Ingredients explained
Pea protein
Provides a complete amino acid source rich in branched-chain amino acids that supply building blocks for muscle protein synthesis.
Caution: Contains naturally occurring sodium; those limiting sodium should check the Nutrition Facts.
Fava bean protein isolate
Supplies essential amino acids that contribute to muscle protein building and post-exercise recovery.
Caution: Legume-based proteins may cause digestive discomfort in some people due to fiber and fermentable components.
Brown rice protein concentrate
Adds complementary amino acids, helping round out the essential amino acid profile for muscle support.
Caution: May be gritty if not blended well; mix thoroughly for better texture.
Cocoa powder (processed with alkali)
Provides polyphenols that have antioxidant activity and contributes flavor.
Caution: Contains small amounts of caffeine-like compounds that may be stimulating for very sensitive individuals.
Steviol glycosides
Non-caloric sweeteners from stevia that provide sweetness without sugar.
Caution: High intake may taste bitter to some; adjust serving liquid volume to taste.
How they work together
Pea, fava bean, and brown rice proteins combine to supply all essential amino acids, supporting a more balanced amino acid profile than any single plant source. Cocoa adds antioxidants and flavor, while stevia provides sweetness without adding sugar.
