Nutiva alternatives

Nutiva alternatives come up when Peak Protein is out of stock, when 15g of protein per scoop is not enough, or when you want published heavy-metal numbers in µg per serving. Nutiva is a long-running organic hemp brand with fiber-forward powders. Here is how nearby options compare.

Disclosure: I run Cantein. Cantein is listed as one alternative.

More protein per scoop • Short organic labels • Fiber trade-offs • Shop Cantein

Option	Protein / serving	Fiber	Notes
Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein (Peak)	15g / 30g	6g	USDA Organic; brand has published lead-per-serving ranges
Cantein Unflavored	28g / 35g	2g	80% protein; 1 ingredient; Eurofins sample published
Manitoba Harvest Max Protein	20g / 32g	3g	Canadian; mid protein
Navitas Organics Hemp Powder	13g / 30g	7g	Most fiber of common hemp powders
Anthony's Organic Hemp Seed Protein	15g / 30g	6g	Budget hemp; Prop 65 warning on some listings

Cantein vs Nutiva

Nutiva wins if fiber is half the reason you bought hemp. Cantein wins if you want roughly double the protein per scoop and a one-ingredient tub. Nutiva has publicly discussed lead in the 0.6–0.8µg per serving range for its hemp protein; Cantein's September 2025 Eurofins sample measured 0.22µg lead per 35g scoop. Different labs and lots, so treat both as starting points and ask for current PDFs. See third-party tested protein powder.

Other swaps

Still want Canadian hemp: Manitoba Harvest or Navitas.
Want fiber first: Navitas or Nutiva Fiber Plus-style SKUs.
Want price first: Anthony's.

Broader comparison: best hemp protein powder and Manitoba Harvest alternatives.

The short version

Nutiva alternative for protein density: Cantein Unflavored. Nutiva alternative for fiber: Navitas. Keep asking for dated metal results either way.
