If you’re a vegan athlete, or just someone who works out a lot, you may require more protein than you’re getting from your normal meals. If you feel like your muscles aren’t recovering as fast as they should, then it might be time to start adding some extra protein to your diet. Most athletes start using protein powder when they need to supplement their diet, but as you may already know, many of the most popular protein powders aren’t vegan – they typically contain whey and/or eggs.

Finding a good vegan protein powder takes a little extra work, so we thought we’d save you the hassle and round up 12 of the best vegan protein powders being used by top athletes, trainers, and fitness enthusiasts alike. All of these protein powders use raw, organic, and/or non-GMO ingredients – check the label on each product for a complete list of ingredients.
