Why is our Raw Cacao WPC a cut above the rest?
Bare Blends’ whey protein concentrate (WPC) is produced as a liquid by-product of cheese making process in the pristine environments of New Zealand and Australia's dairy grazing fields. WPC is closest to the natural form of whey.
It contains small amounts of fats and carbohydrates, and has a higher lactose content than WPI. Much of the natural amino acid profile and immune boosting factions retained in WPC are typically lost in other whey proteins.

Improving your recovery time
Protein intake is vital after exercise, as it assists the repair of exercise-induced damage to muscle fibres. It facilitates the replenishment of depleted energy stores and contains the amino acids needed for your body to recover and perform optimally.
Weight management
Protein helps to boost metabolism and prevent body fat storage in conjunction with an active lifestyle. Blending up a serve of our WPC with dairy/nut milk with some frozen fruit is a delicious healthy breakfast or lunch which will keep you nutritionally satisfied until your next meal.
Immunity and wellness
Protein is essential for a healthy working immune system. It is a major energy source and it is responsible for everything from building tissues, boosting immunity, and making your hair and nails strong and shiny.
Ingredients
You won't find any fillers or ingredients that provide no nutritional value in our blends. We use minimal ingredients and processing to craft a protein that delivers on performance and taste.
New Zealand And Australian Whey Protein Concentrate

Organic raw cacao

Our vanilla is the same A-grade beans that you will find in specialty cooking stores and delis.

No, absolutely not. Whey protein has long been the protein of choice for athletes and body builders because it is the most easily absorbed, purest source of complete protein available. But this is important for everyone, not just athletes and body builders, and can be incorporated to almost any diet to support a healthy lifestyle!
Yes! Blend Bare Blends with some fruit and a highly nutritious milk like a nut or oat milk and you have yourself a meal replacement. Keep in mind that a well balanced diet of wholefoods and fresh greens is still needed for optimal health.
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.
While not certified organic, our whey has all the advantages of 100% natural pastures. The milk for our whey proteins is derived from cows that are grass-fed and graze year-round on natural pastures. It is GMO-free, hormone-treatment-free, pesticide -free and undergoes minimal processing.
Due to regulation, all commercial powdered dairy products are legally required to undergo heat pasteurisation in order to be sold. The whey used in our products is minimally processed using low heat resulting in the full range of biologically active protein components to be maintained in their native forms, particularly in our Native WPI which is filtered directly from milk (meaning only one pasteurization compared to 2 or 3 for usual processes), unlike the typical cheese byproduct used.
