1. What’s in it?
The main protein sources are:
-
Pea protein isolate
-
Brown rice protein
-
Cocoa powder
-
Flavours
-
Pepzyme Pro — protease + probiotics
-
Hemicellulase
-
Sucralose (INS 955)
-
Food colour/stabilizers
The pea + brown-rice combination is intended to provide a more complete amino-acid profile than either source alone.
2. Protein per scoop
The manufacturer's current specification is:
26 g protein per serving, with approximately 4.6 g BCAAs and 4.8 g glutamine.
The recommended preparation is 1 heaping scoop in 300–350 ml water, shaken well. It can also be used in smoothies or foods.
3. Is it actually vegan?
Yes. The protein itself is plant-based, coming from pea and brown rice, and the product is marketed as 100% plant-based/vegan.
4. Benefits
For muscle gain: Good option if you struggle to reach your daily protein target. Protein plus resistance training is what matters—not the powder itself.
For recovery: 26 g protein after training is a useful dose for many people.
For vegetarians/vegans: Particularly convenient because it doesn't rely on whey or milk protein.
For digestion: It contains digestive enzymes and probiotics, and the manufacturer specifically formulates it to be easier on the stomach. That said, individual tolerance varies.
For weight loss: It can help because protein is filling, but it doesn't directly burn fat. Your overall calorie intake matters.
5. Any disadvantages?
A few things to consider:
-
It uses sucralose, so it isn't an entirely "minimal ingredient" product.
-
Plant protein can still cause gas/bloating in some people despite digestive enzymes.
-
Taste and texture are subjective.
-
If you're already getting plenty of protein from food, you may not need it.
-
Don't assume "26 g protein" means the product is 26 g protein by weight—the serving contains other ingredients too.
6. How much should you take?
For most adults using it as a supplement, 1 scoop/day is a sensible starting point.
You can use it:
-
after your workout,
-
with breakfast,
-
between meals, or
-
whenever you need help reaching your daily protein target.
The manufacturer's current guidance allows 1–2 scoops/day, depending on individual requirements.
For muscle building, I'd focus much more on your total daily protein than on whether you drink it immediately after training.
7. Is it good for muscle gain?
Yes, I'd rate it a good plant-protein option.
Its biggest positives are 26 g protein/serving + pea/rice blend + vegan formulation + digestive-enzyme/probiotic addition.
If you don't have a problem with dairy, however, I'd also compare it against a good whey protein before buying, because whey generally has a stronger amino-acid/leucine profile per gram and is often cheaper per gram of protein.
8. Current price
Prices vary substantially by seller and pack size. The official Fast&Up listing currently shows 1 kg at ₹1,620 and 500 g at ₹831 on sale.
Other current listings I found include roughly ₹1,279 for 500 g on Zepto and around ₹2,199 for 1 kg from another retailer, so it's worth comparing before ordering.
My verdict
Overall: 8/10 for a vegan protein powder.

Best for: someone who wants a convenient vegan/plant protein and doesn't tolerate or doesn't want whey.
If you tell me your age, weight, height, whether you're male/female, and goal (muscle gain / fat loss / both), I can calculate exactly how much protein you should eat per day and how many scoops of this Fast&Up you would need.
