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 essential amino acids needed for your body to recover and perform optimally.
Protein helps to boost metabolism and prevent body fat storage in conjunction with an active lifestyle. Blending up a serve of our whey protein isolate 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
High quality pure organic stevia provides just the right touch of sweetness without contributing unnecessary sugars to your waistline. Stevia is low GI and also has the added advantage of not feeding plaque on your teeth like sugar does.
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.
1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. 2. Add more mango if the smoothie is too runny, or more coconut milk if it's too thick to achieve desired consistency. 3. Serve straight away in a bowl and if desired, top with your favourite toppings. We used crushed macadamias.
1. Preheat the oven on to 190c/375f. In a small baking pan add the stone fruits and 2 tbsp water. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Place in the oven to roast for around 25 minutes, until golden and caramelised, stirring halfway. 2. Combine the oats and 2 cups of water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Once boiling drop to simmer on low, stirring regularly for around 8 minutes. While this is simmering, combine the nut milk with protein powder in a blender (like this Vitamix). Whizz until combined. Add this to the simmering oats and stir well for another 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and creamy. 3. Split the porridge between 2 bowls and top with roasted fruits, fresh berries and almond butter. Recipe can be halved for 1 serve.
1. Place the protein powder, oat bran, peanut butter and rice malt syrup into a food processor and process until you get a dough. You will need to add a little water to bring everything together – I usually add about 1/2 cup water. 2. Line a tray with baking paper. Form the mixture into bar shapes with your hands and press onto the tray. Leave in the fridge to firm up. 3. Store in the fridge and use within a week or freeze. *Oats and oat bran naturally don't contain gluten, but as they are often processed on the same equipment as wheat, they can have traces of gluten. If you're strictly gluten-free, you can buy gluten-free oats and process them in a food processor to get 1 1/2 cups oat flour.

The essential amino acids in each WPI blend can be viewed in the nutritional table on the product page.

As pregnancy is extremely personalised, we do recommend that prior to taking whey protein, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a physician to be sure whey protein is right for them.

Isn’t whey protein just for athletes and bodybuilders?

But protein is important for everyone, not just athletes and bodybuilders, and can be incorporated to almost any diet to support a healthy lifestyle!
Can I use WPI as meal replacement?

We do of course recommend a healthy wholefood diet in conjunction with our supplements, and at least a minimal amount of exercise per day so that you can make the most out of our protein and it's lean-muscle building and weight-management attributes.

This is such a yummy blend! I’ve added mango, berries or green blends and they all make for tasty variations. I have also never found a vanilla that actually tasted like vanilla ice cream, but this one delivers!! It’s also so creamy.
Everyone has learnt about mum secret protein smoothies - I might have to start hiding a second batch just for me!
Best PP I've found yet. The flavour is nice yet subtle and is pleasing both alone with water or in a smoothie. Makes smoothies so light and creamy x
Bare Blends Vanilla Bean WPI is the best protein powder I’ve ever tasted. Clean, natural taste - not the over-the-top big vanilla hit you get from supermarket brands - Bare Blends is more subtle, which means a great vanilla taste AND you still taste everything else in your smoothies too!
I add this to my smoothie base of banana, raspberry and almond milk. Love it - flavour is great and keeps me fuller for longer.
