Plant protein is the go-to when you want a dairy-free protein powder that still supports training goals. Whether you’re fully vegan or you just prefer how plant-based shakes sit, the win is the same: a simple way to hit your daily protein target without changing your whole diet.
PER4M Plant Protein is built around a 100% plant-based blend, delivering 21g protein per serving with under 1g sugar. It’s vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, and designed to taste like something you’ll actually look forward to.
Why plant protein works
Protein quality comes down to the essentials: total protein intake across the day, and getting enough essential amino acids from your diet. Plant proteins can absolutely support muscle building and recovery when your overall intake is high enough and your protein sources are well chosen.
One reason blended plant proteins are popular is amino acid balance. Pea protein is naturally rich in lysine but lower in methionine, while rice protein helps complement that. Put together, you get a more complete essential amino acid profile, which is exactly why pea and rice blends are used so often in high-quality vegan protein powders.
Who Plant Protein is for
- Vegan and plant-based diets: An easy daily staple when whole-food protein isn’t always practical.
- Dairy-free lifestyles: If whey doesn’t agree with you, plant protein is the straightforward alternative.
- Anyone chasing consistency: Busy days, rushed meals, and low-protein breakfasts are where a shake earns its place.
- People who want clean macros: High protein with low sugar keeps it easy to fit into most routines.
How much protein do you need?
Your target depends on bodyweight, training, and goals. For active people, a widely used range is roughly 1.4 to 2.0g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. If you’re dieting, training hard, or relying heavily on plant sources, many people find aiming toward the higher end makes staying consistent easier.
A practical approach is to spread intake across the day and aim for around 20 to 40g of protein per meal or snack. You’re better off being consistent than trying to cram it all into one massive shake.
When to take Plant Protein
After training: Simple, quick, and easy when appetite is low.
At breakfast: One of the most common gaps. Mix into oats, smoothies, or yoghurt-style bowls.
Between meals: A clean, low-effort way to top up protein when you’re busy.
Whenever you’ll stick with: Total daily protein matters more than perfect timing.
How to mix it properly
- Mix 1 scoop with 200 to 250ml of water depending on your preferred consistency.
- Shake hard for a smooth finish.
- Use 1 to 2 servings daily, based on how much protein you’re already getting from meals.
How to use Plant Protein beyond shakes
- Oats and porridge: Mix in after cooking to keep texture smooth.
- Smoothies: Easy protein without changing your routine.
- Yoghurt bowls: Stir through for a thicker, dessert-style snack.
- Baking and pancakes: Great for higher-protein treats when you keep portions sensible.

FAQs
What is plant protein powder?
Plant protein powder is a concentrated protein source made from plant ingredients like pea and rice. It’s used to boost daily protein intake in a quick, convenient way, especially for vegan or dairy-free routines.
Is plant protein as good as whey for building muscle?
It can be. What matters most is total daily protein intake and consistency. Plant proteins work best when your overall intake is high enough and your protein sources give you a solid essential amino acid profile across the day.
Why do plant proteins use blends like pea and rice?
Because they complement each other. Pea is naturally higher in some amino acids and lower in others, and rice helps balance the profile. Blends are a common way to get a more complete essential amino acid spread from plant sources.
How many servings should I take per day?
Most people use 1 to 2 servings daily, depending on how much protein they get from meals. Use it to fill gaps, not replace all your food.
When’s the best time to take plant protein?
Whenever it helps you hit your daily target consistently. Post-workout is convenient, but breakfast and between meals are just as useful if that’s where your routine needs support.
Is PER4M Plant Protein dairy-free and soy-free?
Yes. The Plant Protein range is positioned as dairy-free and soy-free, making it a strong fit for vegan and dairy-free lifestyles.
Can I cook or bake with plant protein?
Yes. It works well in oats, smoothies, yoghurt-style bowls, and baking. Keep portions sensible and treat it as a protein boost rather than the main ingredient in everything.
