Select Vegan Protein is our plant-based protein powder designed for great taste, smooth texture, and a strong amino acid profile—without dairy. It’s built on a complementary blend of pea and rice proteins to deliver complete protein with practical versatility for shakes, oats, and baking.
What is Select Vegan Protein?
Select Vegan Protein is a dairy-free alternative to whey/casein powders, formulated to deliver complete protein by combining pea protein and brown rice protein. Each serves a role: pea brings a strong lysine content, while rice helps elevate sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine + cysteine), together supporting a well-rounded essential amino acid (EAA) profile.
Why a pea + rice blend?
- Amino acid complementarity: Pea is relatively lower in methionine; rice is relatively lower in lysine. Blending helps cover both.
- Texture & taste: Thoughtful flavoring and particle sizing help reduce typical “grit” common in single-source plant proteins.
- Versatility: Performs well in shakes and in heated applications like oatmeal and baking.
Nutrition at a glance

| Sodium | ~200–400 mg | From protein sources and flavor system |
Ingredients & sweeteners
Core ingredients generally include pea protein, brown rice protein, natural flavors, a sweetener system, and small functional helpers (e.g., thickeners for consistency). Flavor systems may differ slightly by flavor.
How to mix it perfectly
- Start with 8–12 oz (240–355 ml) cold liquid per scoop in a shaker bottle.
- Shake 15–20 seconds. Let sit for ~30 seconds, then one more quick shake for extra smoothness.
- For creamier shakes: Add a few ice cubes or blend with half a frozen banana.
- For oats: Stir a scoop into cooked oats off heat; add liquid until it’s your preferred texture.
- For baking: See the starter recipes below; plant proteins absorb differently than whey, so follow tested ratios.
When to take it
- Post-workout: Convenient way to hit your protein target after training.
- Between meals: Helps increase daily protein without dairy.
- With breakfast or before bed: Works well stirred into oats or yogurt alternatives.
