Momentous Protein Basics: Whey Isolate vs. Plant Protein (and Where Recovery Fits)

By Darin Anderson · October 2026

Both Momentous protein powders give you 20 g of protein per serving and are NSF Certified for Sport®. The choice mostly comes down to dairy, taste and how you plan to use it.

Whey Protein Isolate

• Grass-fed whey from European dairy farms, with ProHydrolase® enzyme.
• 25 servings per container; flavors include an unflavored option that’s just whey isolate and the enzyme.
• Momentous says it is not guaranteed lactose-free.

100% Plant Protein

• Pea (PURIS®) and organic brown rice protein sourced from the U.S. and Canada.
• 22 servings per container; listed as vegan and gluten-free.

Where Recovery fits

Recovery isn’t a straight protein powder. It pairs whey isolate with 10 g of carbohydrate and a few added ingredients, and Momentous positions it for after longer or higher-volume training.

A practical way to decide

1. Do you eat dairy comfortably? If not, go plant.
2. Do you mostly want to add protein to your day? Whey isolate or plant.
3. Are your sessions long enough that you also want carbs afterward? Consider Recovery.

Momentous frames protein powder as a supplement to whole-food meals, not a replacement.
