I've been so excited to share this vegan protein powder round up with you! First off, let's be clear. Vegans can get plenty of plant based protein in their diet without supplementing with protein powder. It does take a little bit of planning though to make sure that you eat enough legumes, nuts & seeds, and soy containing foods like tofu and tempeh. However, sometimes we don't have the time to make that lentil soup or protein packed tempeh chili.
This is why it's perfect to have a lots of lovely vegan recipes to choose from that also incorporate protein powder. Most of these recipes are snacks that you can make ahead of time. That way you'll always have that extra protein snack ready after a tough workout or exhausting day with the kids.
There are a lot of vegan protein powders on the market but I always recommend and use Sunwarrior's Raw Vegan Protein Powder. It's not only raw vegan but also gluten-free, non gmo, and soy-free. I only use their natural flavored protein powder. I think it works best for savory and sweet recipes but they do also have chocolate and vanilla.
Either way, you can't go wrong with a little extra healthy, plant-based protein in your diet. No need to buy those ugly, tasteless and overpriced protein bars from a health food store when you've got some of the most amazing and easy to make protein recipes to choose from below.
So dive in and try each recipe at least once. They won't disappoint!

Hi Vanessa,
I watched conspiracy documentary last night and it got me thinking about veganism, and then I stumbled upon your website. I'm writing a post for my blog that focuses on Low carb lifestyle and wanted to feature/link to your post on 20+Vegan Protein Powder recipes if that’s okay with you? They all look delicious! I also pinned this on one of my boards on Pinterest. Thank you for sharing it. :-)
Of course I will credit back to you with a link which will drive more traffic to your site. Please let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather, that sounds lovely. Feel free to link to it. Can't wait to see the post up on your blog :)
Dale Buckle says
which protein powder do you use? I have a large container of vega protein smoothie in vanilla flavor. will that work for all your baking recipes?
Vanessa Croessmann says
Hi Dale,
I use the Sunwarrior Warrior Blend in Natural . It's pretty flavorless so it's great for baking with. However, I think using a vanilla protein powder should also work in a lot of recipes. Having a slight vanilla flavor never harmed anyone ;)
