There are many top 10 vegan protein articles but this one is different because I’m focusing on the top 10 HEALTHIEST choices. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not just about being plant based, It’s about a vegan protein powder that’s also a healthy option. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To write this article I’ve had to focus on some key questions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the ingredients organic? <\/strong>It needs to be organic for it to be classed as a healthy plant based protein powder<\/a>. Every product on this list is either fully organic or mostly organic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are they heavy metal tested?<\/strong> There was a study in 2018 by Clean Label Project<\/a> which showed alarming levels of heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, and lead have been found in some of the most popular plant based protein products. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though all the brands on this list have some of the best quality ingredients, only a few test for heavy metals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the Protein source? <\/strong>Some protein sources are better than others, for example most people want to avoid soy-based powders as soy crops in the United States are often genetically modified (GMO) and are a common allergen. In this list, I’ll mention where the protein source comes from.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it Gluten free?<\/strong> This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be healthier but a lot of people avoid gluten today because of health complications, so if a protein powder on this list is gluten-free<\/a> I’ll mention it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it contain added sugar? <\/strong>Man, I ain’t got no time for those sugar-loaded supplements. To be a contender for the most healthiest vegan shake then it better not have added sugar!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it contain artificial flavors?<\/strong> The ingredients better be all-natural and good to be a contender on this list. Many whey or plant based protein powders are full of artificial flavors and sweetness so that’s why I’ve made sure to check whether these did or didn’t have any in.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it GMO free?<\/strong> Genetically modified ingredients? Er, NO THANKS! If you’re health-conscious then you’ll know you don’t want to be consuming GMOs. The good news is, all the products on this list are GMO-free!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as you’ll see below that’s what I focused on when I put together this top ten list. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, you’ll now be able to decide what ones the best for you!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
