Hey, thanks so much for downloading this PDF!

In the following pages, I’m going to share with you recipes for the two VEGAN protein powder blends that I rely upon and where you can access them.

Neither of the shakes I use are purchased from major commercial brands. I shop at an online bulk supplier as it’s more affordable, and lacks bullshit filler found in many of the well-known brands.

This means more bang for your buck, plus the store I use, True Nutrition, also offers the option of creating your own custom blends which means I can tailor my shakes to my personal needs and ensure that everything is in-line with the latest scientific research.

True Nutrition services the USA, so if you are located elsewhere you may need to seek alternative options, or use a similar service (where available).

Note: I recommend whole food protein sources wherever possible, but if you prefer to use a protein shake to help you meet your protein macros for the day, I believe these are the best blends to consume.

If you have a medical condition (especially diabetes) it’s important to discuss supplements (e.g.: protein shakes) with a competent medical professional before taking them. Click here to see our full medical disclaimer.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of any European, South American, Asian or Oceanian alternatives to True Nutrition.

That being said, to assist those of you who live elsewhere, I will list alternatives for my two blends that you can concoct with store-bought powders of whatever brand(s) you choose.

If you do, however, choose True Nutrition, you can make use of my affiliate code at checkout: VEGNUT100, for a 5% discount off your entire order. (Disclosure: I receive credit on every purchase this code is used for. Read more here.)

CORY’S BLEND TYPE 1 – Soy, Pea & Rice Protein

This is my favorite blend, with the highest protein content per 30 gram scoop – which is slightly more protein than Vega products currently offer per scoop.

True Nutrition Blend:‣ 50% soy isolate ‣ 35% pea isolate ‣ 15% rice concentrate

If you cannot purchase a custom blend online, you can buy the soy, pea and rice individually.

DIY Blend:‣ 1/2 scoop of soy protein (preferably an isolate) ‣ 1/4 scoop of pea protein (preferably an isolate) ‣ 1/4 scoop of rice protein (isolate or concentrate) ...per full scoop of protein desired.  This will approximate the blend I use.

A Note On Soy:

If you are healthy, do not fear any estrogenic side effects from soy! That's an old myth that needs to be laid to rest, once and for all.

Based on meta-analysis, soy foods and the isoflavones have not demonstrated any negative impacts on testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, free-testosterone, or free androgen index in men. [Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19524224]

Furthermore, the inclusion of soy isolate appears to INCREASE free testosterone levels (by nearly 33%), while lowering estrogen (by nearly 18%)! [Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1997115/]

But, if for some reason you have soy allergies, ailments or sensitivities of some sort you can use my second blend.

CORY’S BLEND TYPE 2 - Pea & Rice Protein

True Nutrition Blend: ‣ 70% pea isolate ‣ 30% rice concentrate

Once again, if you cannot purchase a custom blend online, you can buy the pea and rice individually.

DIY Blend:‣ 3/4 pea protein (preferably an isolate) ‣ 1/4 scoop of rice protein (isolate or

concentrate) ...per full scoop of protein desired. This will approximate my blend.

I originally got the idea of blending pea and rice from this article.

The pea and rice combination is touted as a vegan replacement for the ubiquitous whey protein, as it shares a similar amino acid profile.
