Garden of Life offers raw, vegan, and soy-free protein powder, on sale during the month of May.

There's a growing demand for plant-based protein powders without soy. When demand rises, so does supply. Many companies will jump on the protein bandwagon, and I'm sure we'll see protein added to everything from cereal to bottled drinks. But all protein powders are not created equal. Garden of Life offers a very unique product that's raw, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO verified, and certified organic. You may find all those labels on other good-quality protein powders, but you won't find another made from all sprouted grains. Sprouting the grains first makes them more digestible and renders the nutrients more bioavailable. Grains, like other seeds, contain enzyme inhibitors that prevent digestion — nature's way of ensuring the distribution and sowing of seeds by critters. Garden of Life RAW Protein comes in four flavors: natural, vanilla, chocolate, and vanilla chai. It's on sale through the month of May at $24.99, and we're giving away a free shaker cup with each purchase, while supplies last!
