Plant Protein Powder: Vegan Protein to Buy in Portugal
Vegan protein powder. Plant proteins are an alternative to whey for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, or who simply prefer to avoid animal protein. They are usually made by combining several sources, such as pea, rice or fava bean, to achieve a more complete amino acid profile.

Why combine several plant sources. Each plant source has a different amino acid profile: pulses such as pea are rich in lysine, while cereals such as rice provide more methionine. Combining the two helps to balance the final protein.
How to take it. Mix one serving with water or a plant-based drink. The texture is usually a little thicker than whey. If you do not follow a vegan diet, also compare whey concentrate and whey isolate.
