Here is a simple guide for all things Vegan Protein! Let’s start with the basics:
What is Vegan Protein?
Vegan protein is a protein powder that does not contain any meat, eggs, or dairy. It’s made out of plant-based ingredients to ensure that individuals following a plant-based diet (or anyone that wants to) can reap the benefits of protein powder. There are countless vegan proteins on the market all derived from different plant-based sources, we’ll get to why you should choose ours in a minute.
Where Does Our Vegan Protein Come From?
Our vegan proteins are derived from pea protein, pumpkin seed protein, sunflower seed protein and watermelon seed protein! It’s a smooth blend packed with 20-22g of high quality, low temperature processed protein.

Protein powders are not all created equal. In fact, the majority out there are.. Not so great. The ingredients used, the quality of said ingredients, and the way in which they are processed all vary across the board. Some use low quality ingredient sources and/or high temperature processing in order to produce in bulk for cheap, this way they make the most profit of each tub. Ours are made with the highest quality ingredients and are low-temperature processed to ensure you get the most out of each scoop. Our proteins are also produced in a GMP certified and FDA accredited facility and are third party tested in an ISO 17025 lab. It’s important that you find a company that openly educates you on the ingredients used and third-party tests to confirm what’s on the label is what’s inside the tub.
