                     What are the Best Plant Based Protein Sources for Vegetarians
Protein is made up of amino acids and comprises of Essential Amino 
Acids (EAAs) as well as non-essential amino acids. Protein is needed by 
the body for many important things like building new muscles and cells. 
Vegetarians can get protein from some diet sources like pea, quinoa, 
rice, etc. The amount of protein you need depends on a lot of factors 
like your diet, your lifestyle, your workout routine, etc. 
Some natural protein sources for vegetarians are soybean, lentils, 
pulses, some fruits and vegetables, etc. The market also has protein 
supplements that you can check out. To select the 
best protein powder for vegetarians, always keep in mind some points:
• Allergies: Lactose intolerant people need to be careful while taking 
whey protein as it is made from milk. Some products contain soy, and 
those allergic to it should not have it. 
• Nutritionist: Speak to your nutritionist before starting anything. Check 
your actual protein needs as well as your exercise routine. Try to 
include a lot of natural protein foods.  
• Additives: Many brands add a lot of additives. 
Unflavoured protein powders are relatively cleaner than others. 
Additives, for most part can be avoided. Some of them are: Artificial 
Sweeteners (Erythritol, Acesulfame Potassium, Saccharin, Aspartame, 
Sucralose, etc.), Gums & Thickeners: Examples are Xanthum Gum, 
Acacia Gum, etc. , Vegetable Oils & Fats, Artificial Colours & 
Flavours.
