Plant Proteins

Why choose plant proteins?

Plant proteins offer many advantages over animal proteins. They are naturally cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat, helping with better management of unhealthy fats and supporting cardiovascular health. Producing them requires considerably less water and farmland, reducing the ecological footprint of our diet. Plant-based protein sources also provide fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that animal proteins do not.

The best sources of plant protein

Yellow pea protein stands out for its complete amino acid profile and excellent digestibility. Hemp protein additionally provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in an ideal ratio. Brown rice protein, combined with pea protein, offers an amino acid profile comparable to whey protein. Soy, in isolated protein form, remains a benchmark for its richness in BCAAs, the branched-chain amino acids essential for muscle recovery. Spirulina, with 60 to 70% protein content, is the most protein-concentrated plant on earth.

Plant proteins and sports performance

Many high-level athletes have adopted a partly or fully plant-based diet without any drop in performance. When properly combined, plant proteins provide all the amino acids needed for muscle building and repair. The key lies in combining complementary sources: pairing legumes with grains delivers a complete amino acid profile. Our multi-source protein powders simplify this by combining several plants in optimal proportions.

Fitting plant proteins into your daily routine

Plant protein powders blend easily into a smoothie, fruit juice or plant milk for a nutritious shake. They can also be used in recipes such as pancakes, energy balls or enriched soups. For breakfast, pairing a protein powder with goji berries and seeds creates a complete, energising meal. Products from the Amanprana brand provide an ideal organic base for tasty, healthy protein recipes.

Combining with hive products and superfoods

For optimal nutrition, plant proteins are best combined with other superfoods. Royal jelly and pollen complement your protein intake with unique vitamins and enzymes. Shilajit, rich in fulvic acid, helps improve nutrient absorption and how the body uses protein. Digestive herbal teas help with the assimilation of plant proteins, which can sometimes be harder to digest for sensitive stomachs.
