Whatever your approach to food--vegan, gluten free, omnivore, or vegetarian--protein is a key component to health. But all proteins are not created equal, and it’s time to get picky with the what’s and why’s of your protein sourcing.
First, read labels
Whether you’re picking up yogurt at the grocery store or considering a new protein powder, labels are important. Does it say “Certified Organic” or the mysterious “All Natural”? Are there artificial sweeteners? How many calories per serving? What does the ingredients list look like? A recent survey shows that Americans spend more time deciding what to watch on Netflix than reading food labels, but much of what we need to know about what is going into our bodies is right there on the box. The first step in learning the importance of clean protein is understanding where the information lies, and most of it can be found on the packaging. At Orgain we’re proud to display our Certifications, Nutrition Information, and Ingredients as often as possible.
