Active Protein Vanilla is SunWarrior’s performance kilo in its smoothest dress: 30 g of clean, organic plant protein per serving with 6 g of BCAAs, a marine-mineral replenishment blend, digestive enzymes and the DE111 culture — engineered for training days, flavoured for every day.

The performance arithmetic

Thirty grams of protein per serving is proper post-training territory — protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and the 6 g of naturally occurring BCAAs (the branched-chain trio leucine, isoleucine, valine) come from a complete amino acid profile, not a spiked label. The blend runs on organic pea, brown rice and pumpkin-seed proteins — three sources fused for completeness, all certified organic.

The supporting cast, unusually literate

• Aquamin® sea minerals — calcium, magnesium and 72 trace minerals from Lithothamnium algae; a plant-based mineral source for what sweat spends
• Real Salt® — unrefined salt, minerals intact, replacing sodium the honest way
• Enzyme & culture blend — protease, bromelain, lipase and colleagues, plus the DE111 Bacillus subtilis culture
• Organic botanicals — tart cherry, maca, turmeric with black pepper: the recovery tradition’s shortlist, present as whole ingredients
• Vanilla done properly — organic vanilla with coconut milk powder, MCT oil, cinnamon and stevia; no added sugar

How to use it

One scoop in 300 ml of water or plant milk around training — before or after, per your own routine. It blends smooth in a shaker and turns genuinely dessert-like with frozen banana. Contains coconut. Refrigerate prepared shakes and drink the same day; store the tub cool and sealed.

Vanilla vs Chocolate — the kilo question

Same formula, different mood: vanilla is the mixer’s flavour — smoothies, oats, fruit blends all welcome it — where chocolate stands alone in a shaker. Households that buy kilos tend to alternate; households that blend fruit start here.

Frequently asked questions

How many servings per kilo? Roughly 30 — a month of daily shakes at full serving.

Vegan throughout? Yes — plant proteins, algae minerals, plant-derived enzymes; organic across the core blends.

How does it differ from Warrior Blend? Warrior Blend is the everyday 750 g range; Active Protein is the bigger, sport-focused build with the mineral-enzyme entourage and 30 g servings.

The clean-sports-nutrition standard

Sports nutrition has historically treated ingredient quality as optional — Active Protein is SunWarrior’s argument that it isn’t. The protein sources are certified organic; the minerals come from algae and unrefined salt rather than lab powders; the botanical layer is actual tart cherry, maca and turmeric rather than “recovery matrix” hand-waving; and the sweetness is stevia’s, with no sugar line hiding in the panel. For athletes who read labels the way they read training plans, the tub audits clean — and for everyone else, it simply tastes like a proper vanilla shake that happens to carry 30 grams of protein.

Is stevia noticeable? A gentle background sweetness — vanilla and coconut lead; nothing artificial-tasting trails.

What is DE111? A branded, well-characterised Bacillus subtilis culture — named on the label per the range’s transparency habit, no claims attached here.

Can I bake with it? Vanilla plant protein folds into pancakes and oat bakes gracefully — add to dry ingredients and accept the denser crumb.

Why the enzymes? Plant proteins digest better with help — the protease-bromelain crew is there so the 30 g serving sits comfortably, not just impressively.

Pre or post workout — which does the label mean? Both are sanctioned; the formula was built as all-purpose training fuel, so let your session dictate the slot.
