Plant protein powder is generally flavoured, like the Plant Protein range available from us in Kinetica, which is either in chocolate or vanilla flavour. As plant protein contains a mix of various proteins, this can alter the taste. We have worked hard to mask this so that our Plant Protein can stand shoulder to shoulder with our Whey range.

Not better, but there are some differences between the two. Plant proteins tend to be low in one or more amino acids, but when you combine plant proteins, they become complete meaning they have all essential amino acids.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. As plant-protein powders are low in one or more of the amino acids, they are not considered complete. However, by combining two plant protein such as pea and rice, this ensures that they contain all the necessary amino acids to support muscle growth.

It comes down to individual choice. It is important that the plant protein powder contains between 20g-30g of protein. Opting for a plant protein that contains a blend such as rice and pea means you will get all the amino acids required for supporting muscle growth.

Available in either Vanilla or Chocolate flavour, each 30g scoop contains 23g of protein. As leucine is an important amino acid for muscle growth, there is 2.33g of leucine per scoop in the Vanilla Plant Protein option and 2.13g in the Chocolate Plant Protein flavour
