Vegan Protein

I've started reading the book "The China Study" to read up on the advantages of a whole foods vegan diet and although I've come to find you can get the amount of protein you need from eating full well rounded whole foods vegetable meals. However, as an active person I know that added protein will still help me gain muscle mass and enhance performance.

My newest discovery is Pea Protein - the benefits you ask? Vegan Plant based protein, gluten free, 0 grams of fat and 1 carbohydrate. It comes in at only 105 calories per scoop, and it tastes great! I mix a scoop of pea protein with half water and half vanilla hemp milk. It actually tastes like a vanilla milkshake, perfect for a sweet craving. Another good trick is to slip it into a smoothy. It seriously has a better after taste than most proteins and it doesn't hurt your stomach like some do. I cannot get enough!
