Whey is out. Vegan protein is in!

If you’re in the market for some protein powder, vegan is the way to go.

Why vegan over whey?

Simply put - whey is a byproduct of cheese. And anything that comes from standard cattle farms is typically riddled with hormones and antibiotics in order to produce more product (milk). These chemicals are then passed on to us through dairy consumption and nothing or nobody should be ingesting them!

Vegan protein is very different which brings me to the awesomeness that is Everlast VP.

This protein powder is plant-based getting it’s protein from yellow pea, rice and hemp. It’s also gluten-free and dairy-free which makes it easier to digest. Instead of using sucralose (which a lot of companies use) they use stevia. So the result is no sugar and no added calories. Score!

Everlast VP is also cholesterol free, only 110 calories per serving and tastes amazing in both water and/or nut milk.

Now, typically I would take protein powder and mix it up in a shake. It’s easy, it’s delicious and it’s a time-saver. But today was super chilly when I woke up, so I decided to create something new! Get the protein packed breakfast recipe below to power you up for an active day!
