Swap the staple, keep the bite.

In most meals the rice or noodles barely touch your protein target. ProTEGO® is the part of the bowl that counts.

    It tastes like soba

    Springy, with a bite that holds all the way through the bowl. It takes on whatever sauce or soup you cook it in.

  • ProTEGO® cooking in a broth, the pack on the counter

    Boil it and drain, or cook it straight in your soup or stock. It holds its shape, even the next day in a meal prep box.

How ProTEGO® is made from 2nd Life Ingredients

Our story

ProTEGO® means Protein Protects.

'Tego' is Latin for 'Protect', so ProTEGO® means Protein Protects. It protects your health with 31.9g of protein per 100g and a low GI, and protects the earth with upcycled 2nd Life ingredients, ingredients with no adverse climatic impact: protein made from oil meals, the solids left after oil is pressed, and fibre from sweet potato left over from potato noodle production.

It is the world’s only nutrient-dense noodle made with upcycled 2nd Life ingredients. KosmodeHealth calls the work #Waste2health.

The '0' in W0W® stands for two things: '0' Glycemic Spike, and '0' Waste, 2nd Life Ingredients.

The staple in most meals does nothing for your protein target, so every gram has to come from the meat, and by the third day of the same dish you are done with it. ProTEGO® is made to be the part of the meal that counts. It is an Asian noodle with 31.9g of protein and 12.7g of fibre per 100g, which is 25.5g and 10.2g in an 80g pack, built from four ingredients and nothing else. It cooks in five minutes, tastes like soba, and takes on whatever you cook it in, so the same pack is laksa on Monday and cold soba on Tuesday. Low GI, very low in sodium, no MSG, no preservatives, 100% plant-based.

What's inside

Four ingredients: highland green barley flour, gluten, peanut protein powder and sweet potato fibre powder. No MSG, no additives, no preservatives, 100% plant-based.

Per 80g pack: 25.5g protein, 10.2g fibre, 31.8g carbohydrate, 272 kcal. One pack is one serving.
Per 100g: 31.9g protein, 12.7g fibre, 39.7g carbohydrate, 3.2g sugar, 2.5g fat, 9.16mg sodium.

The protein is 2nd Life protein made from oil meals. The sweet potato fibre is a by-product of potato noodle production.

Contains gluten and peanut. Manufactured on shared equipment with soy and sesame.

How to cook it

Cook one 80g pack in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain, or cook it straight in the stock. Add an egg, a slice of fish or whatever protein you have, then a sauce or a soup: dashi, laksa, sesame and soy, pesto.

One pack cooks up to 2.4 times its dry weight, so it fills a bowl. Use it anywhere you would use soba, ramen, udon or spaghetti. It holds its shape through long cooking, and the next day in a meal prep box.

Rated 4.9 out of 5

Restaurants serve it as pasta, mee goreng, chicken noodle and soup. It takes on whatever you cook it in.

Got myself 30 packs of the dry noodles; each pack can actually last me for 2 meals as I have them with vegetables and chicken. Absolutely delicious way to add more protein into my daily intake... it tastes just like soba noodles.
Karen
The texture is firm but also bouncy and I like that it keeps you full for longer... A really good (and even tastier!) alternative to soba noodles.
Emma
Great texture to the noodles. Love that there is a bit of chewiness/bite to it. It serves as a good base for sauces too. Also rather filling!
Guo An
Texture of health product is artificial, like eating plastic, but ProTEGO® the texture is like hand make noodles. Very nice.

Keep the bowl. Change what it is made of.
