What customers say
★★★★★ 4.94 average · 913 reviews★★★★★“Great tasting and quality [plant] protein.”
★★★★★“Loved the taste and thickness of powder as a shake. Will be adding it to my oats in the morning as well!”
★★★★☆“I am not really a fan of protein powder, but the texture was good. The Salted Caramel is ok. The Vanilla I mixed with Milo and it was quite nice. The chocolate sample I had was not to my liking. To be fair, I don’t usually like any of the chocolate protein powders.”
★★★★★“The chocolate is definitely my favourite as I don’t have a sweet tooth. I use the protein powder as a top up or a quick boost when I feel I need to hit my protein goals.”

How to work out price per serve
Tub prices are hard to compare because serve sizes and tub sizes differ. Divide the price by the number of serves, then compare the protein you get in each serve.
| Green Choice option | Price | Serves | Per serve |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1kg pouch | $69.99 | 20 | About $3.50 |
| 2 × 1kg bundle | $134.99 | 40 | About $3.37 |
| 3 × 1kg bundle | $199.99 | 60 | About $3.33 |
For competitor prices, check each brand's current pricing yourself. Our price comparison and direct vs in-store guide explain how to compare.
Who Green Choice might not suit
We'd rather you buy the right product than the wrong one. Green Choice may not be the right fit if you:
- Have a pea or legume allergy. Our powders contain pea.
- Need a powder with no added sugar or sweetener. Ours contain cane sugar and stevia.
- Want an unflavoured powder. We currently offer Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel.
- Have a severe milk, soy, gluten or egg allergy. Our powders are made in a facility that also processes these.
- Have a medical condition or restricted-protein diet. Speak to your doctor or an accredited practising dietitian first.
Not sure what's right for you? Read our guides to plant protein powder and pea protein, or the broader vegan protein powder guide.

Best vegan protein powder FAQs
What is the best vegan protein powder in Australia?
There isn't one best for everyone. Look for high protein per 100g, a blend of sources, a short ingredient list, clear origin wording and a taste you enjoy. Use the sample pack route to test before buying a full tub.
How do I choose a vegan protein powder?
Start with your priority, such as taste, price, sugar, simple ingredients or local manufacturing, then compare protein per 100g, price per serve and the ingredient list. The table above shows how.
Is Australian-made vegan protein powder better?
Not automatically. Quality depends on ingredients and manufacturing. Check origin wording for specifics. Green Choice is made in Victoria with at least 84% Australian ingredients.
Is vegan protein as good as whey?
For muscle building, research suggests plant protein is comparable to whey when total daily protein is matched. Whey is higher in leucine and usually smoother, while vegan protein is dairy free and lactose free.
How much protein should a vegan protein powder have?
Many powders provide 20g to 30g or more per serve. Compare protein per 100g, because serve sizes differ. Ours is about 70g per 100g, or 34.9g per 50g serve.
Do vegan protein powders taste chalky?
Taste and texture vary by brand and by person. A sample pack is the easiest way to find out. Read our guide on chocolate protein for people who hate chalky texture.
Are your protein powders gluten free and dairy free?
Yes. They contain pea and are made in a facility that also processes milk, soy, gluten and egg, so speak to your doctor if you have a severe allergy. See our gluten-free range.
Is Green Choice the best vegan protein powder?
We make it, so we're biased. We think it's a good fit for people who want high protein, no gums or thickeners, and Australian manufacturing. Try the $9.99 sample pack and decide for yourself.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location, and orders over $150 ship free. Orders are usually dispatched via Australia Post within 1–3 business days. See our shipping policy.
Can I try it before buying a full pouch?
Yes. The 3-flavour sample pack costs $9.99 and includes Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel.
