Vegan Protein (Big Muscles) (1 Serving)

Choose an unsweetened vegan protein powder with no added sugar, syrups, maltodextrin, or large amounts of starch; compare labels and favor formulas with higher protein and fiber per serving.

Start with a smaller serving of the protein powder, then increase gradually only if your glucose response remains comfortable.

Mix the protein with water or unsweetened soy milk rather than juice, sweetened plant milks, or sweetened smoothies.

Have the protein alongside fiber- and fat-containing foods such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, avocado, tofu, or a small serving of berries.

Avoid taking it on an empty stomach if that is when spikes occur; use it after or with a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do other light activity after consuming it, if safe and practical for you.
