mythil Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi guys. It seems hemp protein is going up in price quite a bit while pea protein (which has double the listed amount of protein as hemp) is now half the price. I'm not sure if they two are different between the UK and US (due to your food laws and ours) though I wanted to ask if anyone has tried it? Thinking of switching due to the price.

vegan_rossco Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Here in the UK we have a brand called 40+ which do a vegan protein consisting of pea protein, I really don't like it so won't ever switch to it. I use brown rice just because it's flavourless and I can mix it with juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythil Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I am in the UK *points to tag and post* heh. I really don't mind about the taste, really I don't think anyone buys protein powder for the taste (never found one that tasted good anyway) plus I mix mine with fruit and so on so it doesn't taste AS bad. Rice, I don't want to eat too many carbs. I try to keep my carbs to one meal and one snack a day just because they go right to my gut which I have a hard time keeping off. The pea protein has less carbs, more protein and is about half the price of Hemp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 sorry!Should have paid attention to that. And that's fair enough, it's not that I buy the rice protein for the taste it's just that I found pea protein so gross that I would use a crap load of agave nectar or maple syrup to make it bareable ahha I'm just fussy, fair point with the ratios of carbs and proteins, the rice protein I get from the vegan section of myprotein.co.uk and it's 80 odd percent protein which is good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.O. Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hahaha Vega is the best tasting protein powder by far and its a quality mix of several proteins but its not cheap. Looks for deals and discounts, I know you can get some discounts off the main page here but its like 10% or something like that. I like pea protein and hemp protein. I normally go with whatever I can get a deal on but I like to switch it up so I'm not always consuming the same thing all of the time. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythil Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Okay so my stuff arrived during the week and I had my first shake with it today. Pea protein + fine ground oats + banana + Water.... It has to be the best tasting protein shake I've ever had, including the old flavored whey protein I used to have (before turning vegan). It's like banana'ish porridge, sweet but not too sweet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythil Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 One thing I did find which annoyed me is an advert for vegan bodybuilding powder that said "Vegan diets are typically low in protein".. Says who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 One thing I did find which annoyed me is an advert for vegan bodybuilding powder that said "Vegan diets are typically low in protein".. Says who? To be fair most vegans I know have shockingly low levels of protein in their diets. Not helped by the fact that some pro-vegan literature you'll see seeks to make a virtue of this fact. Regarding Bulkpowders, their customer service is terrible. Last few times I ordered it took ages to arrive & it's very difficult to get hold of them (they don't publish their phone number anywhere so I had to get hold of it on the grapevine). If you want decent cheap supplements & good service your best bet is http://www.ironscience.co.uk/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOMn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 DON'T DO IT!! Split-peas are a toxic species raw, like kidney beans. If you eat pea-protein powder you will get horrible, horrible gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganEssentials Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 DON'T DO IT!! Split-peas are a toxic species raw, like kidney beans. If you eat pea-protein powder you will get horrible, horrible gas! Not true for all brands. Nutra Summa makes a bloat-free pea protein that actually tastes pretty darned good and tends to not give people the same gas issues that some other brands who cut corners on quality often do.

mythil Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'll be switching to soy/hemp soon anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenot Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Soy protein gives some good results, but gives me gas. The best protein so far I tried is SunWarrior Rice Protein. Tastes good, digests good, good results =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbayguy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yellow Pea Protein Isolate is the main protein used in many Vegan protein powders like Vega, Progressive, Proteins Plus etc. 28g in a 33 or so gram scoop is super high. I have read you should shoot for a ration of 70% yellow pea/20% brown rice and 10% hemp proteins to get a good amino acid profile. I love yellow pea and it does not give you gas. Sure Hemp is the best veg source in my opinion because of the profile and how its best for the body but also a very good choice is Pumpkin Seed Protein powder. Both it and hemp have lots of chlorophyll. Hemp is the least processed as well. Soy in most brands is the most heavily processed and I really think it inhibits the absorbtion of minerals and vitamins in the intestines. I use Now Sports Yellow Pea. It is the only one I have found in Canada. Unless you buy a product like Vega or Progressive Vegan Protein which already includes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlunk Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 To get a complete amino acid profile you must combine pea and rice. pea is low in methionine 0.82 where rice methionine is at 3.17. Both have a good level of leucine at 8.3-8.74 which there is a nice article on here about it writen by Derek Tresize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
