I am so excited to share my current favorite plant based protein with you all. As many of you are aware, I am an advocate for fitness and health because ever since I started to incorporate exercise into my lifestyle, I have felt better and stronger mentally and physically. My diet over the year has changed dramatically and it’s all about trial and error and finding what works for you.
To give you a bit of background, I used to drink whey protein and I would experience the bloat but never was able to pin point the cause. I have been transitioning into a more plant based diet and don’t eat meat or dairy. However, my goal was to find a plant based protein that taste good and was clean and long behold, Nuzest came into my life!
Nuzest’s clean lean protein has helped me stay on a healthy kick and always leave me feeling satisfied and better than ever. Nuzest is a plant-based protein free from gluten, dairy, soy and genetically modified ingredients. The brand began in 2005, and their goal of providing easy, healthy products to whoever wants them. They use top quality ingredients and always challenge themselves to improve every year. Everything is independently tested and rich in vitamins and minerals, which is a big reason why I love them.
The brand has one of the few alkaline proteins available, which is evident in their “Clean Lean Protein.” It is low in both sugar and carbohydrates while still light on the stomach. I absolutely love using it in a variety of ways whether it’s a shake before my workout or just mixing in a morning smoothie bowl with some fruit as a healthy meal. The great thing about Nuzest is that when I use it in different recipes, it actually leaves my feeling surprisingly full for hours so I don’t crave any sugary or fatty foods.They have just come out three delicious new flavors: Coffee MCTs, Vanilla Matcha, and Chai Turmeric Maca.
Here are some benefits of these functional flavors:
- COFFEE: This powerful antioxidant promotes and enhances physical performance.
- MCTs: Medium Chain Triglycerides are linked to weight loss and better cognitive function, occurring naturally in coconuts.
- MATCHA: This green tea with slow-release caffeine is high in antioxidants and has been used in Eastern medicine for its brain-boosting effects (due to high levels of L-Theanine).
- TURMERIC: A powerful anti-inflammatory used for centuries in Indian medicine.
- MACA ROOT: Nutrient-dense and claimed to enhance fertility and energy.
Below you can find 5 delicious recipes that you can try yourself using Nuzest:
- Vanilla Protein Chai
- German Chocolate Cake
- Banana Protein Muffin
- Spiced Pumpkin Dip
- Chocolate Protein Frosting
Now that it’s getting chillier, I love spending my weekends baking and coming with new recipes so I am looking forward to sharing what I come up with using Nuzest products! I also have a discount code for you guys so feel free to use ‘MARIANN’ at check out for 15% off and free shipping!

I’ve been enjoying the new flavors so far. You would love them!
Although I’ve heard turmeric is good for a lot of “female” problems, I have lately been intrigued by all the good stuff that comes with it and have been trying to eat supplements of that (they taste disgusting though). I don’t eat meat often at all and lactose I’ve cut off completely after realizing it’s not good for me and I would love to try these Nuzest products to see if they’d fill the gap. Thanks for the tip!

I love Matcha 🙂
Wow a vegan protein powder! Definitely worth giving it a try! Im actually watching what the health now and learning so much.
I also watched that documentary and it made me more cautious of my diet, which is why I have eliminated meat and dairy.
This is actually perfect! I’ve been looking for more protein options and it makes it easier when there are yummy flavors to try. Thanks for sharing these! I definitely love chocolate flavors 🙂

You will definitely love their products 🙂
It’s so awesome that this protein powder leaves you feeling full for so long! My biggest issue is craving sugar. I also don’t eat too much meat or dairy. Maybe one day I can be 100% plant based!
I think the more ingredients you add into your smoothie, the more full you become!
Thank you for sharing this plant based protein powder. I am glad you mentioned the bloating since I was having trouble with the same problem and never tied my bloating with protein shakes. I will definitely try Nuzest Clean Protein.
