Protein Powder Recipes using Triton Nutrition's Pro-Fit Whey and Vital Vegan protein powders. Whey is a good protein source for those who do not have a food intolerance to Whey. Vital Vegan, which consists of 5 different vegan proteins, is highly recommended and is low in allergenicity.

Triton Nutrition offers both Pro-Fit Whey Protein powder and Vital Vegan Protein powder. Robert Seik's personal favorite it the Vital Vegan Protein powder that offers a combination of five different plant sources: Chia, Hemp, Brown Rice, Cranberry and Yellow Pea proteins that are low in allergenicity because there is no dairy component. So, there is no Casein and there is no Lactose. There is also no Soy. Soy is genetically modified in the United States, it is low in branched chain amino acids and it can be allergenic. Since the Vital Vegan does not have Casein, Lactose and Soy, it means less chance of acne, bloating, gas, asthma and postnasal drip, which are commonly seen with food intolerances. The Vital Vegan is offered in both Chocolate and Vanilla flavor.

The truth is, we live in a very toxic environment so there are also two additional ingredients found in the Vital Vegan: Calcium d-glucarate and Sulforaphane, which is broccoli seed extract and these help our body detoxify by supporting the liver and ridding the body of chemicals that are found in our environment that our body sees as Estrogen such as pesticides, herbicides and chemicals found in plastics, to name a few.

In addition, the Chia seed protein expands with liquids, so it gives us a nice gastrointestinal cleansing effect. For added brain focus, energy, and fat burning, MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are also included.

When making your shakes you can add almond milk, coconut milk, coconut water or you can just add water. Remember to add fruits and vegetables to your shake so that you alkalize the shake. Protein powder by itself causes an acidic environment. Triton Nutrition offers Vital Reds, which is an organic combination of fruits and vegetables and comes in Strawberry-Kiwi flavor and there is Vital Greens which comes in a Chocolate flavor and a Berry.

If you mix Vital Red with Vanilla Vital Vegan and Almond milk with frozen strawberries, it is delicious. For those who like chocolate, Chocolate Vital Vegan with Chocolate Vital Greens will give you antioxidants because of the Dutch processed Cocoa. Add this with Almond milk and you have a delicious shake. Remember these shakes are sweetened with Stevia, no refined sugars or artificial sweeteners.
