What customers say
★★★★★ 4.94 average · 913 reviews★★★★★“Great produce fantastic taste.”
★★★★★“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.”

Organic, natural, clean, Australian made: what's the difference?
Food labels use several similar-sounding words. They don't mean the same thing.
| Term | What it generally means | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Certified organic | Grown and processed to an organic standard, audited by a certifying body. Typically means no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. | Look for the certifier's logo and licence number on the pack |
| "Organic" with no certification | In Australia, the word isn't tightly regulated for domestic products, though misleading claims can breach consumer law. A voluntary Australian Standard (AS 6000) exists. | Ask which ingredients are organic and who certified them |
| "Natural" | No set legal meaning | Read the ingredient list instead |
| "Clean" | A marketing term with no set meaning | Check for gums, artificial colours and flavours, and added sugar |
| Australian made | About where the crop was grown, not how | Look for specific origin wording and percentages |
| Vegan | No animal-derived ingredients | Says nothing about organic or pesticide use |

Organic plant protein powder FAQs
Is Green Choice organic?
We don't claim certified organic status for Green Choice. It's made from Australian-made pea, faba and rice protein, with a short ingredient list, no gums or thickeners and no artificial colours or flavours.
What does organic protein powder mean?
It usually means the ingredients were grown and processed to an organic standard and certified by an independent body. Look for the certifier's logo and licence number.
Is organic protein powder healthier?
Not necessarily. Organic describes how ingredients are grown, not the protein, sugar or additive content. Compare the nutrition panel and ingredient list.
Is organic plant protein powder more expensive?
Often, because organic ingredients and certification cost more. Compare price per serve and protein per 100g.
Is Australian-made the same as organic?
No. Australian-made describes where a crop was grown, not how. See our guide to Australian plant proteins.
What should I look for if I want organic?
A certifier's logo and licence number, a clear statement of which ingredients are organic, and a short ingredient list.
Is it gluten free and dairy free?
Yes. It contains pea and is made in a facility that also processes milk, soy, gluten and egg, so speak to your doctor if you have a severe allergy.
