Combo Pack: Unflavoured Protein Powder + Snacks

Our protein is minimally processed, easy to digest, with just 2, 4, or 5 ingredients (depending on the flavour) and rich in prebiotic fibre and minerals, to give you everything you need, and nothing you don't.

Carefully selected ingredients: we only use high-quality ingredients, making the most of all the micronutrients and minerals they offer, to provide not only the amount of protein you need, but also the fibre and minerals that are essential for your everyday life.

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

Easy to digest: lupin beans are naturally lectin-free and low in anti-nutritional compounds, making our protein easier to digest.

Mixes as well as whey: lupin beans have naturally emulsifying and slightly gelling properties (which is why they are often used as a gluten alternative), meaning our protein mixes very well with just water, creating a creamy texture and a slight 100% natural foaming effect, with no need to add lecithins or gums.

Complete protein: unlike other legumes, lupin beans contain all 9 essential amino acids.

Protein is essential for numerous physiological functions. Enzymes, which are based on proteins, facilitate chemical reactions such as food digestion, DNA replication, and liver detoxification. Proteins are also essential for the health of muscles, hair, nails, bones, and skin.

In theory, you should be able to obtain all the protein you need from whole food sources, such as meat, fish, dairy, and legumes, but this is not always easy.

For example:

• If you have a busy routine, protein supplements can be a super convenient way to meet your nutritional goals.
• If you are a very active person, they can help meet your greater protein needs.
• If you love the taste, they can help you enjoy your meals even more, such as in smoothies, porridges, or cakes.
• If you are an older adult, you may consume little protein, which can contribute to muscle mass loss with aging.
• In addition, a significant proportion of people in long-term care and some people with cancer have protein deficiency.

Therefore, although not everyone needs a protein supplement or any supplement, they can be useful additions to a healthy diet.

Whenever you like! You can have it:

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

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

It depends on the use.

• If you are mixing it with water, milk, or juice, we recommend 2 tablespoons for 250ml of liquid.
• If you are adding it to yoghurts or porridges, we recommend 1 tablespoon per portion.
• 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 (flavour 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 Cocoa. The variation in protein content is directly related to the amount of lupin protein isolate used in each of the flavours.

As we only use high-quality, completely natural ingredients, our protein is safe to give to children, provided the child is not allergic or intolerant to any of the ingredients listed in the ingredients list.

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

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

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

Flavoured milks and other drinks that children love are full of sugar and preservatives. Mix 1 tablespoon of Vanilla or Cocoa protein powder into 250ml of milk for a delicious and healthy alternative.

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

Like other high-protein foods (such as peanuts or soy), lupin can trigger an allergic reaction. It has been shown that people with peanut allergies may also react to lupin—please be aware if this is the case!

Please note that our protein is produced in a gluten-free manufacturing facility. Our protein is also soy-free and non-GMO.
