Protein is an important component of every cell in the body, helping to support healthy bones, muscles, and organs. So, whether you obtain your protein from shakes, bars, animals or plants, your focus should be on the quality of the source, to help ensure your body is receiving maximum benefit.
For those who want to eat more plant foods but donāt want to give up the taste of meat, there are plenty of āmeatless meatā options. While bean and grain-based burgers have been around for some time, there are newer products made with plant protein powders that provide the taste and texture that meat-eaters crave.
