Benefits Of Vegan Meal Replacement Shakes

By Gwen Lowe


Many people lead a fast lifestyle which has led them to adopt fast-food restaurants as their main source of meals. Unfortunately, this has led to unhealthy eating habits with many people surviving on processed foods rich in fat, sugar and sodium. The unhealthy lifestyle is however a concern for many who begin to seek alternatives in vegan diets. One can easily avoid excess meat, diary, eggs and poultry by resorting to vegan meal replacement shakes.

Foods void of meat and dairy are not necessarily tasteless or deficient of any nutrient. In fact, one will find almost any essential nutrient for the body in vegetables, fruits and legumes. In some cases, the said nutrients will exist in large quantities or beneficial forms in these vegan foods. Such foods are prepared using leafy greens, nuts, whole grain products, fruits and vegetables.

Vegans can also make delicious meals from potatoes, broccoli, spaghetti and wheat bread. Other meals are comprised of oatmeal, whole-grain cereals, guacamole, fruit smoothies as well as almonds. A proper analysis of nutrient content of such foods will give amazing results.

Any creative chef can come up with a variety of delicious meals using ingredients from the said foods. With wheat flour, you can prepare eggless pancakes and cookies, or so. Other delicious meals include falafel, pumpkin casserole, tofu lasagna, rice pudding and spinach pies. The foods are rich in vital vitamins, minerals and proteins, such as zinc, iron and calcium. This means that anyone using these foods will not lack any vital nutrient in their bodies.

Although many of these foods are quick and easy to make and eat, sometimes hectic schedules or other interruptions can make it more difficult to adhere to this healthier way of eating. Vegan meals replacement shakes provide a quick solution for these situations; and with so many to choose from, busy people will never have an excuse for not eating healthy. A growing number of online and retail stores are stocking these products, which are constantly being improved both in nutrition and flavor.

You will find some shakes with up to 26 grams of pea protein and rice per serving. These provide the necessary energy to keep you strong despite the work load or heavy workout. Others will provide the body with nutrients equal to those in one pound serving of fruits and vegetables, or vitamins and various minerals. At the same time, some powdered foods have phytonutrients commonly found in those super-nutritious foods. Examples of such foods include flax meal, broccoli sprouts, millet, quinoa, seaweed, and amaranth.

The vegan powder foods come in packets of different sizes. However, you can also get large quantities in canisters. Good news is that they can also be mixed with beverages, for those in need of on-the-go nutrients. Some choose to dissolve them in water, but you will be good with almond milk too. You could spice up your shakes with fruits such as strawberries and others depending on your choice.

They also come in affordable price ranges. A single-serve packet is about $3. Depending on your requirements, you can get large canisters worth $40. Generally, both fanatical vegans and people seeking a vegan diet for health reasons have various choices available for them. This leaves the different groups of people without a good reason not to lead a healthy eating lifestyle.
