Review by Caroline Yoder

If you're a vegan, chances are good that you have often been asked the question, "How do you get your protein?!" While it is entirely possible to consume adequate protein from a plant-based diet, and without supplements, Nutribody Protein provides a convenient way to ensure that your body receives the protein it needs.

As an avid smoothie enthusiast myself, I was more than delighted to receive a sample of this vegan protein powder. Nutribody Protein is free of dairy, soy, whey, cholesterol, sodium, sugar, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners. What remains is a delicious and highly nutritious blend of brown rice and yellow pea protein. The combination of rice and pea protein creates a complete amino acid profile, much like you might find in an egg or dairy-based protein powder.

Each 4-tablespoon serving of Nutribody Protein provides 124 kcalories, 1.3 grams of fat, and an impressive 26 grams of protein. While the protein itself is palatable enough to enjoy simply mixed with juice or your favorite non-dairy milk, Nutribody provides excellent flavor and nutrition to fruit smoothies and shakes. Consider blending a few tablespoons with a frozen banana, soymilk, and cocoa powder as an afternoon treat or combining it with strawberries and orange juice for a refreshing start to your day. See Nutribody's website for additional recipes, as well as information about product availability and pricing.
