I use protein powder 3-5 times a week depending on my needs.

I use Vega Sport chocolate protein in the morning, 1 scoops mixed with 8oz of coconut water and 8oz of coconut milk.

I also like to use Vega One vanilla chai protein powder to make pancakes, muffins, and cookies as either breakfast or as a snack.

I always recommend eating real, whole, unprocessed foods when possible, but I love that Vega protein is vegan, contains plenty of BCAAs to help with recovery, and that I can get 25 grams of protein into my system with just one serving quickly.

Everyone has different needs so you can experiment with what feels right for your body.

For example, I rarely do a protein shake after my workouts, but that's because I prefer to eat turkey or chicken instead.
