Ep. 26 - Protein Powders and Supplements

Peas of Mind Podcast

In the world of health and fitness, powders and supplements options abound. With all of the supplement choices on the market, it can still be difficult to find quality, affordable vegetarian and vegan options. Do you really need these powders and supplements to be healthy? In this episode, we sit down for a Q&A with a personal trainer (hint: she’s been on the show before) to get the details on when you might need supplements, vegetarian and vegan protein powders, and more! Have you tried protein powders or other ergogenic supplements before? We’d love to hear about your experience! Email us at [e-mail] or tweet/DM us @peasofmindpod on Twitter or Instagram.
