Especially for vegans, protein powder can be a great way of adding protein to your diet, according to EC Synkowski, a Boulder nutrition coach. She says that plant foods tend to be higher in carbs and fats than protein, so powders made from plants can make a great supplement. Below are seven great options, all of which are Stevia-free.
Gainful
Personalized Protein Powder
GAINFUL
Serving Size 72g (2 scoops).
Protein Per Serving: 44 grams
Gainful asks you about your ideal weight, exercise goals, frequency and activity level, as well as any dietary restrictions such gluten, soy and whey allergies, lactose intolerances, veganism and vegetarianism. My personal powder, which is mostly pea, oat and brown rice protein, has 44 grams of protein. It’s perfect for me as a vegan CrossFitter of 5’9″ and 175 pounds.
