Vanilla Flavoured Protein Powder – Plant-Based Protein

It contains Australian-grown faba bean protein, but it isn't a single-source faba bean protein powder. Faba bean is blended with pea and rice protein, which together provide all nine essential amino acids in a smooth, non-gritty powder. If you want the benefits of faba bean protein in a ready-to-drink vanilla flavour, this is the most versatile option in our range.

On its own, unflavoured pea protein can have a mild earthy or "beany" taste. In our vegan vanilla protein powder, natural vanilla flavouring, coconut milk powder and a touch of cane sugar balance it out, so it tastes like a light, creamy vanilla rather than peas. It isn't overly sweet, which makes it an easy base for smoothies and recipes. Not sure yet? Try all three flavours in our Sample Pack.

Crumble 2 Weet-Bix into a jar, then add 30g of vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp chia seeds and 150ml plant milk. Stir until there's no dry powder left, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. In the morning, loosen with a splash of milk and top with berries. It makes about 30g of protein per serve. See the full high-protein overnight Weet-Bix recipe.

Yes. Vanilla is the easiest flavour in our range to bake with because it adds protein without overpowering other ingredients. Start by swapping around a quarter of the flour in pancakes, muffins or banana bread for protein powder, and add a little extra liquid, since plant protein absorbs more moisture than flour. Replacing all of the flour usually gives a dry, dense result.

Beyond shakes, our faba bean, pea and rice protein blend works well in protein pancakes, overnight oats and Weet-Bix, smoothie bowls, no-bake protein balls and iced protein coffee. Blend or whisk the powder with liquid first so it mixes smoothly. For step-by-step ideas, see our faba bean protein powder recipes and protein pancakes.

It depends on the brand and on crop and dairy prices, so neither is always cheaper. Plant proteins like pea and faba bean come from crops rather than dairy processing, which can keep their cost competitive. A 1kg tub of our Vanilla gives 20 serves, about $3.50 a serve, and Subscribe & Save or multi-buy discounts bring that down further. Read the full cost breakdown.

Pea protein powder on its own is relatively low in the amino acid methionine, while rice protein is richer in it. Combining pea, faba bean and rice protein gives a more balanced amino acid profile, so our vanilla protein powder provides all nine essential amino acids in each serve. The pea and faba bean protein are both Australian-grown legumes, so you get a complete plant protein from local crops.
