Why Vegan Protein

My last post went into detail why vegan protein is better for you than whey or soy (remember "say 'no whey!' to whey!"). Now I want to tell you more about the vegan protein found in the Arbonne protein powder and why it does exactly what it says it does (like all of the Arbonne products I have tried! And I have tried almost all of them!).

Vegan, plant-based protein. It is a beautiful thing. I have been reading some truly disgusting things about meat and dairy protein lately that make me take a big gulp of my Arbonne protein shake and say "aaahhh". Remember that protein is not held in reserve in our body (like fat and carbs) so we need to continuously feed our body protein. Arbonne's blend of cranberry, pea and brown rice is the most easily digested, 100% hypoallergenic protein blend. Rice and yellow pea protein rival dairy and egg protein but without allergens! Because Arbonne's vegan protein blend it is so digestible, it decreases the gas and bloating and is absorbed and used to create muscle, promote healing, etc.

Let's break it down...Arbonne's vegan protein blend is cranberry, pea and brown rice. Why?
First, the cranberry. Cranberry is the only plant protein that contains 25% complete protein including all of the essential amino acids. Next, the pea protein is going to facilitate calcium absorption and help smooth out the chalky texture of the rice protein. What is amazing about yellow pea protein is that it can make you feel full faster at your next meal. The rice protein is easily digestible. Within four hours, 86% of rice protein will be digested compared to only 57% of soy. Rice has a total absorption rate of approximately 98% so it is a very efficient protein. 

The Amino Acid Score is a method for evaluating the relative nutritional quality of different protein sources based on the digestibility and usability. Arbonne protein has an Amino Acid Score of 100 which is high quality. Arbonne gives you vegan protein with a complete amino acid profile. 

Vegan Certified. Gluten free. Soy free. Dairy free. No artificial anything.

So those are the facts. Now all you have to do is taste it. Arbonne protein powder comes in chocolate and vanilla. I have recipes to add fruits and veggies to pack your shakes full of nutrients right here in this blog. If you have a favorite recipe, I would love to hear about it so I can share it with everyone too.
