Common questions

Is Ascent Plant Protein healthy?

Ascent Plant Protein scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Ascent Plant Protein?

Ascent Plant Protein lists 6 ingredients, starting with Organic Pea Protein, Organic Sunflower Protein, Organic Pumpkin Protein, Organic Cocoa (Processed With Alkali) and Organic Guar Gum. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Ascent Plant Protein contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Ascent Plant Protein’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

Ascent Plant Protein is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.
