Now Foods makes a great protein powder for plant-based eaters<\/a> or folks who don\u2019t tolerate whey protein well. It has 21 grams of protein from peas, pumpkin seeds, and hemp, plus 2 grams of fiber (around 7% of your daily value) for 140 calories. This protein source mix gives it a \u201cwell-balanced amino acid profile, which is essential for muscle health for women over 50,\u201d Scheinman says. It also contains 45% of your daily value of iron<\/a>, which is especially helpful for plant-based eaters struggling to meet their iron needs<\/a> through diet alone. Plus, it has less sodium than many other plant protein powders on the market. \u201cOne scoop provides 280 milligrams of sodium, whereas other products can provide 400 to 500 milligrams of sodium or more,\u201d says Sheri Gaw, RDN<\/a>, CDCES, a registered dietitian who focuses on heart health and plant-forward nutrition, and founder of The Plant Strong Dietitian. The balanced nutrient profile means you can use this powder as a balanced snack when you need something quick and easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cPea protein powder on its own has a strong earthy taste tha}s hard to mask in smoothies, so I like that Now Foods uses a mix of plant proteins for a more palatable flavor. This pick is tastier than many other plant protein powders I\u2019ve tried,\u201d Benshosan says. Plus, Now Foods products are all rigorously tested for safety and quality, and backed by experts including Scheinman.<\/p>\n
