Protein Blend

A comprehensive plant protein formulation combining fermented pea, sprouted pumpkin seed, and sprouted brown rice proteins with digestive enzymes and recovery-supporting botanicals. Each 908g pouch delivers complete amino acid profile, enhanced bioavailability through fermentation and sprouting, and functional ingredients supporting athletic performance and recovery.

Formulation Rationale:

Conventional plant proteins rely on single-source, unfermented isolates with limited amino acid completeness and poor digestibility causing gastrointestinal distress. Vitallea's formulation utilizes multiple complementary protein sources: fermented pea protein for high lysine content and reduced anti-nutrients through fermentation; sprouted pumpkin seed protein for zinc, magnesium, and complete amino acid profile; sprouted fermented brown rice protein for additional methionine and hypoallergenic properties; and sprouted quinoa for complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Enzyme blend including phytase, protease, and cellulase enhances protein breakdown and mineral absorption. Tart cherry, pineapple, and papaya provide natural enzymes and polyphenols supporting exercise recovery. MCT oil offers rapid energy source. The result is a bioavailable, gut-friendly protein supporting muscle synthesis, recovery, and sustained energy.

Applications:

Primary protein supplement for post-workout recovery and muscle synthesis. Meal replacement base for smoothies and shakes. Protein fortification for baking and cooking. Pre-sleep recovery formula leveraging tart cherry natural melatonin content. Digestive-friendly option for individuals sensitive to conventional plant proteins.

Verified Attributes:

Multi-source complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Fermentation and sprouting reducing anti-nutrients and enhancing bioavailability. Digestive enzyme blend for improved protein utilization. Twelve-month shelf stability with natural preservation. Clean-label formulation without artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives.

Nutritional Facts

Nutritional Differentiation vs. Conventional Plant Proteins:

Four complementary protein sources ensuring complete amino acid profile versus single-source limitations. Fermentation and sprouting reducing anti-nutrients by sixty percent versus unprocessed isolates. Digestive enzyme blend enhancing protein bioavailability and reducing gastrointestinal distress. Recovery botanicals including tart cherry, pineapple, and papaya absent in standard formulations. MCT oil providing rapid energy source uncommon in protein powders. Stevia-sweetened with zero glycemic impact versus sugar alcohols causing digestive upset.

Storage, Serving & Preparation

Storage Protocols:

Unopened Storage: Store in cool dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture for twelve months from production date. Resealable pouch protects from oxidation and humidity.

Opened Storage: Reseal pouch tightly after each use. Store in cool dry place. Consume within three months of opening for optimal enzyme activity and protein quality. Refrigeration not required but extends freshness in humid climates.

Moisture Protection: Keep powder dry to prevent clumping, mold growth, and enzyme degradation. Use dry scoop for each serving.

Freezer Storage: Not recommended. Temperature fluctuations cause condensation compromising powder flow and enzyme stability.

Inventory Management: Check for off-odors indicating rancidity, clumping indicating moisture exposure, or faded color indicating
oxidation before consumption. Fresh product has mild vanilla-nut aroma.

Preparation Methods:

Standard Shake:

• Add one scoop (30g) to 300ml cold water or plant milk.
• Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until dissolved.
• Consume within 30 minutes post-workout for optimal recovery.
• Smoothie Base:
• Blend one scoop with banana, spinach, berries, and plant milk.
• Add ice for desired consistency.
• Pre-Sleep Recovery:
• Blend one scoop with warm plant milk and tart cherry juice.
• Consume 30 minutes before sleep for recovery support.
• Baking Application:
• Substitute 25% flour with protein powder in muffins or pancakes.
• Reduce liquid slightly to account for powder absorption.

Savory Application:

Blend into soups or sauces for protein fortification.

Quality Indicators:

Fresh product will show fine uniform powder, light beige color with green flecks from pumpkin seed, mild vanilla-nut aroma, smooth dissolution when shaken, and clean taste without grittiness or bitterness.

Degraded product will present clumping, rancid odor, faded brown color, poor dissolution, bitter off-flavor, or visible mold indicating spoilage.
