If you’re working out regularly and chasing fitness goals, chances are you’re reaching for a branded protein powder. But have you paused to check what’s inside that shiny pack?
Artificial sweeteners. Chemical additives. Synthetic isolates.
Modern protein powders often promise strength but can silently burden your digestion, hormones, and energy in the long run.
Let’s flip the script with something pure, potent, and deeply rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom — a homemade protein powder crafted from whole, natural ingredients your body will actually recognize and absorb.
Why Say No to Market Protein Powders?
- Hidden Additives: Most contain artificial flavors, preservatives, thickeners, or sweeteners that irritate the gut.
- One-Nutrient Focus: They deliver protein, but lack real micronutrients, healthy fats, and fiber.
- Not Suited to All Doshas: Whey and soy-based powders may aggravate Kapha or Pitta.
- Digestive Burden: Ayurveda emphasizes agni (digestive fire). Synthetic isolates can weaken it over time.
- Price vs. Purity: You’re paying more for less — less prana, less vitality.
Homemade Protein Powder Recipe: Clean. Balanced. Ayurvedic.
