If you're following the vegan lifestyle, chances are that you're also tired of people asking you how you get enough protein. At this point, everyone knows that there are many plant-based sources of protein out there. When you're really in a pinch, a clean, healthy vegan protein powder will do the trick as well.
"Some misconceptions about vegan protein powders are that they don't provide enough protein, and that they won’t keep you full,” says dietitian Carolyn Brown, RD. However, she says that vegan protein powders definitely do both. In a 2019 study, whey and pea protein were shown to have a similar impact on body composition and muscle thickness.
Check out some of the best vegan protein powders here:
Vegan protein powders pack 20 to 30 grams of protein per serving, which is on par with most popular whey protein powders, Brown says. Plus, many dairy-free options also provide a good dose of fiber, which keeps you fuller longer, adds nutritionist Priya Khorana, PhD, the founder of Lifestyle Nutrition Counseling.
Whether you're adding these supplements to your smoothies, iced coffee, or pancake mix, today's vegan protein powders are better than ever—and totally worth your while, for carnivores and vegans alike. Here are 14 vegan protein powder options you'll want to start working into your meals every day.
