Nourish™

Everything You Need to Know

Can't find your answer? Reach out to our team — we're real people who actually use Nourish every day.

• Does it actually taste good, or is it another chalky plant protein?

  We hear this a lot — and we get it. Most plant proteins taste like cardboard. Nourish is different. 94% of our customers rate the taste 5 out of 5, and it consistently beats whey in blind taste tests. The Vanilla is smooth and creamy (think melted ice cream), and the Salted Caramel is rich and buttery with a toffee finish. No grit, no chalky aftertaste, no "healthy" flavour you have to choke down.

• Will it bloat me like whey protein does?

  No. Whey bloating comes from lactose and dairy — Nourish contains neither. It's 100% plant-based with zero dairy, zero lactose, and zero artificial sweeteners (which also cause bloating in many people). 97% of our customers report zero bloating. If you've been putting up with a puffy stomach after your shake, this will feel like a different world.

• Is Nourish free from the major allergens?

  Yes. Nourish is free from all 9 major allergens: dairy, gluten, soy, nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, sesame, and wheat. It's also free from artificial sweeteners, colours, fillers, and gums. We designed it so that virtually anyone can drink it safely — whether you have allergies, intolerances, or just want the cleanest protein possible.

• Is Nourish safe for kids?

  Nourish is made from whole food ingredients with no artificial anything — no artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours, or fillers. Many parents use it for their kids (especially fussy eaters or kids with allergies). That said, we always recommend checking with your child's paediatrician before adding any supplement to their diet, as protein needs vary by age and weight.

• Can I use Nourish while on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro)?

  Nourish is one of the most GLP-1 friendly proteins available. The biggest issue GLP-1 users face is muscle loss alongside fat loss — adequate protein intake helps protect lean muscle. Because Nourish is plant-based, allergen-free, and contains no artificial sweeteners or dairy, it's far gentler on the GI system than whey, which is critical when appetite and tolerance are reduced. Many of our GLP-1 customers say it's the only protein they can keep down.

• Is it a complete protein? Does it have all the amino acids?

  Yes. Nourish delivers all 9 essential amino acids your body needs for muscle repair, recovery, and growth — including a strong BCAA profile (leucine, isoleucine, valine). Pea protein isolate is one of the most complete plant protein sources available, and our formulation is optimised to match or exceed the amino acid profile of whey.

• How much protein per serve?

  20g of protein per serve from pea protein isolate. That's enough to support muscle protein synthesis in a single sitting, and it's the amount most nutritionists recommend per meal. One scoop, blended or shaken — that's it.

• Is Nourish compatible with my diet?

  Almost certainly. Nourish is vegan, keto-friendly, paleo-compatible, Whole30 approved, and halal. It's naturally low in carbs, contains zero sugar, and has no dairy, gluten, or soy. Whether you're doing intermittent fasting, calorie counting, or just eating clean — Nourish fits.

• Do you have a chocolate flavour?

  Not currently, but there's a hack our community swears by: mix one scoop of Nourish Vanilla with one scoop of S&J Healthy Kids. The Healthy Kids has a natural cacao base, and combined with the Vanilla, it creates a rich, creamy chocolate flavour — with the added bonus of extra vitamins and minerals. Thousands of customers do this daily.

• How do I use it? Can I cook or bake with it?

  The most popular way is a simple shake — one scoop with 250-300ml of water, milk, or plant milk, shaken or blended. It also works brilliantly in smoothies, overnight oats, protein balls, pancakes, and baking. Because it mixes so smoothly, there's no gritty texture even without a blender. Shake it in a bottle and you're good to go.

• What does NSF Certified mean?

  NSF International is an independent third-party testing organisation. An NSF certification means every batch is tested to verify the label matches what's actually in the tub — no hidden ingredients, no contamination, no banned substances. It's the same standard used by professional athletes and Olympic teams. Most supplement brands don't bother because it's expensive and time-consuming. We do it because you deserve to know exactly what you're putting in your body.

• Will Nourish help with sugar cravings?

  Many customers report that it does. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient — it keeps you full longer and stabilises blood sugar, which is what drives the afternoon crash-and-crave cycle. Because Nourish contains zero sugar and zero artificial sweeteners, you get the fullness benefit without spiking insulin. Blend one at 2-3pm and see what happens to your snack drawer.

• Can I use Nourish while pregnant or breastfeeding?

  Nourish is made from whole food ingredients with no artificial sweeteners, fillers, or nasties — so it's a cleaner protein choice than most. Many of our customers use it throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding to hit their increased protein needs. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before making any dietary changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

• How many serves are in each tub?

  30 serves per tub. At one serve per day, that's a full month's supply. Most customers go through a tub in 3-5 weeks depending on whether they have it daily or a few times a week.

• Does it taste good with just water?

  Yes — and this is where Nourish really stands out. Most plant proteins need milk or a banana to be palatable. Nourish tastes creamy and smooth with just water. Obviously it's even better with milk or in a smoothie, but if you're in a rush or tracking calories, water works perfectly. No chalky texture, no weird aftertaste.

• Is Nourish tested for heavy metals and contaminants?

  Yes. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury), pesticides, and microbial contaminants. This is part of our NSF certification process. Many plant proteins — especially those with rice protein or cacao — have been flagged for elevated heavy metal levels. We chose pea protein isolate partly because it has one of the lowest heavy metal profiles of any plant protein source, and we verify every batch independently.

• Is there a subscription option?

  Yes. You can subscribe and save — your tub ships automatically every 30, 60, or 90 days so you never run out. You can pause, skip, or cancel anytime with no lock-in contracts. Most of our repeat customers are subscribers because it's one less thing to think about.
