Why-I-Went-Plant-Based-with-Vega-Protein---Kirsty-Dunne-Guest-Post-Nature's-Emporium

I am proud to share that we’re hosting a Vega Pop Up Event at Nature’s Vaughan – with crazy low prices. This is my go to daily supplement, so don’t miss out!

This is very exciting news for me because this is my go to daily supplement and they key to my post workout recovery.

Going Plant-Based

I first started using Vega 5 years ago; I found that with my busy lifestyle, it was challenging to consume enough protein and nutrients on the go – especially a protein supplement that delivers more than just protein.  Whey Protein powders were just not cutting it for me – they were giving me digestive issues and bloating and I was feeling tired not only after workouts but on a daily basis.

Since discovering Vega, those issues are long gone.

Training and nutrition go hand in hand!

Here is what I love about the Vega Protein + Greens line:

It offers 20 grams of easy to digest vegan pea protein. It’s also rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), protein compounds that have been shown to delay fatigue during exercise.

This is amazing for me, because the amount of BCAAs in pea protein comes close to those found in milk and eggs, with a much lower potential for allergic reactions or intolerances.

Packed with beneficial plant-sourced amino acids

Pea protein also contains arginine, an amino acid shown to enhance immunity.

The lysine content in peas helps the body absorb calcium and decreases the amount of calcium lost in urine, thus helping to maintain strong bones.

Another great feature? Peas are a plant, so it’s a protein source that’s lower on the food chain (thus more “green”), and in line with the general shift towards a plant-based diet. 

Loaded with Greens!

An added bonus is the boost of greens it delivers in one scoop! After working out, your body shifts into an acidic state, which can affect your energy, immunity, digestion, metabolism and many other bodily functions!  The boost of greens helps to restore the shift in your bodies pH balance after a workout.  

They’re nothing like feeling gently cleansed, repaired, refueled and nourished after a workout and in your everyday lifestyle!  

Don’t forget the post workout metabolic window!

The metabolic window is a term used in strength training to describe the 30-minute (give or take, dependent on the individual) period after exercise during which nutrition can shift the body from a catabolic state  (breakdown in muscle tissue) to an anabolic one (increase in lean muscle tissue). Specifically, it is during this period that the intake of protein and carbohydrates can aid in the increase of lean muscle mass!

This window is the perfect time to enjoy a protein packed smoothie – and I’ve included a recipe, featuring my favourite Vega Protein, below!
