Customers praised this fava bean protein for its "smooth and creamy" texture and great taste across flavors like salted caramel and banana bread. Many noted it "mixes really well" and is "gentle on my stomach" compared to whey or pea protein. Some found vanilla flavor too sweet or artificial. Minor concerns about packaging recyclability and sucralose content were mentioned.

  • Best protein powder for protein drinks. Fava bean is smooth as.
  • Lovely smooth texture, easy to mix and has none of the unpleasant aftertaste.
  • It's gentle on my stomach which is very important. Tastes good and it's sooo creamy.

easily the best alternative protein

As a whey consumer, bought a bag of this for my lactose sensitive partner. We gave it a try and it's genuinely amazing. Will probably switch myself. Mixes super smooth and the flavour is on point. HOWEVER! The provided scoop is way too big so when it specifies "2 scoops" as 25g and 100cal it's way out, EACH scoop is ~20 grams so you're using way more product than you think (possibly on purpose? Would hope not) but also throws out your calorie counts for tracking

Best protein powder yet !

I’ve tried a lot of protein powders over a lengthy period of time. But I will only be purchasing this one from now on. It’s gentle on my stomach which is very important. But it tastes good and it’s sooo creamy.

So smooth

This has been the easiest shaking/smoothest protein powder I've had yet, and I love how it doesn't upset the gut like whey. I've had chocolate and banana bread so far. Banana bread is definately superior to chocolate, interested to try the other flavours next time. Would definately recommend, especially over pea protein if you're looking for a smooth vegan option

I got vanilla and it’s a very very strong artificial kind of vanilla flavour which I don’t love. Great texture though and good to mix with things

FAVA bean protein

I bought it because according to the review the taste was very good but honestly I didn't like it, not because of the taste but the odour. I give it a try and used it to cook panqueques and love it. It was my first time trying a plant based protein and maybe my expectations were to high but after cooking with it I would recommend

THE BEST!!!

This has been a game changer. I have struggled to find a protein powder that I like enough to stick to, in taste and texture. This range, my whole family enjoys. Our favorite flavors are salted caramel and banana bread, chocolate is a really good too. Vanilla is probably our least fave but great for smoothies as a plain base

Bought this fava bean protein as my usual brand was out of stock -and I shan’t be going back. This has a lovely smooth texture, is easy to mix and has none of the unpleasant aftertaste often associated with added sweeteners. I would absolutely recommend it.

FAQs

Fava bean protein comes from the broad bean (Vicia faba). The beans are milled and processed to concentrate the protein while reducing carbs and starch. The result? A smooth, plant-based powder packed with essential amino acids (the building blocks of your body!). It’s naturally free from dairy, soy, and gluten, so it’s a great choice for almost any diet.

Fava bean protein supports muscle growth, recovery, and satiety thanks to its high-quality amino acid profile. It also contains dietary fibre, which can promote digestive health and help regulate blood sugar. Being naturally free from common allergens like dairy and soy, it’s gentle on sensitive stomachs.

Fava bean vs whey:
Whey protein is a fast-digesting, dairy-derived protein made from the liquid by-product of cheese production. Fava bean protein offers a plant-based alternative with a balanced amino acid profile, is naturally higher in fibre, and supports healthy digestion. While whey contains slightly more leucine and is absorbed faster (making it a classic post-workout choice), fava bean protein provides a steadier amino acid release and is gentler on sensitive stomachs.

Whey has a naturally creamy texture. The same can be said for the smooth texture of fava bean smooth protein, which many other plant proteins lack. Both protein types can effectively support muscle growth and recovery if you meet your daily protein needs. The best choice comes down to dietary preferences, digestion comfort, and whether you value the extra fibre boost.

Fava bean vs pea:
Fava bean protein stacks up well against pea protein in both nutrition and performance. It has a more balanced amino acid profile, with higher methionine and cysteine levels—two amino acids pea protein can be low in.

Texture-wise, fava bean protein is smoother and less gritty, with a lighter flavour that blends easily into shakes or baking. While both are great plant-based options, fava bean protein tends to feel less heavy, mix more easily, and offer a cleaner taste, making it a favourite for people who want both performance and an enjoyable drinking experience.

Both work well! Post-workout, fava bean protein delivers the amino acids your muscles need to repair and grow. Taken before training, it can help keep energy levels steady and protect against muscle breakdown. It’s versatile too: blend it into smoothies, stir it into oats, or add it to baking for an easy protein boost. Aim for around 20–30g per serve to stay on track with your daily protein needs.

Our fava beans are made from sustainably-sourced Australian fava beans and expertly blended in New Zealand

Yes, they’re the same thing! “Fava” is more common in American English, while “Faba” matches the plant’s botanical name (Vicia faba). Both mean broad beans, and both give you the exact same protein goodness!

Baking won’t ruin your protein gains! Normal baking or cooking temperatures don’t significantly damage the amino acids your muscles need. Even though extreme, prolonged heat (well above standard baking times) can slightly reduce certain amino acids like lysine, the effect is tiny and won’t affect overall muscle-building potential.

So go ahead, add it to pancakes, muffins, or savoury bakes for an easy protein boost! Just remember that adding lots of sugar or fat to recipes might offset the health benefits you're looking for, so pair it with wholesome ingredients for the best results.
