Plant protein powder for easy dairy-free use
Applied Nutrition Critical Plant 1.8kg is a plant-based protein powder built for vegan and dairy-free trainees who want a complete amino acid profile from non-animal sources. Each 30g serving delivers 24.6g of protein at 107 calories from a three-source blend of soya, pea and brown rice protein isolates. The 1.8kg tub provides 60 servings.
The triple-source plant blend covers the amino acid gaps that single-source plant proteins typically have. Pea protein is naturally low in methionine; rice protein is low in lysine; soya protein is more complete on its own. Combining all three produces a fuller amino acid spread including 1.97g of L-leucine per serving for muscle protein synthesis signalling, plus a complete essential amino acid profile. Total carbs at 1.9g and zero sugars keep the macro profile lean.
What separates Critical Plant from soya-only or pea-only vegan proteins is the multi-source approach. Soya alone gives a more complete amino acid spread but is restricted by trainees avoiding soya; pea or rice alone leaves amino gaps. The triple-source formulation gives both completeness and source diversity, suiting vegans who prefer not to rely on a single plant protein.
Critical Plant suits vegan and vegetarian athletes, dairy-free trainees who can't run whey, lactose-intolerant lifters seeking a high-protein-per-calorie shake, and anyone running a plant-based diet who wants a fuller amino profile than single-source vegan proteins provide. Contains soya.
Whey-based alternative: Applied Nutrition Critical Whey 2.2kg delivers 24g protein at 130 calories per 33g scoop for trainees who tolerate dairy and prefer faster-absorbing whey.
