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.

How the numbers stack up against the price

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. MyProtein Clear Whey Protein, Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation, Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - PLATINUM Innovation, Protein Works Vegan Pea Protein - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works 100% Micellar Casein - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works Diet Whey Protein Isolate - BLACK Innovation, Protein Works Clear Diet Whey Protein - GOLD Innovation have no partner listing in stock, so they carry 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.

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.

Informed SportNo evidence found

No batch-testing claim is published for this product and we found none elsewhere.

What the maker does not publish

  • Protein Works does not explain the salt level, and does not publish a sodium figure separately.
