Each 33 g scoop delivers ~25 g of protein. That’s a 76% protein concentration. This is high compared to many plant-based powders (typically 45–70%) and rivals many whey blends (70–80%).

A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid which improve muscle mass and performance and may reduce muscle damage from exercise. There are three BCAAs: Leucine, isoleucine and valine.
A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid which improve muscle mass and performance and may reduce muscle damage from exercise. There are three BCAAs: Leucine, isoleucine and valine.
Each scoop gives 3.8 g of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine), the key amino acids associated with muscle repair, recovery and energy after workouts.
That means you get more than just raw protein, you get targeted, performance-supporting nutrition.
Most plant proteins average 2.0–3.0 g of BCAAs per serving
Whey protein typically offers ~4.5 g
At 3.8 g, our lupine protein sits well above the majority of plant proteins and close to whey, giving you high-performance amino support without the heaviness or digestive issues common with dairy-based powders.

Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both the amino acid requirements of humans and their ability to digest it.
The PDCAAS rating was adopted by the US FDA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) in 1993 as "the preferred 'best'" method to determine protein quality.

PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score) is the gold-standard measure of how well your body digests and absorbs protein.
The highest possible score is 1.0. That’s what top animal proteins like whey reach.
Our lupine protein scores ~0.9, which means your body absorbs and uses the amino acids extremely well.
For a plant-based protein, this is exceptional, and much higher than most plant powders on the market (typically 0.5–0.7).

No added sugar. We sweeten with natural stevia, and a small amount of sucralose to round out the flavor.
Stevia is a sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana native to Paraguay and Brazil.
The plant has been used for centuries by the Guaraní people of South America. The leaves have been used traditionally for hundreds of years in both Paraguay and Brazil to sweeten local teas, and as a "sweet treat".

Lupine bean itself is bitter, not something you would eat raw and therefore you will not find it in the supermarket. That's why our laboratory works hard to develop the most exquisite flavors you will ever try.

Protein itself doesn’t cause weight loss, but it can support a healthy weight-management routine.
Because protein helps keep you full longer and stabilizes energy, many people find it easier to manage cravings and maintain balanced meals when they include a high-quality protein source.
Our lupine protein is low in sugar, high in protein, and easy to digest, which makes it a helpful part of a balanced diet, but it isn’t a weight-loss product.

Not usually. Lupine isn’t a common supermarket ingredient, which is why many people have never tried it. Our lupine comes from Patagonia, where it grows naturally and sustainably, and is processed into a clean, high-protein isolate that’s not available in typical retail stores.

Lupine is a low-impact, soil-friendly crop. It:
- Does not require irrigation, relying on natural rainfall
- Acts as a rotation crop, helping to fix nitrogen in the soil
- Improves soil fertility, protects against erosion, and supports moisture retention
That means growing lupine can actually help regenerate and protect the land, rather than depleting it.

Since our products are hand-filled in a sterile facility, a small amount of powder can settle on the outside of the packaging. As long as the inner seal is intact, the product is completely safe to use.

The pale yellow color comes naturally from the lupine isolate, which is made from yellow lupine beans. We don’t use artificial colors or dyes. What you see is just the natural hue of the plant.

Simple Shake: Mix one scoop (33 g) with about 12 fl oz (≈350 ml) of water or milk of your choice, then blend for 30 seconds. Add ice if you like it chilled.
We also share recipes so you can get creative in the kitchen with your Patagonia Proteins.

Any milk works. For a lighter, cleaner shake, we recommend unsweetened non-dairy milks like almond or coconut, especially since the powder is already sweetened with stevia.
