Hi  

When I first started bodybuilding, I went to a health food store and purchased a tub of protein. It was the thing to do... after all, if I was going to build muscle I needed a protein supplement, didn’t I?

At the time I didn’t have a lot of expendable income, so I settled on a cheap plant protein supplement. Back then, plant protein was cheaper than the milk-based protein alternatives. I used that plant-based protein powder for 2 years and had great results with it.

Over time, plant protein lost its favor amongst trainees as a less effective protein, and the fitness community turned to milk-based proteins, such as whey, leaving plant proteins in the dust.

However, plant proteins have come a long way since those days both in formula and taste. Some people don’t realize that by combing certain plant-based sources, a plant-based formula can now match milk protein for effectiveness and they can also taste AMAZING.

They’re also especially useful for people with a lactose intolerance or if you’re following a vegan or vegetarian diet and looking for extra protein.

In this week’s newsletter, Coach Elizabeth shares a great article on the pros and cons of the vegan diet.

If veganism or vegetarianism is on your agenda, that leads me nicely into my next point.

If you’re looking to try a plant-based protein or you’re already using one and want to try the best (yes, we may be a little biased) then I am happy to say that we are releasing our Plant-Based Lean Body Ready-to-Drink protein shakes on Tuesday, March 17th.  

They’re 100% vegan/vegetarian-friendly, non-GMO, no artificial sweeteners, flavors or preservatives. They’re also gluten free and pack a whopping 30 grams of protein per serving.

Did I mention they’re also packaged in an Earth-Friendly recyclable FSC-Certified Tetra Pak carton? We’ve even made the caps from plant-based sugarcane so it’s entirely sustainable and recyclable packaging.

Check out What Coach Elizabeth has to say below.

LEAN BODY TRANSFORMATION OF THE WEEK MOTIVATION
Chris Grover lost 22 lbs & 4.3% Body Fat

"My goal was to get in the best possible shape of my life. The vanity part or the icing on the cake would be if I could reduce my fat to see my abs. At 43 I was not sure that would be possible. I have been actively getting myself back in shape since August 2015, when I weighed 230 pounds after 20 years of neglecting my health. After 16 months of completely changing my diet and exercising 6 days a week I hit the 18% body fat range which is normal for my age, however I struggled to get below that level. I thought this challenge would help give me the knowledge which it did as well as the competitive spirit to push myself to the 10% body fat level. I look back now at pictures of me when I was in my 20s and I look better now than I did then. I have truly turned back the clock, and I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life."
