Vegetarian proteins are largely obtained from plants, with the most common sources being hemp, rice, soy, or pea. Plant-based proteins are low in fat, high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and they contain phytochemicals with positive effects on health and the body. They are cholesterol-free and are excellent for those with lactose intolerance or who avoid dairy proteins.
Products in this category are also suitable for anyone avoiding animal-based products for other reasons. Just like with whey, dairy, or beef proteins, preparation is simple: mix with water or milk to create your protein shake, supplement your daily protein intake, or achieve better results in muscle building or maintenance.
