Is plant protein as good as whey?
A pea-and-rice blend gives around 20 g of protein per scoop. Gram for gram it is slightly lower in leucine than whey, so aim for a slightly bigger serving or make sure your overall daily protein is high. For vegans, vegetarians and anyone avoiding dairy, it is a practical way to hit protein targets.
Other dairy-free options
If you eat meat but avoid dairy, beef protein isolate gives more protein per scoop with refreshing juice flavours.
Frequently asked questions
Is plant protein complete?
A blend of pea and rice protein provides all nine essential amino acids, which is why most vegan powders combine the two.
Is vegan protein good for building muscle?
Yes, when your total daily protein is high enough. Use a slightly larger serving than you would with whey.
