The demand for plant-based protein options is increasing exponentially as more consumers seek to decrease or eliminate animal-sourced products from their diet, which is seeing new products like the Z Natural Foods Organic Vanilla Cream Vegan Protein come about. The product is crafted with a plant-based protein mix that consists of organic pea, rice and pumpkin seeds, which contribute towards a profile with high levels of amino acids as well as essential fatty acids. The product contains no synthetic ingredients or fillers to make it suitable for health-conscious consumers looking for a natural way to up their protein intake.
Marketing Director of Z Natural Foods Sam Hirschberg spoke on the new Organic Vanilla Cream Vegan Protein saying, "For a vegan and vegetarian lifestyle, finding a complete plant-based protein that has a quality amino acid profile can be a challenge. Our customers really like this protein powder, not just for the creamy texture and the coconut flavor with a hint of sweetness, but for the simple pure ingredients that provide an exceptionally high amount of nutrition."
