How much protein is in Pea Protein Powder?

The amount of protein in pea protein powder largely depends on how refined the product is. For best results you should seek a “pea protein isolate” as isolates generally contain around 90% protein content. To check the protein content of your product you can review the “nutritional facts” label. The protein content per serve in grams as compared to the total grams per serve will reveal to you just how pure the pea protein powder is.

Example:

Serving Size 30g

Fat 0.5g
Cholesterol 0mg
Potassium 100mg
Sodium 110mg
Carbohydrate 2g
Protein 27g

To work out the protein content as a percentage, we divide the protein content by the serving size and then multiply by 100.

27g (protein) ÷ 30g (serving size) × 100 = 90%
