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.”

What to watch for with "free sample" offers
Not every free offer is what it seems. Before you enter your details, check the following:
- Shipping fees. Some "free" samples charge postage that costs more than the sample is worth.
- Subscriptions and recurring charges. Read the terms to see if you're signing up for automatic orders.
- Card details for a free item. Be cautious if a free trial asks for payment details and the cancellation terms are unclear.
- Who's offering it. Stick to brand websites and trusted retailers.
- Your personal data. Check how your details will be used.
If an offer looks too good to be true, Scamwatch (run by the ACCC) has advice on spotting scams. For our own approach to trying products, read how to pick a flavour without wasting $70.
