Very detailed description
The best for recovery and daily protein intake
Exercise increases muscle catabolism and, as a result, raises protein requirements. An adequate intake of amino acids is therefore essential to support protein synthesis, both during recovery and on a daily basis, especially when the diet contains a smaller proportion of animal protein.
Pea protein isolates are dietary supplements for sports nutrition that:
- Contain one of the highest levels of BCAAs found in plant-based foods
- Are highly digestible
- Provide a naturally complete amino acid profile, including all essential amino acids
Objectives :
- To supplement daily protein intake, particularly as part of a vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian diet
- Improvements in both strength and endurance (anaerobic and aerobic)
- Muscle building, optimizing the lean-to-fat mass ratio, gaining weight, or weight management
- Repair and strengthening of the muscle fibers used during training
Respect for the environment and for people
- Certified Organic Farming (Ecocert FR)
- Non-GMO seeds produced in-house by Puris
- North American farmers under direct contract with Puris, an independent, family-owned company
- The yellow pea, a legume that fixes nitrogen from the air, naturally enriches the soil and requires little water
- 100% sail-powered transatlantic transport with Grain de Sail, for the lowest-carbon shipping from the U.S.
How does it differ from other plant-based proteins on the market?
On the market, the vast majority of plant-based proteins are filtered in Asia from raw materials imported from the U.S. or India, with no real or consistent traceability. We have chosen to work directly with Puris, a fully vertically integrated American family-owned company: from non-GMO seeds produced in-house, to organic peas grown in North America by contract farmers, to the filtration process carried out exclusively on its own production lines. It is this model—unique in the world—that allows us to ensure full traceability, from seed to powder.
Our nutritional products are then carefully crafted in Albertville, in the heart of the Alps. No subcontractors are involved in our production chain: all stages of manufacturing are carried out and monitored in-house, which allows us to ensure the quality of our products and to be certified under NF EN 17444 (formerly NF V94-001), a European anti-doping standard for sports.
This certification confirms that our products are free of performance-enhancing contaminants: a very real concern, given that, on average, 15% of dietary supplements on the market contain performance-enhancing substances, such as anabolic steroids (1).

Terms of use
- Pour 150 to 200 ml of liquid (water, plant-based milk, or a mixture) into a shaker, then add 1 serving of Vegan Protein (1 measuring spoon provided = 1 serving)
- Mix in a shaker, shaking up and down.
- Finish with light circular movements of the shaker*.
*As we don't use lecithin (a foam-reducing surfactant), a light layer of foam may appear after mixing too vigorously. This is perfectly normal and will disappear within a few minutes.

Product Reviews
Athletes' opinions
Why choose a plant-based protein with no added sugars and no sweeteners?
This version, with no added sugars or sweeteners, is tailored to the needs of athletes with diabetes, or those who prefer their post-workout drink—which aids in muscle recovery—to have no sweet taste.
Gluten-free and naturally lactose-free, this pea isolate is ideal for athletes who want to add their own sugar and carbohydrate sources, such as maple syrup, coconut sugar, honey, and more…
What are sweeteners, and why do most commercial protein products contain them?
Sweeteners are synthetic and/or processed compounds intended to replace sugar in a food product. This substitution is necessary to reduce the product’s calorie content while giving it an extremely sweet taste—even in so-called “zero-sugar” products designed for muscle nutrition and/or muscle gain. There is also a financial consideration, since, at equal sweetness, sweeteners are less expensive than sucrose.
For many manufacturers of protein powders, protein isolates, BCAAs, and supplements, adding a sweetener is necessary to mask the taste of lower-quality proteins. This is especially true for plant-based proteins, whose more pronounced taste is often masked by large amounts of flavorings and sweeteners.
By adding sweeteners (sucralose, aspartame, steviol glycosides, acesulfame K, etc.), the product will have a flavor that, at first glance, makes it much more appealing to consumers—and therefore easier to market. Because they are inexpensive, these additives are often used in combination with others, such as emulsifiers, thickeners, and colorants…
All Protéalpes proteins are guaranteed to be free of additives and sweeteners.
Is there any danger in consuming protein powders containing sweeteners?
At first glance, sweeteners seem to have all the qualities needed to improve a product, without the drawbacks of sugar. They are hundreds of times sweeter than regular sugar and contain very few calories. However, these “empty” molecules have no nutritional value for athletes, and a growing number of studies are casting doubt on the safety of these compounds.
In recent years, researchers have taken a particular interest in sucralose (E955). This organochlorine compound is currently one of the most widely used sweeteners, alongside aspartame. The findings are clear; according to the studies “Sucralose Affects Glycemic and Hormonal Responses to an Oral Glucose Load” and “Sucralose, A Synthetic Organochlorine Sweetener: Overview of Biological Issues,” this sugar substitute can disrupt metabolism in many ways. Thus, repeated consumption may contribute to hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and disruptions in the gut microbiota.
The sweetness of artificial sweeteners may also be harmful to endurance athletes and bodybuilders. For example, sucralose is up to 700 times sweeter than regular sugar when taken in the same amount. By drinking these shakes, you will gradually accustom your brain to this excessively sweet taste. Over time, you will then seek out this flavor in your daily diet or in other dietary supplements. Paradoxically, by choosing a “sugar-free” protein powder that is actually sweetened, consumers are driven to consume increasingly larger amounts of sugar.
Can we cook with your plant-based proteins?
Absolutely! That’s one of the main benefits of our unsweetened, sugar-free pea protein. In fact, synthetic sweeteners like sucralose form toxic compounds when heated—during cooking, for example.
With high-quality pea protein that contains no additives or sweeteners, you can easily and naturally enrich your recipes without risking the consumption of unwanted synthetic compounds.
Naturally lactose-free and low in fat, pea isolate offers a complete amino acid profile, including all the essential amino acids.
Pea protein is ideal for enriching culinary preparations. Whether consumed post-workout or as a snack throughout the day, it’s an essential nutritional ally for your body. Its beneficial effects are evident in muscle recovery, muscle gain, and weight management.
