I used to think picking a protein powder would be easy. Like, how hard could it be? I knew I wanted something clean, plant-based, and gentle on my stomach. I figured I’d just pop into a store, read a couple labels, and be good to go.
But wow… was I wrong.
Every time I thought I’d found the one, I’d flip it over and find a laundry list of weird ingredients I couldn’t pronounce. Or it would taste like I was drinking a scoop of flavored drywall. Or worse, it would upset my stomach and leave me feeling worse than before.
That frustration was actually the spark that led me to create EYN - Eat Your Nutrition. I wanted to take the guesswork out of healthy living and create products I actually want to use every day but that I know you will, too.
But before I dive into what makes our protein different, let’s cover a question I get all the time:
Why Do I Even Need Protein?
Here’s the thing: protein isn’t just for bodybuilders or gym rats. It’s essential for literally everyone, especially women.
Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues, sure, but it’s also crucial for:
-
Hair and skin health.
-
Strong nails and bones.
-
A healthy metabolism.
-
Hormone balance.
-
A strong immune system.
And here’s a fun bonus: getting enough protein can actually help you feel fuller longer, which supports healthy weight management. So if you’re trying to fuel up for a workout, stay energized throughout your day, or just stop the 3 p.m. snack crashes, protein is your best friend.
So... Which Protein Powder Is Actually Best?
I’ve boiled it down to a few non-negotiables that I personally follow and used as the blueprint for our very own protein blend.
✅ Plant-Based, Always
Whey and other dairy-based proteins are common, but for a lot of us (me included!), they can cause digestive issues like bloating or cramping. No thanks.
That’s why we chose a blend of pea and brown rice protein, together, they form a complete protein (meaning they contain all 9 essential amino acids your body can’t make on its own). Plus, they’re easy to digest, and they’re naturally dairy- and gluten-free.
✅ 20+ Grams of Protein Per Serving
That’s the sweet spot. It’s enough to support muscle recovery after a workout, or keep you satisfied between meals all without having to chug three shakes a day. Our formula gives you 20 grams per scoop, so you’re starting strong with every serving.
(Quick tip: Multiply your body weight by 0.36 to get your baseline protein needs in grams per day, more if you’re active.)
✅ Clean, Simple Ingredients
If you’ve ever looked at a label and thought, What even is that? — you’re not alone. I don’t want mystery powders in my body, and I bet you don’t either.
That’s why our blend is:
-
Free from artificial sweeteners and colors.
-
No added sugar or weird gums.
-
Non-GMO and made with real, recognizable ingredients.
✅ It Has to Taste Good
Let’s be real, even the healthiest shake won’t help you if it tastes like dust. I wanted something smooth, creamy, and just sweet enough to enjoy on its own with water or almond milk.
Our Vanilla Milkshake flavor is so good, you’ll actually look forward to it (no chalky, chunky vibes here).
Key Takeaways - Here’s What To Look For:
When choosing a protein powder, aim for:
-
20+ grams of protein per serving.
-
Complete plant-based protein.
-
No artificial junk or added sugar.
-
Great taste and smooth texture.
And if that sounds like a tall order, don’t worry because that’s exactly why I made Eat Your Nutrition Plant-Based Protein Powder. It checks all the boxes, supports your health goals, and actually tastes good enough to crave.
