Plantpro — Plant-Based Protein Blend

Wholefood Ingredient

We use 100% real foods as ingredients and they are all listed clearly under the ingredient section. No alien words or chemical terms, just names of real foods grown in nature, not labs. These foods, worthy to be labelled as wholefoods, are foods close to their natural form, either unprocessed or have been processed as little as possible. 

In other words, 'chufa milk' means original milk of chufa squeezed from its raw, puréed flesh, not diluted milk with added sugar, binders, colourings or flavourings to mimic its original taste.

Better and Safer Choice Than Other Protein

Nutrient-rich and high-performance formula blend with a perfected amino acid profile for maximum protein utilisation and lean muscle building.

Does not cause acnes, bloating, cramping, constipation or diarrhoea like whey, dairy, egg and meat protein does. Does not contribute to Aminoacidemia — a condition which has been linked to diabetes — like whey protein does. Does not contribute to infertility, breast cancer, hypothyroidism, and many other conditions linked with soy protein.

Non-GMO, free of allergens, hormones, extracted or synthetic nutrients, added sugar, colourings, artificial flavourings, fillers, stabilisers, preservatives and other additives.

More Than Just Protein

Our nutritionists always say that our body needs a variety of nutrients to work optimally, as each nutrient has its roles to play, and some are dependent on other nutrients. For that reason, our Plantpro was formulated with a rather interesting wholefood — freeze-dried chufa milk.

With this special ingredient, you get natural digestive enzymes, healthy fats, dietary fibre, folate and minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium in each serving. These nutrients are essential for body building as they help fuel you longer, aid protein absorption, help maintain healthy bones and teeth and regulate muscle contractions. Did we mention it helps improve the taste and mouthfeel of our protein blend too?

Fun fact: Chufa (also known as tigernut or yellow nutsedge) are actually tubers, hence safe for people with nut allergy.

Colloid Milling Technology

How does one access the rich minerals trapped inside the tough, jagged skin of chufa? 

Colloid milling technology, which primarily works on the rotor-stator principle, grinds material through a tight, fine-toothed gap between a high-speed turning rotor and a stationary stator. The teeth of the rotor and stator will pierce into the hard shell of chufa, crushing its flesh, and releasing all its nutrients, forming into a rich, smooth and fragrant purée. Milk will then be extracted using high pressure compression applied onto the purée, before being freeze-dried into fine powder.

Freeze-Drying Technology

In contrast to cheaper conventional methods of drying which uses heat, vacuum freeze-drying is a long, expensive and highly sophisticated technology. Liquid in chufa milk is first frozen to ice in a blast-freezing chamber (-40°C in < 3 hours), before being removed through sublimation using a vacuum system.

Such advanced technology ensures the natural taste, colour, fragrance, and nutrients (enzyme, vitamins and minerals) of chufa milk are carefully preserved and sealed within. The same as drinking fresh chufa milk!

19g Protein Per Serving

Protein is the most important nutrient we need in our lives. A complete protein is comprised of 20 building blocks called amino acids — 9 of which cannot be produced by our body. These essential amino acids must be obtained through foods, such as chia seeds, spirulina and — you guessed it — our Plantpro.

Complete protein is the building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Our hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Without protein, our body cannot create enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals.

At 19g of protein per serving, Plantpro gives you you more protein than most plant-based protein blend in the market.

7% DV Fibre Per Serving

One of the most important nutrient we need, yet we are not getting enough from most protein blend in the market.

Slows down the absorption of sugar, resulting in a gradual release of energy. Helps prevents constipation. Helps keep you full and cut back on sugary cravings. Helps prevent and improve condition of diabetes by slowing down the absorption of sugar and stabilising insulin level. Helps lower cholesterol by binding itself with excess cholesterol and excreting it out of your body as waste. Yeap, definitely important.

35% DV Iron Per Serving

It is commonly mistaken that protein is the only nutrient one should focus on, when it comes to bulking up. In reality, nutrients such as iron, magnesium and potassium are key for muscle growth.

Iron is responsible for creation of red blood cells and transport of oxygen from our lungs to all cells in our body, including the muscle cells. Inadequate iron in our body causes weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, cold hands and feet, muscle cramps and chest pain. Severe anaemia has been associated with impaired muscle function, brain fogging and even heart failure.

Fun fact: The recommendation daily intake for iron are 1.5 times higher for athletes than non-athletes.
