Plant Based Protein That's Functional.PROTEIN

SERVINGS
NZ Protein's faba bean protein isolate powder is a newer plant based protein that's more pleasant than some other types of plant proteins, and it makes a good alternative to pea.
It's clean tasting and has less gritiness that's often associated with plant proteins.
Faba bean is high in protein (85% - unflavoured) and is a complete protein with a good amino acid profile. That means it's suitable for muscle growth and development and is comparable to other high quality sources of protein.
Like with other plant proteins, faba bean is vegan, GMO free, and naturally free of dairy, gluten, soy, and other allergens*.
Lastly, and perhaps most interestingly, it's functional. That means faba bean is likely to perform better in recipes and baking applications. It's heat stable too so works well in soups and casseroles.
Directions
Faba bean protein isolate has more of a neutral taste than other plant proteins. The texture is cleaner and not so grainy. It blends easily into other foods and with other flavours.
Faba bean is formulated to mix with water, but other liquids (such as almond milk and yoghurt) can be used. It mixes slightly thicker than whey but not as thick as pea protein.
Each sachet contains one serving (31.25g). Add the entire sachet to 300-400ml of water or your favourite milk in a shaker or blender. Blend with fruit to make it into a smoothie or bake it into cafes, muffins or biscuits.

Wish there were more flavour options but happy with the choc and banana. Will try orange next.
Keeps me full and well-fed.
No insulin spikes like from whey protein, so I've lost a few more pure fat pounds while using your plant based proteins. Good choice for people who wants to loose weight. You will never achieve such results while using whey protein.
I tried the banana and choc flavours, both great!
I really really hope more flavours in Faba Bean keep coming out. I'd probably buy them all.
Faba bean is just amazing! It ticks all the boxes for me (creamy smooth texture, great flavour, mixes really well in a smoothie and so gentle on my stomach) I have it multiple times a day, everyday! Thank you NZ Protein for making this available.

Test Reports
Here at NZProtein we always strive to be the best at what we do. We invest heavily in research and development to have innovative products and the best flavours.
We stand firmly behind our products so we have commenced periodic batch testing of products by independent third party laboratories. These test reports will provide further evidence of the standards we adhere to.
Please note that we will not be able to test every flavour due to the costs - there are simply too many flavours and various batches manufactured. For example, in the NZ Whey alone we have over 20 flavours, so it is not practicable to test every flavour in every batch but we will periodically submit samples in various flavours for analysis.
