Colleen Kavanagh is here with the latest Food Gossip! Wondering why our beloved Pure Plant Protein Powder has been out of stock?
Watch the video to hear the full update, including why it took longer than expected and how we found a new supplier that meets our strict sourcing and purity standards.
ZEGO’s Pure Plant Protein Powder is Coming Back! Here’s Why It Took So Long
When our original supplier, who worked directly with farmers, had to close their business, we knew finding a replacement wouldn’t be easy. ZEGO’s whole food Pure Plant Protein Powder is made from 100% sacha inchi. This nutrient-dense seed is naturally high in protein and has the best balance of all 9 essential amino acids compared to pea, rice, soy, and hemp. It’s also easily digestible, making it a fantastic choice for those looking for a clean, plant-based protein source.
But not all sacha inchi protein is created equal. Many versions on the market have a strong, bitter taste and gritty texture—qualities we knew wouldn’t meet ZEGO’s high standards. After months of searching, we finally found a handful of suppliers whose protein met our taste and texture requirements.
Purity Matters
Of course, taste and texture weren’t the only hurdles. At ZEGO, we go beyond organic. We test for 500+ pesticides and heavy metals, ensuring our plant-based protein powder is as clean as possible. Unfortunately, most of the samples we tested failed our lab’s heavy metal screenings—some by a shocking amount.
But we finally found one that meets our purity standards. We’re thrilled to bring ZEGO’s Pure Plant Protein Powder back to you in April (maybe even sooner!).

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• Pinch of pink sea salt
• 2 tbsp key lime juice
• Crushed gluten-free graham crackers (for topping)

Every ZEGO purchase supports U.S. farmers—here’s why that matters!
✅ Grown in the USA – Our oats aren’t imported, meaning fresher food + small local farm support.
✅ We partner with farmers who prioritize soil health, purity protocol gluten-free standards, and organic growing practices.
✅ Regenerative Farming – Healthier soil = more nutritious food + a healthier planet.
✅ Lower Carbon Footprint – Supporting U.S. farmers helps reduce emissions from long-distance food
Choosing U.S.-grown oats helps reduce transportation emissions, strengthen our food system, and create a better future for farmers.
🌾 But did you know it’s much more challenging for farmers to be both organic and gluten-free?
This Friday, ZEGO Founder Colleen Kavanagh is diving into this in a new episode of Food Gossip, straight from Montana’s farm country. Stay tuned!

Some people love winter. Some merely tolerate it. But everyone loves a cozy bowl of oatmeal on a snowy morning. ☃️🥣 Agree or disagree? Drop a ❄️ if you’re team winter, or a 🔥 if you need this bowl to warm you up!

Do you know how our product gets on a grocery store shelf near you? 🛒 We have to pitch ZEGO to retailers across the country, or – if someone knows about us or enough customers request us – stores can ask us to be a supplier! With so many brands out there trying to get a store’s attention, sometimes we attend trade shows where grocery store buyers get to meet us face to face and sample our products. It’s an important part of our sales and marketing team – because it’s how we get our product on your favorite store’s shelf!
We loved being able to meet our retailer partners face-to-face at the recent KeHE Distributors #KeHeSummer show! Imagine you own one store and it has a small footprint – you’ve got to be selective on what brands you choose to stock your shelves. And you’re choosing to bring our products in over the competition? Thank you!
Every retailer, every store, every purchase – it’s a chance to tell our founder story, our transparency story, and the future of our brand. Thank you to our retailer partners that are choosing ZEGO!

💕Looking for a warm, wholesome breakfast that feels like a treat but is totally nourishing? Our Gluten-Free Apple Cranberry Baked Oats are warm, moist, and have that irresistible bread pudding-like texture—but with all the goodness of ZEGO’s Organic Apple Cranberry Muesli! 🍏🍒✨
Bonus: This recipe is naturally egg-free & dairy-free (but you’d never know it!). The secret? Mashed bananas and ground flax help bind everything together while keeping it super moist. 🙌
💌 Make it extra special: Top with pomegranate seeds for a festive crunch or drizzle on the optional Maple Cinnamon Glaze!
