Although it may have traditionally been considered as a supplement reserved for bodybuilders and elite athletes, protein powder is now an essential element in many people’s daily diet.
With the rise of veganism and 4.7% of the UK adult population following a vegan diet, there is, naturally, an increased appetite for plant-based protein sources. However, knowing which protein powder to choose from the wide variety available can be a struggle.
We’re on hand to help you find the best vegan protein powder for your needs, whether you’re looking to support an active lifestyle or just ensure you’re meeting your daily requirements.
What is Vegan Protein Powder?
Vegan protein powder is an alternative to protein derived from animal sources, such as whey, and is extracted from plant sources including the likes of soy, peas, hemp, brown rice, flaxseed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds or buckwheat. These plant proteins are turned into a powder to create a convenient and versatile product that can be easily added to smoothies, shakes, baked goods, and other recipes.
Some plant-based protein sources are often referred to as ‘incomplete’ protein sources, because they can lack sufficient amount of all nine essential amino acids.
To create a complete protein, some supplements, like our collection of vegan protein powders combine multiple plant sources to ensure they contain all of the nine essential amino acids.
