In our vegan Shakeology formulas, we blended brown rice protein with pea protein to create a complete protein source with high levels of lysine and methionine. These two very important amino acids are often limited in most plant-based diets. Along with brown rice protein and pea protein, we also blended in sacha inchi, chia, quinoa, flax, amaranth, and spirulina. There is absolutely no soy protein used in any Shakeology formulations. Though crafting this proprietary plant-based protein blend might sound easy, it truly is a rare feat.
SUPERFOOD, SUPER PROTEIN: SACHA INCHI.
Not only is sacha inchi a great source of protein, it's also a superfood. Which makes this Shakeology ingredient twice as good for you.
An organic vegetable protein that's easily assimilated
- Naturally rich in good fats and fiber, which help control your appetite.
- Helps promote the body's natural anti-inflammatory response.
- Has a high concentration of omega fatty acids-providing a perfect balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9
SHAKEOLOGY NON-VEGAN FORMULAS USE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATES INSTEAD OF CONCENTRATES.
If you're thinking to yourself right now, "Why isolates? What's the difference between an isolate and a concentrate? And why should I care?" keep reading.
- Whey protein is a high-quality complete protein with rich amounts of all the essential and branched-chain amino acids.
- Isolates are purer than concentrates, containing 90% or more protein.
- Concentrates contain between 29% and 89% protein.
- Whey protein isolates are the purest form of whey protein, which is why they're assimilated so quickly and efficiently into the body.
- Isolates contain very little, if any, fat and lactose.
- Isolates are a great choice if you're lactose intolerant, or if you experience bloating or other problems associated with concentrates.
