Macro Mike Peanut Plant Protein is a delicious protein powder built on roasted peanut protein with faba bean protein and pea protein, plus coconut milk powder for a creamy body, sweetened with coconut nectar, stevia, monk fruit and thaumatin. Peanut protein is the first ingredient, so it drinks like a thin peanut butter shake rather than a masked pea powder. Choose from eight flavours in 520 g and 1 kg bags, and shake a 40 g scoop into water or plant milk before or after training, or add one to a smoothie.

Product Strengths

A shake for before or after a training session, and a scoop that also goes into smoothies, oats and breakfast cereal.
Mixes into 225 to 250 mL of water or plant milk, without the grit of a plain pea powder.
24.5 g to 25.7 g of protein in a 40 g serve, depending on the flavour.
Peanut, faba bean and pea protein, with peanut protein leading the list.
Around 4 g of fibre a serve, and 50 mg of Probiotic LactoSpore (Bacillus coagulans), 1 billion CFU.
Eight flavours: Original Peanut Butter, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Hazelnut, Choc Peanut Butter Cup, Cookie Dough, Caramel Cinnamon Bun, Hawaiian Salted Vanilla and Peanut Butter Cheezecake.
Thirteen 40 g serves in the 520 g bag and twenty five in the 1 kg bag.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

Not suitable for: Anyone with a peanut allergy.

It is made in a facility that also handles products containing almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and soy.

Ingredients

The base is the same in every flavour:

Peanut Protein.
Faba Bean Protein.
Pea Protein.
Natural Flavours.
Coconut Milk Powder.
Coconut Nectar.
Guar Gum.
Himalayan Rock Salt.
Sweetener Blend (Stevia (Steviol Glycosides), Monk Fruit Extract, Thaumatin).
Probiotic LactoSpore (Bacillus coagulans).

Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Hazelnut and Choc Peanut Butter Cup add raw cacao. Caramel Cinnamon Bun adds cinnamon. Original Peanut Butter lists pea protein ahead of faba bean protein. Coconut nectar is an added sugar and the panel counts it, at 2.3 g to 2.7 g of sugars a serve.

Nutrition Information

Per 40 g serve, which is one scoop. The 520 g and 1 kg bags of a flavour carry the same per serve panel.

Plant Based Protein

Is plant protein as good as animal protein?

For strength gains, plant protein matches animal protein, and it's dairy-free. Soy has the strongest evidence, and pea and rice blends give you a fuller mix of amino acids.

Is Plant Based Protein right for you?

Most of the choice here comes down to which plant it's made from and what you need to avoid. These are the questions our naturopaths ask in store.

A good fit if

You're vegan or vegetarian and want a protein powder that suits you
You avoid dairy, whether because of lactose, a milk allergy or because whey doesn't agree with you
You're training and your meals aren't quite covering your protein
You need to avoid soy as well as dairy. A pea and rice blend is made for that

Check with us first if

You're pregnant or breastfeeding. We don't have confirmed safety data for plant protein powders in pregnancy, so it's worth a chat first.
It's for a child. The same gap applies, and we'd rather talk it through than guess.
You take prescription medicine. Interactions with plant protein powders haven't been confirmed, so check before you add one.
You also take a hemp seed oil product. Its label warns not to take it on the same day as other products containing hemp seed oil, including foods.
You take prescription medicine. Check with your doctor, pharmacist or our naturopaths before you start.

How the forms compare

Soy protein isolate. Best known for: The plant source that matched milk protein for muscle mass in the 2025 pooled review. Absorption: We don't have an absorption figure. What we have is an outcome: muscle mass wasn't significantly different from milk protein. Typical use: Training support if you want the plant option with the firmest evidence. It's also a major allergen, so it's out if you're allergic to soy.
Pea protein isolate. Best known for: The usual soy-free, dairy-free base, and tested head to head against whey during resistance training. Absorption: We don't have figures from the pea trials, so none is quoted. Typical use: Training support if you're avoiding both dairy and soy. Treat the pea evidence as promising but not yet measured here.
Rice protein, or oat, on its own. Best known for: The group that fell furthest behind animal protein for muscle mass in the pooled review. Absorption: No absorption figure here. The gap against animal protein was moderate to large. Typical use: Mostly the second half of a blend. On its own it's the weakest pick on the evidence we have.
Pea and rice blend. Best known for: The most common format on the shelf, pairing pea and rice because each fills the other's amino acid gaps. Absorption: Not measured here. One 2025 trial reported similar effects for a plant blend and an animal blend, but we don't have its numbers. Typical use: The standard pick if you're avoiding dairy and soy at once. It's one trial, not a meta-analysis, so it isn't settled.
Hemp protein. Best known for: Made from the seed meal, a different raw material from hemp seed oil. Absorption: No figure here. Its only two trials looked at blood sugar and fullness after a single serve, not muscle. Typical use: A wholefood-style option if you like it. There's no muscle trial behind it in the evidence we have.

Common questions

Is plant protein as good as whey for building muscle?

It depends on the plant. In a 2025 review of randomised trials, soy protein wasn't significantly different from milk protein for muscle mass, and strength gains were the same for plant and animal protein. Rice or oat protein on its own fell clearly behind. So if muscle size is your goal and you can have soy, soy is the plant option with the most evidence.

Why are so many plant proteins a pea and rice blend?

Because the two cover each other's gaps. Pea is relatively low in methionine and cysteine, and rice is relatively low in lysine, so blending them gives you a fuller mix of amino acids than either alone. One 2025 trial found a plant blend performed similarly to an animal blend during strength training. That's a single trial, though, and we don't have its detailed numbers.

Is hemp protein powder the same as hemp seed oil?

No. They come from the same seed but they're different products. The TGA's rules for hemp seed oil, including the 36 g daily limit and the warning against use in children under 2, apply to the oil. Hemp protein powder is made from the seed meal and is normally sold here as a food.

How much, and when

Reference values. We don't give a figure here. The Australian reference tables we use cover vitamins and minerals but not protein, so we'd rather leave it out than quote a number we can't source. What you need depends on your weight, your age and how much you train.

Typical supplemental range. Follow the serve on the tub. We don't have the trial doses, so there's no trial dose we can point you to, and serve sizes vary a lot between brands and blends.

Upper level. We don't know of one, and there's no daily limit on pea, soy, rice, pumpkin or sunflower seed as permitted ingredients. The 36 g daily limit you might read about applies to hemp seed oil, not hemp protein powder.

Worth knowing. A powder tops up what you eat rather than replacing meals. What you need depends on your age, diet and health, so talk to one of our naturopaths.

Before you start

If any of these sound like you, talk to one of our naturopaths or your doctor before you start.

Soy allergy. Soy protein is a recognised major food allergen. Strictly avoid any powder containing soy.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding. We have no verified safety data, so check with a practitioner first.
Children. We have no verified safety data, so check with a practitioner first.
Prescription medicines. Drug interactions haven't been verified, so check with a practitioner or pharmacist first.
If you use hemp seed oil. The TGA warning on the oil says not to take it on the same day as other hemp seed oil products, including food sources.
If you take prescription medicines, check with your doctor, pharmacist or our naturopaths before you start.

The evidence, and its limits

Pooled across 14 trials, strength gains showed no significant difference between plant and animal protein. (DOI record)
In that 2025 meta-analysis, soy protein and milk protein weren't significantly different for muscle mass. (DOI record)
Pooled across every plant source, plant protein still built a little less muscle than animal protein. (DOI record)
Rice and oat protein on their own fell furthest short, a moderate-to-large gap against animal protein. (DOI record)
That muscle gap was larger in adults under 60 than in adults aged 60 and over. (DOI record)
Pea, hemp and blend trials exist, but we don't have their results, so no numbers are quoted.

How it works

It's protein, doing the same job as any other protein powder: your body breaks it down into amino acids and uses them to build its own proteins, including muscle. Where plants differ is the mix of amino acids each one brings. Pea is relatively low in methionine and cysteine, and rice is relatively low in lysine, so putting the two together covers each one's gap. That's why so many tubs on the shelf are a pea and rice blend. The source shows up in the results too. In the largest review of the research, soy performed like milk protein for muscle mass, while rice and oat on their own fell well short.

The Australian rules

Plant protein powders are normally sold in Australia as foods, so they're covered by the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code rather than medicine law. That's why the pack carries a nutrition information panel and allergen labelling, not a TGA-regulated claim. The plants themselves are allowed in listed medicines: pea at item 3727, Pisum sativum at 3943, soy protein at 4692, Glycine max at 2414, rice at 4342, Oryza sativa at 3627, pumpkin at 4221 and sunflower seed at 4818. There's no Schedule 1 entry for pea, rice, hemp, pumpkin seed or sunflower seed protein as a protein powder you take by mouth. That's normal for a food, and it isn't a ban. Hydrolysed rice and hydrolysed soy protein are listed too, but only for use on the skin at very low concentrations, so they don't cover a protein you drink. If a powder were ever sold as a listed medicine, its wording would have to come from the permitted indications, which include wordings such as "Aid/assist muscle development". Being allowed isn't the government endorsing any product or claim.

Read the instrument: Schedule 1, item 2414.
