What's actually in a serving.
A proper vegan protein, built on two plant sources that complement each other: Tendra® fava bean protein isolate and YESTEIN™ fermented nutritional yeast protein. Fava bean is high in most amino acids but low in methionine; the fermented yeast fills that gap — so together they make a complete protein, which many single-source plant powders aren't.
20 g protein
Per serving, from fava bean and fermented yeast — a complete plant protein with all nine essential amino acids, not just most of them. Dairy-free and soy-free, at 110 calories.
The honest note on plant protein: it's a little earthier and less silky than whey. This is about as smooth as plant gets, but if you want the lightest texture, whey isolate is smoother.

Ingredients: Tendra® Fava Bean Protein Isolate, Natural Flavors, YESTEIN™ Fermented Nutritional Yeast Protein, MCT Oil Powder, Apple Pectin Powder, Sea Salt, Stevia Extract (leaf), Silicon Dioxide.
Fava bean alone is short on methionine; fermented yeast makes up the difference. Together they're a complete protein — which most single-plant powders aren't.
Fermentation makes the yeast protein easier to digest and adds a savoury depth — an unusual but genuinely useful plant-protein source.
The evidence
What holds up — and the honest note on texture.
A genuinely complete plant protein — sold without pretending it's identical to whey. Here's the split.
A complete plant protein, real dose
Fava bean plus fermented yeast covers all nine essential amino acids, and 20 g is a genuine serving. For a dairy-free protein, this is a well-built one.
Plant vs whey for muscle
Plant proteins are a little lower in leucine than whey, which some research ties to slightly less muscle-building punch gram-for-gram. In practice, at 20-plus grams a serving and across a day, that gap is small for most people.
It's not "creamy as milk"
No plant protein is as silky as whey isolate. This is about as smooth as plant gets, but claiming otherwise would be overselling. Honest expectations, honest product.
A complete vegan protein at a real dose — we'll tell you it's a touch earthier than whey rather than pretend it's identical. That's the standard.
Our standard
How to use it
Two scoops. Blended.
Two scoops, well blended
Shake or blend 2 scoops into water, a plant milk or a smoothie. 20 g of protein, 110 calories.
Give it a little extra liquid
Plant protein likes more liquid and a good shake — it smooths out the texture.
Great in a smoothie
Blended with fruit or nut butter, the earthier note disappears and it shines.
This is the honest vegan pick. The fava-and-yeast pairing makes it a genuinely complete protein at a real 20 g dose — dairy-free and soy-free. The one thing we won't pretend: it's a touch earthier and less silky than whey. About as smooth as plant gets, best in a smoothie. If texture is everything to you, the whey isolates are creamier.
Before you buy
Who should check first.
This is vegan and dairy-free, so the safety notes are milder than the whey proteins. The main things worth knowing are texture and a couple of sensitivities.
Check first if you:
- Have a legume allergy — it's built on fava bean; skip it if you react to legumes.
- Have favism (G6PD deficiency) — fava beans can be a problem with this condition; check with your doctor.
- Have kidney disease — discuss high total protein intake with your doctor.
- Are pregnant or nursing — protein powder is generally fine, but check if unsure.
A plant protein from fava bean and fermented yeast, sweetened with stevia. No dairy, no soy. The two things to note: it's fava-based (a legume), and the texture is a touch earthier than whey — both covered above.
Straight answers
Plant Protein questions, answered.
What's the protein source?
Two plants that complete each other: Tendra® fava bean protein isolate and YESTEIN™ fermented nutritional yeast protein — together a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, at 20 g a serving.*
Is it actually a complete protein?
Yes. Fava bean is short on methionine on its own; the fermented yeast fills that gap, so the blend covers all nine essential amino acids — which many single-source plant proteins don't.
How does it compare to whey?
It's the vegan option. Whey is a touch higher in leucine and silkier in texture; this is dairy-free and complete, at a real 20-plus-gram dose. Across a day, the muscle-building difference is small for most people.
What does it taste and feel like?
A little earthier and less silky than whey — about as smooth as plant protein gets, but not “creamy as milk.” It's great in a smoothie.
Is it soy-free?
Yes — it's fava bean and yeast, no soy and no dairy. Skip it if you have a legume allergy or favism (G6PD deficiency).
How do I take it?
Two scoops blended into water, a plant milk or a smoothie. A little extra liquid and a shake help the texture.
Our standard
Why we stock it.
A complete vegan protein done well — fava bean and fermented yeast, 20 g — sold with the texture told straight.
Plenty of plant proteins are single-source and incomplete, then oversold as "just like whey." This one is a genuinely complete fava-and-yeast blend at a real dose — and we'll tell you it's a little earthier than whey rather than pretend otherwise. The honest vegan pick. That's the whole business.
