5 Ways to Add Variety to Your Daily Protein Intake

5 Ways to Add Variety to Your Daily Protein Intake

If you're the one who finds regular protein shakes boring or you want to avoid some of the additives that are invariably present in all flavoured protein supplements, or you are a DIYer and like to consume your protein in a variety of ways, here is great news for you:  PlantVita™ has launched the widest range of unflavoured & unsweetened Plant Protein powders in the Indian market.

They can be pretty handy because they can be added to all sorts of tasty recipes. You can choose one or more raw plant protein powder(s) of your choice from: Pea Protein Isolate, Brown Rice Protein Isolate, Mung Bean Protein Powder or a Plant Protein blend (Pea Protein + Brown Rice Protein). 

Getting sufficient protein is vital in helping your body produce healthy tissue, hair, skin, and nails, as well as repairing muscles, regulating blood sugar and cravings, and even for promoting higher metabolism and weight loss. It’s also nice to have a few different ways to get your protein for the sake of variety. Mix things up with our tips for the simplest ways to incorporate protein into your life.

Shake it up: Try adding a couple of scoops to a shaker bottle along with chilled water, coconut water, or plant-based milk. Secure the lid and then give it a vigorous shake for a healthy, satisfying post-workout drink or a meal replacement for healthy weight loss or during a hectic day. 

Blend it: Combining your protein powder with a banana, a handful of ice, and a generous splash of almond milk is an ideal way to start the morning. We have tons of recipes to expand your smoothie repertoire, but it’s hard to beat a classic chocolate or vanilla banana protein smoothie. You can also try adding in one of these ingredients to your tried-and-loved smoothie for a new flavour and texture combination:

      • Peanut Butter
      • Coconut water
      • Flax or Chia seeds
      • Lemon juice
      • Cacao nibs
      • Coconut flakes

    Sprinkle it: Add your favourite unflavoured protein powder from PlantVita™ to your breakfast cereal, oatmeal, Green Salad, Dal or Soup to add richness and the protein you need to tackle whatever comes your way.

    Bake it: Yes, you can add any of the PlantVita™ unflavoured and unsweetened plant protein powders to your baked goods! Now you can make protein cookies, protein bread, protein muffins or even protein donuts on the weekends. Add a little plant protein to this year’s fitness goals or level up your favourite chocolate treat: protein brownies. A good rule of thumb: replace 1/8 to 1/4 of the flour in your recipe with PlantVita™ plant-based protein powder.

    Mix it: Enrich your everyday food with PlantVita™ Unflavoured Proteins like Brown Rice Protein Powder or Pea Protein Powder or even Mung Bean Protein powder. You can can add it to your rotis (chapatis), Idli / Dosa batter or Upma. You can transform your normal coffee into Protein Coffee. Add PlantVita™ Flex Protein Sprinkler to your hot coffee for a more virtuous version of a coffee shop concoction. Also try adding chilled coffee, a handful of ice, and your protein powder to the blender for a nutritious blended iced coffee.

    The extra fine texture of the PlantVita™ proteins blends easily and enriches your food with the goodness of plant proteins without changing the taste or texture. You can start by adding small quantity and increase it gradually to find your level of comfort with the protein rich preparations.
