Getting enough protein on a plant-based diet can be tricky, especially with tight travel schedules and limited food options. Although there are shelves full ofprotein supplements, picking one that is as delicious as it is nutritious can be a challenge.

Unlike competitors, Nature’s Plus Spiru-tien is a healthy option that comes in decadent flavors like red velvet and chai latte. The powdered supplement comes in a variety of sizes — ranging from two-pound tubs to individual serving packets.

Spiru-tein combines plant protein — soy, pea and rice — with a complete panel of vitamins and minerals. The powder includes super food antioxidants, such as spirituela powder and real fruit and vegetable extracts. One serving provides 14 grams of protein and less than one gram of fat. While carbohydrate content varies, most flavors have less than 15 grams per scoop.

Nature’s Plus also offers low-glycemic versions and high-protein versions of their signature protein powder. While some of the flavors may sound a bit too good to be true, Spiru-tein is a great tasting vegan protein source. Start out with standard flavors, such as vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, before moving to more complex choices like banana split.

Better yet, order a variety pack of single-serving packets that includes a shaker bottle. While prices vary, Spiru-tein is a relatively affordable vegan protein powder and a worthy investment in flavor and nutrition. Learn more at NaturesPlus.com.
