Little Vegan Green Beans Making a Big Impact

UK based, feel-good nutrition specialists, Pulsin, offers multi- award-winning ranges of vegan protein-rich powders.

Sustainablity at the forefront

One of Pulsin’s most sustainable sources of plant protein powders is its faba beans range, containing around 80% protein.

The highly nutritious faba bean (aka broad bean), has a low water footprint and the lowest CO2 emissions of all legumes and pulses. Other agronomic advantages of fava beans include improving soil quality, supporting microbials in the soil food web, attracting pollinators with its abundant flowers and can be cultivated locally.

Vegan powerhouse powders

Containing the same protein content of 90% as milk-based whey protein, faba bean protein powders offer the perfect substitute to whey, with around an 80-90% lower carbon footprint. Faba bean protein is also much more easily and more efficiently extracted to make a consumable powder.

Pulsin’s faba bean protein powders are also really good for you! Bursting with protein, these little green beans will help aid recovery after workouts and boost muscle growth and energy levels as part of a healthy, meat-free diet. The Pulsin range is also hypoallergenic, naturally gluten- and dairy-free and vegan friendly, and a 100% plant-based protein source.

More than just a protein for shakes

Whether you’re mixing the powder to create a shake or smoothie or adding to soups and stews or for baking Pulsin’s faba bean protein powders have practically little to no taste or grainy texture, unlike pea or rice protein powders. Pulsin also makes a great flavoured vanilla flavoured faba bean protein powder perfect for sweet treats and bakes.

Availability

Other protein powders in Pulsin’s range include unflavoured (pea, rice, soya and hemp, and Chocolate Pea flavour, perfect for on-the-go protein shakes. Pulsin’s protein powders contain no palm oil, and are gluten-free, plant-based and suitable for vegetarians. RRP £8.99 (250g) or £19.99 (1kg).
