Faba bean protein is the new up and coming plant-based protein on the market. It has many defining qualities that make it stand out from the crowd. Our faba beans are farmed locally in Northern Victoria, Australia.
Faba beans are one of the most sustainable plants to grow. They were first grown commercially in South Australia, and are now cultivated all around the country. They are a ‘nitrogen fixing’ plant, meaning they return nitrogen to the soil while growing, fertilising the soil and improving the quality of future crops.
Protein powder made from faba beans has zero saturated fats, it is also high in fibre, amino acids, antioxidants, and iron. While any plant-based protein powder definitely has more positive benefits than normal whey protein, faba beans are known to be the best of the best. One of the main things that makes faba beans stand out from the crowd is its high levels of protein. Protein is essential for not only exercising but a healthy balanced diet in general. Protein helps repair and strengthen muscles in the body, and gives you lasting energy throughout the day. Faba beans contain a lot of micro-nutrients that may be lacking in a lot of vegan diets, so our protein powder will help make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need.
Faba beans have a mild, neutral flavour, which makes it easy to mix into anything in your daily eating routine. Protein powder made from faba beans is less grainy in texture giving a silky smooth feel compared to other plant-based supplements like soy, pea, and rice proteins. To top it off, faba beans are naturally gluten-free and hypoallergenic.
So, if you’re looking for a plant-based alternative to your standard whey protein powder, or, you’re wanting to find something more lightweight that you can mix in with your breakfast that won’t overpower the flavours, look no further than our magic faba beans! We have a wide range of delicious protein powders to choose from, as well as wellness boosters and protein bars.
