What is protein broth?

Protein broth is a savoury broth with added protein that you sip from a mug or use as a stock. The Healthy Chef Protein Broth is a powder made with organic Hemp Gold® protein, vegetable extracts, herbs and spices. Each 250mL cup gives you 5g to 5.5g of plant-based protein, plus fibre, magnesium and iron.

Unlike bone broth, which is simmered from animal bones for hours, our protein broth is completely plant-based and ready in a minute.

How to use protein broth

To sip: add 14g (about 1.5 tbsp) to a mug, pour in 250mL of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Wait 1 minute, then enjoy. Stir now and then, as some natural ingredients can settle.

To cook: stir the powder through soups, stews, sauces, risotto or grains after cooking, the way you would use a stock powder. Try it in Teresa's Minestrone with Seasonal Vegetables or browse all protein broth recipes.

Protein broth FAQs

How much protein is in protein broth?

Golden Protein Broth has 5.0g of protein per 250mL serve and Harvest Protein Broth has 5.5g. Each serve is 14g of powder (about 1.5 tbsp) made up with 250mL of boiling water.

Is protein broth the same as bone broth?

No. Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones. Our protein broth is plant-based, made with organic Hemp Gold® protein, vegetables, herbs and spices, so it contains no bones or animal protein.

Is your protein broth vegan?

Yes. Both Golden and Harvest Protein Broth are plant-based and vegan friendly. The chicken-style flavour in Golden comes from a natural flavour, not chicken.

Does Golden Protein Broth contain collagen?

No. Collagen comes from animals, so no plant ingredient contains it. Golden contains Vollagen®, a plant-based ingredient formulated with the same 18 amino acids found in human collagen. Harvest does not contain Vollagen®.

Is protein broth gluten free?

Yes. Both broths are gluten free, and free from GMOs, preservatives and artificial flavours or colours. Always check the label if you have an allergy, as ingredients can change.

When should I drink protein broth, morning or night?

Whenever suits you. Many people enjoy a mug mid-morning, in the afternoon instead of a snack, or as a warm drink in the evening.

Can I drink protein broth every day?

Yes, as part of a balanced diet. Follow the directions on the pack. Our broths contain salt, so if you are watching your sodium, check the nutrition panel. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a health condition, check with your healthcare professional.

How can I add more protein to broth?

Start with a protein broth, then add protein foods such as lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh or edamame. Our broth makes a savoury base for soups like these.

How much does protein broth cost per serve?

Each 252g pack ($29.95 RRP) makes 18 serves, which is about $1.66 per cup.
