Animal-based foods have the highest negative environ\u00admental impact out of all food groups. To create 1 lb of beef requires 7 lb of plant protein, produces more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and uses more water, cropland, and fertilizer. It is a more expensive process while being less sustainable and can negatively impact health.<\/p>\n

But can following a plant-based diet provide enough protein?<\/h5>\n

And even if it can, would we get all the essential amino acids our bodies require? The answer is yes, but it can take a bit of work. Our bodies need between 0.8\u20131.2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, so when we limit or remove animal-based proteins, it can prove difficult for some to reach the daily recommended amount of protein.<\/p>\n

Enter vegan protein powders.<\/h5>\n

Although not all are created equal, an excellent vegan protein supplement will contain a blend of legumes, seeds, and grains, providing both a high biological value and a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids as well as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for building muscle. With an average of 20\u201330 g per serving, vegan protein blends can easily bridge the gap to help you achieve a healthy protein intake. Best of all, adding vegan protein provides health benefits while protecting the environment and helping you save on your daily food bill.<\/p>\n
