April is Plant Protein Month, and today is EARTH DAY! In honor of that I have an amazing giveaway of Growing Naturals protein powder coming up in this post!! As a brand ambassador for Growing Naturals, I have partnered with them on this giveaway and to tell you a little more about the month. Plant Protein Month is meant to bring about awareness about the importance of plant protein to one’s health and the health of the planet. Growing Naturals has their own Plant Protein Challenge going on, so check that out! That great GIVEAWAY and recipe are below too so keep scrollin’!!
Alright, so here are some stats.
I don’t eat a 100% plant based diet but Craig and I do have a few meatless days a couple times per week. Meatless Monday has one simple goal, “once a week, cut the meat”. Its simple and makes a difference in your own life and the preservation of our planet.
I have used Growing Naturals brown rice vanilla protein for over 5 years now. It has always been my favorite and while I’ve tried others, I always go back to it. Now I just stick to it because once you find something you love, why keep looking? Since then I’ve formed a love affair with the strawberry pea protein powder…it is SO good in smoothies and really makes that strawberry flavor pop! The chocolate flavor is so yummy to bake with too, think cookies, brownies, etc! Their website has tons of recipes you can try. Below I shared my go-to smoothie recipe with the strawberry flavor.
Easy Berry Pineapple Protein Smoothie (makes 2 servings)
- 1 cup almond milk (or add a little more if you want it to be less thick)
- 1 scoop Growing Naturals Strawberry Blast Pea Protein
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen strawberries & blueberries
The giveaway will include FOUR 1 lb canisters of protein powder, a shaker bottle, and a logo bag. So basically stocking you up on all the plant protein goodness! I love the shaker bottle! I take it to work with me all the time.

Such a great post! I try to eat both plant and animal protein. I feel like you need both for sure! Great to mix it up. I love filling my diet with lean chicken and protein shakes. I definitely need way more protein than 50-100 grams a day though! For my body weight and goals, I’m supposed to get 115 g of protein…WHICH IS SO HARD for me!! Hahah! The struggle of trying to live lean! Love love love this post girl. I love seeing your love for fitness and health. Keep it up!
Happy Saturday and Happy Earth day!!

I learned so much from this post! I’ve been thinking more and more about eating less meat but was worried about protein. Will definitely keep this in mind.
