The Protein Powder Showdown: Plant-Based vs. Animal-Based

It’s an eternal debate: meat protein vs. plant protein. Which one is safer? Healthier? Better for your body and the planet? And while we would never judge anyone for however they choose to nourish their bodies, we pride ourselves on our clean, vegan products. If being vegetarian or vegan matters to you, it matters to us, too! 

Plant-based protein is all about protecting you and the planet

Let’s get that elephant out of the room: a plant-based lifestyle is better for the environment than an animal-based one. Vegan products use less water and electricity, produce fewer carbon emissions and harmful pollutants, and (obviously) spare the animals. But it goes deeper than that! 

Though with plant-based diets you sometimes may have to put a bit more research into getting all your necessary protein, they’re packed with more fiber and micronutrients like potassium and iron that your body needs to feel strong and powered throughout the day, whereas protein-based powders can often be higher in sodium. Whey-based protein powders can also be linked to bloating and indigestion — after all, how many of us develop dairy intolerances as we get older?   

NeoraFit Powder: the power of animal protein, but vegan

Plant-based protein powders sometimes get a bad reputation for not giving your body all the amino acids it needs. NeoraFit Plant-based Protein Powder has the protein-synthesizing punch and power of animal protein, and also tastes great, is perfect in everything from water to baked goods, and will help you lose weight by keeping you feeling fuller longer.*

So, what is our powder working with? Brown rice protein is hypoallergenic and helps in post-workout muscle recovery without feeling heavy in your stomach, organic pumpkin seed protein takes the nutritious goodness of pumpkins and condenses it into a powerful concentration of vitamins and minerals, chia seeds provide antioxidants to lower your risk of disease, and pea protein supports your heart AND your muscles, while being an excellent source of iron without the digestive upset of harsh supplements. 

All this to say: it’s delicious (who doesn’t love vanilla?), works with your metabolism to help you build muscle and keep weight off, eases pesky food cravings that weigh you down throughout your busy day*, and is healthier for the planet. Downsides? Never heard of ‘em.
