What’s the best vegan protein powder, a plant based protein, and does it taste good?

Protein intake is important for beautiful skin, hair, and nails. Protein helps your body build muscle and many studies show it aids with weight loss, and metabolic health, because it boosts metabolism and increases fat burning. Protein helps your body detox, reduces appetite, helps with blood sugar balance, and diabetes management. According to studies it helps keep bones healthy, and lowers your blood pressure.  Protein helps your body repair itself after injury and provides essential amino acids. I don’t know about you, but this motivates me to increase my protein intake. If it does for you too, read on, because we’ve discovered the best vegan protein powder, a plant based protein powder, and uncovered it’s many health benefits.  Get the scoop here! 

Vegan Protein Supplement: What Is It?

Vegan protein powder, a plant based protein powder, is an easily digestible supplement which is high in protein. Plant based protein provides essential amino acids, and comes from vegan food sources, such as, organic pea protein. Vegan protein powder does not contain Casein or Whey which can be highly allergenic.

The highest quality vegan protein powder, a plant based protein powder, which is high in essential amino acids, comes from all-natural organic foods, such as organic pea protein, brown rice protein, fava bean powder, and amaranth powder. Other important factors to consider when choosing the best vegan protein powder, a plant based protein, is to make sure it’s soy-free, gluten-free, and contains fiber, enzymes, and probiotics.

It’s important to consume a plant based protein powder which is non GMO, meaning it is not genetically modified, also known as a genetically engineered food, or bioengineered food.  GMO foods are produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using various methods of genetic alteration, which is not natural.

Taste is an important factor when choosing your plant based protein powder. Prime vegan protein powder has an excellent taste, making it a fantastic alternative to other vegan protein powders on the market. 

We can consume vegan plant based protein powder by, adding it to shakes and smoothies, and drinking it as a meal replacement.  Just mixing it with water, juice, or plant-based milk works too. Adding protein powder to nondairy yogurt, pancake or waffle mix, adding it into chia pudding, overnight oats, or in homemade bars (See yummy recipes below) make it a versatile choice.

Chocolate and Vanilla flavors mix well with many recipes. Scroll down to see our delicious meal replacement protein shake recipes , a creamy Prime pumpkin overnight oats recipe and a yummy Prime pumpkin protein bar recipe.

Alovea’s Prime Vegan Protein Powder: What Makes It Different?

Alovea’s Prime Protein Shake boasts many added benefits compared to other protein powders, such as, helping improve gut health, enhancing your immune system with Acemannan, (see article on the miraculous Acemannan supplement benefits) lowering blood pressure, increasing metabolism, and increasing nitric oxide levels.

Prime protein powder is non GMO, vegan, soy free, dairy free and gluten free. It contains, prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes. Prime Premium Plant-Based Nitro Boosting Multi-Purpose Shake  contains no artificial colors, no artificial sweeteners, and no artificial flavors, making it an incredible protein choice.

Promotes Gut Health

Alovea’s Prime Protein is dairy free and contains xylooligosaccharides which support gut health with natures most effective prebiotic fiber and a broad range of digestive enzymes.  By decreasing your sugar intake and implementing a high-protein diet with xylooligosaccharides, you can reprogram your body to reduce fat accumulation and enhance energy metabolism.

Prime Protein Boosts Metabolism

Prime Premium Plant-Based Nitro Boosting Multi-Purpose Shake boosts metabolism. Our vegan protein powder contains a well-rounded blend of plant-derived proteins to help increase your metabolic rate for several  hours by up to 30%.

Prime Protein Powder Increases Nitric Oxide Production

Prime Shake boosts your Nitric Oxide production by up to 230%. Studies show Nitric Oxide is a vasodilator signaling blood vessels to relax thus increasing blood flow, oxygen, and fuel to our cells. Nitric Oxide lowers blood pressure, may decrease muscle soreness, boosts exercise performance, and may help type 2 diabetes.

Prime Protein Shake Stimulates Your Immune System

Prime protein powder contains Alovea’s patented Alovea AE Acemannan extract, an immune system enhancing supplement. For a complete guide to the benefits of Acemannan supplementation check out Marneys Tidbits article titled, “Have You Heard About The 21 Miraculous Acemannan Supplement Benefits?”

Does Vegan Protein Powder Have Less Calories?

The number of calories vegan protein powder contains depends on the powder type and brand.  Most vegan protein powders contain higher calorie counts than alternative powders because they naturally contain more carbohydrates, but they also contain fat reducing fiber to reduce your Net Carbs.  To calculate the net carbs, subtract the grams of fiber from the total grams of carbohydrates in a food.  The fiber can also help manage blood sugar levels for diabetics by slowing down how fast sugar is released into the body.

My favorite Protein Powder, Alovea’s Prime Premium Plant-Based Multi-Purpose shake contains only 110 calories and 20 grams of protein per serving.  It only has 6 grams of carbs and provides 2 grams of fiber. 

What’s The Best Way To Take Vegan Protein Powder?

I recommend mixing vegan protein powder with plant-based milk, juice or water for smoothies and shakes. Protein powder provides a perfect way to boost the protein content in homemade muffins, cakes, protein balls, oatmeal, and protein bars.

Are Vegan Protein Powders Healthy?

Yes, adding vegan protein powder to your diet is healthy.  Alovea’s vegan protein powder, made from high-quality organic, non-GMO food sources, with immune optimizing Acemannan, fiber, prebiotics, probiotics, and enzymes, mixed with plant-based milk, juice or water can give your body the nutrients it requires to stay healthy. It’s very beneficial to consume protein after exercising to increase muscle, speed up your metabolism, and provide satiety.

When Should I Take Vegan Protein Powder?

While it always comes down to personal preference, some decide to enjoy vegan protein powder, in order to boost their protein intake at breakfast, while others choose to drink it after workouts. The intake of protein in the morning can raise your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by up to 30% for four hours after consuming. Protein provides the building blocks for your bodies production of lean fat burning tissue. I love to have my shake after an intense Pilates workout or long walk because protein helps our muscles heal faster, giving our bodies what they require to recover faster.
