Amazonia Raw Gentle Digest Paleo Protein Chocolate 500g
A certified organic, Low FODMAP certified plant protein powder built around sprouted and fermented pea protein, with fermented greens, seeds, and vegetables, and the digestive enzyme bromelain. Chocolate flavour. 20.7g protein per 30g serve.
Amazonia Raw Protein Gentle Digest is designed specifically for people with sensitive digestion who still want a high-quality plant protein. The formulation starts with certified organic golden pea protein that has been sprouted, wet-milled, and naturally fermented - a process that increases bioavailability and makes the protein gentler on the gut compared to standard non-fermented pea protein powders.
The fermented blend includes spirulina, millet, quinoa, spinach, alfalfa grass, sweet potato, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, linseeds, chia seeds, and molasses alongside the pea protein base. Acacia fibre adds prebiotic support. Bromelain, a digestive enzyme naturally derived from pineapple, is included to support comfortable digestion.
Low FODMAP certified - certified by Monash University’s FODMAP Friendly program, meaning it has been tested and confirmed to contain FODMAPs at levels suitable for people following a low FODMAP diet. This is the key differentiator from most plant protein powders, which often contain high-FODMAP ingredients like pea protein at standard doses or inulin-based fibres.
Chocolate flavour with cocoa powder and stevia leaf extract - no artificial flavours, no artificial colours. ACO certified organic throughout. Vegan, paleo, grain free, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free.
Made by Amazonia, an Australian natural food company based in Brisbane.

As a not-for-profit social enterprise, every purchase supports our work in community food systems, environmental advocacy, and the Grow the Growers project. We stock Amazonia because their ACO certified organic, Low FODMAP certified formulation meets the Santos Care Check standard.
Santos Organics is not your average grocery store; it's a not-for-profit social enterprise and environmental charity. Since 1978, we've pioneered the organic wholefood movement. Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.

We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.
Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture. Employing over 70 local team members ensures money stays within the local economy, enhancing opportunities for community interaction and support. Our local suppliers share our vision of promoting creative, sustainable, and healthy product development, strengthening the reputation of the Byron Bay region as a hub for innovation and sustainability.
