Macro Mike Premium Almond Protein
The knock on plant protein has always been texture — thin, chalky shakes that need masking rather than enjoying. Macro Mike Premium Almond Protein takes a different route, pairing almond protein with Australian-grown faba bean protein to build a shake that pours thick and finishes clean. The almond base sits back rather than dominating, which means flavours come through true instead of fighting a nutty aftertaste.

What Is Almond Protein?
Almond protein is produced by pressing the oil from almonds and milling the remaining meal into a fine, protein-dense flour. Almonds naturally carry fibre, vitamin E, magnesium and healthy fats, and a portion of that nutritional profile carries through into the finished powder alongside the protein itself.
What makes almond useful as a protein base is what it doesn't do. Where pea and rice proteins are known for a distinct earthy or chalky character, almond is comparatively mild and contributes fat that gives the shake a creamy body. That neutrality is why this range handles dessert-style flavours so well — there's less base flavour to work around.
Faba bean protein is blended in to round out the amino acid profile and improve mixability. Faba bean is a legume protein with a fuller amino acid spread than almond alone, and it disperses well in liquid, which helps the powder shake out smooth rather than clumping. Together the two cover each other's gaps: almond handles texture and taste, faba bean handles the nutritional and functional side.
The formula is finished with Lactospore®, a spore-forming probiotic strain chosen because it stays stable in a dry powder through storage, and B vitamins derived from sprouted quinoa, which contribute to normal energy metabolism.
How To Use
Mix one 40g scoop or sachet with 220–250ml of water or plant-based milk. Shake or blend well and drink straight away. Almond milk works especially well if you want a thicker, richer shake.
Premium Almond Protein also folds easily into smoothies, oats and yoghurt alternatives, and holds up in baking, pancakes and protein balls for an extra hit of protein.
