NoWhey Plant Protein 1kg
Plant protein, no frills — around 22g per serve
Single-source pea protein isolate. NoWhey Plant Protein is a NZ-made, 100% plant-based protein built on one ingredient that does the work — Canadian yellow-pea isolate — for around 22g of dairy-free protein and 0g of sugar in every 30g serve. No blends, no fillers, no premium price tag.
- Around 22g of plant protein per serve — single-source pea isolate, independently verified at 22.2g/serve by Eurofins.
- A complete plant protein — supplies all nine essential amino acids, including the BCAAs that support muscle protein synthesis.
- 0g sugar, low-carb, dairy-free — vegan formula with no dairy, soy, gluten or filler ingredients.
- Made in New Zealand — produced under GMP manufacturing standards and Eurofins lab-tested for protein and heavy metals.
- No-frills value — premium pea isolate without the organic-grocery markup.
Why pea isolate
Most plant proteins are blends. Pea, rice, hemp and seed proteins are often mixed together to patch each other's gaps — which can mean inconsistent protein per serve and a long, busy ingredient list.
NoWhey keeps it to one protein. We use pea protein isolate from Canadian yellow peas — the isolation process strips out most of the fibre and starch, so what's left is mostly protein. That delivers around 22g per 30g serve while keeping carbs and fat low, and it mixes clean in water or plant milk.
A complete amino profile. Pea protein supplies all nine essential amino acids, including the branched-chain aminos (leucine, isoleucine and valine) that support muscle protein synthesis after training. Like most legumes it is naturally a little lower in methionine than whey — easy to round out across a varied daily diet.
Verified, not just claimed. Each batch direction is simple and the protein content is independently lab-tested in New Zealand by Eurofins — 22.2g of protein per serve confirmed, alongside heavy-metal screening. What's on the label is what's in the bag.
What's inside
Per 30g serve (about 2 heaped tablespoons). Full per-flavour panels are on the Nutrition Information tab. Chocolate carries a touch of cocoa, so its numbers differ slightly from the unflavoured base.

| Energy | 512 kJ | 513 kJ |
| Protein | 22.4 g | 23.1 g |
| Fat, total | 1.9 g | 2.8 g |

Ingredients. Pea Protein Isolate, Natural Flavour, Sweetener (Sucralose). Chocolate also contains Cocoa Powder. Allergen: contains pea (a legume). Made with no dairy, soy or gluten ingredients; produced in a facility that also handles gluten, so labelled gluten-friendly rather than certified gluten-free.
How to use
- Mix one serve. Add 30g (about 2 heaped tablespoons) to 220ml of cold water or plant milk.
- Shake 10–15 seconds. Shake well and drink soon after mixing for the smoothest texture.
- Time it to your goal. A serve after training or between meals helps top up daily protein.
- Blend it up. Try it with ice, banana and oat milk for a thicker shake.
Who it's for

What customers say
"Dissolves with water in the shaker really well. No chalky mouth-feel like with some other pea-based proteins. The protein quantity is the same as my husband's expensive protein powder."
— Tamarah, Vanilla · Verified Buyer"My favourite plant protein — the only one I've found that isn't overbearingly loaded with artificial sweetener. I've tried the banana, strawberry and chocolate and love them all."
— Penny, Chocolate · Verified Buyer"Blended up with oat milk, ice, banana and peanut butter is divine. No weird fake-sugar taste."
— Nina, Salted Caramel · Verified Buyer"Best value plant protein I have found, and the chocolate flavour is great."
— Andrew, Chocolate · Verified BuyerFAQ
Is NoWhey Plant Protein a complete protein, and how much BCAA does it have?
Yes — pea protein supplies all nine essential amino acids, so it counts as a complete plant protein. It is naturally rich in the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) that support muscle protein synthesis, though, like most legumes, it sits a little lower in methionine than whey. A varied daily diet rounds that out easily.
Is it vegan and dairy-free?
Yes. The formula is 100% plant-based and made with no dairy or whey ingredients, so it suits vegans and anyone avoiding dairy. The ingredients are simply pea protein isolate, natural flavour and a touch of sucralose — plus cocoa in the chocolate. The only allergen declared is pea, which is a legume.
Is it gluten-free?
Pea protein has no gluten-containing ingredients, so the recipe itself is gluten-free. Because it's produced in a facility that also handles gluten, we label it gluten-friendly rather than certified gluten-free. If you're coeliac and need a certified product, this isn't the right choice for you.
How is the protein content tested?
The protein is independently lab-tested in New Zealand by Eurofins, an accredited testing lab. Testing confirmed 22.2g of protein per 30g serve and screened for heavy metals, so the figure on the label is verified rather than estimated. This keeps what's in the bag honest, batch to batch.
How do I mix it and how many serves are in a bag?
Add 30g — about two heaped tablespoons — to 220ml of cold water or plant milk and shake for 10 to 15 seconds. It mixes clean without a chalky finish; blending with ice and fruit makes a thicker shake. Each 1kg bag holds about 33 serves.
Is this a weight-loss product?
No. NoWhey Plant Protein is a high-protein food supplement for topping up daily protein around training and meals — not a meal replacement or weight-loss product. Use it alongside a balanced diet that suits your own goals and activity level.
