Where Do You Get YOUR Protein?
Of the million questions I get asked each day, this is the most common one:
“If you’re a vegetarian, and don’t eat meat, where do you get your protein?”
One of the great fallacies of all time that we can only get protein from eating animals – beef, chicken, pork, turkey and fish. The fast-food giants would love you to believe this, of course. So too, would the beef and cattle industry, the dairy industry and even the US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) with their out-of-touch, ridiculous food pyramid.
We’ve all seen the “got milk?” mustache ads on TV and in magazines, claiming milk is THE perfect food.
The facts, as usual, are quite the reverse.
Mankind existed for thousands of years without spears and knives (or guns!) to kill animals for the night time meal. Our planet is, in its most simplistic analysis, one gigantic spinning “garden” – a “Garden of Eden” if you will – full of bountiful herbs, plants, fruits, nuts and vegetables, GUARANTEED to sustain life on the planet.
We were never designed to exist on dead cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys. We were designed to exist ON PLANTS!
Today, we are ecstatic to announce the re- release of our hugely popular Protein Plus Superfood!
I’ve seen this stuff work miracles over the years, and I know this for a fact – it can work a miracle in YOUR life too!
Whey Protein with “IGF-1″ is Very Dangerous
Most protein powders available in grocery stores use whey protein, because it is cheap. It comes from cow’s milk and is unhealthy.
Think about it. Cow’s milk was designed by the Creator to nurture baby calves from birth to 500 lbs., as quickly as possible! Today, most cows are also injected with powerful growth hormones and antibiotics, that are transferred into the milk they provide. This is not only dangerous, it can become deadly! To learn more about the chronic overuse of antibiotics, read our in-depth report: What’s for Dinner: Antibiotics!
IGF-1 or “Insulin Growth Factor-1″, is the raw fuel that explodes cancer into tumors in the body.
It is the most powerful growth hormone to exist in Nature and every sip of milk, gulp of whey or bite of cheese contains IGF-1, which dramatically affects the proliferation of breast cancer cells, prostate cancer and overall proliferation of all cancer growth.
Whey protein has become a hugely popular form of protein. Just add a scoop to your fruit smoothly and you get all the protein for your entire day! Go into any smoothie store for a “healthy” choice for lunch or afternoon snack, and tell them, “add the protein boost, please! ” and they will comply with a scoop of this putrid, toxic compound – guaranteed to make you F-A-T, unhealthy and most importantly, increase your chances of getting cancer!
Just say, “No Whey, Jose!”
“Over the years I have benefited from many powdered meal replacement supplements.
Most are inadequate: too chalky, too sweet and ‘artificial’ in taste, smell or colour. Hardly surprising when you read the chemical sounding ingredients!
Indeed, few contain organic plant based nutrients with the right protein-fat-carbohydrates ratio, AND excellent taste.
Protein Plus is one of the few exceptions.
It tastes and smells of quality, earthy green super foods, sweet berries and a hint of vanilla. YUM! It’s actually so good I often eat it neat: a scoop on its own with nothing else but a few glasses of water.
I can feel the purity and quality of the nutrients as they digest. Just 1 scoop and I feel energized and nourished.”
– Caramia Hartley, Natural Health Consultant“Prior to using this product, my blood sugar would go crazy all day.. up and down.. Since taking this every morning, I now can go most of the day without worrying whether to eat something so I wouldn’t “crash”. I have more energy while working over a 50 hour work week and over all feel normal and realize I’m making better food choices. Thank you for all your hard work.”

Protein Plus Superfood:
Quite Possibly THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOOD
Today, we are proud to announce the New & Improved formulation of our best-selling Protein Plus Superfood – more than just a Protein formula – it is a TRUE SUPERFOOD with more power boosters than you can imagine.
Millions of Americans skip breakfast because of a lack of time. Breakfast is THE most important meal of your day and there is absolutely no reason to sacrifice your health because you don’t have enough time. It’s CRAZY!
Protein, especially eaten first thing in the morning, works in your body to promote fat metabolism and balance your blood sugar so you don’t go through the day craving simple carbohydrates and getting fat!
Protein Plus Superfood utilizes 4 highly assimilated plant-based proteins, perfect for anyone who needs nutrient dense nutrition, such as a diabetic or someone recovering from a chronic disorder – or anyone who skips meals – especially breakfast.
Our Protein Plus Superfood contains Yellow Pea, whole-grain, sprouted brown rice, hemp seed, and Sacha Inchi nut protein.
Yellow Pea, an 80% plant protein, has a complete protein profile, containing high Lysine content to help with calcium absorption and immune system support. And if you have ever experienced food cravings, pea protein is a perfect “fix” to stave off those cravings and has even been found to curb your appetite! Wanna lose some weight? Yellow Pea protein!
Pea protein also contains more glutamine and arginine than both whey or egg protein. Arginine is essential for nitric oxide synthesis, promoting healthy endothelial function and blood vessel dialation and relaxation. Recently, researchers discovered pea protein showed a significantly higher ability to inhibit fatty acid oxidation and to chelate free radical causing heavy metals.
Consuming high-quality vegetable protein has incredible effects on aging! Who doesn’t want to feel and look younger
Sprouted, bio-fermented, whole-grain brown rice is a high quality, complete protein, containing a perfectly balanced amino acid profile including all 8 essential amino acids, 9 other non-essential amino acids and is naturally rich in other nutrients such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, iron, and potassium.
A low glycemic index food, sprouted brown rice helps to promote balanced blood sugar and is easily digested with 98.2% absorption. Plus it actually increases absorption and effectiveness of vitamins and minerals.
Brown rice protein is also hypo-allergenic, so it’s an excellent choice for anyone with a gluten allergy!
Hemp protein comes from ground seed of a strain of the cannabis plant! While hemp doesn’t contain any psychoactive compounds, you could live on hemp alone if you had too, as it is a complete protein with all 8 of the essential amino acids, is rich in Omega-3 -6 and -9 essential fatty acids (EFA’s), fiber and Edestin, a highly digestible globular protein, used by the body to create antibodies, hormones, hemoglobin, and enzymes, strengthening the body’s immune system.
Hemp is an amazing, complete protein – you could live on just hemp if you had too!
Hemp is HIGH in EFA’s- 80% of it’s TOTAL oil volume is made of healthy Omega-3, -6 and -9 fats. The perfect combination, of course! EFA’s, are VITAL components of cell membranes, providing hormone building blocks and helping to prevent inflammation. EFA deficiency can cause brain function impairment and increased inflammation-related chronic conditions such as arthritis and menstrual cramps.
With the perfect balance of Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9 essential fatty acids, hemp protein can help boost the immune system, brain function, and help regulate blood pressure.
Hemp protein is easy to digest than soy protein because it does not have the oligosaccharides and trypsin inhibitors that contribute to gas formation and prevent protein absorption in the body. Hemp is also less likely to cause allergic reactions than soy, making it the perfect choice for anyone with soy allergies!
And one more thing! Hemp is a great source of iron and calcium, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin E, and dietary fiber. It’s like a multivitamin!
Sacha Inchi nuts are found in the highlands of the Andes Mountains in Peru. The nuts have been used for centuries by the inhabitants of the Amazon Rainforest for total body health and increased endurance. The plants are durable – producing nuts for decades!
Dr. Oz listed Sacha Inchi nuts on his list of Best and Worst of 2010 – Your Guide to the best weight-loss snack:
“Inca peanuts have 3 times the amount of Omega-3’s and twice the fiber as walnuts.”
Sacha Inchi protein is rich in Omega 3’s – in fact, the omega-3’s in the seeds can strengthen the entire cardiovascular system! According to the Journal of Ophthalmonogy, increasing levels of Omega-3 can help prevent age-related macular degeneration and promote healthy vision for more years of your life – even more than spinach! Omega-3 also helps promote healthy glucose levels and can lower your risk of type 2 Diabetes!
Like whole-grain brown rice, Sacha Inchi protein is a complete protein! It is also unusually high in tryptophan, an amino acid essential to the production of serotonin, which is a nervous-system chemical involved in regulating weight and appetite. A 2002 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, found Sacha Inchi may help promote weight loss by increasing serotonin production and, as a result, keeping appetite in check and, therefore, reducing food intake.
It has also been found to lower elevated LDL, or “bad” cholesterol levels, and triglycerides, and raise the HDL, or “good” cholesterol.
Sacha Inchi is a POWERFUL Anti-inflammatory.
ON TOP OF ALL THIS – It can also improve your mood!

Have you heard of Maca?
Maca is a nutritionally valuable tuber from the Andes of Peru. It has traditionally been used to enhance fertility, sexual and athletic performance, it has also been shown to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
It provides support to the endocrine system and can aid in providing endurance to cancer patients. Maca is also a good source of iron, potassium and calcium.
How about Goji?
Goji is a wonderful little berry, commonly mistaken for little red raisins. Goji berries have a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, for:
- Helping eyesight
- Improving sexual function and fertility
- Strengthening the legs
- Improving circulation
- Promoting longevity
- Powerful anti-oxidant
According to Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Goji berries inhibit the growth of leukemia HL-60 cells and inhibits the growth of ER positive breast cancer cells.
Goji’s are known to have anti-tumor, immune enhancing, liver and neuroprotective qualities.
Anyone who’s visited your neighborhood Jamba Juice (a smoothie shop) has heard of the infamous Acai Berry! Acai is a little dark, purple berry that grows on a palm tree in the Amazon rainforest. Brazilian natives discovered the healing properties thousands of years ago.
Acai is a combination of anti-oxidants, amino acids and omega fatty acids, all of which have been shown beneficial in boosting immunity and ridding the body of free radicals and reducing oxidating stress.
Acai provides incredible benefits, such as:
- Greater energy and stamina
- Improved digestive and li8ver function
- Improved mental focus
- Better Sleep
- Better Glucose control
- Aids immune system
- Powerful antioxidant
Chokeberry has the highest polyphenol concentration to ever be measured in plants. This means they are powerful anti-oxidants and act in the body to protect the gastrointestinal tract.
Chokeberries contain very high levels of ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). ORAC is beneficial for preventing colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammation, and also provide support for liver health. Can also work extraordinarily well to stop cellular breakdown in the brain – HUGE implications for not only brain tumors, but also for Alzheimer’s patients. In a 2010 study, researchers found Chokeberry extract may also be beneficial in Metabolic Syndrome.
Cordyceps is a “super” mushroom revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine for it’s capabilities as both a tonic and an adaptogen, strengthening the body and the mind at a fundamental level, replenishing the “deep energy” expended as a result of exertion or illness and adapting to emotional and mental stress.
Cordyceps has potent anti-aging properties:
- Restoring energy
- Relieving stress
- Physical rejuvenation
- Enhancing lung function
- Accelerating healing
- Strengthening the skeletal structure, especially the lower back region, knees and ankles
- Inhibiting bacterial, fungal and viral infection
- Increasing stamina and endurance
- Promoting deeper sleep
All this plus 12 freeze-dried vegetables; Broccoli, Califlower, Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Spinach, Radish, Carrots, Beets, Tomato, Celery, Onion and Leeks, and digestive enzymes Papain and Bromelain.
