What are almond protein powders?
Almond protein powders are sources of dietary protein in powder form that can be used to supplement your diet. Our almond protein powders are made from whole almonds.
Almond vs egg white vs collagen protein?
You may have noticed we offer three types of protein powder: collagen protein powder, egg white protein powder, and vegan almond protein powder. The reason we offer these three types is to accommodate the needs and preferences of as many customers as possible. Some people have nut allergies or sensitivities, for example, and are unable to use our almond protein powders.
As long as you are eating a balanced diet, any of these protein powders can help you achieve your wellness goals. Just pick the one that best suits your personal needs and/or preferences.
Are almond protein powders easy to digest?
Our customers have experienced fewer digestive issues with our almond protein powders than with any other type of plant-based protein supplement. This is probably because other plant-based protein supplements are made with protein concentrates and/or isolates, which have been stripped of everything but the protein, including the enzymes, fiber, and other natural digestive aids that help you break them down.
Almonds are also prebiotic, meaning they improve the composition of your gut microbiome, and increase butyrate – a type of beneficial short-chain fatty acid – in the colon. The fiber content of almonds promotes healthy and regular bowel movements too.
Are almond protein powders good for you?
Adding almond powders to your diet is a great way to boost your protein intake. Unlike most animal proteins, almonds are not a complete protein, meaning they do not contain all the amino acids the body needs, but cannot produce on its own. This could be considered a drawback, but only for someone who does not eat a balanced diet. If you are getting your protein from a variety of sources, it does matter if they are complete proteins or not. A balanced diet will give you all of the amino acids you need to achieve your wellness goals.
Almond protein powders have the added benefit of containing lots of vitamins and minerals, healthy fats, and fiber. Research shows that regularly eating this nutrient-rich source of protein can improve body composition and metabolic health outcomes.
Do your almond protein powders taste good?
Almond protein powders are easily the best tasting vegan protein powders. Unlike other types of vegan protein powder, they are not chalky or gritty, making them a great addition to smoothies and other recipes. Our almond protein powders are particularly good for increasing the protein content of baked goods. Order samples to see for yourself.
