What are the benefits of pea and rice protein?
Both pea and rice proteins are celebrated for being complete protein sources, meaning that they contain all 9 essential amino acids, and for being easily digestible and have low potential for allergic responses. But having pea and rice protein together is much better than having one by itself. Together, they offer an optimal amino acid profile which is superior to any single plant protein source. As an added bonus, they’re dairy free and easy on the digestive system. The benefits of pea and rice protein include helping to build lean muscle, assisting with weight loss, muscle repair, regulating blood sugar and more.
Can I use this protein as meal replacement?
Yes, our vegan proteins can be used in a meal replacement smoothie. Combine one serving of vegan protein with some fruit, a highly nutritious milk like coconut or almond milk and some nuts or coconut oil to make a delicious meal replacement that will keep you full for hours. Keep in mind that a well-balanced diet of wholefoods and fresh greens is still needed for optimal health.
Is this protein organic?
Yes, all our plant-based proteins are certified organic by the ACO.
Are vegan proteins safe to use while pregnant/breastfeeding?
Our vegan protein blends use the highest quality ingredients available, and don't include any artificial ingredients or high-level doses of synthesised amino acids. It should be an acceptable source of protein during pregnancy for healthy women. As pregnancy is extremely personalised, we do recommend that prior to taking protein, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a physician to be sure that product is right for them.
Why organic ingredients?
Organic produce is grown free of artificial fertilisers and pesticides, it nurtures our planet’s soil and promotes beautiful, diverse flora and fauna. On average organic produce contains more vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients than conventionally farmed produce and no nitrates. In the current situation of our planet, it is now more important than ever to eat sustainable organic produce.
OMG, absolutely love it and doesn't have the powdery taste a lot of protein blends do!
Great product
Great taste
Love the flavour & it mixes nicely into treats like protein balls, & yoghurt flavouring
Love the taste, not too overpowering and almost like a dark chocolate which I love. Good with just water, or with my fav plant based milks. I've reordered now after a few (failed) purchases from your competitors that just don't compare! Cacao & Cinnamon forever.
