Ah, the million dollar question. Let us try persuade you. See many vegan and plant based protein powers are often grainy in texture, overly expensive, and poor tasting. This is the exact reason we developed Awesome Protein: because we felt there were no options that tasted AWESOME, and we believed it didn’t have to be this way. We worked hard to get rid of the grainy pea texture and made it taste awesome, brought through just the right amount of sweetness, and made it taste truly indulgent and enjoyable. And we think we've really nailed it. This is why its a multi-award winning product at the FSN and Nourish Awards, and has been featured in The Independent, The Telegraph, Daily Mail and The Sun.

Use it after training, with breakfast, between meals, in smoothies, oats or whenever your protein intake is low. Total daily protein intake matters more than exact timing.

Some people find plant protein easier to tolerate than whey, particularly if they are sensitive to dairy or lactose. Individual tolerance varies, but a dairy-free blend can be a useful option.

Whey is a high-quality protein, but it is not the only effective option. Research suggests that well-dosed plant proteins can support similar training adaptations when total protein intake is matched. The important factors are total protein intake, essential amino acid profile, leucine content and consistency.

No. It is suitable for vegans, but it is not only for vegans. It is also useful for anyone who wants a dairy-free protein powder, struggles with whey, wants to reduce animal protein intake, or simply wants a complete plant-based protein that fits their routine.

Pea and rice protein complement each other. Pea is rich in lysine but relatively lower in methionine, while rice helps improve the sulphur-containing amino acid profile. Together, they create a more complete plant-based protein blend.

Yes. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Awesome Protein is designed to help you increase daily protein intake in a convenient, dairy-free way.

While our protein powder is a fantastic source of protein, which is necessary for tissue growth and repair, each serving is low in carbohydrate and fat, thus low in calories on its own. Blending it with high calorie foods like nut butters and oats is a fantastic way to bump up your daily calorie intake and help you gain weight. Liquid calories are less filling than solid food calories, and so drinking a high calorie smoothie is the perfect weight-gain tool for those with a lower appetite. Overall, it can help, of course, but please ensure your overall calorie intake is set up correctly for optimal results, and you are eating a balanced diet.

This product is high in protein (so it helps promote satiety) and is low calorie. No supplement can cause weight loss on its own, but this product can certainly help you achieve the calorie deficit necessary to reach that goal, but it is not a weight loss product no (which we don't sell any of, because we don't agree with this line of thinking - weight loss should come from healthy nutrition, exercise and lifestyle change).

No. Awesome Protein is a protein powder designed to supplement your diet, not replace a balanced meal.

Awesome Protein is perfectly safe and AWESOME for cooking. Neither the protein content nor the flavour will be negatively affected. It's actually, behind being used as a shake, the primary thing people do with our protein, because it makes recipes taste so good. Check out our recipe section for inspiration.

Your use of milk, milk substitute, or water, and the precise amount, is individual. We recommend you stick to 200-400ml of liquid per serving, and do pay attention to the additional calories if you opt for something other than water. Milk or milk substitute will provide an improved flavour, water will reduce calories – the decision is yours, but we designed ALL of our protein powders to taste awesome with water, so don’t think you need to use milk to make our products taste good, you don’t.

Yes. We achieved this by combining organic pea and rice protein.

Yes, they do, but only about 4.5mg of caffeine, approximately 1/5 of the amount needed to affect a caffeine sensitive person. So, in short, its a negligible amount and shouldn’t affect your mood or sleep in any way.

Currently the full body of evidence for the safety of sucralose indicates that it is perfectly safe to consume. Customers regularly ask why not use stevia? This is because stevia, in our opinion, tastes awful, and that’s not what we want! Some individuals with IBS can get irritation from some sweeteners, so be mindful if this is you. Read the most up to date research on sucralose from Examine.com.

Yes, there is no reason you can’t make up some of your protein intake using Awesome Protein during pregnancy/breastfeeding, unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

Plant-based proteins generally have a lower environmental footprint than dairy proteins, particularly for greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water demand. Awesome Protein gives customers a practical way to reduce reliance on dairy protein without overhauling their whole diet.
