What is Warrior Protein Blend?
Sunwarrior has formulated an impactful protein blend that contains only plant-based sources. The synergistic combination of pea, hemp, and goji berries provides a complete protein blend complemented with antioxidant potential.
This is a perfect alternative supplement for those looking to increase their protein intake but also may have trouble with dairy or might follow a vegan lifestyle.
Why four ingredients?
Unfortunately, not all protein is created equal. In fact, plant-based sources are typically less bioavailable, contain less of the essential amino acids, and are accompanied by some anti-nutrients that prevent their absorption in the body. However, there do exist some sources of high-quality, plant-based protein sources. When combined, these protein sources can provide all the essential amino acids! As Sunwarrior likes to say, Synergy is the key!
Key Health Aspects of Sunwarrior Protein Blend
Complete Protein
As mentioned, Sunwarrior has combined organic fermented pea protein, goji berry protein, and hemp seed protein (all complementary sources) to provide the full range of essential amino acids in their cutting-edge blend. A complete protein is known is that which contains all these amino acids and optimally contributes to the muscle-building process, known as protein synthesis. Each scoop of Sunwarrior provides a whopping 27 grams of protein.
Coconut MCT's
Alongside the three high-quality protein sources, Sunwarrior has also added a source of MCT's from coconut. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT’s) are as the name suggests medium-length fatty acids, which places them between short-chain and long-chain fatty acids. These may be beneficial as a rapid energy source during prolonged exercise.
Organic & Vegan
All of the warrior protein blends are 100% organic as certified by USDA. In addition, all of the powders are fully plant-based meaning they contain no dairy whatsoever. This makes the warrior blend a perfect supplement for those who do not react well to dairy products, lactose intolerant individuals or vegetarians and vegans.
The Ingredients
Warrior Blend fuses and multiplies the power of several rich protein sources into one smooth, great-tasting formula that’s overwhelmingly superior to the individual components alone. Medium-chain triglycerides from coconut then join this dynamic fusion to create a unique plant-based protein with a complete amino acid profile exceptionally rich in Arginine, Lysine, Leucine, and branched-chain amino acids.
Yellow Peas
Low in calories, high in fibre, a complete amino acid profile protein with a remarkable amount of BCAAs. Pea protein helps to build and maintain lean muscle mass, which increases metabolism and burns fat.
Hemp Protein
A complete fibrous protein, providing the building blocks for metabolic enzymes. This superfood is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (3:1 ratio) which support the heart and immune system. Hemp naturally contains vitamins and minerals, is easy to digest, and absorbs quickly which provides energy.
Goji Berries
Goji berries are a nutrient-dense superfood delivering antioxidants, vitamins, and carotenoids with their tangy flavor.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contains essential fatty acids providing an efficient source of energy that is rapidly absorbed in the body. MCT’s also help support healthy inflammatory responses, boost the immune system, and enhance muscle recovery after exercise.
