What is Pea Protein?
Pea Protein from THE PROTEIN WORKS™ is sourced from the finest peas and offers a natural food source for anyone following a vegan diet or looking to consume less dairy/meat food sources. It contains no added sugar and because it is dairy, wheat, gluten and lactose free, it is ideal for a wide range of people with food intolerances.
Pea Protein is one the highest grade plant based protein sources available, with over 80% pure protein content per 100g (dry basis). It naturally includes an abundance of branched chain amino acids, arginine and lysine. Its purity means it only contains 3g of carbs per serving and just 1.8g of fat. As protein shakes go, this is right up there with the best.
As this is a plant-based protein, it is important to remember that it has a very earthy taste and texture and won’t compare to a dairy protein shake for creaminess and full on taste – if that’s what you’re used to consuming. We just want to make that clear from the get-go.

Liked it better than Whey Protein. Those who have used Ovaltine or Horlicks will love this. Others can add little bit milk or yogurt to get the creamy taste like whey (that will give more protein and still less cheaper than whey).
One Tip = Best to blend it in a juicer / blender instead of shaking it in a bottle.

I was dreading the taste since I have never used any plant based protein powder before, surprisingly it’s not bad at all. Within days, my energy level has improved, I’m motivated to workout and it keeps one feeling full for longer periods of time. Great product!

This is my first time trying pea protein. Because in past I was using whey protein 80.but that has become too expensive now.
I feel like it’s not as good as whey protein 80.but after using it from past 2 week my body has adapted it well. I really don’t think this pea protein can work for all Because of it absorbsion rate.
