Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation
On the numbers that usually decide a vegan protein, this is very strong: 82g of protein per 100g, 5.5g of carbohydrate, 0.1g of sugar, and 44p per 25g of protein on Protein Works’ own 4kg bag, which undercuts most whey.

Strong on the numbers
Scored on the label and the price, not on how it tastes. How we score.
How the numbers stack up against the price
44p buys 25g of protein here, which makes it the 2nd cheapest of the 18 powders we have reviewed, behind Protein Works Vegan Pea Protein - BLACK Innovation at 39p, and 42p under the median.
The blend is sensible too, soy and pea isolates first with brown rice behind them. The problem is the salt. At 2.95g per 100g it is the highest figure in the Protein Works range and roughly twice what their own whey blends carry, which works out near 0.89g in a 30g scoop. If you take two shakes a day that is a real share of an adult daily maximum, and it is the reason this is not a straightforward recommendation.

Cheapest in-stock listing at a partner retailer, for packs of 400g and over. NXT Nutrition Beef Protein Isolate has no partner listing in stock, so it carries no figure.
Soy protein isolate leads, then pea, then brown rice. That ordering is what gets the protein to 82g per 100g: soy and pea isolates are both high-purity, and the amino acid profiles complement each other. Alongside the protein there is a twelve-item vitamin and mineral blend, xanthan and guar gum as thickeners, and DigeZyme. No dairy anywhere on the list.
One 30g scoop carries about 0.89g of salt, roughly 15% of an adult daily maximum.
What the label gets right, and wrong
Strengths
- 82g of protein per 100g, high for a plant blend
- 44p per 25g of protein on the 4kg bag at Protein Works, and 41p on Amazon
- 0.1g of sugar and 5.5g of carbohydrate per 100g
- Twelve added vitamins and minerals, plus a digestive enzyme complex
Watch-outs
- 2.95g of salt per 100g, the highest in the Protein Works range
- About 0.89g of salt in a single 30g scoop
- Soy-led, so no use to anyone avoiding soy
- Cost per 25g runs from 44p to 64p at Protein Works depending on pack size
Where to buy it
Ordered by cost per 25g of protein, because pack sizes and protein densities differ enough that a headline price on its own does not tell you which is better value.

Flavouring, colour and any cocoa or fruit additions change between flavours, and so does the panel.
Third-party testing
Certification is per programme and often per flavour or per batch, so a badge on one product does not carry across a brand’s whole range.
No batch-testing claim is published for this product and we found none elsewhere.
Made by
Protein Works, produced at their own UK facility
What the maker does not publish
- Protein Works does not explain the salt level, and does not publish a sodium figure separately.
- The ratio between soy, pea and rice protein is not disclosed.
- We found no product-level buyer reviews we could attribute and link.
Questions buyers ask
The things people search for about Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation, answered from the label and the live partner prices rather than from the brand’s own copy.
How much protein is in Protein Works Vegan Protein 360?
82g per 100g, or 25g in a 30g scoop, on the most common flavour panel. Some flavours run higher, up to 88g per 100g.
Why is the salt so high in Vegan Protein 360?
Protein Works does not say. The published panel is 2.95g of salt per 100g, which is about 0.89g in a 30g scoop and roughly twice what their whey blends carry. If you are watching sodium, this is the figure to weigh.
Is Vegan Protein 360 soy free?
No. Soy protein isolate is the first ingredient in the blend.
