Plant Protein Powder

About Plant Protein Powder

Plant Protein Powders are often based on pea and rice protein, though may also include sacha inchi seed protein and even chia seed protein. These products are 100% completely free of all animal products of any kind, which means absolutely no whey, casein or egg— and certainly no salmon or beef protein, which can be found in powdered protein these days ... Pea Protein is regarded as one of the highest quality Plant Protein Powders available to us today. Scientific research is confirming this with the publication of some fascinating clinical trials over th past couple of decades. Pea protein is naturally rich in essential amino acids, a part of which are the branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine). In fact, pea protein probably has the closest plant-based match to whey protein.

Plant Protein Powders not only contain all of the essential amino acids required for human health, but in doing so they also help to nudge our pH in the direction of alkalinity, which is another benefit of these products. All animal sourced protein powders are acidic by nature and tend to drop the blood pH with each and every protein shake. Plant Protein Powders really do deliver the goods—literally—with all of the amino acids we need to survive and thrive in a pleasant tasting powder that can be mixed with water or nut milk. They also do very well in smoothies with whole foods, such as banana, berries, lecithin granules (providing beneficial phospholipids) or coconut yoghurt. 20 years ago, the range of plant protein powders available were quite dismal, with flavours that tended not to impress. Fortunately, as more people are becomming aware of the importance of holistic health and pant-based diets, research and development has been booming in these areas, leading to some plant based protein powders that are actually delicious, even when simply mixed in water. We have ourselves to thank for this, and our burgeoning support for this industry!

So if you're ready to improve your amino acid nutrition, support your body's pH balance and leave not a single footprint on the animal kingdom, give Plant Protein Powders a try!
