The powder can be mixed with more than just milk or water. It can be used in smoothies, pancakes or baked goods to add some extra sources of protein to your day.

Soy beans are considered a pulse but in contrast to many other plant-based protein sources, soy products are complete proteins with all 9 essential amino acids. Soy products also are rich in minerals including calcium, manganese and iron.

Plant-based protein sources are usually low in or do not contain saturated fats and “bad” LDL or cholesterol. This prevents high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inflammation and atherosclerosis (artery clogging).

We need adequate protein to build up bone mass when growing and to preserve muscle and bone mass when aging. Protein facilitates the production of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1). This hormone stimulates bone formation and boosts the absorption of calcium and phosphate.

Artificial ingredients in protein shakes are digested quite slowly. Meanwhile, the undigested compounds can, similar to lactose, be fermented by gut bacteria leading to gas and a bloated stomach.
