Protein is an essential nutrient found in animal products, nuts, and beans. The name protein name comes from the Greek word protos, which means âfirst.â Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells, maintain tissues, and synthesize new proteins that make it possible for you to perform basic bodily functions.
Vegan foods such as beans, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds are incomplete proteins. The only way to get the essential amino acids that your body needs is to incorporate two incomplete proteins such as beans and rice. Worry turned to excitement when I discovered the world of plant based protein powders. They offer cleaner sources of protein and have been able to mix different plant based sources to offer a complete or high quality sources of protein with all the essential amino acids.
