Organic Whey Protein Banana & Lucuma
We've only used real bananas and a small amount of organic lucuma fruit, for a super healthy banana blend that surprisingly doesn't have a strong taste of banana, but in fact rather more malty and with subtle caramel notes. We've crammed the equivalent of one medium banana into each serving, so you're getting 15.88% of your recommended daily intake of Potassium and also a healthy amount of unprocessed carbohydrates too. This is perfect if you're looking to increase your carb intake, or if you just aren't on a carb-restricted diet..

Serving guidance
The easiest way to use our organic whey protein is to mix 37.5g with 300ml of water or milk (dairy or plant based) vigorously in a shaker for 30 seconds, or for 10 seconds in a blender.
37.5g is equivalent to approximately 90ml, which is equal to 0.38 cup, 5 tablespoons, 3 scoops, or of course you can also weigh on a set of kitchen scales for the best accuracy. Many people only have half a serving (18.8g or 45ml) as they don't need a lot of extra protein in their diet, so feel free to use less if this sounds like you.
Each 37.5g serving of contains 16.16g of protein, 15.7g of carbs and 0.9g of fat.

United KingdomGreat taste
Thank you! :-)
United KingdomLiked the protein shakes using this product. Smooth Nice taste. Still not clear what Lucuma is?
Thanks very much! We're fans of Banana & Lucuma too :-) Lucuma is a fruit which helps give our blend a malty taste, I hope that helps.
United KingdomQuite honestly these are the best protein shakes I have tried. I was looking for shakes without the ‘****’ in them. I don’t want to taste synthetic over sweetened synthetic mush. I’ve been a fan of these for over a year now and never disappointed. I’ve got my favourites of course.
Brilliant - thanks you for your kind words Liza! We love the malty notes of our Banana & Lucuma organic whey protein blend >3
United KingdomTastes pure and without any artificial aftertaste.Best on the market!!
Thank you very much :-)
United KingdomI like it, It's a little harder to blend smooth than the other flavours available but is still very tasty
Thanks very much Ellis :-)
United KingdomHaving read all the other reviews before buying I must admit I was really quite disappointed with the banana and Lucuma protein powder. I love banana so for me the flavour wasn’t strong enough…to be honest I couldn’t taste banana at all and the smell is actually really quite off putting. I even tried it whizzed up with a real banana but unfortunately this didn’t really improve the flavour. Maybe it’s just me as all the other reviews seem to be very positive regarding the flavour but for me I won’t be buying it again. I plan to try including it in a smoothie to see if i can use it up this way so as to not waste it.
I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying it Sarah, thank you for your feedback. It isn't for everyone, as it is more of a malty taste than banana, as a result of the banana being drum dried. The lucuma certainly adds to the malty/caramel-esque taste too. You are welcome to return the pack for a refund of course :-)
United KingdomQuality product which, as an athlete and coach, I both use and recommend
Fantastic - thank you so much Paul! We're very happy to hear that you are enjoying our banana & lucuma organic whey protein :-)
United KingdomThis is lovely - I’ve been making it up with coconut water and it’s really good. Quite malty and very subtle on the banana flavour. I’ll definitely be buying this again.
Amazing! Thanks Caroline :-) We're going to try making ours with coconut water too.
United KingdomAll the flavours are great, dissolve easily, delicious!
Thanks :-) We're really pleased to hear that you are enjoying our Banana & Lucuma organic whey protein blend. It is seriously delish!
United KingdomThis flavour's one of the few protein powders I actually actively enjoy. Since I tend to blend with milk and frozen bananas, I recommend adding some cocoa to balance it out and even a quarter cup water if it's too sweet. Perfect!
Brilliant, thank you so much Jack! Great cocoa top tip, we're giving it a try this morning :-)
