5 Healthy Recipes With Vanilla Protein Powder
It’s been proven, both scientifically and with live examples, that vegans are perfectly capable of obtaining sufficient protein on a plant-based diet. With the right meal plan, which includes plenty of legumes, seeds, and nuts, you’re sure to meet your daily protein requirements with ease.
But sometimes, it can be difficult to pack enough protein into a single dish (and this goes for non-vegans too!), especially when you’ve got a busy schedule laid out in front of you.
The best way to ensure you’re getting enough protein? Include a plant-based protein powder in your diet.
