Our take

CleanPlate review

Plain pea protein isolate with high sodium

Nutrabay Pure Isolate Pea Protein is a single-ingredient powder, 1 kg in 30 servings of a 33 g heaping scoop.

CleanPlate scores it DC3. The D for nutrition is low: 77.9 g protein per 100 g, discounted for pea protein quality, with no fibre or micronutrients credited. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by pea protein isolate), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (814 mg per 100 g) and calories (389 kcal per 100 g).
