Protein is one of three primary macronutrients that provide energy to the human body, along with fats and carbohydrates. They are comprised of a number of amino acids that are essential to proper body function and serve as building blocks of body tissue.

There are 20 different amino acids in total. While some of these can be made in the body, there are 9 essential amino acids that people can only obtain from dietary sources. Foods that provide all of the essential amino acids are called complete protein sources and can include animal as well as some plant-based sources.

A diet rich in high-quality, clean protein supports good health, muscle recovery, and growth. All proteins are not created equal, however, and if you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply cutting back on animal products in your diet, it can be challenging to get the quality protein you need.

This is where a daily protein smoothie makes a ton of sense. In less time than it takes to make a bowl of cereal, you can blend up a great-tasting protein smoothie that will keep you energized and satisfied for hours—while also helping your body build and repair lean muscle tissue.

Q: What is the protein source?
A: Niyama’s Plant Protein is sourced from 100% organically grown fermented pea protein isolate. The yellow split peas in our protein are grown in Saskatoon
Q: Did you consider using a blend of plant proteins?
A: Yes, we looked at blending several sources with organic pea including brown rice, hemp, coconut. Brown rice often contains traces of heavy metals, so we ruled that one out early on. We love the nutritional profile delivered by hemp and coconut (additional good fats and fibre) but really wanted to make Niyama’s plant protein taste really good, not just “good for plant protein”. We believe the best protein powder is the one you actually use each day. And our organic pea protein source delivers a super clean macronutrient profile that is high in protein with zero sugars and a mild, pleasing taste with great mouthfeel.
Q: Why is it so smooth and not chalky?
A: Our pea protein isolate is milled into an exceptionally fine powder – to the consistency of baking flour or icing sugar. When you open the container, you can see just how fluffy it is. So, it mixes beautifully without any gritty texture.
Q: Will it cause stomach issues? I sometimes get gas/bloating from pea protein.
A: To date we are thrilled to say that we have had zero reports of any gas, bloating or stomach upset after taking Niyama’s plant protein. Even with people who have experienced issues with other pea-based proteins in the past. We don’t have science to support this, but there is a theory that many of the digestive issues associated with pea protein are usually with non-organic sources. Yellow split peas are a heavily sprayed crop when grown conventionally, and we don’t know the levels of glyphosate (chemical pesticide) that remain in non-organic pea proteins, but they do tend to be hard on the digestive system and not easily tolerated. We also take the additional step of fermenting our pea protein isolate, which makes it that much easier to digest and reduces digestive issues like gas and bloating. However, if you have an allergy to pea protein we obviously do not recommend you try Niyama’s plant protein.
Q: What is the sweetener?
A: Niyama’s Clean Plant Protein is sugar-free, stevia-free, and of course free of any artificial sweeteners. This costs more to make due to cost differences inherent in working with monk fruit over stevia. Monk fruit is significantly more expensive and you need to use more.
Q: Are the vitamins and minerals added or naturally occurring in the pea protein?
A: The natural vitamins and minerals are added to the plant protein so you are essentially getting a protein and multivitamin supplement in one.
