Made in NZThe best-value 1kg pea protein in New Zealand.
23g of plant protein, all 9 essential amino acids, naturally sweetened with Thaumatin.
Made only with natural ingredients
The best-value 1kg pea protein in Aotearoa. 23g of plant protein per serve, all 9 essential amino acids, and naturally sweetened with Thaumatin, not sucralose. 85% pea isolate purity, no proprietary blend, no fillers, no artificial anything. Dairy-free, gluten-free, made for the work.
Pea Protein Isolate (85%), Natural Colour, Natural Flavour, Natural Sweetener (Thaumatin). That's it. Made in New Zealand.
Thaumatin is a sweetener extracted from the katemfe fruit — naturally sweet, no sugar, no sucralose, no aspartame.
Standard: Two scoops (30g) in 250ml of water, plant milk, or smoothie.
Post-session: Within 30 minutes of finishing the work.
Daily target: Aim for 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight across the day, split across meals.
Texture: Shake in a bottle for 10 seconds — Thaumatin needs a few seconds longer than sucralose powders to dissolve fully.
See the Nutrition section below for the full panel. Per 30g serve (2 scoops): 489 kJ / 116 kcal, 23.3g protein, 4.5g BCAAs, 1.8g carbs (0.1g sugar), 0.3g fat, 350mg sodium. All 9 essential amino acids present.

Best pea, best price
Most plant proteins compromise somewhere. Lower protein content, cheap sucralose finish, or 'proprietary blend' hiding what's actually in the scoop. KYRO Pea takes the other road. 85% pea isolate, naturally sweetened, every gram of every amino acid on the panel, and priced as the best-value 1kg bag in Aotearoa.
23g of pea protein per serve at 85% isolate purity. Most plant proteins on the shelf land at 18–20g per serve with 70–75% purity — KYRO gives you more grams of actual protein per scoop.
Sweetened with Thaumatin — a natural sweetener from the katemfe fruit. Not sucralose, not aspartame, not stevia aftertaste. The only pea protein in the country sweetened this way.
All 9 essential amino acids present and disclosed on the panel — including 1180mg leucine, 2120mg isoleucine, and 1850mg lysine per serve. Plant protein with nothing missing.
Into the routine
KYRO Pea is built to slot into the routine you already have. Shake in water on the way home from a session, blend into a smoothie before a long ride, or bake into your morning oats. 23g of clean plant protein wherever the day needs it.
The complete profile
Pea protein gets called "incomplete" by people who haven't read a recent panel. Here's what's actually in a KYRO scoop — all nine essential amino acids, every gram disclosed, no proprietary anything.
The three BCAAs that drive muscle protein synthesis. 2120mg leucine, 1180mg isoleucine, 1270mg valine per serve — 4.5g of total BCAAs, the dose research keeps coming back to for recovery.
Pea protein is naturally rich in lysine — the amino acid most plant sources are short on. 1850mg per serve, comfortably above what the research calls a sufficient daily dose for an active adult.
Pea is lighter on methionine than whey. We disclose the exact figure on the panel — most brands round it off or hide it in a blend. Pair with whole grains or seeds across the day if you train on plant protein exclusively.
Pea Protein Isolate (85%), Natural Colour, Natural Flavour, Natural Sweetener (Thaumatin). Read the label on any other 1kg pea protein in the country — count the ingredients, then count the question marks.
What's in the scoop
Most pea proteins bury the amino profile in fine print and finish the powder with sucralose to mask the bean taste. Here's the full picture for one 30g serve — every gram, every milligram, every ingredient on the front.

Thaumatin is a sweetener extracted from the katemfe fruit — naturally sweet, used by the food industry for decades, no aftertaste, no chemical finish. Every other 1kg pea protein on the NZ shelf uses sucralose or stevia. We don't. It's a small detail that changes what's actually going in your body each day.
Side by side
The pea protein shelf is full of 18g-per-serve bags finished with sucralose and a 'plant protein blend' label. Here's how a serve of KYRO Pea stacks up against what's typically sitting next to it.
Plant-based, performance-built
Plant protein has come a long way from chalky beanwater. KYRO Pea is built for the same crew the rest of the range is — Hyrox athletes, triathletes, lifters, runners — who want their post-session protein to do the job without the dairy. Same gram targets, same dose discipline, plant base.
Why we made it
"They told me I'd never run again. So I did.
KYRO is what that journey built,
because I ran."
Two ACL tears and a year I almost lost. I built KYRO between recovery and the Ironman 70.3 World champs start line. For everyone making their own version of that journey. Chasing a podium, or just showing up for yourself.
Reviews
Switched from a UK brand that was costing me $90 for 1kg and finished with sucralose. KYRO is cheaper, mixes better, and the natural sweetener doesn't leave that fake aftertaste. Won't go back.
I switched off whey last year because of the bloat after long sessions. This goes down clean, hits 23g without effort, and I can train again 90 minutes later without feeling stuffed. Game changer.
Most pea proteins are gritty. This one is the smoothest plant protein I've shaken in a bottle — even in cold oat milk. The berry flavour is subtle, not sickly.
FAQ
Yes — KYRO Pea contains all 9 essential amino acids, every one disclosed on the panel. Pea is naturally lighter on methionine than whey, which we list at 157mg per serve. If you train exclusively on plant protein, pairing your shakes with whole grains, seeds, or eggs across the day covers any gap easily.
Thaumatin is a sweetener extracted from the katemfe fruit, a West African plant. It's been used in the food industry for decades, has no caloric impact, and crucially — it's a natural protein, not a synthetic chemical like sucralose or aspartame. Every other 1kg pea protein in the country sweetens with sucralose or stevia. We chose Thaumatin because it tastes cleaner and it's the right call for what goes into your body daily.
Whey is faster-absorbing and slightly higher in BCAAs gram-for-gram. Pea is gentler on digestion, has zero dairy, and is naturally rich in lysine and arginine. For most people the difference in muscle protein synthesis is marginal — what matters most is hitting your daily protein target. If you bloat on whey, find dairy slows you down, or just prefer plant, pea is the answer with no real downside.
We sell direct, we manufacture locally, and we don't pay for retail shelf space. Compare the per-gram cost of KYRO Pea to any 1kg pea protein on the NZ market — supermarket, health store, or competing DTC brand — and you'll find we're the lowest. You're getting more pea per dollar, and a better label too.
Pea protein is one of the gentlest proteins on the gut — no lactose, no whey, no soy. Some people experience mild gas in the first week as their gut adjusts, but it usually settles fast. If you're sensitive, start with a single scoop and build up.
