Whey protein isolate (WPI) is a high-protein filtered milk product containing very little fats, lactose or carbohydrates. Our high-quality WPI is sourced from New Zealand, where the dairy farming practices and pristine environment are unparalleled. Our whey undergoes less acidification and pasteurisation than others, resulting in a superior essential amino acid profile.
Our organic matcha is grown in Kyoto, Japan and is naturally high in health-promoting tea catchetins, chlorophyll and amino acids. It’s ideal for boosting metabolism, enhancing concentration and reducing stress.
Monk fruit extract provides just the right amount of sweetness, tasting similar to brown sugar, and having anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-allergic effects.
These orchid vines climb existing trees, poles or whatever they can find and produce deep green beans. When picked, they are quickly blanched in boiling water then set out to dry. Known for its mood enhancing properties and warm inviting aroma. Provides the blend with a delicious, crowd-pleasing taste! Our vanilla is the same A-grade beans that you will find in specialty cooking stores and delis.
We include a tiny amount of non-GMO soy lecithin in our whey protein blends - 0.1%. It is an emulsifier that’s needed for mixing, and it keeps the whey powder from bricking when mixed with liquid.

Isn’t whey protein just for athletes and bodybuilders?

I love it! Flaovur is amazing!
This one is my favourite powder. I wish I would have only bought this protein vs the vanilla or cacao flavour. It blends very well with almond milk or banana and almond.
It tastes really good! More than expected:)
First time ever to try matcha and loved it!
Delectably smooth and creamy with a clean matcha taste that is perfect with water, in pancakes, or milk!
