Where to Buy Vegan Protein Powders
Body Me is a range of organic vegan protein powders and shakes. The company also does not include plastic scoops, instead it offers spoon measurements on the packaging. Everything is made with real ingredients (no added sweeteners, fillers, binders, bulking agents or seed oils).
Recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if kerbside does not recycle. Check labels as some of the powders contain caffeine and ashwagandha (avoid both for pregnancy/nursing).
Check with GP if you already take medication or supplements (esp. for turmeric and Reishi mushroom). Keep away from children and pets.
If you eat a wide variety of foods, you should get enough protein. But in modern society, most people can benefit from some added protein, especially vegans and those in recovery to wellness. Plant-based proteins are less acidic, cholesterol-free and higher in fibre, as well as being kinder and more sustainable.
This brand uses plant-based proteins in their powders from a variety of sources including:
- Hemp
- Peas
- Brown rice
- Cashew nuts
The powders are sweetened naturally with dates or coconut nectar, but not ‘sweetened’ too much, so you can just add to your own recipes. Choose from vanilla or chocolate flavours. Some of the powders also contain superfoods like maca (tastes a bit like maple shortbread) and acai berry).
To use, simply add your vegan protein powder to smoothies or porridge, or mix into recipes and baking.
They taste better when mixed with plant milks over water, try blending 300ml of oat milk with 1 serving of protein powder, a small banana and 1 tablespoon of nut butter.
The packs contain 30 servings per pouch (or use half for 60 servings to save money, though of course you’ll get half the protein but that’s better than nothing).
The superfood powders also offer 30 servings per pouch. Also find portable vegan protein bars in easy-to-recycle packaging.
Vivo Life offers a great range of vegan protein powders, all in easy-to-recycle packaging (at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside does not collect). These are ideal for everyday, and also offers a range especially for people who have regular workouts like athletes.
Most bodybuilding supplements are based on whey (milk). But these are plant-based and contain more protein, and are also better absorbed. In natural or vanilla flavours, just mix into your favourite drinks.
To use, just add two tablespoons to a shake (250ml water or plant milk), blend with fruits and plant milks for a smoothie or mix with plant milk and frozen banana in a bowl. The company sells a compostable scoop, if you prefer.
Sweetened with stevia, the other products include one for clean protein (for muscle and bone health), a collagen builder and a meal replacement.
