Plant Based Protein: buying guide
How to choose a plant protein
- Blends are best: combining pea and rice protein gives a fuller amino acid profile than a single plant source.
- Protein per serve: plant proteins often have slightly larger scoops for the same protein, so compare grams of protein, not scoops.
- Texture: plant proteins are thicker and earthier than whey. Chocolate and vanilla flavours are popular first choices.
- Allergens: check for soy, gluten or nuts if you need to avoid them.
Plant protein or whey?
If you eat dairy without problems, whey protein is usually cheaper per gram of protein and mixes thinner. If you are vegan, lactose intolerant or simply prefer plant foods, a plant blend does the same job of topping up your daily protein. See all protein powders.
Order online with Australia-wide delivery, free on orders of $100 or more, or visit a Supps247 store in Melbourne, regional Victoria or Brisbane to compare tubs in person and taste flavours before you buy. Members can use our price match guarantee on full-priced items.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take regular medication, check with your doctor first.
Plant Based Protein: questions and answers
Is plant protein as good as whey?
Well-formulated plant blends, such as pea and rice together, provide all the essential amino acids. You may need a slightly larger serve to match the leucine in whey, so follow the label and compare protein per serve.
Is plant-based protein dairy free?
Plant proteins are made without milk ingredients, but always check the allergen statement for "may contain" warnings if you have a severe allergy.
Why is my plant protein shake thick?
Plant proteins absorb more liquid than whey. Add a little more water or milk alternative and shake for longer, or blend it with ice.
Where can I buy vegan protein in Melbourne or online?
Supps247 sells vegan protein online with delivery Australia-wide, usually in 2 to 8 business days, and in 18 stores including Reservoir, Carnegie, Tarneit, Rosebud and Chapel Street, South Yarra. Popular tubs include Rapid Vegan Plant Protein, Rule One Plant Protein Vegan, GHOST Vegan Plant-Based Protein, Redcon1 Green Beret and Plant Protein by Greenback. Stock and flavours vary by store, so check the product page or call before you travel, or order online with free shipping on orders of $99.99 or more. Find your nearest store.
Which dairy free protein powders do you stock?
All the protein powders in this range are plant based. For example, Rapid Vegan Plant Protein blends organic pea and brown rice protein with pumpkin, watermelon and sunflower seed proteins. Rule One Plant Protein Vegan uses pea and three seed proteins for 20 g of protein per scoop, Redcon1 Green Beret is a pea protein with 20 g per serve, and Honest to Goodness Organic Sprouted Pea Protein is made from sprouted peas. Beef protein isolates, made from beef rather than milk, are another option in our beef protein range. If you have a milk allergy, always read the allergen and may-contain statements.
What are the benefits of vegan protein powder?
The main benefit is an easy serve of protein with no milk ingredients, which suits vegans, people with lactose intolerance and anyone else avoiding dairy. Blends are worth choosing: the Australian Institute of Sport says plant proteins usually carry fewer essential amino acids, but mixing sources or using a bigger serve helps close the gap. Rapid Vegan Plant Protein combines pea, brown rice and three seed proteins for 23.3 g of protein per 30 g scoop, with under 1 g of carbohydrate. It is still a convenience food, so meals should do most of the work.
How should a beginner take vegan protein powder?
Start with one scoop a day. Shake it with 240 to 300 mL of water or plant milk, the amount Rule 1 suggests for Rule One Plant Protein, or blend it into a smoothie or stir it through oats. After training, at breakfast or as an afternoon snack all work, because the ISSN says the best timing is largely a matter of what suits you. It suggests 20 to 40 g of protein per serve, so larger people may want one and a half scoops, which matches the upper end of Rapid's guide for its vegan protein.
Is vegan protein powder safe?
For most healthy adults it is a food like any other protein powder, but a few checks help. The Australian Institute of Sport notes that concentrated protein powders can pick up contaminants such as heavy metals from where ingredients are grown or processed, and suggests sticking to one or two serves a day. Check allergens too: Rapid Vegan is made on a line that also handles gluten, soy, egg, nuts and seeds, and its Chocolate flavour lists 411 mg of sodium per scoop. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, a teenager or take medication, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.
Is there a vegan protein powder for women or for men?
The same tub works for both. Protein needs follow body size and training rather than gender. Healthdirect lists general adult needs of about 37 to 46 g a day for women and 52 to 64 g for men aged 19 to 70, and people who train need more. A smaller woman might use one scoop of Rule One Plant Protein for 20 g of protein, while a bigger, very active man might add a second shake later in the day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP before adding a protein powder.
Do you have a soy free protein powder?
Yes. Neither Rapid Vegan Plant Protein nor Rule One Plant Protein lists soy in its ingredients. Rapid uses pea, brown rice, pumpkin, watermelon and sunflower proteins, and Rule One uses pea, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and watermelon seed protein. Rapid is made on a line that also handles soy, so if you have a soy allergy, read the may-contain statement on the tub. It is worth checking whey tubs too, because many of them use soy lecithin as an emulsifier.
Which vegan protein tastes best, and can I find one near me?
Taste is personal, so it helps to start small. Rapid Vegan comes in a 450 g tub as well as 1 kg, in flavours such as Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Choc Brownie and Peanut Butter. GHOST Vegan Protein goes for dessert-style flavours like Chocolate Cereal Milk and Pancake Batter. Plant shakes taste creamier made with plant milk than with water.
