Reasons use protein powder

Protein is what builds up our whole body. Everything that our body has to build up requires proteins to do so, and we mean EVERYTHING. They’re needed for hair growth, nails, hormones, skin and of course for your muscles, but What are proteins actually?

PROTEINS (AMINO ACIDS) ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE:  

Each type of protein has a specific role in our body and are crucial the proper functioning of our immune system, body composition and overall health. In other words, we CAN’T live without them.   

BOOSTS METABOLISM 

Who doesn’t love good food and eating? Having a high protein diet can allow you to eat more and worry less about your weight.  This is because the body needs more calories to digest protein than to digest fat and carbs. On top of that, it keeps you fuller for longer. So, if you want to maintain, loose weight or you just don’t want to get hangry, this is the solution for you.

OLDER PEOPLE

KIDS 

Our little ones need the right amount of protein to grow and develop. Its very common for kids to dislike certain foods and be picky, but they won’t be able to resists our delicious flavors and snacks! 

How much protein should we eat and how much do we actually get on average

Experts recommend between 1,2 – 2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight. This would mean that for a person who weighs 80kg, the recommended intake would be between 96 g and 160 g of protein per day.   

-The reference intake set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is 0.83 g of protein per kg of body weight per day, 66,4 g of protein per day for a person who weights 80Kg.  

Track your diet for a day; Are you getting enough protein?  

How much protein do vegan protein sources provide?   

  • Seitan 75g: the richest (soy-free) protein source for vegans is Seitan with 75g of protein per 100g  
  • Beans and Legumes 14-18 g: one serving size of almost all kinds of beans or legumes have about 14-18g of protein  
  • Nuts 6g: one serving size of mixed nuts (30g) has 6g of protein  

Taking into consideration that you´ll eat one of these high protein sources for each meal you’d still only get about 52g of protein per day. 1 scoop of a vegan protein powder provides you with about 20-25g of protein, which makes it a lot easier to reach your daily goals.   

Which protein powder to choose:  

Many protein powders have ingredient lists that could fill books. You should always aim to choose a clean product with few and organic ingredients. The taste givers should be natural products like cacao, coffee or coconut for instance.  

“Pea protein is an excellent protein source because it is a complete protein, which means it consists of all 9 essential amino acids.”
