11 Mar 5 of the Best Protein Powders

Posted at 09:26h in Drinks, Supplements by

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Our skin, hair and nails are made mostly from protein and optimising your intake is key when looking to lose weight, or maintain a healthy weight. Protein powders can be a valuable addition to your diet – gone are the days when protein shakes were just for body builders. They are particularly valuable for vegetarians and vegans.

But not all protein powders are created equal with many containing synthetic additives, unnecessary sugars and a long list of other nasties. Finding a good quality protein supplement can be a minefield. Here, we share with you five of the best protein powders we have found.

5 OF THE BEST PROTEIN POWDERS

SUN WARRIOR’S WARRIOR BERRY BLEND

Main ingredients = Organic Pea Protein, Organic Hemp Protein

If you’re looking for a protein powder to add into your morning or post-workout smoothie, try this SunWarrior Berry powder to a berry-based smoothie for a flavourful treat. SunWarrior Berry also tastes great on it’s own, mixed with almond milk.

Nutrition per serving: 97 calories, 2g fat, 2.9g carbohydrates, 1.8g fibre, 16g protein

Buy it here: SunWarrior – Warrior Berry Blend

NUZEST’S CLEAN LEAN PROTEIN

Main ingredient = Golden Pea Protein

All natural, patented, water-extracted, European golden pea protein isolate with all nine essential amino acids. Nuzest proteins are available in a variety of flavours and come in convenient, individual serving sachets, as well as larger tubs for convenience.

Nutrition per serving: 104 calories, 2.2g fat, 1.2g carbohydrates, 0.3g fibre, 20g protein

PULSIN’S RICE PROTEIN

Main ingredient = Brown Rice Protein Concentrate

Simplicity is key with Pulsin’s protein powders; their rice protein powder is made purely from brown rice. This makes for a really plain-tasting protein that can be added to savoury dishes like vegetable soups as well as smoothies. It offers great value for money, too.

Nutrition per serving: 43 calories, 1.0g fat, 0.4g carbohydrates, 0.3g fibre, 8.1g protein

A serving suggestion is 10g but we recommend doubling this to achieve a more substantial protein serving, in line with most brand’s serving sizes.

PLANET PALEO’S PURE COLLAGEN

Main ingredient = Pasture-raised Collagen Hydrolysate

If you are suffering from an autoimmune condition, collagen may well be the best protein supplement for you. Planet Paleo’s collagen powder is from pasture raised cows making it one of the best we have found.

Nutrition per serving: 27 calories, 0g fat, 0g carbohydrates, 0g fibre, 6.8g protein

The 7.5g serving size is small compared with other protein products, so double up your portion or eat alongside other sources of protein.

Buy it here: Planet Paleo – Pure Collagen

PURITION’S WHOLE FOOD SHAKE

Main ingredient = Hemp Protein Concentrate

A great choice if you’re looking for a natural meal replacement shake. In addition to hemp protein, these powders contain a mixture of nutritious ingredients such as apple pectin for fibre, seeds and coconut for healthy fats and nutritional yeast for B vitamins. Purition shakes are available in range of flavours, from pumpkin spice to coffee and walnut.

Nutrition per serving: 200 calories, 12g fat, 2g carbohydrates, 6g fibre, 16g protein

Buy it here: Purition – Whole Food Plant Nutrition
