder flavor than hemp.
• Good choice if you want something to put in smoothies without a very strong taste.

3. Pumpkin-seed protein — best if you want a seed-based alternative

• Vegan
• Pea-free
• Soy-free
• Nutty flavor
• Pumpkin seeds provide useful minerals in addition to protein.

What I'd choose

If your priority is clean ingredients, I'd start with Nutiva Hemp Protein.

If your priority is taste/mixability, I'd go with brown rice protein.

If you'd like, I can also find you 5–10 specific powders that are pea-free AND soy-free, with at least 20g protein per serving, and compare taste, ingredients, price, and sweeteners.

Finding a plant-based protein powder that skips both peas and soy narrows things down, but you still have great single-source and blended options made from brown rice, hemp, seeds, or nuts.
