According to Paul Hodge, CEO and co-founder of Laird Superfood, "We set out to create an effective plant-based protein powder that is easier on the digestive system than the ones currently in the market. At the same time, we wanted to develop a plant-based protein powder that has all nine essential aminos that our bodies don't produce." The plant-based protein powder is made from a blend of seed proteins and [functional mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-coffee1), and it contains no rice or pea protein, or preservatives. The product is packed with a plant-based protein from sources like hemp seeds, pumpkin and sacha inchi seeds.
