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 macronutrients and are involved in many processes in our body. For example, they contribute to the increase and maintenance of muscle mass.
Anyone who is new to the protein game quickly asks themselves: 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-based proteins. At Vetain, we decided on the vegan option and developed a delicious vegan protein powder. But besides good nutritional values, something else was important to us: we want to work sustainably and fairly and use real, natural ingredients.
The big goal was always clear: to develop the best vegan protein powder in the world!
We will briefly introduce you to our vision, our motivation, and our products.

Why vegan protein powder?

Why vegan protein powder at all? Whey has already conquered the market, hasn’t it?!
Vegan powders are an increasingly popular alternative to animal-based whey, and for various reasons:

• Minimizing animal suffering: We don’t want animals to suffer for our shakes. We believe that in the 21st century, animals should no longer be exploited just so we can drink a delicious cocoa protein shake – especially when such a simple alternative exists.
• Vegan nutrition: Of course, anyone following a vegan diet probably doesn’t want to rely on animal-based shakes. Since vegan nutrition is becoming increasingly relevant and more and more vegans enjoy going to the gym, it is 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 also be a practical alternative for them.

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

Why Vetain’s vegan protein powder?

Why should you choose Vetain’s protein powder? 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, flaxseed and more, which together provide a complete amino acid profile.
• Each individual ingredient is carefully examined, and the vegan protein powder is developed by experts.
• Great values: 30 grams of the powder contain between 20 and 23 grams of protein, depending on the flavor.
• We produce our vegan protein powder without soy and gluten. This means you can also use it if you are allergic to soy or are looking for a gluten-free protein powder.
• We have already delighted over 200,000 customers with our products. Will you be one of them soon?
• It is – obviously – vegan and therefore represents a fair lifestyle.

There is one thing we should briefly address: the taste of our vegan protein powder.
It is different from what you might know from animal-based whey products. Why? Our powders contain natural ingredients that naturally bring a slight inherent taste, which can be surprising at first. In addition, we rely on natural flavors and sweetness, which taste somewhat less intense compared to artificial flavors and strong sweeteners. We also notice among our customers that it often simply takes a bit of time for taste buds to adjust and for natural flavors to be perceived more strongly again. Often, our taste buds have become “dulled” by strong flavors and extremely sweet products. So feel free to give yourself a little time to get used to the new, real taste and rediscover natural flavors. For the transition, you can easily help with a banana or some fruit in your shake.

Our flavors – from chocolatey to fruity

Our Vegan Protein is available in a wide variety of flavors.
Let’s take a look together: which vegan protein powders are available at Vetain?

• Vanilla – the classic! Whether as a shake or in waffles, muffins & more, vanilla always works.
• Cocoa – for everyone who loves it chocolatey.
• Berry – a fruity option that also tastes great in berry muffins.
• Iced Coffee – a customer favorite in summer AND winter.
• Matcha Latte – the matcha trend has arrived here too.
• Cinnamon – also pairs perfectly with our cinnamon roll protein bar.

In addition, there are always seasonal highlights such as strawberry protein, pumpkin spice latte, or speculoos protein powder.

There really is something for everyone, right? If you can’t decide, there are practical sample packs that let you test our vegan protein powder first. For those who already know what they want, we also offer bundles that allow you to get multiple flavors at once.

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. You can find more information about our sustainable packaging in our blog article As a social startup in search of the most sustainable packaging.
Our protein also scores points in terms of sustainability on the inside. We source many of our ingredients from organic farming in Germany and the EU. In general, we focus on keeping cultivation as local as possible and production within the EU. In addition, we use climate-neutral shipping via DHL GoGreen.
Fun fact: the fact that our protein powder is vegan also makes it particularly environmentally friendly and sustainable. Many vegan raw materials protect the environment and conserve resources. Moreover, as with all other vegan foods, no animal suffering is caused by our vegan protein powder.
But that’s not enough for us: with every purchase, you also do something good for the environment. For each product, we plant two mangroves in Madagascar together 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 exactly the same with our vegan protein powder. You can either shake it creamy in a shaker or simply stir it with a spoon – yes, that works, because our natural protein powder dissolves really well. Vegan milk alternatives or even water are perfect for mixing what we consider the best protein shake.
But that’s not all: besides regular vegan protein shakes, you can also use our powder for delicious recipes like protein tiramisu or protein balls. Compared to many other powders, Vetain’s Vegan Protein can even be used for baking, so you can easily make vegan protein bars, a protein cheesecake, or protein rolls. With protein powders containing sweeteners like sucralose, potentially undesirable substances can form when strongly heated – 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 suitable for?

The short answer: theoretically for everyone. Whether you are vegan or a meat-eater doesn’t matter at all. Plant-based protein is fundamentally an option for anyone interested in protein powder. Vegan protein powders are often prematurely dismissed as nonsense or a disgusting alternative, but that is by no means the case. For many people (including 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, so we simply remove them from our ingredient list. For the same reasons, the powder is also gluten-free. This makes it an option for people with gluten intolerance as well.

Vegan protein – can it really be good?

Passionate athletes know that with protein powder, it’s not only about having a high protein content, but also about the amino acid profile. Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. The goal of all protein fans is always to achieve a “complete amino acid profile”, meaning that all essential amino acids (EAAs) are consumed. Essential amino acids are those that our body cannot produce (sufficiently) on its own. Whey naturally has a complete amino acid profile. Many vegan protein powders initially perform much worse 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. As a result, our plant-based protein powder has a complete amino acid profile!
