What is Pea Protein Powder? Pea Protein Powder is extracted from raw yellow peas using a cool water process, without the use of chemical solvents.
Protein powder is a convenient way to incorporate amino acids, the building blocks of many structures in our bodies, into our diets. Its especially great for a post-workout refuel on the go.
Looking at the ingredient statement, you see Pea Protein Isolateand you're wondering, "What does that mean?" Protein powders are available as either concentrates or isolates. When protein has been separated from the rest of the pea initially, its called a protein concentrate (think, "the protein is in a concentrated form.") Protein concentrates can then go through further extraction to create an isolate, which means the protein is even more concentrated than in concentrate (think, "the protein has been isolated from the rest of the pea.")
Why use Pea Protein Powder? Peas offer a plant-based source of protein, making their protein powder completely vegan. It's gluten free, too!The flavor is very mild and therefore versatile for endless flavor profiles. Having the protein in powder form makes it easy, convenient, and quick to fuel for the day or recharge after a muscle-blasting workout. It is also easy to add to muffins, breads, and pancakes for a boost of protein with your breakfast.
Why else: If you are baking gluten free, you might consider adding Pea Protein Powder to your baked goods to extend their shelf life and improve the crumb of breads (read about the study
