5 vegan protein powders you must include in your diet

If your biggest apprehension about following a vegan lifestyle is getting the necessary protein, we have you covered. Whey is not the only way to go. However, if you subscribe to the misconception that vegan protein powders don’t do as good a job as the non-vegan ones, consider this—in a 2019 study, researchers found that whey and pea protein (a popular vegan substitute) had a similar effect on body composition and muscle thickness.

We rounded up some vegan protein powders for you, which are not only effective but also delicious. . Happy World Vegan Day!
