pea protein
Plant-based muscle fuel
Pea protein is protein extracted from yellow split peas, used as a plant-based alternative to animal proteins.
It appears in protein powders, meat substitutes, and dairy-free products: The veggie burger is made with pea protein.
Unlike soy or whey, it's hypoallergenic and works for most dietary restrictions.
