00:00:00.593 --> 00:00:03.424
Plant protein and whey are broad categories.

00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:07.180
Compare the actual protein amount, ingredients and serving

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.086
you will use.

00:00:08.399 --> 00:00:11.097
A larger scoop or a more expensive tub

00:00:11.143 --> 00:00:13.547
does not automatically give you a better protein

00:00:13.567 --> 00:00:14.187
option.

00:00:14.972 --> 00:00:17.989
Studies of particular plant blends have found similar

00:00:18.009 --> 00:00:20.986
responses to whey under their tested conditions.

00:00:21.313 --> 00:00:23.584
That is useful evidence, but it does not

00:00:23.604 --> 00:00:26.727
mean every plant powder and every serving size

00:00:26.747 --> 00:00:28.313
have been shown to be equivalent.

00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:32.334
Put both products on the same basis: protein

00:00:32.354 --> 00:00:34.345
in your intended serving and the cost of

00:00:34.365 --> 00:00:38.541
that serving. Include allergens and dietary requirements.

00:00:38.854 --> 00:00:42.138
Taste and texture also matter when the powder

00:00:42.158 --> 00:00:44.709
is supposed to solve an everyday problem.

00:00:45.478 --> 00:00:46.896
Whey comes from milk.

00:00:47.196 --> 00:00:50.200
Lactose intolerance and milk allergy require different

00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:53.756
decisions; low lactose does not mean free of

00:00:53.776 --> 00:00:57.273
milk protein. Plant powders can have allergens or

00:00:57.293 --> 00:01:00.603
troublesome ingredients too, so read the whole label

00:01:00.623 --> 00:01:01.309
carefully.

00:01:02.074 --> 00:01:05.104
When testing a powder, avoid changing the milk,

00:01:05.271 --> 00:01:08.208
fruit, sweetener and serving size at the same

00:01:08.228 --> 00:01:11.605
time. Start with a simple familiar recipe.

00:01:11.918 --> 00:01:14.056
A small package can tell you more about

00:01:14.076 --> 00:01:16.547
comfort than another marketing comparison.

00:01:17.313 --> 00:01:20.717
Protein powder is a convenience, not a requirement.

00:01:21.109 --> 00:01:24.087
First identify a meal or travel situation where

00:01:24.107 --> 00:01:26.391
food is difficult to organise.

00:01:26.731 --> 00:01:29.375
Choose a product that fills that gap comfortably,

00:01:29.741 --> 00:01:32.519
or use ordinary foods when they already work.
