In Phuket and looking to buy organic plant based protein powders to add to your smoothie, vegan protein shake, fruit juice, or for a Bangtao area bar, café or restaurant that offers organic plant based protein powder on its drinks menu around the Bangtao, 
Surin beach, Laguna or Cherngtalay area on Phuket island? If so visit La QingTing, Phuket ( Bang Tao Beach Bar & Café ) and enjoy an instant health kick with our plant based protein powder smoothies, juices or drinks.
A little about plant based protein powders: Vegan protein powders are made of protein sourced from plants — think Organic Pea protein and Hemp seed powders, which are all compleate protein powders. Plant based protein powder are not animal and dairy based ingredients like whey or casein. Best of all, unlike whey, our main plant based protein powders are all saturated fats, Cholesterol and sodium free. Also the above mentioned contain all nine essential amino acids.
Protein powder made from plants is helpful for people who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies, and some people just find the plant-based protein powders easier to digest, even if they aren’t lactose intolerant. Finally, you might consider a plant-based protein powder just because of the nutrients they can add to your diet, and more importantly plant-based protein sources tend to be more nutrient-dense, without any cholesterol and very low or no saturated fats, which is a good thing.
Our plant-based Phuket protein powder blend are also rich in essential nutrients that are vital for good health, and these nutrients support our immune system and reduce inflammation. These include high amounts of Protein, Fibre, Calcium, Iron, all B vitamins, Potassium, and even Omega 3 & 6 to name a few.
List of Phuket protein powders
Some of the below are not classed as actual complete protein powders, even thought they have all nine amino acids, due to they are low in some essential amino acids like lysine and sulfur amino acids (EAAs) but they are still a very good source of plant protein, vitamins and minerals.
Organic Pea Protein Powder
Source: Made from yellow split peas.
Protein Content: About 20-25 grams of protein per serving.
Benefits: Pea protein is rich in essential amino acids, except methionine. It is easily digestible and has been shown to support muscle growth and repair.
Considerations: Pea protein can have a slightly earthy flavour, which some people might find off-putting. It blends well in smoothies and is often combined with other protein sources to balance its amino acid profile.
Our pea protein is made by high-quality yellow pea. This protein is light yellow fragrant, with over 80% protein content and 18 kinds of amino acids, and without cholesterol. It is dairy & gluten free, and has no trans fats, hydrogenated oil or GMO. Pea proteins also contain all nine essential amino acids + rich in BCAAs, Iron, Potassium and Vitamin D (D2 + D3). Pea protein is especially rich in the essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine, which help fuel working muscles and stimulate your body to make muscle protein. The macronutrient ratio for protein, carbohydrates and fat from calories is: 26:69:5.
Common Names: Pea protein isolate, pea protein concentrate Latin Name: Protein from Pisum sativum Appearance: Fine light beige to yellow powder Flavor Profile: Distinctly beany/earthy taste HS Code: Usually classified under 2106.10

Hemp and acerola cherry powder details coming soon
Our Organic Plant Based Powder Blend
We have tried and tested many blends of plant based protein and nutrient based powders, and we have found that one scoop (15g) or two scoops (30g) of blended organic pea protein, hemp, sea buckthorn, and acerola cherry powder is an excellent, nutrient-dense choice, particularly for vegans, those seeking highly digestible plant-based nutrition, or those looking to add functional antioxidants to their diet.
While 15g is a moderate amount of protein (often lower than a standard 30g scoop), the combination of these four ingredients offers a superior nutritional profile compared to single-source plant proteins. If you are searching for more protein and nutrients then we suggest 2 scoops.
Breakdown of why this specific 15g blend is beneficial:
Pea Protein: High in amino acids necessary for muscle repair, particularly arginine and lysine.
Hemp Protein: Provides all 9 essential amino acids (complete protein), along with omega-3 & 6,magnesium, iron, and zinc.
Sea Buckthorn is packed with Vitamin C (high antioxidant levels), Vitamin E, omega-3, -6, and -9, and carotenoids.
Acerola Cherry: An exceptionally potent source of natural Vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
Other Key Health Benefits
Immune System Support: Due to high natural Vitamin C from both sea buckthorn and acerola.
Digestive Health: High fiber content helps promote a healthy gut.
Muscle Maintenance: The combination provides a complete protein source, ideal for vegans or vegetarians.
Anti-inflammatory & Cardiovascular Support: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from hemp.
Probiotics: Water kefir typically contains a wide variety of 8–10 billion CFU of beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacillus) and yeast, supporting gut health and immune system.
Gut Health: Probiotics from water kefir and fiber from hemp/sea buckthorn.
Estimated Nutritional Breakdown
Nutrient – Estimated Amount (per 15g) – Key Source(s)
** Protein Note: In a 15g scoop of our blended mix there is around 8g of protein, which is fine if you are just drinking our smoothies for gerneral health, or a snack replacment. Two scoops offers around 14.5g of protein. The recomended protein serving for a meal replacment is between 20-30g per meal, therefore, if you are looking for more protein we suggest 3 scoops, which will get you to around 21g–23g of protein.
To be clear, one scoop (15g) of our blend is enough for a satisfying, high-protein snack. While it is a bit light to be a full meal protein replacement, it acts as a very nutritious, nutrient-dense smoothie, especially given the blend of pea, hemp, and added superfruits.
Allergies and Sensitivities
While the protein powders listed (pea, brown rice, hemp, pumpkin) and superfoods (sea buckthorn) are generally considered hypoallergenic and are popular plant-based alternatives to dairy or soy, they can still cause allergic reactions or intolerances in sensitive individuals.
Here is a breakdown of potential allergies and sensitivities for each, based on search results:
Pea Protein Powder: While rare, pea protein can cause allergic reactions, particularly in people with existing legume allergies (soy, peanuts). It is becoming more common as the use of pea-based ingredients rises. Symptoms include hives, swelling of the lips/tongue, vomiting, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis.
Intolerance: More common than an allergy, it can cause bloating and gas, especially if it is not a high-quality isolate.
Hemp Protein: Allergy: Generally considered safe, but potential exists for people with existing cannabis allergies. Some evidence suggests potential cross-reactivity with hazelnuts.
Side Effects: High fiber content can cause gastrointestinal discomfort if overconsumed.
Superfoods & Botanicals Allergy: Sea Buckthorn and Acerola Cherry: While not common allergens, these high-antioxidant, vitamin-rich fruits can trigger individual sensitivities.
Recommendation If you have known food allergies, especially to legumes, nuts, or seeds, it is crucial to consult an allergist before consuming our protein powders containing these ingredients. They can perform appropriate testing (skin prick tests or blood tests) to determine your specific risk profile and provide guidance on safe consumption.
Plant based Protein Power Notes
All our Phuket protein powders are all plant based, dairy and gluten free, and have no trans fats, bulking agents, fillers, hydrogenated oil, added sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavouring or GMO. Our Phuket mentioned protein powders all, or almost all essential amino acids, and all offer high amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fibre. Our plant based protein powders are also safe for those with dairy allergies, are lactose intolerance, and all support a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle while still providing plant-based protein sources.
Due to we try to avoid any ingredients that are not plant based, and ones that are high in trans fats, saturated fats, allergens, processed carbohydrates, salt and cholesterol, for health reasons, we do not offer Whey, Soy or similar type protein powders as an health option. Also, even though, per tablespoon, ‘Green Spirulina’ has around 24g of Iron and 7g of protein it also has 116gm of salt (sodium) so for this reason we do not offer ‘Green Spirulina’ as an option.
Our Protein Powder Effects on Blood Pressure
The daily consumption of a 15g protein blend combined with water kefir constitutes a nutrient-dense, plant-based regimen that may support blood pressure management through multiple mechanisms.
Based on studies of its individual components, this combination is likely to assist in lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, particularly in individuals with prehypertension or mild hypertension.
Components of the Blend and Their Benefits
Hemp Protein & Pea Protein: Hemp protein contains high levels of arginine, an amino acid that produces nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax and dilate blood vessels. Both pea and hemp proteins contain bioactive peptides produced during digestion, which have been shown to act as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, reducing high blood pressure.
Sea Buckthorn: Rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C and carotenoids, sea buckthorn helps reduce oxidative stress and cholesterol levels, which can contribute to better cardiovascular health.
Acerola Cherry Powder: Provides a concentrated source of natural vitamin C, which is known to help improve endothelial function.
Water Kefir: As a probiotic beverage, water kefir promotes beneficial gut bacteria. Studies on probiotic kefir have shown it can reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and decrease high blood pressure by attenuating the gut-brain-axis connection involved in hypertension.
Summary of Potential Blood Pressure Benefits
Reduction in Hypertension Risk: Regular consumption of plant-based proteins has been linked to a lower risk of hypertension, with studies suggesting that for every 15g to 30g grams of plant-based protein consumed per day, the risk can decrease by 16% and up.
Mild Hypertension Management: Studies indicate that hemp seed protein and its bioactive peptides can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with some studies showing reductions of 3.5 and 2.98 mmHg, respectively.
Improvement in Endothelial Function: The combined antioxidant and probiotic effects (from Sea Buckthorn, Acerola, and Water Kefir) help improve the health of the lining of blood vessels, which can improve overall vascular function.
General BP Considerations When Using Our Phuket Protein Powders
A) Plant-based benefits: Generally, increasing intake of plant-based proteins may lower the risk for hypertension compared to animal proteins. Sodium content: Always check the nutrition label for sodium content, as some protein powders can have high levels which could negatively impact blood pressure. B) Hydrolysates: Protein hydrolysates (partially digested proteins) often show stronger blood pressure-lowering effects in studies, likely because the beneficial peptides are more readily available for absorption. C) Adjunct therapy: These powders are best considered as an adjunct to a healthy diet and lifestyle, not a replacement for prescribed blood pressure medication.
Please use the above just as a guide to using our protein powders while on BP medication, or concult your Doctor.
