Yes, Queal is now completely vegan! All our products are 100% plant-based, making them suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
Our plant-based evolution: With our Steady 6.0 recipe update, we've transitioned to fully plant-based protein sources. We now use a carefully balanced mixture of fava bean, brown rice, and pea proteins. This combination maintains the complete amino acid profile you need whilst being entirely animal-free. We've ensured the same high bioavailability and digestibility as our previous recipes, with an even creamier texture than before.
Nutritional improvements: The move to plant-based hasn't compromised nutrition - in fact, we've enhanced it. Our current recipe is higher in protein and has a slightly lower glycaemic index than previous versions. We've updated everything to align with the latest EFSA nutritional recommendations whilst maintaining the great taste and convenience you expect from Queal.
Benefits for everyone: Whether you were already choosing plant-based options or previously enjoyed our whey-based products, you'll find the new recipe delivers the same satisfying meal experience. Former Athletic variant users get the same high protein levels at a lower price, whilst those who already chose our vegan options enjoy improved taste and texture with more flavour variety.
Environmental bonus: Being fully vegan means Queal now has an even lower environmental impact, saving approximately 850kg of CO2 per year compared to a meat-based diet. It's complete nutrition that's good for you and the planet.
