Plant Protein Powder

About Plant Protein Powder

Plant Protein Powders are derived from plant-based whole-food source, including legumes and grains. Pea and rice protein are two of the most popular, though faba bean protein is rising in popularity as production ramps up in Australia. Sacha inchi seed, chia seed, pumpkin seed and even watermelon seed proteins are often used in plant protein formulations. The Sporty's Health range of plant protein powders are free from animal products, including whey, casein, collgen and egg ingredients.

Pea Protein is one of the highest quality vegan proteins due to its naturally high level of essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Pea protein has the closest amino acid profile to whey protein for a single-sourced plant-based protein. Scientific research is confirming this with the publication of some fascinating research in recent years, indicating that the benefits to human health, body composition and performance are similar to whey protein.

Plant Protein Powders promote an alkaline pH, helping to reduce systemic acidity. All animal-sourced protein powders are acidic by nature and tend to reduce blood pH with every protein shake. Plant Protein Powders deliver all the amino acids we need to survive and thrive in a pleasant tasting powder that can be mixed with water or nut milk. They taste amazing in smoothies with whole foods, such as banana, berries, Non-GMO sunflower lecithin powder or coconut yoghurt.

30 years ago, there was a limited range of plant protein powders available. As more people become aware of the importance of holistic health and plant-based diets, research and development has been booming in these areas. This has lead to the release of quality products that are delicious and offer a smooth texture when mixed in water.
