Why fava bean protein

Plenty of vegan proteins start from pea or rice. This one starts somewhere else: fava bean protein isolate. Fava beans — broad beans, Vicia faba — are a long-established field crop, and "isolate" means here what it means on a whey tub, that the protein fraction has been separated out from the starch, fiber and fat of the bean.

Fermented nutritional yeast protein

The second protein is YESTEIN™, a fermented nutritional yeast protein. Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast — the same savory flakes people shake over popcorn and pasta — and here it's been fermented and processed into a protein ingredient rather than a seasoning. Pairing it with fava spreads the protein across two different sources instead of leaning the whole 21 g on one.

How it tastes and mixes

Two cocoa powders do the work rather than one: Nidau Cocoa Powder and Nightfall Black Cocoa Powder, as the ingredient list names them. Sea salt and natural flavor sit alongside them. Sunflower lecithin is on the list to help the powder disperse instead of clumping on the surface. Mix two scoops with 6-8 oz of water or your favorite beverage, as the label directs. The panel lists 1 g of total sugars a serving, and stevia extract (leaf) is the only sweetener on it.

Who it's for

Anyone eating plant-based who still wants 21 g of protein in a glass, anyone off dairy looking for a chocolate protein shake, and anyone who wants a chocolate powder with no gluten and no animal ingredients in it at all. At 4 g of carbohydrate a serving it fits a low-carb day, and at 110 calories it's an easy addition to breakfast rather than a replacement for it.

How to use it

As a dietary supplement, adults mix two (2) scoops with 6-8 oz (177-237 ml) of water or favorite beverage daily. For best results, take 20-30 minutes before a meal with 8 oz (237ml) of water or as directed by your healthcare professional.
