What type of protein?
Clean Lean Protein is one of our all time favourite natural plant-based proteins. Sourced from European Golden Peas, it has up to 88% protein content, a complete amino acid profile with all 9 essential aminos, is easily digestible, and has a super high digestion rate of 98% meaning you get more of the goodness.
What are Amino Acids?
Amino acids, assembled in long chains, are the building blocks of protein. They are essential to preserve muscle mass during athletic exertion or weight loss. Golden Pea protein isolate has the most potent and balanced amino acid profile of any plant-based protein. It includes all nine of the essential amino acids, those that the body cannot synthesise from simpler molecules.
Alkaline is good for us:
Clean Lean also has a pH of 7.8, making it the only protein in the world that is alkaline. A healthy acid/alkaline balance helps preserve muscle tissue, improve bone density, delay the impact of lactic acid build-up from exercise, and prevent disease.
Vegans and Paleos and more:
Clean Lean is perfect for vegetarians, vegans and food-intolerant folk. As for paleo-fans, the extraction method greatly reduces any phytic acid in the peas, allowing your body to absorb more of the protein goodness, as well as fab minerals like Magnesium, Zinc and Iron.

Good to know FAQs:
1. I am currently using a whey protein concentrate. Why would I switch to Clean Lean Protein?
Clean Lean Protein ™ has a number of advantages over whey:- It is highly alkaline.This helps the body to avoid problems of excess acidity (such as the potential for increased muscle and bone tissue loss in order to 'buffer' the blood.)- Clean Lean Protein™ is higher in BCAAs and glutamine than WPC. - It is a truly vegetarian protein source. Most whey protein is not because it's a by product of cheese making, in which they use rennet - an animal product - to separate the whey from the curds that provide the base for cheese. - It is more sustainable. Getting quality protein from vegetable sources is less input and resource intensive than dairy farming...so it's better for the planet too!
2. Is Clean Lean Protein better than whole eggs as a protein source?
Whole eggs are a great source of protein. Neither Clean Lean Protein™ or eggs could be considered "better", however Clean Lean Protein™ protein offers some specific benefits: 1 Whole egg contains around 6g of protein. The protein is highly bioavailable and has a PDCAAS (protein digestibility amino acid score) of approximately 0.9+. Our Clean Lean Protein™ has a PDCAAS of around 0.98 (slightly higher than whole eggs) but offer the advantage of being highly alkaline and are isolated proteins, meaning that they can be used to simply and effectively bolster protein without other factors (such as fat content) having to be taken into consideration. Clean Lean Protein™ is also more convenient and less messy in smoothies and shakes, making it a great option for those easy meals "on the go".
3. I have recently started taking Clean Lean Protein. I am really enjoying it but have noticed that it contains glutamic acid. Is this the same as MSG?
Glutamic acid (and glutamine) are amino acids that have nothing functionally in common with MSG (monosodium glutamate). The glutamate portion of MSG is the same amino form, but the functional characteristics of MSG are because of it's combined nature. Glutamic acid does not have the same properties or effects.
Reviews:
“The perfect alternative to whey, Clean Lean Protein is the world’s most potent vegetable protein. It’s easier to digest, very low in fat, and is the only non-acidic protein available - an advantage for athletes and great for everyone“
Cliff Harvey - Naturopath, Nutritionist, Mind-body Therapist and Strength Coach.
"I have two young boys so breakfast time is always crazy. I've been having the clean lean protein for breakfast for five weeks now (and sometimes for dinner when I'm feeling lazy), not only am I fuller for longer and have more energy but have lost 5 kilos! I have tried most of the protein powders in the market and this doesn't make me feel bloated or clogged. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to feel fuller for longer, healthier and lose weight along the way!"
Amy - Business woman, mother of two Australia
"Just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the pre-packaged sachets of Good Green Stuff and Clean Lean Protein. I took a box of each product away with me to the national archery tournament, held recently in the Coromandel. As a competitive archer, I am away from home up to 10 times per year, and maintaining good nutrition on the road can be a real challenge. The sachets provided me with a quick and easy pre and post competition snack, and peace of mind in knowing they contain all natural ingredients. Plus there's the added convenience of not having to measure out portions, which makes them well worth the investment. Ten out of ten! :)"
Micky Gunn - National Women's Recurve Champion, 2012/2013
