Organic Chocolate Pea Protein Powder

What is organic chocolate pea protein?

Organic chocolate pea protein is made from Canadian organic yellow peas and is ideal for vegans, those with food allergies and intolerances, and those who follow a plant-based diet. The peas are taken, processed minimally with a water-based saline solution in order to remove starches, before being ground, and turned into a delicious powdered supplement that can be used like any other protein supplement. The natural chocolate flavour is plant-based along with organic cocoa. For sweetness, the pea protein is sweetened with Stevia Rebaudioside A, which is a plant-based sweetener much sweeter than regular sugar, and much better for you.

Why go organic?

So, there’s regular pea protein, and there’s organic, so why go organic? Well, primarily, the reason why you should go organic is because the end result is a superior product that tastes better, has a much better nutritional profile, and is better for the environment. Organic pea protein does not contain GMO ingredients, pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals that could damage your gut and health. Instead, it is made with natural plant-based ingredients just as nature intended. The better the ingredients that you put into your body, the healthier you’ll be.

What are the benefits of organic chocolate pea protein?

Protein is needed by the body to perform countless physiological processes. It plays a key role in immunity, in the strengthening of muscle and connective tissue, in cellular health and function, and plenty more besides. Protein is found in an abundance of different foods, including certain plant-based ones like peas.

Plant-based

Protein supplements are all well and good, but the problem for those that follow plant-based diets is that most of them are made from animal-derived ingredients. Organic chocolate pea protein is great because it is made from yellow split peas and is therefore 100% plant-based and is suitable for vegans and those that follow plant-based diets.

Organic

Organic produce is healthier, it has a higher nutritional profile, it tastes better, and is better for the environment. Considering all of those reasons, surely anybody would rather choose organic produce if given the choice?

Hypoallergenic

Another great reason to use organic chocolate pea protein is due to the fact that it is hypoallergenic. This means that it contains ingredients which are very unlikely to cause allergies. Some supplements, whey protein for example, contain ingredients such as lactose, which is a problem for people that cannot consume dairy due to lactose intolerance. Pea protein however, is not a risk so those that have allergies and intolerances will almost certainly be fine.

Promotes muscle growth

Whether you’re looking to transform your physique, or increase your muscle mass for health reasons, pea protein supplements are very useful. Protein plays a crucial role in the growth and recovery of muscle mass and connective tissue, and deficiencies in this macro can leave you at risk of malnourishment. A pea protein shake or two per day is therefore a great way to meet your daily macros when it comes to protein.

Other benefits include:

• Fat loss
• Convenient
• Increased strength
• Increased muscle mass
• Stronger immunity
• Organic and natural
• Plant-based
• No artificial ingredients
• Tastes great
• Hypoallergenic

Who is it for?

One of the best things about chocolate organic pea protein is the fact that it is ideal for a whole variety of different people. Fitness enthusiasts, gym-goers, anyone who weight trains or takes yoga, pilates or cycling classes, athletes, and anyone adhering to a plant-based diet can benefit hugely from it, as can everyday individuals who simply happen to be slightly more health conscious by adding some extraprotein in their diet. Obviously, vegans and those with certain allergies and intolerances instantly spring to mind, but in reality, the supplement is suitable for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes.

How to use organic chocolate pea protein

Using organic chocolate pea protein couldn’t be easier. First off, this protein is NOT designed to serve as a substitution for food. Instead, it is designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy and balanced diet. For best results, consume 1 – 2 shakes per day, with the beverage of your choice. Those adhering to a plant-based lifestyle may wish to consume it with almond milk, or coconut milk for added flavour and increased solubility and absorption rate. To assist with recovery after exercise, consume 1 shake as soon after ending a training session as possible.

Premium Natural Plant-Based Flavours

All flavoured Plain Nutrition protein powders contain only the most premium all-natural plant-based flavours. We’ve gone to great lengths to source the healthiest plant-based flavours possible. We are extremely proud of it and we know you will be too.

Don’t be fooled by cheap potent-smelling, eye-burning and chemically-tasting supposedly “natural flavours” or “natural and artificial flavours” that burn your nostrils or eyeballs when you open the bag and have a mild chemical aftertaste or mild burning-type sensation in your throat. On top of these flavours being very cheap and extremely artificial, they’ve also been artificially perfumed with more chemicals called Aromatics that give you that potent smell sensation.

If a supposedly “natural product” smells like chemicals and tastes like chemicals, then as you had probably already suspected, it is chemicals.

When you try our products, you WILL notice the natural difference. We guarantee it.
