VegEssential is a plant-based protein powder that we recommend at the clinic. In each scoop it has 27g of protein, 7g of fiber, 2g Omega 3 plant oils, ~5000 ORAC units (antioxidants), 6-8 servings of vegetables and over 100% of RDA of 13 vitamins and minerals. We recommend having a scoop in your smoothie but if you are looking for other ways to get this super powder in your diet here are 2 recipes to consider.
