You decide to eat less meat or go plant-based, then face the protein powder aisle: long ingredient lists, artificial sweeteners and giant tubs that never end. And you wonder whether you need one at all.
Short answer: LivWell Nutrition is a small brand founded in 2015 that makes organic plant protein blends from four sources: sprouted brown rice, yellow pea, sacha inchi and hemp, with about 17 grams of protein per serving according to its product description. It is a practical option when you need an easy plant protein boost, but balanced meals remain the foundation.
What is LivWell Nutrition?
LivWell says it started because its founders could not find a plant protein that was both nutritious and good tasting, so they made their own shakes before turning them into a product. It offers protein blends and superfood powders, including a natural blend and a coconut blend.
The problem it solves
- Getting enough protein on a busy day when you cut back on animal products.
- Powders with long ingredient lists and additives of unclear origin.
- Bad taste or gritty texture that makes you abandon a product after a week.
How to use it consciously
- Ask first whether you really lack protein. Beans, chickpeas, lentils and nuts are excellent sources.
- If you do need it, use one serving in a morning smoothie or after exercise instead of a fast-food snack.
- Buy a small pack first to test the taste before larger quantities.
- Read the ingredient list and nutrition facts on the product page before buying.
Who it is for, and who it is not for
A good fit for vegetarians, vegans and people cutting back on meat, and for active people who want protein without dairy. You may not need it if your food already covers your protein needs. If you have food allergies or a health condition, review the ingredients with your doctor. Check shipping to your country.
