Q: What kind of protein do you use?
A: 
Grass Fed New Zealand whey isolate protein sourced from Fonterra (New Zealand dairy company) and a mix of pea protein isolate and canola protein isolate in our DEEPLEAF plant-based blends

Q: Why do you use pea protein isolate and canola protein isolate in your DeepLeaf™ plant-based protein products?
A: 
When we created our DEEPLEAF plant-based blends, we were aiming to deliver a product with a protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 1 - the same level of a high quality whey protein isolate. Click here to read more.

Q: Why do you use plant protein isolates in DeepLeaf™ blends?
A:
Plant-based isolates deliver the best amino acid levels and protein purity while avoiding the fibrous portions of the plant which result in much better tasting products, while also avoiding the grittiness for which plant-based products are notorious. Click here to read more.

Q: Can I Make Polar Joe with Hot Water instead of Cold?
A: Sure! Generally, any beverage 70C or lower will work well. The best way to mix is to use a milk frother. This creates a vortex that allows for the powder to immediately disperse.

Q: Is Polar Joe Packaging Sustainable?
A: At Polar Joe, one of our values is to tread lightly, and as such, we want to reduce the amount of garbage that gets sent to landfills. Over the years we have drastically reduced the amount of packaging by switching to large bags from the traditional canister. At this time our packaging is not recyclable but we have not stopped working to change that!

Q: When is the Best Time to Consume Polar Joe?
A: You can have it to power your morning meeting, before a workout, in the afternoon, or post workout. We also have low sugar and decaf varieties to fit your lifestyle. Find out how others are using Polar Joe in their daily lives in our Activity Guide.
