How It Works
Balance Plant Protein works by combining complimentary plant-protein sources—Pea Isolate and Brown Rice Concentrate—to create a complete protein structure. While individual plant proteins can sometimes lack certain essential amino acids, combining pea and rice ensures a complete spectrum of building blocks, including high concentrations of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine (BCAAs), which are critical for triggering muscle tissue repair after heavy training.
Because the formula is completely free from dairy, lactose, and synthetic thickeners, it digests smoothly and efficiently. The plant-based protein matrix provides a steady stream of bioavailable amino acids into your bloodstream, halting post-workout catabolism and fueling cellular hydration without causing gut heaviness or bloating.
Recommended Use
Mix 1 level scoop (approx. 30g) into 250ml–300ml of cold water, almond milk, or your favorite plant beverage in a Sprint Fit shaker. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until completely dissolved. Consume within 30 minutes post-workout for optimal recovery, or use as a convenient mid-day protein boost.
Balance Sports Nutrition Plant Protein Frequently Asked Questions
What is the protein source used in Balance Plant Protein?
Unlike single-source plant powders that can fall short on amino density, Balance Plant Protein utilizes a premium, multi-source vegan matrix. It blends Pea Protein Isolate, Organic Brown Rice Protein Concentrate, Chia Protein Powder, and Sacha Inchi Powder to establish a complete, highly bioavailable protein profile.
How many grams of protein and BCAAs are in a standard serving?
Every 30g level scoop provides a powerful, lean macronutrient ratio tailored to support structural muscle recovery and general daily wellness:
Protein: 21.7g of multi-source plant-based protein.
BCAAs: Over 4.5g of added and naturally occurring Branched-Chain Amino Acids (at an optimal 2:1:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine).
Glutamine: Enhanced with added L-Glutamine to significantly support tissue repair under heavy training loads.
Macros: Only 117 calories, 2.2g of fat, and a minimal 1.6g of carbohydrates per serve.
Will Balance Plant Protein cause digestive discomfort or stomach bloating?
No. Many basic plant protein supplements can feel heavy or grainy in the gut due to raw plant fibers. Balance explicitly solves this by infusing the blend with natural digestive enzymes (Bromelain and Papain) derived from pineapple and papaya. These active enzymes help break down the plant protein structures quickly, ensuring exceptionally light digestion and eliminating stomach bloating.
Is Balance Plant Protein free from gluten, dairy, and soy?
Yes. Balance Plant Protein is engineered with a strict hypoallergenic profile. It is formulated completely without gluten, dairy, soy, or any animal-derived ingredients. It is an ideal, clean dietary solution for individuals managing severe lactose intolerance, celiac profiles, or strict vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
Are there artificial sweeteners or chemical additives in the formula?
Absolutely not. True to its clean performance ethos, Balance contains zero artificial flavors, artificial colors, synthetic preservatives, or chemical sweeteners. Instead, the recipe is naturally flavored and sweetened using a precise touch of Stevia and Thaumatin (a natural fruit extract from West Africa).
How many servings are in the 440g, 1kg, and 2kg container sizes?
Based on the standard 30g daily level scoop, the exact serving counts stocked at Sprint Fit include:
440g Tub: Provides 14 full servings (perfect for sampling the texture).
1kg Tub: Provides 33 full servings (a practical 1-month daily supply).
2kg Tub: Provides a massive 66 full servings (delivering the absolute best long-term value-per-scoop for daily plant-based athletes).
What is the best way to mix and use Balance Plant Protein?
Add 1 level scoop (30g) to 350ml of cold water, coconut water, or your choice of plant-based milk in a shaker and shake smoothly for 20 seconds. It can be consumed within 30 minutes post-workout or 60–90 minutes prior to exercise. Pro-tip: Because of its smooth, non-gritty texture, it mixes perfectly into morning oats, berry smoothies, or homemade vegan protein baking.

Tried the chocolate for the first time. I like it alot , maybe a little sweet for others but for me with a very big sweet tooth I love it haha . Mixes well , very with milk or water without being too thick like others I've tried. Would definitely recommend for a plant based option and would buy again !

I would never order anywhere else, fastest delivery service!! I’ve been using Balance plant based protein powder for a few years now, and it’s the best pea protein I’ve tried. Doesn’t have that chalkyness to it like some proteins powders. My favourite flavour is vanilla, which you can also put in your morning oats to add extra protein. I do get the berry sometimes just to mix it up, this is great with smoothies! Also LOVE the fact they have such great deals on their products! Will definitely keep ordering. Thanks guys!!

We purchase this product for my elderly father-in-law and he has this everyday on his morning cereal. Hes not exactly a body builder, but we have found that this is an easy way to provide him with much needed protein to keep his weight in balance. He enjoys it and we can mix it easily into his milk to go on his weetbix. We have tried other formulas but find this one the easiest and nicest one to use.

I do not stomach dairy based protein, so I tried many types, but a year or two ago I tried this and stuck with it ever since. Also Sprint Fit get it to me so fast and sometimes run promotions to throw in a free item, which is cool.
