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.
Crafted by nutritionists at doses that work, check with your GP if already taking supplements or if you have medical conditions, before use. Keep away from children and pets.
The company recommends caution for some turmeric and Reishi mushroom extracts, but check to see if you’re okay with the standard ‘normal’ protein powders. The hemp is safe for drug testing, due to minimal traces of the ingredient in cannabis.
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.
