Protein is a building block for every cell in our bodies. It is important to make sure that you are getting enough high-quality protein in your diet on a daily basis. For vegans, this can be challenging. While vegetable sources do contain protein it is often not at as high levels as their animal-based counterparts.
We have had numerous patients request just that, so we did our research and what we found was that the Super Shake from Nutritional Frontiers was a great source of complete nutrition stemming from peas, rice, and pumpkins. Each shake contains just 130 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, and 20 grams of protein. That is comparable to top-rated whey shakes. Many vegan alternatives tend to have very high levels of carbohydrates in comparison to dairy-based proteins, so this is a great find for those who are watching all of their macros.

You can easily mix this powder with water, coconut water, rice milk, almond milk, oat milk, or liquid of your choosing.
The ingredients
Protein Blend includes pea, rice, and pumpkin proteins. These vegetable protein sources provide amino acids required by the body for people who are vegetarians, have food allergies or sensitivities, or who are looking for a hypoallergenic meal replacement. These essential amino acids must be obtained through diet; the human body does not synthesize them.
Fibersol-2™ is a soluble fiber comprised of digestion-resistant maltodextrin. Fiber serves many purposes, including binding toxins in the intestines to aid in detoxification, helping glucose and lipid control, and supporting proper bowel function, regularity, fecal volume, and beneficial intestinal microflora. What makes Fibersol®-2 unique is that it is soluble and less dense than other fibers and does not cause bloating or intestinal gas. Fibersol®-2 is well tolerated and results in favorable fermentation in the large bowel and assists in the production of short-chained fatty acids which are the preferred fuel source of the colon cells. Fibersol®-2 can be mixed with any hot or cold food or beverage.
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are easily absorbed and easily metabolized fatty acids found in foods like coconut oil and palm oil. MCTs may assist in weight loss because they support the body’s ability to process extra calories and provide a quick source of energy. MCT oils are a preferred fuel source and unlike other fats will not be stored in the body.
