I'm sure it's happened to you: you're standing in front of a bunch of containers with labels promising energy, muscles, satiety… and you think:
"Okay, but... which one actually works?"
I understand. The world of plant-based proteins can be a maze. And when you're looking to take care of yourself—without artifice, without complicating your life—the last thing you need is more confusion.
That's why I've prepared this guide.
To help you choose a plant-based protein that truly feels good for you , provides what you need, and fits your lifestyle.
1. Effectiveness is not just on the label
It's not just about how many grams of protein it contains, but how your body absorbs it and how it makes you feel.
An effective protein should:
-
Have a complete amino acid profile (so your muscles and energy will notice).
-
To be easy to digest , without bloating or heaviness.
-
It should be made with clean, natural ingredients , not a lab-made list.
For example, at Glorioso we use a mixture of pea, pumpkin, sunflower and rice , which complement each other perfectly, along with Digezyme digestive enzymes .
This translates into smooth shakes that are easy to digest and truly absorbed.
That's all it takes. Sometimes, simple works best.
2. Less is more (especially in the ingredient list)
A good plant-based protein doesn't need to be disguised.
If you see names you don't understand or an endless list of additives... be suspicious.
Think of what you put in your body as needing no translation .
Look for short formulas, with recognizable ingredients, without added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
At Glorioso we are clear about it: we use organic ingredients whenever possible , without synthetic flavorings or fillers.
Because the body notices the difference between what is real and what is not.
3. Not all proteins are for the same purpose.
Each person has their own time and their own reason.
Wanting to recover better after training is not the same as wanting to feel satiated or take care of your digestion .
-
If you train frequently, you'll benefit from a combination of several different protein sources , rich in amino acids.
-
If you simply want to feel light and energetic , opt for formulas with digestive enzymes and no added sugars.
The beauty of it is that you can find a balance without sacrificing flavor or naturalness.
That was our starting point when we created Glorious.
4. Flavor also matters
Yes, the protein has to be healthy.
But you also have to like it.
If you make a face every time you pick it up, you'll end up leaving it in the cupboard.
And consistency—not miracles—is what truly transforms your well-being.
That's why we take care of the natural and balanced flavors , the creamy texture and the ease of mixing it with whatever you like: a smoothie, porridge or a simple glass of cold water.
Because if something makes you feel good, it should also taste good.
5. Before you decide, remember this
When you're choosing your plant-based protein, do this quick mental check:
☑️ Does it have a good combination of plant sources?
☑️ Is it easy to digest?
☑️ Do you avoid sugars or artificial sweeteners?
☑️ Does it include digestive enzymes?
☑️ Do you like how it tastes?
If you check all the boxes, you've made a good choice.
And if you also want something tried and tested, honest and with attention to detail… you'll probably find exactly what you're looking for at Gloriosa .
💚 Find your ideal protein
Taking care of yourself doesn't have to be complicated.
You just need to choose consciously and feel good about what you take each day.
