Ditch the Dairy, Embrace the Earth: Explore Delicious & Nutritious Vegan Protein Powders
As we all know protein is an essential macronutrient that our bodies need to function properly. It is necessary for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting the immune system. While protein can be found in a variety of foods, many people turn to protein powders to ensure they are getting enough of this vital nutrient. But the mistake that people make is to buy protein powders from the market without even having a glance at the ingredients list.
98 % of these protein powders have ingredients like INS 551, INS 320, BHA, etc. Now, these are nothing but chemical preservatives, additives, and emulsifiers (BHA is Butylated hydroxyanisole), similarly, other codes used are INS 551(Silicon dioxide is an anti-caking agent),
Although approved by regulatory bodies, these create havoc in the human system over prolonged use.
Vegan protein powders can easily be made from nuts and seeds and are a great option for those looking for a plant-based natural source of protein that also provides a range of other health benefits.
Nuts and seeds have always been excellent sources of protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, which have been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. By incorporating vegan protein powders made from nuts and seeds into your diet, you can reap all these health benefits and more.
One of the most popular vegan protein powders made from nuts and seeds is almond protein powder. Almonds are high in protein, containing about 6 grams of protein per ounce. They are also rich in healthy fats, fibre, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. Almond protein powder is a great option for those with nut allergies.
Flaxseed is another great source of vegan protein that can be used to create protein powders. Flaxseeds are rich in fiber, healthy fats, and other essential nutrients such as magnesium, manganese, and thiamine. They are also an excellent source of plant-based protein, containing about 6 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons.
Flaxseed protein powder is made by grinding flaxseeds into a fine powder. This powder can then be used to add protein and other nutrients to a variety of recipes, including smoothies, baked goods, and protein bars. Flaxseed protein powder has a slightly nutty flavor and can be a great addition to vegan protein shakes.
One of the benefits of flaxseed protein powder is that it is an excellent source of fiber. Fibre is an essential nutrient that helps to promote healthy digestion and can also help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Flaxseed protein powder can provide up to 4 grams of fiber per 2 tablespoons, making it a great option for those looking to increase their fiber intake.
Flaxseed protein powder is also a good source of lignans, which are phytochemicals that have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Lignans may also have hormonal benefits, including reducing the risk of breast cancer and improving symptoms of menopause.
Another excellent option for vegan protein powder made from nuts and seeds is pumpkin seed protein powder. Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of protein, containing about 9 grams of protein per ounce. They are also rich in healthy fats, fiber, zinc, magnesium, and potassium. Pumpkin seed protein powder has a slightly nutty flavor and is an excellent addition to smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes.
Hemp protein powder is another great vegan protein powder option. Hemp seeds are an excellent source of protein, containing about 10 grams of protein per ounce. They are also rich in healthy fats, fiber, magnesium, and iron. Hemp protein powder has a slightly nutty flavor and can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies to energy bars.
Finally, chia seed protein powder is an excellent option for those looking for a vegan protein powder with high fiber content. Chia seeds are an excellent source of protein, containing about 4 grams of protein per ounce. They are also rich in fiber, healthy fats, calcium, and magnesium. Chia seed protein powder can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies to pancakes.

Sheer MADness is a natural plant protein powder made of Almond, Flaxseed, and turmeric as mother ingredients. The best part is we do not use any additives, preservatives, or chemical-based flavorings in any products.
Now, here are Few Facts before I finish:
These are the same lines from my book “Great Health Comes from Exercise & Nutrition”
a) Everyone is an individual, so what suits me, may or may not suit the next person.
b) If a person has a medical condition, a doctor’s advice and prescribed medication will only help.
c) While buying any protein powder from the market read the labels carefully, and Watch out for various codes, and words like Anti-caking agent, and INS 551( Also known as Silicon dioxide), All these are Laboratory made chemicals, and although approved by regulatory bodies think twice, will you consume a spoon of Silicon dioxide? And Silicon dioxide is just one product, there are numerous others like BHA ( Butylated hydroxyanisole ), BHT ( Butylated hydroxytoluene ) and the list of lab-made chemicals goes on and on with various codes, that we generally ignore.
Hence read the labels especially the ingredients list of the product before buying.

d) Exercise is the key to fitness, we should always keep in mind that exercise and nutrition are two sides of the same coin and always go hand in hand. So only nutrition will not help you attain any goals till it is not supplemented with Exercise.
e) Excess of anything is wrong, it can be the best nutrient-filled superfood, but one should consume only recommended quantities.
f) Regarding health, fitness, and nutrition, remember that Rome was not built in a day. Your discipline and consistency is the key.
g) It’s not only Exercise and protein that builds muscles, there are numerous other factors like a healthy gut, numerous macro and micronutrients, your body type and DNA, the amount of rest the body gets, the lifestyle an individual lives, and on and on it goes. Out of all these, exercise and nutrition are within our control, and one should focus on these two primary aspects.
