How much protein is in pea protein powder?

The amount of protein in pea protein powder can vary depending on the brand and formulation. On average, pea protein powder typically contains around 20-25 grams of protein per serving, making it a high-protein plant-based alternative to other protein sources. The protein content of pea protein powder can be even higher in some brands, with some products containing up to 80% protein. It's best to check the specific product label for the exact protein content.

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%
