For generations, peas have been pushed to the edge of the plate. Fortunately, the little legume is starting to shine. Pea protein powder is a supplement created by extracting protein from yellow peas. Peas are milled after the shell has been removed. The powder is very easy to mix, has a creamy texture, without the chalky lumpy texture associated with many protein powders. With good reason, pea protein is making its way to the forefront of protein sources! It is packed with nutrients and provides many benefits. Protein is made up of amino acids, and yellow pea protein contains all nine essential aminos, all easily digestible. An amazing supplement to boost muscle gains, without compromising taste.
Highly Nutritional. Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids, as well as branched-chain amino acids, including arginine, which is good for the heart and facilitates the blood flow. It is also low in fat and high in iron. For maximum iron absorption, take iron with vitamin C; so mixing pea protein with your fruit smoothie is ideal, resulting in a creamy thick texture that is absolutely yummy!! Recent research has found that consuming pea protein may lower the risk of inflammatory diseases. This study also proved the antioxidant properties of pea protein.
Muscle Building & Repair. After a workout, our muscles are torn and in need of an immediate supply of the right amino acids in order to repair and layer extra muscle fibre on top of these tears. Pea protein is highly digestible and absorbable, so you can take it before or after a workout without feeling heavy and get amino acids to the rescue very quickly. Peas do not contain unhealthy fats and toxicity found in many animal protein products. Protein-rich smoothies will keep you feeling full and satiated for a longer period of time than fruit-only smoothies.
Kidney & Heart Health. It has been shown that the protein from peas, especially yellow peas, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure while being gentle on the kidneys. In fact, it may prevent kidney damage. According to a study, pea protein powder increases cholesterol absorption and controls fat production. The protein in peas is so rich that it doesn’t need to be extracted from the carbohydrates by chemicals or a lot of processing. A three-week study conducted in 2011 found that 3 grams of pea protein hydrolysate decreased systolic blood pressure by 6 points. This shows how much it can support the optimal health and well-being of both your heart and kidney, while also making those vegan muscle gains.

Sodium Content. Please be aware that during processing the protein extraction process the peas are soaked in sodium to raise their pH level. After the peas are rinsed, they still retain some of that sodium. If you require something lower in sodium, I suggest rice protein, or do what I do; create a 50/50 mix of both powders shaken together in a large tub — the best of both worlds.

Peas of Fruit. Protein powder made from yellow peas is a high-quality, easily digestible source of protein that mixes into a creamy enjoyable texture (no chalky lumpy sludge!) …it actually tastes… good. Contains iron, arginine and branched-chain amino acids to increase muscle growth and the feeling of fullness. Since it is dairy-free, it’s hypoallergenic, guilt-free and cow-friendly (better-than-whey-waste). Pea protein mixes well with all liquids, smoothies and can be added to recipes for cooking (pea-protein-pancakes anyone?! ← yum!) or baked banana choc-chip protein cookies, waffles and banana bread!
