What are the ingredients in Dairy Free Protein Powder?Updated a year ago
Instead of whey protein, dairy-free protein powders will typically use a variety of organic pea protein, hemp protein, rice protein, peanut protein, watermelon seed, pumpkin seed or sunflower seed protein. Sometimes they combined multiple together in one blend.
These formulas will also generally have an amino acid profile to make up for the amino acids that are found in animal products like dairy. Plant sources are generally low or missing key amino acids, so dairy-free supplements are boosted with aminos to support that nutrient intake (McGrance, K. 2020).
