Benefits of a plant-based protein powder

Proteins are important building blocks
The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends eating 50 grams of protein daily. This will maintain your bones and muscles. Protein also supports muscle growth and recovery after sport. Consider eating more protein if you exercise a lot or are physically active. Protein supplements are an easy solution to this. You know exactly how much protein you're taking and which amino acids it contains.

Amino acids are protein building blocks. There are two types of amino acids: essential or non-essential. The latter are made by your body itself. However, essential amino acids can't be made by the body, so you have to get them from food. Complete protein supplements contain all nine essential amino acids. This gives you a balanced mix of amino acids.

Plant-based protein for shakes or as additive
High quality animal and plant protein work equally well. They are both easily absorbed and have a complete amino acid profile. The most commonly used animal protein comes from whey, a milk product. Whey protein can cause intestinal discomfort and is therefore not suitable for everyone.

The main difference is the amino acid composition and how you intend to use the protein powder. Plant-based protein powder is very suitable for shakes and as a baking ingredient. It is also easy to find an allergen-free plant-based protein supplement.
