You can't get enough protein as a vegan…
Wrong.
People go crazy for protein. But there are many misconceptions about it when it comes to being vegan. When we think of protein, most of us think of meat. And if you’re a vegan, you’ve probably heard it all before: “But surely you can’t get enough protein without eating meat?”
Well the answer is simple. You can. When devising The Health Protein, we wanted to clap back at the haters and show them how it’s done. So we’ve used a powerful combination of pea and brown rice protein. Brown rice contains all 9 essential amino acids, while pea protein is the closest plant-based protein to a complete amino acid profile. By combining both together and then enhancing it with antioxidant-rich berries and Japanese medicinal mushrooms, we give you the best-tasting, ultimate vegan protein that has your health at its heart.
Is this a meal replacement?
Our protein blends are not designed to be meal replacements, but instead as a healthy addition to a balanced diet. They’re great as a post-workout recovery aid, midday refuel - or just whenever you’re feeling peckish! If you’re looking for something filling that keeps you going until your next meal, consider blending up a protein smoothie with some healthy fruit and vegetables. Sign-up to our email newsletter and we’ll send over some recipes.
How often should I take it?
At Innermost we believe in a food-first approach. For that reason, we recommend taking The Health Protein as part of a balanced diet anytime during your day as a healthy snack to meet your protein needs. You should always aim to meet most of your nutrient needs through the food you eat but having a high-quality protein powder like The Health Protein, which contains additional ingredients to support your goals can be an efficient way to help fill gaps in your diet.
Does it have a complete amino acid profile?

When should I use the product?
Our protein blends are the perfect choice for a post-workout recovery drink or anytime during the day as a healthy snack to meet your protein needs! They can be used to make a quick nutritious shake or smoothie any time of the day, or mixed into your morning porridge or oatmeal to top up your daily protein intake. This protein blend is also versatile enough to bake into high-protein snacks, and can be consumed daily or as desired.
How long will the product last?
This depends on how often you use the product. Typically a pouch of our protein blends will last around a month. If you're using it every day and also adding it to porridge and smoothies, you may run out sooner. We have a subscription option, which saves you money and ensures you'll never run out.
What does it taste like?
All our protein blends come in creamy vanilla, smooth chocolate or summer strawberry flavours. We spent months perfecting the flavour systems to create our own completely custom flavours that you won't get anywhere else. The flavours are characterised by complex layers of vanilla, cocoa and strawberry, with subtle notes of caramel and biscuit. We only use natural flavours and you can adjust the sweetness down or up by using more or less liquid.
What sort of testing do you do?
We go over and above to ensure you get the best quality and safest products possible. We only use ingredients that have a visible supply chain, and our manufacturing facilities are approved to the highest regulatory standards. Once we receive ingredients, we batch test every single one before it gets approval to go into the manufacturing process. That isn’t technically an official requirement but it’s something that we think should be.
