Yes, you can definitely choose pea protein if you do not want to take whey protein. There are many people who are vegan and cannot have whey protein, so they choose alternatives like soy protein and pea protein. It is a good plant-based option that is easy to digest and dairy-free. Pea protein is good for people who are vegan, lactose intolerant, or face bloating issues due to whey protein consumption. - Protein helps you to build muscles and helps in muscle recovery after a workout. You can mix pea protein in water, smoothies, or even add it to your roti dough for extra protein. Here are some of the good protein brands: - Oziva Plant Protein -Nakpro Plant Protein Things to check: - Always check the label for no added sugar or artificial ingredients. - Start with half a scoop to see how your body feels.
