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.

Good protein powder, is still a bit grainy in texture but mixes fine and doesn’t clump too bad, vanilla flavour is good, although I found the berry one tastes medicinal.

I have been using the Vanilla plant protein powder in my smoothies for the last year and it has helped me to lose 30kgs. I stopped using it over Christmas and gained 7kgs so am back on it and losing weight again. I love the vanilla flavor, it goes perfect with my berries. Highly recommend!

I'm such a fan of this! Wanted a more cost effective option to replace my regular DF protein and I'm sold on this - it's tasty but not overpowering, not gritty, has good macros, and even full price I think this is really good $ per serve. Will buy again!

Almost done with the tub now so can make a pretty accurate assessment. This doesn't make me feel bloated like I was when taking gold standard whey. My gut's finally flatter and not gassy all the time. Performance-wise, seems the same as whey. The taste is good but it's gritty.

Great product. I a 76 years old and work out 5 days a week (weights and cardio) Was starting to feel a bit washed out by the end of the week. After using for a couple of weeks I have noticed a marked improvement. Great taste, prompt delivery
