If you're familiar with my blog, or follow me over on Instagram, then you know I use pea protein frequently. I bake with it, add it to yogurt bowls and use it in smoothies.

I've tried a couple different brands of pea protein, but one of my favorites is Nuzest. Nuzest has high standards and their protein powder actually tastes good. Plus, it's low in sugar, carbs and additives - something I look for in a protein powder.

Nuzest Pea Protein Facts

Vegan and paleo friendly: no grains, no gluten, no dairy, no refined sugar
Easy to digest: it's processed using a low-heat, enzymatic isolation process (which is functionally very similar to fermenting or sprouting) and this effectively removes most of the phytate, lectins, saponins, and trypsin inhibitors that are associated with legumes.
No junk: free of fillers, additives and artificial sweeteners
3rd party tested: for heavy metals, pesticides, solvents and common allergens
Certified gluten free and non GMO

I consider Nuzest clean lean protein one of the "cleanest" protein powders out there. It's one I feel safe eating regularly and giving to my kids. Plus, I love the taste.

Where to Buy Nuzest Pea Protein Powder
