A convenient and easy way to incorporate more protein into your diet, especially if you have trouble meeting your daily protein requirements through food alone, is with protein powders.
Made from plant-based sources of protein, such as pea protein, hemp protein, rice protein, and soy protein, vegan protein powders are powdered supplements that can either be mixed with water, plant-based milk, or blended into smoothies and other recipes.
They also come in a range of flavours so you can choose one that suits you best. So, if you’re looking to add vegan protein powders to your daily routine, read on for our top picks.*
