It was my first time ordering products from Tarwi and it's the only protein I've liked so far. I've only tried the cocoa one, but I'm sure the others won't disappoint, and I'm really looking forward to trying the lupin snacks.

I love the vanilla and chocolate proteins. I mix them with plain yogurt and it's like a pudding (but healthy).

One of the best proteins I've ever tried...

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your protein different from other proteins on the market?

Our protein is minimally processed, easy to digest, with only 3, 5, or 6 ingredients (depending on the flavor) and rich in prebiotic fiber and minerals, to give you everything you need, and nothing you don't.

Hand-picked ingredients: we use only high-quality ingredients, taking advantage of all the micronutrients and minerals they offer us, to provide not only the amount of protein you need, but also the fiber and minerals that are essential for your daily life.

No aftertaste: we use a high-tech protein isolation method that eliminates the plant's aftertaste.

Easy to digest: our protein is lectin-free and low in antinutritional compounds, which makes it easier to digest.

Mixes as well as whey:
our protein mixes very well with just water, creating a creamy texture and a slight 100% natural foam effect, without the need to add lecithins or gums.

Complete protein: contains all 9 essential amino acids.

Why do I need to add protein to my diet?

Protein is essential for countless physiological functions. Enzymes, which are protein-based, facilitate chemical reactions such as food digestion, DNA replication, and liver detoxification. Proteins are also essential for healthy muscles, hair, nails, bones, and skin.

In theory, you should be able to get all the protein you need through whole food sources such as meat, fish, dairy, and legumes, but this isn't always easy.

For example:

  • If you have a busy routine, protein can be a super convenient way to meet your nutritional goals.
  • If you are a very active person, it can help you meet your higher protein needs.
  • If you love the taste, it can help you enjoy your meals even more, such as in smoothies, porridges, or cakes.
  • If you are an older adult with a tendency to consume too little protein, it can contribute to muscle loss with aging.
  • Additionally, a significant proportion of people in special care and some people with cancer have protein deficiency.

So, while not everyone needs a protein supplement or any supplement, these can be useful additions to a healthy diet.

When should I take protein powder?

Whenever you want! You can take it:

  • as a meal replacement in main meals, if you're in a hurry or don't have time to cook,
  • or as a substitute in meals that tend to be high in carbohydrates (such as breakfast and snacks), to have a more balanced meal.

How should I use protein powder?

You can simply mix it with water, milk or juice of your choice, add it to smoothies, porridge or yoghurts, or get creative in the kitchen.

Check out our recipes page for inspiration!

What is the recommended dosage?

It depends on the usage.

  • If you are mixing it with water, milk, or juice, we recommend 2 tablespoons for 250ml of liquid.
  • If you are adding it to yogurts or porridges, we recommend 1 tablespoon per serving.
  • If you are using it as a substitute in confectionery products, we recommend following the recipe guidelines. We test all our recipes before sharing them with you, so please follow our serving recommendations!

That said, you should adjust the amount based on your preferences (taste and texture).

For reference, a 30g serving of tarwi protein (equivalent to 2 tablespoons) = 21g of protein in the Neutral Flavour, 20g of protein in the Vanilla, and 16g of protein in the Cacao. The variation in protein content is directly related to the amount of protein isolate used in each of the flavours.

Is protein safe for children?

Since we only use high-quality, all-natural ingredients, our protein is safe to give to children, assuming the child is not allergic or intolerant to any of the ingredients listed.

We like to think of it as a substitute for ultra-processed foods commonly offered to children, such as:

Flavoured yoghurts, which are usually full of sugars and preservatives. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of Vanilla or Cocoa protein powder into 1 serving of plain yoghurt for a delicious and creamy yoghurt.

Juices, even 100% fruit juices, are very high in sugar. To balance the drink with fiber and protein, mix 1 teaspoon of protein (neutral flavour) into 1 glass of juice. This will help prevent a glucose spike.

Flavoured milks and others, which children love, are full of sugars and preservatives. Mix 1 tablespoon of Vanilla or Cocoa protein powder into 250ml of milk for a delicious and healthy alternative.

Is your protein safe to consume during pregnancy?

As we only use high-quality and all-natural ingredients, our protein is safe to consume during pregnancy, assuming you are not allergic or intolerant to any of the ingredients listed on the ingredients list.

Does your protein contain any allergens?

Our protein contains lupin.

Like other protein-rich foods (such as peanuts or soy), lupins can trigger an allergic reaction. It has been shown that people allergic to peanuts may also react to lupins, so be careful if this is your case!

Please note that our protein is produced in a gluten-free factory environment. Our protein is also soy and GMO-free.
