Vegan Powers!

I was going to do a review post of my favourites!! Stay tuned :D

I've been switching over to Canadian all-natural brands recently and everything I use is cruelty-free. I just ordered some Skin Essentials Products including Facial in a Jar. Lush is my go to. Not everything is vegan but most products are. They are cheaper than department store brands but more than drugstore. I love that store and think they have great value since a lot of their products go a long way. I also really like the Live Clean line at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Sorry I'm not sure when I got this! It's hard to see when you get messages on the mobile app. My thoughts on protein powders...Everything you eat contains protein! Why supplement? The average male body only needs 50-60g of protein per day which isn't a lot! Let's look at an average day for someone about my weight and height. I'm about 5'7" and 130lbsBreakfastOatmeal with berriesGlass of soymilk600 calories22g of proteinLunchBig bowl of vegetable soupSalad with 1/2 avocadoGlass of OJ746 calories27g of proteinDinnerStirfry with 1 cup of jasmine riceGlass of wine773 calories17g of proteinSnacksSoy latteNacho chips with salsa325 calories12g of proteinDAILY TOTAL 2444 calories78g of proteinThis is just a random day from my food tracker app. I'm over by about 20g and I didn't even really have any "high protein" foods except avocado. It's really easy to get your protein in folks. Want a protein boost for working out? Add some greens to your smoothie, tofu to your salads and stirfrys, snack on some nuts or seeds, eat a salad. There are plenty of natural ways to get in your protein.I don't like protein supplements because by isolating protein you are not getting all of the wonderful nutrients that come with these foods. Supplements are harder for your body to absorb because everything that makes up the foods you eat works together.
