Is plant based protein as good as animal protein?

YES! There is a common misconception that protein from meat is better than plant based protein. One of the most important parts about protein is making sure your protein sources are complete, meaning they contain all 9 of the essential amino acids, especially the Branched-Chain Amino Acids Isoleucine, Leucine, and Valine. Pea protein is a complete protein, and is the primary source of protein in Azolla Bars. When teamed up with other sources of protein such as nuts, oats, and seeds, Azolla Bars have an abundance of all of the essential amino acids that your body desires.
