Taste the Evolution
What could make Earth Protein taste even better? The addition of creamy Fava Bean Protein and MCTs for a smoother mouth feel with the same great nutritional profile means you'll love the new taste of Earth Protein. Easy to mix, no clumping or grittiness, and in 6 delicious flavours.
Muscle Growth and Recovery
With over 22g of protein per 30g serve and a balanced amino spread, Earth protein is ideal to support your health, fitness and wellbeing. Light on the stomach, with gluten free and allergen free ingredients, there's none of the bloating or heaviness some experience with other protein sources.
All Natural Ingredients
Canadian grown Pea Protein combined with Rice and Fava Bean proteins, all components are natural, non GMO and cruelty free, with no animal sourced ingredients to ensure an all vegan, plant based functional protein source.
Fava Bean Protein
Fava Bean protein is very neutral tasting, blends well and further supports the superior nutritional profile of Earth Protein. It is particularly functional in cooking, so makes a great addition to bolster the protein and nutrition in recipes. We source a proportion of our Fava Bean Protein in Earth Protein from an Australian grown producer.
High Protein, Low Carb
Watching your macros, but looking for excellent recovery, Earth Protein is low carb (2g or less per 30g serve) and high protein, the ultimate combination for satiety while reducing muscle soreness when taken post workout.
Plant based diet
Plant based proteins are increasingly popular for general health, not just for vegans and vegetarians. Earth Protein will meet all your nutritional needs, and is particularly popular for those with allergies or digestive issues.

About Plant Based Protein Blends
Plant Protein Blends are a combination protein blend which combine natural plant based proteins (usually Pea and Rice).
Rice Protein is great to include in Plant Based Protein Blends as it’s high in protein and low in fats and carbohydrates. It also has high levels of Alanine, Arginine, Glutamic Acid and Tyrosine.
Plant Based Protein Blends often include free Pea Protein due to it being high in protein and low in carbohydrates as well as containing high levels of Serine and Tryptophan.
What’s the different between plant based protein and animal protein?
The main differences between plant based proteins and animal proteins is the lower protein content as well as lower levels of Leucine and Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). Animal proteins are closer to our own proteins in our body and are readily used at a faster rate.
A Plant Based Protein Blend however produces a more complete protein sources and a more compelling alternative to animal proteins. Plant Based Protein Blends have a more balanced spectrum of amino acid and can be comparable with a Whey Protein regarding muscle growth and recovery.
How do Plant Based Protein Blends compare in taste?
Plant Based Protein Blend aren’t as creamy as a Whey Protein but over the last decade taste and texture have improved as the products become more of a mainstream adoption.
Rice Proteins can often be hard and gritty, while Pea Proteins help improving smoothen the blend improving the texture.
Natural sweeteners are usually added to protein blends as they can help counteract the bitterness sometimes found in other Plant Based Proteins Blends.
Other reasons to make the switch to Plant Based Protein Blend?
Rice and Pea Protein Blends contain no animal products and are generally free from soy and lactose. This makes a Plant Based Protein Blends perfect for vegetarians and vegans or those who are sensitive to lactose as they’re virtually allergy free.
Plant Based Protein Blends can be a more sustainably option, as to produce them uses far less CO2, less land and less water when compared with producing animal proteins.
Some people also choose Plant Based Protein Blends due to ethical reasons.
Plant Based Protein Blend FAQs
What are Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder Blends?
Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder Blends are made by combining the purified and refined protein which come from plants. Pea, Rice, Soy, Mung Bean and Hemp are common examples of these.
These are generally extracted using water, heat and filtration… with the liquid matter then dried and further refined. The resulting powdered protein product usually has a protein content of between 50 to 90% pure protein.
Why are Plant Based Vegan Protein Powders better?
Plant Based Vegan Protein Powders are better for people who have digestive issues with dairy, as well as vegans who don’t want to consume any animal matter.
Plant Based Proteins are arguably better for the environment as they take less land to grow and use less resources in the refinement process. This results in Plant Based Proteins generally being accepted as having a smaller carbon footprint.
Are Plant Based Vegan Protein Powders as good as Dairy Protein at building muscle?
This question is still somewhat debated, but the consensus is that Plant Based Vegan Protein Powders are not as good as Dairy Proteins at building muscle. Dairy proteins have a better spread of amino acids, a higher PCDAA score with greater bioavailability.
Most importantly to many people, dairy proteins taste better, they are more reminiscent of a milk shake – as they originate from milk.
The good news is that many studies which compared plant based proteins to whey concluded plant based proteins simply require a larger dose. Once the dose is increased (and key BCAA levels are reached), Plant Based Proteins are just as effective.
Are Plant Based Proteins lactose free?
Lactose is a carbohydrate (sugar) found in diary, Plant Based Proteins are 100% lactose free. This makes them a great option for those following a lactose free diet.
Do plant based proteins contain fat?
Yes, but this varier a lot depending on the plant source.
Rice and Soy Proteins are very low in fat; however Pea Protein contains around 5 to 6% fat.
Do plant based proteins contain cholesterol?
Proteins derived from Pea, Soy, Rice and Hemp do not contain any cholesterol.
