Protein is an essential nutrient, but what happens if you’re on a plant-based diet? It can be challenging to meet your protein needs, since many of the most popular protein sources are animal-based. Eggs, chicken, cottage cheese, and tuna are just a few examples.
But don’t despair! It’s easy to get more plant-based protein when you shop at Netrition. Our Plant-Based Protein Powders are 100% vegan and free from dairy and egg products. Many of them are gluten-free as well, and you can find unflavored and delicious flavored powders. Here are five of our most popular Plant-Based Protein Powders.
A plant-based diet can have the following benefits.
- Cholesterol-free, since only animal-based foods contain cholesterol
- More satisfying, since plant-based foods contain dietary fiber, while animal-based foods do not
- Better for the heart, if you choose healthy plant-based fats, since animal fats such as from meat and butter are highly saturated
Plus, it’s better for the environment to go vegan! You can get enough protein by being careful about your choices. Whenever you’re in doubt or need something quick or convenient, you can always opt for a Plant-Based Protein Powder from Netrition.
