Protein supports muscle repair, keeps you full between meals, and becomes more important as you age. Supplementing fills the gap on days when meals don't cut it, and the format you choose (powder, bar, or both) usually comes down to your routine rather than your goals.
Clean Nutrition's protein supplement range covers whey protein powder, fava bean protein powder, pea protein powder, and protein bars. Whey powder and bars suit post-workout use well, given its fast absorption and high protein per serve. The plant-based powders are a solid pick for anyone avoiding dairy, and fava bean in particular has a texture that stands apart from most plant proteins on the market.
If you're new to protein supplements, 3 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Protein is a useful starting point. For anyone in their 40s or older, Why Protein Matters Even More As You Age explains why your requirements shift over time. And if you're weighing up the fava bean option, What Makes Fava Bean Plant Protein Different is worth a read before you decide.
Everything in the range is NZ-made, with short ingredient lists and no fillers.
FAQs
Whey protein is derived from milk and is quickly absorbed, making it a great option for muscle recovery. Plant proteins like pea and fava bean are dairy-free and suit those with lactose intolerance or plant-based diets. Both whey and plant based proteins are effective protein sources if your goal is to increase protein intake to build muscle, lose weight, or maintain good general health.
Clean Nutrition's fava bean protein is worth considering if texture has put you off plant proteins before. Learn why in our blog The Non-Gritty Plant Protein: Why Fava Bean Is Smoother .
Protein powder can support weight loss. Protein is more satiating than carbohydrates or fat, so getting enough of it each day can help manage hunger and preserve muscle while in a calorie deficit. Protein powder is a tool, not a solution on its own
We think they're among the best available in NZ. The whey is sourced from NZ grass-fed cows, the plant proteins are smooth and provide a good dose of protein per serve, and every formula is filler-free. Sweeteners are kept minimal across the range, and the flavours are developed to actually taste good, not just be tolerable. Everything is NZ-made, honestly priced, and the ingredient lists are short enough to read in under ten seconds.
Yes, Clean Nutrition's protein supplements are gluten free. As always, check the label if you have a severe intolerance or coeliac disease, since formulas can change and manufacturing environments vary.
Our protein powders are low carb, yes. All three (whey, pea, and fava bean) are low in carbohydrates and fit comfortably into a range of eating approaches, whether you're tracking macros, eating low carb, or just keeping things balanced.
The Protein Plus Bars are a different story. They carry a similar amount of protein to the powders, but with more carbs and calories. That makes them a genuinely useful energy source when you're needing pre workout fuel, out on a hike, on a long bike ride, stuck in back-to-back meetings, or just running on empty between an early gym session and a late lunch. Think of them less as a strict post-workout supplement and more as a satisfying, high-protein alternative to reaching for something worse when you need energy and protein. If you're keeping calories tight or following a strict low-carb plan, they're probably not your best bet. But if you need something filling that still brings decent protein, they do the job well.
