Good Protein Review Canada (2026): High Protein vs All-in-One, Taste, and Is It Good?
By Bulldog Nutrition Editorial Team | Updated: November 2026
Quick Answer
Yes, Good Protein is a good plant-based protein if you pick the right shake for your goal. The High Protein Shake gives 32 g of pea protein, 5 g of BCAAs and 190 calories per 47 g scoop, which suits training days. The All-in-One Shake gives 21 g of protein plus 7 g of fibre, 25 vitamins and minerals, probiotics and digestive enzymes per 44 g scoop, which suits busy days. Both are vegan, dairy-free and made in Canada. The most common complaint is that they taste sweet. Bulldog Nutrition is an authorized Canadian and US retailer of Good Protein, with nationwide shipping.
Look up Good Protein and most of what you find is a Reddit thread, a star rating or the brand's own page. None of those answers the question most shoppers actually have: the brand's two main powdered shakes are very different, so which one is worth buying, and what is in it?
This review covers both lines Bulldog Nutrition carries. Every label number comes from Good Protein's bilingual Canadian Nutrition Facts panels and the brand's own website. Taste notes summarize what buyers say in public reviews. Where the brand does not publish something, we say so.

Who Makes Good Protein?
Good Protein is a Canadian company. On its FAQ page the brand says it is "based in Montreal" and that its "blends are made right here in Canada," with ingredients from suppliers around the world. Its story page says founder Edward began in 2019 by searching for the best suppliers and ingredients he could find. The brand refers to "our manufacturer," so we describe the shakes simply as made in Canada.
Every Good Protein flavour Bulldog carries is plant-based and sweetened with Rebaudioside M (Reb M), which the brand describes as a stevia-derived sweetener. The bags carry Vegan, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free and Made in Canada badges. Those are the brand's own label claims, not third-party certification marks.
High Protein Shake vs All-in-One Shake: What's the Difference?
Good Protein puts it simply on its own comparison graphic: "Two different shakes. Two different purposes." The High Protein Shake is the training shake. The All-in-One Shake is the daily-nutrition shake. The label numbers show how far apart they are.
| Per scoop (per label) | High Protein Shake | All-in-One Shake |
|---|---|---|
| Scoop size | 47 g | 44 g |
| Protein | 32 g (pea protein) | 21 g (yellow pea protein) |
| Calories | 190 | 170 (Vanilla Milkshake) |
| BCAAs | 5 g (brand figure); 2.47–2.54 g leucine | Not published |
| Carbohydrate / fibre | 7 g / 3 g (4 g net) | 13 g / 7 g |
| Sugar | 0 g Chocolate Milk, 1 g Peanut Butter & Jelly | 0–1 g depending on flavour |
| Vitamins and minerals | Calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium | 25 listed, most at about 50% of the Daily Value |
| Probiotics and enzymes | No | Yes |
| Servings per bag | 10 (470 g) | 10 (440 g) or 20 (880 g) |
| Built for | Training and recovery | Daily nutrition on busy days |
Good Protein High Protein Shake 470 g
The High Protein Shake puts 32 g of pea protein into a 47 g scoop, so roughly two-thirds of every scoop is protein. The brand's typical amino acid profile lists 2.47 g of leucine per serving in Chocolate Milk and 2.54 g in Peanut Butter & Jelly, which is the amino acid most closely tied to starting muscle protein synthesis. At 190 calories with 4 g of net carbs, it is a lean shake, not a weight gainer.
The ingredient list is short. Chocolate Milk is pea protein, natural flavours, alkalized cocoa, medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil, guar, acacia and xanthan gums, Reb M and salt. Bulldog carries it in Chocolate Milk and Peanut Butter & Jelly. Peanut Butter & Jelly contains peanuts and sesame.

Good Protein All-in-One Shake 440 g and 880 g
The All-in-One Shake trades some protein for everything else. One 44 g scoop of Vanilla Milkshake has 21 g of protein, 7 g of fibre (25% of the Daily Value) and 170 calories. The panel lists 25 vitamins and minerals, most at about half the Daily Value, including 10 µg of vitamin D, 1.15 µg of vitamin B12, 210 µg DFE of folate, 5.5 mg of zinc and 13.5 mg of iron (75% of the Daily Value). The brand adds what it calls a digestive blend of probiotics and digestive enzymes.
Good Protein names yellow pea, coconut, sweet potato, tapioca, broccoli, spinach, golden flaxseed and shiitake mushroom among its ingredients, and the front of the bag counts 20 fruits and vegetables. Bulldog carries the 440 g bag in Vanilla Milkshake, Strawberries & Cream and Chocolate Fudge, and the 880 g bag in Vanilla Milkshake, Strawberries & Cream, Peanut Butter, Mocha, Mixed Berries and Cookies & Cream.

Does Good Protein Taste Good?
Taste is the reason most people try Good Protein, and it is also where opinions split. Across public reviews, the praise is consistent: the shakes are smooth rather than gritty, they mix in water, and the dessert flavours taste like the dessert. The most common complaint is just as consistent: some people find them too sweet.
That sweetness comes from Reb M. If you find a full scoop too sweet, the usual fixes are more liquid, a half scoop, or blending it with ice, frozen banana or unsweetened plant milk. Good Protein's preparation guide calls for one scoop in 300–500 mL of liquid, shaken for 45 seconds, which is more liquid than many people use. A smaller number of reviewers describe some flavours as chalky, so if texture matters to you, start with a 440 g bag before committing to the 880 g.
Not sure which shake fits? If your goal is protein after training, start with the High Protein Shake. If you want one shake to cover protein, fibre and micronutrients on a busy day, start with the All-in-One. Bulldog Nutrition carries both and ships across Canada and the US.
Is Plant Protein as Good as Whey for Building Muscle?
For most lifters, a well-dosed pea protein does the job. In a 12-week randomized trial of 161 men doing resistance training, Babault and colleagues gave 25 g of pea protein, whey or placebo twice a day. Muscle thickness increased over the 12 weeks, and the researchers found no difference between the pea and whey groups. They concluded that pea protein "could be used as an alternative to Whey-based dietary products."
The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends 20–40 g of high-quality protein per dose, containing 700–3,000 mg of leucine, and 1.4–2.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for most exercising people. The High Protein Shake's 32 g and roughly 2.5 g of leucine sit inside that range. The All-in-One's 21 g is at the low end, which is fine for a daily shake but is the reason it is not the one to pick when post-workout protein is the priority. If you are comparing plant options more widely, our guide to the best plant-based protein powder in Canada covers the other vegan proteins we stock.
Is There Lead in Good Protein?
Lead and heavy metals are a common question about plant protein, and Good Protein is no exception. The brand answers it on its heavy metal testing page. It says every lot of its All-in-One Shake is independently tested for heavy metals by accredited third-party laboratories, that its results are well within Health Canada safety standards, and that its ingredients and raw materials are routinely tested for heavy metals. Its FAQ adds that its manufacturer holds a Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification under the Global Food Safety Initiative.
Trace heavy metals occur naturally in soil, water and the plants grown in them, which is why the question comes up for every plant protein. The brand does not post the lab numbers, and its lot-testing statement names the All-in-One Shake rather than the High Protein Shake. If lot-specific results matter to you, ask Good Protein for the certificate of analysis for the lot you buy. The same question is worth asking of any plant protein brand.
Who Should Buy Good Protein, and Which One?
- Vegans and lifters avoiding dairy: the High Protein Shake gives a whey-level dose of protein with no whey, casein or lactose.
- Anyone who wants protein after training: pick the High Protein Shake for 32 g and about 2.5 g of leucine per scoop.
- Busy days and quick breakfasts: pick the All-in-One for protein, fibre and micronutrients in one scoop.
- People who already take a multivitamin or iron supplement: check your total intake before adding the All-in-One, since one scoop has 75% of the Daily Value for iron.
- People with peanut, tree nut or sesame allergies: read the label for your flavour. The peanut flavours contain peanuts and sesame, and the shakes carry "may contain" statements.
- Anyone who dislikes sweet shakes: start with a smaller bag and use more liquid.

⚠️ Good Protein shakes are plant-based. Peanut Butter & Jelly and Peanut Butter contain peanuts and sesame, and other flavours may contain peanuts, tree nuts or sesame. The High Protein Shake label states it is produced in a facility that also processes wheat, milk, eggs, fish and soybeans. The All-in-One Shake provides 75% of the Daily Value for iron per scoop. Always read the full label before use. These statements have not been evaluated by Health Canada or the FDA for disease treatment or prevention.
FAQ
Is Good Protein actually good?
For most people looking for a dairy-free protein, yes. The High Protein Shake delivers 32 g of pea protein per scoop, and research comparing pea and whey protein during resistance training found no difference in muscle-thickness gains. The All-in-One adds fibre and 25 vitamins and minerals. The trade-off buyers mention most is sweetness.
What is the difference between the Good Protein 32g shake and the All-in-One Shake?
The 32 g High Protein Shake is built for training: 32 g of protein, 5 g of BCAAs and 4 g of net carbs per scoop. The All-in-One is built for daily nutrition: 21 g of protein with 7 g of fibre, 25 vitamins and minerals, probiotics and digestive enzymes. Pick the High Protein Shake for maximum protein and the All-in-One for a more complete daily shake.
Is Good Protein a Canadian company?
Yes. Good Protein says it is based in Montreal and that its blends are made in Canada, with ingredients from suppliers around the world. The bags carry a bilingual English and French Canadian label.
What sweetener does Good Protein use?
Good Protein sweetens its flavoured shakes with Rebaudioside M (Reb M), which the brand describes as a stevia-derived sweetener. That keeps sugar at 0–1 g per scoop. Reb M is also why some people find the shakes sweet, so adding more liquid helps.
Is the Good Protein All-in-One Shake a meal replacement?
No. Good Protein says on its FAQ page that the All-in-One Shake "is not officially recognized as a meal replacement by government agencies in Canada." It works as a nutrient-dense shake alongside regular meals, not as a substitute for them.
Is there lead in Good Protein?
Good Protein says every lot of its All-in-One Shake is independently tested for heavy metals by accredited third-party laboratories, with results well within Health Canada safety standards, and that its ingredients are routinely tested. It does not post the lab numbers, so ask the brand for the certificate of analysis for your lot if you want lot-specific results.
What do you mix Good Protein with?
Water or plant-based milk. Good Protein's preparation guide suggests one scoop in 300–500 mL of liquid, shaken for 45 seconds or blended on high for 15 seconds. Blending with ice and frozen fruit gives a thicker shake and takes the edge off the sweetness.
Where can I buy Good Protein in Canada?
Bulldog Nutrition is an authorized Canadian and US retailer of Good Protein. We carry the High Protein Shake 470 g and the All-in-One Shake in 440 g and 880 g bags, sourced through authorized distribution and shipped across Canada and the United States.
Final Thoughts
Good Protein makes two shakes that are good at different things. The High Protein Shake is the one for your training days: 32 g of pea protein, a leucine dose inside the ISSN range, and nothing you need to work around except the sweetness. The All-in-One is the one for the days when a shake has to do more than protein. Pick by goal, start with a smaller bag if you are sensitive to sweet flavours, and you will know within a week which one fits.
