100% Pea Protein Isolate
Pea Protein Isolate is a natural vegetable protein derived from peas. It's considered one of the best plant based protein sources for vegans and vegetarians due to its balanced amino acid spread and high protein concentration.
A vegan friendly, natural plant based protein powder
Bulk Nutrients' Pea Protein Isolate is derived from yellow peas and is made from 100% GMO free peas. Offers a great plant based option for those after a dairy alternative, so is totally dairy, lactose, and GMO free, and Pea Protein does not naturally contain any gluten. Pea Protein is certified vegan by Vegan Australia.
The amino acid spectrum is similar to whey and breast milk and it is considered one of the best plant based protein sources for both muscle growth and recovery.
Low in carbs but high in protein
Pea Protein Isolate from Bulk Nutrients averages at 85% protein and contains less than 5.5% of carbohydrates. The highest grade of Monk Fruit and Stevia are used as all natural sweeteners to reduce bitterness and the final ingredient is 100% natural flavours.
Great for sensitive stomachs
Pea Protein Isolate is free from common allergens such as lactose and soy, so it is an ideal protein for people with food intolerances.
Taste, texture and mixability
Bulk Nutrients' Pea Protein Isolate has a smooth texture, mixes well and produces a slightly thicker than normal shake.
It's also perfect to add to a smoothie or shake with fresh fruits like berries and bananas or immune-boosting yoghurt.
Combining with other proteins
Pea Protein Isolate is often combined with Rice Protein Isolate to achieve a superior amino acid profile than either protein alone.
Pea Protein Isolate is low in the sulfurous amino acids (cysteine and methionine) but rich in lysine; in contrast, Rice Protein Isolate is low in lysine but has high levels of both cysteine and methionine. The combination of Rice and Pea Protein Isolate also helps mitigate the strong, chalky taste of Rice Protein on its own.
This combination is considered by many to be among the best tasting protein powders and we have combined them optimally in our popular Earth Protein product.

Pea Protein FAQs
How is Pea Protein made?
Pea Protein starts with split, yellow peas. In the first step the shell is removed before the peas are milled. Water is then added, where the fibre and starch are removed. The next process involves heat and precipitation, eventually the result is a purified powder with minimal moisture.
Why is Pea Protein ideal?
- Pea Protein has a thorough amino acid spread so is suitable for building muscle and aiding recovery.
- Pea Protein is non-allergenic, which means it is suitable for people sensitive to allergies.
- Pea Protein contains over 80% protein in raw form, with 20% of the amino acids as BCAAs.
- It contains virtually no carbohydrates and 8% healthy fats. This may seem high; however, many people see the healthy fat level as an advantage.
Is Pea Protein good for building muscle?
Yes, it contains a thorough spread of amino acids and relatively high levels of Branched Chain and Essential Amino Acids. It has a digestibility level of 94% which means less stress on the stomach due to malabsorption and less wasted protein. Its best feature is Arginine levels which are much higher than Whey Protein.
Is Pea Protein good for weight loss?
Pea Protein has some benefits for people wanting to lose weight. It has a thick consistency, which can aid satiety (feeling of fullness) and came only second to casein in a 2011 study which looked at its effect on appetite. The carbohydrates present are complex, which means they will have a smaller effect on blood sugar levels.
Is Pea Protein lactose free?
Yes, as Pea Protein is a plant protein source it does not contain lactose.
Is Pea Protein gluten free?
Pea Protein naturally contains no gluten, but we do process other ingredients in our facility that contain gluten.
