3 vegan protein powders you need to try

Whether you’re new to fitness or a dedicated health nut, you’ve probably heard of protein shakes… and of how yummy and nutritious they can be. But what about vegan protein shakes? They’re all the rage right now, as attention around food intolerances grows, especially for people with lactose and gluten sensitivities. And many people simply prefer a vegan diet, so non-dairy options are popping up everywhere.

Despite the bad reputation vegan products sometimes get for having a weird taste, there are some really flavourful options on the market. That’s why we’re sharing three top-notch vegan protein products that deliver a great taste and nutritional value. So give them a try.

A whole lotta hemp

Please your taste buds and support your muscles with the vegan hemp protein powder from Neat Nutrition. It has a great consistency when mixed with water, and better yet, it’s really scrumptious! We’re in love with the chocolate flavour, but it also comes in berry, vanilla and natural flavours. Sourced ingredients include hemp and pea protein, which makes it a healthy way to fuel your workouts.

Hemp, flax, pumpkin seeds, chia and almonds are only a few of the healthy wholefoods that make this a great non-dairy protein option. The nutty hints of the original hemp powder make it a yummy addition to shakes and blends.
