Peak Vegan Protein Isolate Vanilla Pistachio puts a nutty turn on the standard vanilla shake — a 750 g pouch of rice and pea protein isolate, stevia-sweetened, with 23 g of protein and 0 g of sugars in every 30 g serving. Twenty-five servings per pouch, mixed with water rather than milk.

In short: Peak Vegan Protein Isolate Vanilla Pistachio is a stevia-sweetened rice and pea blend with 23 g of protein and zero sugars per 30 g scoop. Peak Vegan Protein Isolate Vanilla Pistachio is the flavour to reach for when plain vanilla has worn thin.

What Peak Vegan Protein Isolate Vanilla Pistachio is made of

Peak splits the protein evenly between rice isolate and pea isolate, 48.2% each. The two have complementary amino acid profiles — rice is short on lysine, pea on methionine — and using isolates rather than concentrates keeps the powder at 77 g of protein per 100 g with just 6 g of carbohydrate. A little xanthan gum gives it more body in the glass than most plant proteins manage, and the sweetening is steviol glycosides only.

Ingredients and allergens

Rice protein isolate (48.2%), pea protein isolate (48.2%), flavouring, salt, thickener (xanthan gum), sweetener (steviol glycosides from stevia).

Allergens: may contain cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk and soybeans. The pistachio note comes from flavouring — there are no nuts in the recipe.

How to use it

Mix a 30 g dose — two measuring scoops — with 300 ml of water and shake. Plant milk suits this flavour especially well, and oat milk leans into the nuttiness. It also folds into porridge, chia pots, overnight oats and pistachio-forward smoothies. Once opened, use within three months, keeping the pouch sealed somewhere cool, dry and out of direct light.

A flavour worth rotating in

Most people give up on a protein powder not because it is bad but because they get bored of it around week four. Vanilla pistachio sits in a useful spot: distinct enough that it does not taste like the vanilla tub you just finished, mild enough to drink every single day. Pair it with a plainer option and alternate — the unflavoured Natural is the obvious partner, and it doubles as a baking protein.

Who is it for?

Vegans and dairy-avoiders who have had enough of plain vanilla and chocolate, and anyone steering clear of sucralose and acesulfame K. If you would rather go sweet-and-salty, the same formula comes in Salted Peanut Caramel; for a dessert note, there is Cookies & Cream.

Frequently asked questions

Does it actually contain pistachio? No. The flavour is achieved with flavouring, so the product is nut-free by recipe, though it may carry traces from the production line as listed above.

How sweet is it? Lightly — steviol glycosides only, with no added sugar and 0 g of sugars per serving.

How many servings per pouch? Twenty-five, at 30 g each.

Where can I check the manufacturer’s spec? Peak publishes the range at peak.ag.

Mixing a plant protein well

A few habits make plant protein far more pleasant to drink. Add the liquid to the shaker before the powder, or it cakes at the bottom. Use the full 300 ml rather than skimping — thicker is not better with a gum-thickened powder. Let the shake stand for a minute so the xanthan gum hydrates properly; the texture improves noticeably in that time. And oat milk plus a handful of ice in a blender turns this flavour in particular into something closer to a dessert than a supplement.
