Frequently asked questions

What does 'upcycled' mean?
Upcycling uses ingredients that are fully nutritious and safe but would otherwise have gone to waste, giving this protein a significantly lower carbon, land and water footprint than many other proteins — sustainability without sacrificing quality.*

How does it compare to whey?
It matches whey's digestibility speed, making it a fast-digesting plant option, and it dissolves well with a smooth, silky texture and no bitter aftertaste — qualities plant proteins often lack.*

How do I use protein powder?
Mix a scoop into water, milk or your favorite beverage, or blend it into a smoothie, once daily or as your goals require. It's an easy way to add sustainable plant protein to your day to support muscle building and recovery alongside training.*
