Plant-Based Protein
by Truvani · Premium plant protein
Short-ingredient pea-protein blend, ~20 g protein, no added sugar. A clean plant option for whey-sensitive or dairy-avoiding readers.
20g per scoop, pea + chia + pumpkin seed blend, monk fruit sweetened. A solid option for readers who don't tolerate dairy on a GLP-1 (lactose sensitivity tends to get worse when gastric emptying slows). Mixes on the thicker side and benefits from blending. Clean ingredient list, no gums. Works well with almond milk and nut butter for a morning protein hit.
When you lose weight on a GLP-1, a meaningful share of it can come from lean muscle, not just fat. Hitting a protein target helps protect that muscle, but a shrunken appetite makes eating enough genuinely hard, which is where a clean, easy-to-tolerate protein powder earns its place as a bridge.
A shake is most useful when appetite is quietest, often at breakfast, or as a stand-in when a meal just isn't happening. Liquid protein tends to go down easier than whole cuts of meat on a slow-emptying stomach. Look for a short ingredient list and a sweetener you tolerate; some people find sucralose-heavy formulas rough on an already-sensitive gut.
