Weak 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
71p buys 25g of protein here, which makes it the 4th cheapest of the 18 powders we have reviewed, behind Protein Works Vegan Protein 360 - PLATINUM Innovation at 54p, and 15p under the median.
It carries 24g of protein in its 35g scoop against GOLD’s 20g in 30g, adds whey protein isolate as a fourth source, and cuts the carbohydrate from 19g per 100g to 14g and the sugar from 16g to 11g. Cost per 25g of protein is 71p at the 4.8kg bag, which is fractionally cheaper than GOLD as well, so the better formulation is effectively free. The caveats are the same ones the whole range carries: soy protein isolate is second on the ingredient list, and the small bag is poor value at £1.24 per 25g.

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.
Four protein sources against GOLD’s three, with whey protein isolate added. Soy protein isolate still sits second, ahead of both the whey isolate and the milk protein concentrate, so soy is a major contributor here as it is across the 360 range. Ingredient lists run in descending order by weight. Some flavours swap the order of the last two sources. Alongside the protein: L-glutamine, a six-item vitamin and mineral blend, xanthan gum and DigeZyme.
What the label gets right, and wrong
Strengths
- 24g of protein per scoop, the most of any tier in the 360 range
- 14g of carbohydrate and 11g of sugar per 100g, against GOLD’s 19g and 16g
- Adds whey protein isolate as a fourth protein source
- 71p per 25g of protein on the 4.8kg bag, marginally cheaper than GOLD
Watch-outs
- Soy protein isolate is second on the ingredient list, ahead of the whey isolate
- Flavour-to-flavour variation is wide: protein 67-70g, sugar 7-12g, salt 1.10-2.30g
- 69g of protein per 100g is still modest for a whey product
- £1.24 per 25g on the smallest bag against 71p on the 4.8kg
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.

The nutrition and the non-protein ingredients both change between flavours, and the vitamin blend is not identical on every one.
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. Treat it as uncertified if you are drug tested.
Made by
Protein Works, produced at their own UK facilityTheir wording is "Produced in our state-of-the-art UK innovation centre". They do not name the site.
What the maker does not publish
- The ratio between the four protein sources is not disclosed, so how much of the 69g is dairy protein cannot be established from the label.
- The vitamin and mineral blend differs between flavours; Protein Works does not explain why.
- We found no product-level buyer reviews we could attribute and link.
