What it is

A plant protein blend is a mixture of proteins derived from various plant sources. These sources can include soy, peas, rice, hemp, and others. The proteins are typically extracted and purified from these plant materials.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use plant protein blends to increase the protein content of foods and beverages. They are often added to products like protein powders, bars, meat alternatives, and baked goods. Their neutral flavor and ability to emulsify or bind ingredients also make them versatile.

Health notes

Plant protein blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They provide essential amino acids, contributing to muscle health and satiety. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various individual plant proteins. Evidence generally supports the benefits of plant-based protein intake as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Depending on the specific plant sources used, a plant protein blend may contain or be derived from major allergens such as soy. It is not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or sesame. Gluten is not typically present unless cross-contamination occurs or a gluten-containing source is used.
