About Pea Protein Powder
Pea Protein powder is derived from Pisum sativum, and is a versatile high-quality product that may be added to shakes, smoothies or mixed into recipes for baking. Pea Protein Powders naturally contain an excellent amino acid profile, with all essential amino acids including tryptophan and the branched chain amino acids. A study published by The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2015 demonstrated that pea protein was as effective as whey protein at stimulating recovery and adaptation to a resistance training program. Both pea and whey protein outperformed the placebo group. This study highlighted the clear benefits of this type of vegetable-sourced protein powder for active individuals.
It can be more challenging getting enough quality protein on a plant-based diet. And many of the higher protein vegan sources of protein, such as legumes and nuts, also contain a high amount of carbohydrates and fats, which can make it difficult getting enough protein without overconsuming calories. This is why a lean plant-based protein powder can make the difference on a vegan diet. Some of these plant protein powders actually contain as much as 90% protein, delivering very few calories in a serve. Pea protein is a convenient way to top up a plant-based diet with quality bioavailable protein.
Pea Protein Powders come in a wide range of flavours that are typically all-natural, though check the label to be sure. Sometimes pea protein is blended with other vegetable sourced protein powders, such as rice, sacha inchi seed or chia seed to improve texture, taste and the amino acid profile. Pea protein powders are helpful for supporting optimal health, adaptation to exercise and increasing lean muscle gains. Any vegetable-sourced protein powder may be used after exercise, between meals, or to supplement a low protein meals, such as rice and vegetables.
