How the numbers stack up against the price

Five sources is more marketing than nutrition though: the two extras sit last on the ingredient list, and PLATINUM actually reads one gram lower on protein per 100g than the cheaper GOLD tier. Salt is 2.80g per 100g, high in the same way the rest of the vegan line is. At 54p per 25g of protein it costs more than GOLD’s 44p, and the case for paying it rests on the bigger scoop rather than on the extra proteins.

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.

Five plant sources against the GOLD tier’s three, adding pumpkin seed and organic sunflower protein behind the soy and pea isolates. Whether five sources beat three is genuinely arguable: the extra two sit at the end of the list, so they are the smallest contributors, and the headline protein figure is actually a point lower than GOLD’s. Also on the list: flaxseed powder, a six-item vitamin and mineral blend, and DigeZyme.

What the label gets right, and wrong

Strengths

Watch-outs

  • 2.80g of salt per 100g
  • A point lower on protein per 100g than the cheaper GOLD tier
  • 54p per 25g against GOLD’s 44p, for a formulation that is not clearly better
  • Soy-led, so no use to anyone avoiding soy

Flavouring and any additions change between flavours, and so does the panel.

Third-party testing
