The good news is that in addition to the old standbys, there are now some alternative sources of protein with great bioavailability and complete amino profiles that will fit these more specifically focused types of diets!
Brown Rice Protein is a highly digestible, gluten-free, hypoallergenic, vegan protein source with a complete amino acid profile. It contains no soy, and the Jarrow brand we carry at 4X is made from organic, non-GMO(not genetically modified) whole brown rice. This is a great option for almost any diet in need of protein supplementation, and is cost effective as well- our one-pound canister contains 28 12-gram servings for only $16.99.
Goat Milk Protein is a dairy protein with a complete amino profile, and is made from goat milk, which has been a traditional alternative to cow’s milk for individuals with dairy sensitivity. The Jarrow brand is partially fermented with probiotics to improve digestibility, and is sourced entirely from the milk of free-range, pasture-fed goats. A single tablespoon contains a whopping 12 grams of complete protein!
Hemp protein is another great option for vegans in search of protein supplements. It is highly versatile, not simply for shakes, but can be used in cooking, where it can be added to soups and salads, as well as baking, where it can be substituted for up to 25% of the given measurement of flour! Hemp protein has some additional nutritional benefits as well: the Jarrow brand’s serving yields 6 grams of fiber and 2 grams of Omega-6 fatty acids in addition to 15 grams of complete protein, and is made entirely from certified organic hemp.
