Protein is needed by Everyone. There is a misconception that protein is only for those that workout:

Protein in the form of whole foods protein (dhal, legumes, peas, protein-rich vegetables, spirulina, other superfoods), protein powders or shakes are essential
for daily efficient cellular, muscular, hormonal, nerve and brain function. Protein is necessary for the health of our eyes, our skin and nails and beauty as well. When a diet is not rich in clean vegetarian protein, it is a good idea to supplement the diet with top up protein. Please note: we do not recommend complete substitution of whole foods such as vegetables, and legumes. On average, a person needs 0.9g - 1.2g protein per kilo of body weight. The more strenuous one's physical activity or if one is recovering from an injury, a surgery then one may need more than the average 1g protein per kilo of body weight.

Women especially are prone to Iron deficiency and tend to be protein-deficient. Peas are naturally rich in iron. Dairy-free vegan proteins for women are essential for avoiding hormonal disruption, avoiding acne breakouts, avoiding fatigue, avoiding hair loss. Men and women equally require quality protein and fats in their diet for healthy skin and hair. Plant proteins will support a healthy hormonal balance, satiate the body and help with weight management. Yes, protein shakes for weight loss and weight management are considered useful in any healthy diet plan.

Breakfast: Why a Protein Loaded Breakfast (First meal) is Important

Meal Replacements: How to manual.

STRIVE products can safely be used as meal replacement shakes with the addition of plant milks, and a source of fibre such as fresh fruits (eg apples, pomegranate), vegetables such as spinach. You can use any milk such as oat milk, almond milk, rice milk to thicken the shakes and turn them into breakfast smoothies or into a protein-snack. Our products are guilt-free, rich in Omega-3s, real almonds, real superfoods and made with a Premium High grade European protein that is very rarely utilized in India. We suggest recipes that let you add superfoods, super fats, and fibres to each of our products such that they can nutritionally replace a meal. 

For quick protein top ups or protein snacks:

Add our liquid protein shakes as a creamer or as a milk to your coffee, cereal, smoothie or to pancakes/sweet dosa batters to make a protein dosa batter. Add a tablespoon or 2 spoons of the 21g Protein Powder to your Daily coffee or hot beverage to make it creamy and boost with at least 10g of protein.
