Vegan protein powder & plant protein bars

Choosing a vegan protein powder

A vegan protein powder is an easy way to add protein to a smoothie, porridge or a glass of plant milk. Look at the protein per serving, the flavour and how it mixes, because you will only use one you enjoy. Vivo Life makes every product here, and its products carry Informed Sport certification, which means batches are tested for banned substances. Vivo Life was vetted on its ingredients and how its products are made before joining Ziracle.

Plant protein powder options

Vivo Life makes three plant protein powder options. Clean Protein gives 21g of complete plant protein per serving, Perform gives 25g, and Perform Pro gives 25g in a formula designed for people who train. Shake the powder with cold water or plant milk, or blend it with banana and oats for a thicker drink. Start with one tub and see how you get on before buying in bulk. A shaker bottle with a mesh ball breaks up lumps, and adding the liquid first helps the powder mix smoothly. Protein shakes also work as a quick breakfast on busy mornings.

Vegan protein bars and meals

Vivo Life makes vegan protein bars with 16g of plant protein each, made with real ingredients and no artificial sweeteners. They suit a busy afternoon or the walk home from the gym. The All-in-One Meal combines 21g of plant protein with B vitamins, minerals and live cultures in one serving, for days when you need something quick. Keep a bar in your bag for long trips, when it is hard to find a good vegan snack.

Using plant protein day to day

Plant protein works alongside meals rather than replacing them, so keep eating a mix of beans, lentils, tofu, nuts or seeds. Check the serving size on each listing, and speak to your GP or a dietitian if you have a medical condition. Keep tubs sealed in a cool, dry cupboard. Supplements has vitamins and herbal blends, Superfood Powders has cacao and maca, Men's Supplements has creatine, and A practical guide to plant-based eating: How to do it well covers protein from food.
