Solid 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
54p buys 25g of protein here, which makes it the 3rd cheapest of the 18 powders we have reviewed, behind Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation at 44p, and 32p under the median.
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. NXT Nutrition Beef Protein Isolate has no partner listing in stock, so it carries 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
- 28g of protein per 35g scoop, the largest serving in the vegan range
- 0g of sugar and 6g of carbohydrate per 100g
- 81g of protein per 100g
- Five plant sources with complementary amino acid profiles
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
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 and any 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.

What the maker does not publish
- Protein Works does not disclose how much pumpkin seed or sunflower protein the blend actually contains.

Questions buyers ask
The things people search for about Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - PLATINUM Innovation, answered from the label and the live partner prices rather than from the brand’s own copy.
Is Vegan Protein 360 PLATINUM better than GOLD?
Not clearly. PLATINUM has a bigger scoop, 28g of protein against 25g, and no sugar at all. But it reads 81g of protein per 100g against GOLD’s 82g, and costs 54p per 25g against 44p. The extra two plant sources sit last on the ingredient list, so they are the smallest contributors.
How much sugar is in Vegan Protein 360 PLATINUM?
None. The published panel shows 0g of sugar per 100g, from 6g of total carbohydrate.
