One thing to remember when pushing those limits at the gym is proper nutrition. And protein is essential to help repair and build muscle.

One common thing I have found is that a lot people struggle with whey protein powders! So a great alternative if you struggle with whey proteins is a great plant based protein.

They are way easier on your digestive track and offer all the same healthy benefits of traditional proteins.

But here’s the thing about plant based protein – It is hard to find one that doesn’t taste nasty! I have tried my fair share and most of them I cannot get past a few swigs and I am gagging those few swigs down….

So when I first tried Vega® proteins I was shocked! A plant based protein powder that didn’t taste nasty! In fact it was delicious and totally on par with my favorite whey protein flavors! That is a HUGE win people!
