Our plant-based 'chicken' shred is made right here in Australia. Our product is based on seitan, a meat alternative made using the protein in wheat that has been made for over 1,000 years. Wheat is naturally contains approximately 13% protein and 70% carbohydrates. As the carbohydrates are mostly water-soluble, they can be washed away. Using these simple principles, we can concentrate the naturally abundant plant-based protein into a product that before hydration is approximately 70% protein.

100% Australian wheat
nutritional yeast for umami,
soy sauce powder for depth of flavour
corn flour to help with moisture absorption
salt for taste

Our soy sauce powder is dried on a simple sugar (maltodextrin) and an inert mineral (silicon dioxide) that allows us to increase shelf life without chemical preservatives. If your powder sticks together, it's still good to eat; it just needs a little extra stirring.

If you've got gluten sensitivities, this isn't the product for you.

100% Plant-based protein (Compared to chicken: 70% less greenhouse gases, 80% less water and land usage, no animal cruelty)
100% Australian wheat (Australian-owned and made)
100% Recyclable and/or compostable and plastic-free packaging (including labels and glues)

Why bother

Beats the supermarket plant ‘meats’

✓ 25g protein per serve
Before hydration it’s roughly 70% protein. Real fuel, not a filler.

✓ 1% fat, low carb

No pan, no oil, no cooking skill. Stir, wait five minutes, eat.

✓ 100% Australian wheat
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

✓ Plant-based, dairy-free, nut-free
One honest protein that plays nice with most of the table.

✓ Travels light
Dried and shelf-stable, so it posts through your letterbox and packs for camp.

Not TVP. Not tofu. Washed wheat.

Our shred is seitan, a wheat protein people have made for over a thousand years. Wheat is about 13% protein and 70% carbohydrate. Those carbs are water-soluble, so we wash them away and concentrate what’s left into something that’s roughly 70% protein before it ever hits your bowl.

It’s made in small batches in Western Sydney from 100% Australian wheat. We blend the flavour ourselves. No softeners, no preservatives, no artificial nasties. If ‘plant-based chicken’ bothers anyone, it says plant-based right on the front. You’ll be fine.

1,000-year-old method. Zero factory shortcuts.

Wash the wheat → concentrate the protein → season → shred → stamp the bag by hand.

The fine print, un-fine-printed

Lighter on the planet. Not preachy about it.

Customers praised this plant-based protein for its great taste, texture, and ease of preparation. "So easy to prepare and tastes great," said one reviewer. Many love its versatility in meals and ability to absorb flavors. The high protein content and compostable packaging were highlights. Some found the seasoning too unusual or the product clumpy to remove from packaging.

I read all the reviews but it's still way better than I thought it would be. The taste is great just on it's own, so all you need is hot water from the flask and you have a great meal. The texture is fantastic and will satisfy anyone. Cruelty-free, high protein, super-easy - highly recommend.

Hi Linda! What a review! Thanks for sharing, and so glad you loved it! Stay strong, Matt (Founder!)

This stuff is amazing! Ive created 2 unique meals woth it so far and it is super easy to use and takes on the flavours of whatever you cook it with. It is nice to have another quick easy plant based high protein source to use in my arsenal for when I am sick of tofu or TVP. I also can't wait to take one of the single serve packets on my first overnight hike!

Hi E. M, we're thrilled to hear you love the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred and that it's become a versatile part of your meals! Enjoy your hike and thank you for sharing your experience! Protip: To make sure you add the right amount of water, a protein scoop can help measure out the water (2.5 scoops of water per serve), or mark a point on your pot that has the right amount of water. Stay strong, Matt (founder)

Super easy to prepare and tasty, mild flavour. Will definitely be buying more!

Hi Lucy, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred! Thanks for your kind words and support. We've got other flavours launching real soon, so keep an eye out when you make your next order! Stay strong, Matt (founder)

I love the ease after a busy day, not having to do that shopping late in the day run around and still being able to make a "good for me, good for the planet" meal. In less than 15 minutes tops I'm able to whip up something really satisfying and filling and generally without having to cook a thing. Girl dinner sorted! Tastes fabulous and really versatile. 5 stars 🤩🤩🤩 🤩🤩

Hi Mary, we're so glad to hear you enjoy the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred and how it fits into your busy life! Thanks for the wonderful review and the 5 stars! 😊Who said girl dinner can't be a strong dinner! Stay strong, Matt (founder)

Finally!!! A plant based protein that’s easy to travel with - thank you!

We're a big believer that weights should live in the gym, not your backpack. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm so happy you're loving our plant-based 'chicken' shred. Stay strong, Matt (Founder)

Super impressed with your protein. I was waiting for the weird taste that usually follows vegan chicken but there was nothing there. So easy to prepare and takes on any flavour. Great texture too. I made a “chicken” and herbed mayo salad sandwich, couldn’t tell the difference and I don’t get that chicken ick 😊🤩 can’t wait to try more recipes!

Hi Zoe-May, we're thrilled to hear you loved our Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred! It's fantastic that it worked so well in your salad sandwich and that you couldn't tell the difference. Keen to see what you make next :) Thanks for sharing your experience!

Great product! So quick and easy to prepare and so versatile.

Hi Nicole, we're thrilled to hear you love our Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred! Looks absolutely delicious! Appreciate the support!
Cheers,
Matt (Founder)

As a Plant-Based Bodybuilder this hits my macros perfectly! This will now become my perfect travel go to....

Hi Fiona! We're thrilled to hear the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred fits your macros and travel needs perfectly. It's also got all 9-essential amino acids in each serving as well. I feel like I should send people your way when they say '...but you can't get strong on plants!'. Thanks for giving us a go, Matt (Founder)

I would actually rate closer to 4.5 stars. I'm very fussy with flavours and textures. I was impressed with the texture of this product, I'd give it 8/10. I wasn't as impressed with the subtle umami flavour, I'd give it 6/10, but I prefer it over any other flavoured plant based proteins I've tried (apart from unhealthy deep fried ones). I'm also happy with the main packaging so far (I have yet to test the bags in my worm farm and other compost bins), the message with meal ideas was a nice touch, but not needed for me. For overall convenience 9/10. I will be purchasing again!

Honestly Inji, this review means so much to me! The effort you've put into specifically identifying where we can do better means you're helping us make an even better product for people and the planet. I'm actively working on alternative flavours and would love to add you to our VIP list for a first try. As for composting, it is a slow process, but it will happen. Wetting the bags to begin with can help soften the kraft outer for the worms to get started. Thanks for fuelling the fire for us to hit 5/5 next time. Much gratitude, Matt (Founder)

I love this stuff. Works with everything, carries flavour, no chickens massacred along the way, no humans brutalised in the chicken massacring. An absolute win!

Hi Nathan! We're so glad you love the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred. Thanks for your kind words and support for cruelty-free options. It truly means a lot! Appreciate the ongoing support from you and Finding Nature!

We love this stuff. Even my 9 year old will eat this in a bowl with nothing else.

Very versatile. Great addition to salads and sandwiches or as a quick snack that's high in protein.

Hi Celia, we're so happy to hear your family enjoys our Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred! It's great to know it's versatile and loved by all ages. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Surprisingly good! I've been searching for meat substitutes for meal prepping and found this! Now I can access more recipes. It's super easy to prepare and doesn't taste like cardboard :)

Hi Wilson! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred and that it's helping you expand your recipes. Who doesn't love a nice surprise! :) Thanks for sharing your experience!

Overall it is quite convenient but expensive for what it offers. A bit too.much sodium, but that can be reduced if you use your own spice blend.

Hi Yuri, thank-you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you find the product convenient, and we appreciate your note on the sodium content. It is something we're working on, so watch this space. As for price, we're a premium product, and a result of staying Australian made with premium ingredients and sustainable packaging. Also, I notice you didn't take advantage of the welcome offer, free shipping, or multi-pack discounts, so keep these in mind if you order again. Thanks for giving us a go!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this product but I was really thrilled with the end result. It was exactly how described - ready in 5 mins, no cooking or added spices needed. The 100gm bag would have easily filled two sandwiches, even though it was only 1 serve, and it tasted great. The texture was great too. Very glad a bought a few 100gm bags as well are the large bag. 9/10. Highly recommend

Hi Caroline, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our Plant Based Shredded 'Chicken'! Thanks so much for your kind words and recommendation. We make slightly larger servings sizes, as we always feel we want just that little bit more 😇 Glad you loved it!

Such an easy protein snack. Definitely added to the rotation of food staples. Keeping some hydrated in the fridge is a yummy addition to salads, curries and noodles to get that extra protein in. Also great to take camping as they are lightweight and minimal prep, such an easy addition to the outdoor adventure meals!

We took this on our recent camping trip this weekend for an easy meal prep and it was all we hoped it would be. Just add boiling water is exactly all it took. We added some yummy Mexican herbs and spices for robust flavour, popped into some wraps with salads and sauces and within 15 minutes of setting up camp we had dinner on the table and our bellies were full. Highly recommend. ( Also it took up such little space and super light, really appreciated the fully compostable packaging too ☺️)

So glad that this worked for your camping trip! Sounds like you had a delicious time! :)

I ordered a few packs of the Chicken Shred and sent a request about express delivery one evening. I received a reply almost immediately and the package was dispatched first thing the next morning. It arrived within two days. The product itself is quick to prepare and very versatile. This is a great product and the customer service was excellent. I highly recommend Planet Protein.

Absolutely love this product. It comes in different sizes, has the flavouring in a seperate little bag so you a choose to use that flavour or go with your own creation. So easy to take on trips and tastes reliably good. Very versatile. I subscribed and use it often.

Hi Phoebe, we're thrilled to hear you love our Plant Based 'Chicken' Shred! Thanks for sharing your experience and for subscribing. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Stay strong, Matt (founder)

Delicious, ordered more

We love reviews like our products: positively simple. So glad you enjoyed! Stay strong, Matt (founder)

Please consider selling a variety of flavour options. The shred itself is pretty good, has a pleasant texture (maybe a little more fine than ideal but I also understand that's necessary for it to dehydrate right), but I've started just discarding the flavour packets because I really don't like the taste. I can't explain why, I like soy sauce and I like nutritional yeast but something about your mix just isn't doing it for me. I recently made nachos using the shred, but I flavoured it with my store-bought nutritional yeast and taco mix, that was divine. Might try vegetable stock next, or a Greek spice mix.
Other than that, it's pretty good! Value for money is great and its super simple to make. Happy to keep my subscription, but I will be binning the flavour packs.

You're right Willow, with a product this convenient and delicious, I also think it's a 3-star performance that we haven't launched more ways to enjoy the product. Good news, unflavoured is launching this Sunday, and new flavours are so close you can taste it (well, almost). Honestly, I really appreciate the feedback, love that you're doing you're own experimentation (that's how we got started). We'll also be selling nutritional yeast soon (stock en route). Great minds think alike :) I'll be in touch directly with a link so you can get notified when the unflavoured launches. Stay strong, Matt (founder)

No. In fact, none of our ingredients are genetically modified. Everything is non-GMO/GMO Free!

Planet Protein was established in May 2026, but we work with ingredient suppliers and contract manufacturers that have decades of experience producing exceptional quality products and ingredients for some of Australia's leading brands.

Yes. Our protein is made from 100% Australian wheat, and produced in batches in Western Sydney. Our flavours (roughly 30% of the contents of each packet) is blended by us, from mostly imported ingredients (If you know of Aussie growers of our flavour ingredients, let us know!)

Our product is designed to be shelf stable and long-lasting. Our multi-serve packs have a best-before of 6-months (as we only started in May 2026, we haven't been around long enough to validate that it can last longer) though all the ingredients are shelf stable for 12-months plus. To extend the shelf life of our individual packets, they are best stored in an airtight container. We use home compostable and recyclable packaging for our individual packets, which means the flavouring can stick together in the packet. It's still just a delicious, and will de-clump when added to hot-water.

Absolutely! We have a range of options food service providers, restaurants, cafés and caterers. Please contact us for more details.

No, our 'chicken' shred contains gluten, but is free of the preservatives, softeners, colours and other artificial nasties that some other glutinous products contain.

No. TVP is made from soy, whereas our 'chicken' shred is made from the protein in wheat. It's a plant-based shredded protein that can be used similarly to shredded chicken. It's made from the protein in wheat (essentially dehydrated seitan if your familiar with that). Wheat is normally thought of as a carbohydrate, but is actually 13% protein. If you remove the carbohydrates and starches like we do, you're left with something more like 80%+ protein. We then include flavourings that make it deliciously ready to eat (unlike other products like TVP and tofu).

Wheat is naturally approximately 13% protein, and 70% carbohydrates. As the carbohydrates are mostly water-soluble, they can be washed away. This allows us to achieve super high protein levels in a product that's typically thought of as a carb
