Vegan Protein Powder – High-Quality & Clean

Protein powders have become part of everyday life for many people. And besides athletes, more and more non-athletes are also turning to shakes to easily increase their protein intake in daily life. For good reason: proteins are one of the three main nutrients and are involved in many processes in our bodies. For example, they contribute to the increase and maintenance of muscle mass.
Anyone new to the protein game quickly asks: whey or vegan protein powder? Which protein should you buy? A short explanation: whey is an animal-based protein powder, while vegan powders avoid animal ingredients and instead rely on plant proteins. At Vetain, we chose the vegan option and developed a delicious vegan protein powder. But besides good nutritional values, we cared about something even more important: we want to work sustainably and fairly and use real, natural ingredients.
The big goal has always been clear: to develop the best vegan protein powder in the world!
We’ll briefly introduce you to our vision, our motivation, and our products.

Why vegan protein powder?

Why choose vegan protein powder? Whey has long since conquered the market?!
Vegan powders are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to animal whey for various reasons:

• Minimize animal suffering: We don’t want animals to suffer for our shakes. We believe that in the 21st century, no animals should be exploited just so we can drink a tasty cocoa protein shake. Especially when such a simple alternative exists.
• Vegan nutrition: Sure, if you follow a vegan diet, you probably don’t want to rely on animal shakes. As vegan nutrition becomes more relevant and more vegans go to the gym, it’s truly time for a vegan protein powder.
• Tolerability: Some people, such as those who are lactose intolerant, simply don’t tolerate cow’s milk products well. Vegan options can be a practical alternative for them too.

Admittedly, vegan shakes used to often not taste very good, the texture was terrible, and they often didn’t have the best protein content. But that wasn’t because vegan protein powders are generally bad — it was simply because far less research and development was done in this area. Fortunately, that’s changed in recent years and vegan products today can easily keep up with animal products. So when someone asks us, “Why vegan protein powder?” we answer, “Why not?”.

Why Vetain’s vegan protein powder?

Why should you choose the protein powder from Vetain? There are several answers to this question:

• Our vegan protein powder is free from artificial additives. Vetain’s vegan protein powder contains no artificial sweeteners and instead relies on a natural, mild sweetness and real flavors.
• The high-quality protein powder is derived from fermented peas, rice, flax seeds, and more, which together provide a complete amino acid profile.
• Each ingredient is carefully examined and the vegan protein powder is developed by experts.
• Great values: 30 grams of powder contain 20 to 23 grams of protein, depending on the flavor.
• We produce our vegan protein powder without soy and gluten. So you can use it even if you are allergic to soy or looking for a gluten-free protein powder.
• We’ve already delighted over 200,000 customers with our products. Will you be next?
• It’s, obviously, vegan and represents a fair lifestyle.

One thing we should briefly address: the taste of our vegan protein powder.
It’s different from what you might know from animal whey products. Why? Our powders contain natural ingredients that simply bring a slight inherent taste that can be surprising at first. Also, we rely on natural flavors & sweeteners, which taste less intense compared to artificial flavors and strong sweeteners. We notice with our customers that it often just takes a little time for taste buds to adjust and for natural flavors to be perceived more strongly again. Often, our taste buds have become “numb” from strong flavors and extremely sweet products. So give yourself a bit of time to get used to the new, real taste and enjoy natural flavors again. For the transition, you can easily help yourself with a banana or some fruits in your shake.

Sustainable, Vegan Protein Powder – For the Environment

Sustainability is important to us. For this reason, the packaging of our organic vegan protein powder is designed to be environmentally friendly and recyclable. You can simply dispose of it with paper recycling or repurpose it as storage containers. Learn more about our sustainable packaging in our blog article “As a social startup in search of the most sustainable packaging”.
Our protein also scores in terms of sustainability on the inside. We source many of our ingredients from organic cultivation in Germany and the EU. In general, we focus on the most local cultivation possible and production within the EU. We also use climate-neutral shipping with DHL GoGreen.
Fun fact: the fact that our protein powder is vegan also makes it particularly environmentally friendly and sustainable. Many vegan raw materials conserve the environment and resources. In addition, like all other vegan foods, our vegan protein powder does not cause animal suffering.
That’s not enough for us: with every purchase, you also do something good for the environment. For each product sold, we plant two mangroves in Madagascar with our partner EdenProjects and donate 10 cents to our partner CleanHub.

Vegan Protein Powder – How to Use

The most well-known way to consume protein powder is in the form of a shake, just like you know from whey protein powder. Of course, you can do that with our vegan protein powder too. You can shake it creamy in a shaker or even simply stir it with a spoon — yes, it works because our natural protein powder dissolves really well. Vegan milk alternatives or water are perfect for mixing your (what we think is) best protein shake.
But that’s not all: besides normal vegan protein shakes, you can also use our powder for delicious recipes like a protein tiramisu or protein balls. Vetain’s Vegan Protein can even be used for baking — so you can easily make vegan protein bars, a protein cheesecake or even protein rolls for any meal. With protein powders containing sweeteners like sucralose, potentially undesirable compounds can form during strong heating — but not with our Vegan Protein.
With Vetain’s Vegan Protein, you can easily integrate protein into your daily diet. Feel free to check out our vegan recipes and get inspired.

Who Is Our Vegan Protein Powder For?

The short answer: basically everyone. Whether you are vegan or an omnivore doesn’t matter. Because plant-based protein is fundamentally an option for anyone interested in protein powder. Often vegan protein powders are dismissed too quickly as nonsense or a nasty alternative, but that’s by no means the case. For many (even non-vegans), our products have even proven to be a more popular alternative, and some of our customers were previously strong whey advocates. To make our vegan protein powder a suitable choice for as many people as possible, we avoid soy and many other allergens in our powders. We know that many of you have issues with them and so we simply remove them from our ingredient list. For the same reasons, the powder is also gluten-free. So it’s also an option for people with gluten intolerance.

Vegan Protein – Can It Really Be Good?

Passionate athletes know that in protein powder, besides a high protein content, the amino acid profile also matters. Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. The goal for all protein fans is always to achieve a “complete amino acid profile,” which means that all essential amino acids (EAAs) are absorbed. Essential amino acids are those that our body cannot (sufficiently) produce itself. Whey naturally has a complete amino acid profile. Many vegan protein powders are initially much worse equipped in this regard: very few vegan protein sources contain all essential amino acids. But at Vetain, we know how to solve this problem: we combine various plant-based protein sources whose properties perfectly complement each other. This gives our plant-based protein powder a complete amino acid profile!
