By Katrina Scott onYou know we choose the BEST, highest-quality ingredients for your Tone It Up Protein — and we went through a lot of testing and trials to get it just right. When it comes to protein, there are a lot of different types, so today we’re breaking down some of the options, the main differences, and what your TIU protein is made of. Only the best for this team!

What Is In Your Protein:
Tone It Up Protein is made with a blend of pea and pumpkin seed protein!
Pea Protein
Our pea protein is made by extracting protein from yellow split peas. It’s entirely plant-based, so it’s amazing for everyone. Some of the other perks
✓ Naturally gluten-free
✓ Dairy-free
✓ Rich in iron, which supports a healthy immune system
✓ Pea protein is one of the few plant-based complete proteins, which means it contains all 9 of the essential amino acids the body needs (your bod doesn’t produce these on its own). Getting these amino acids is KEY to forming lean muscle, boosting your metabolism, and recovering post-workout.
✓ Delicious, smooth taste!
Pumpkin Seed Protein
Pumpkin seed protein is made from, you guessed it, pumpkin seeds, and it’s also completely plant-based. Plus…
✓ Naturally gluten-free
✓ Dairy-free
✓ Amazing source of vitamin E and magnesium
✓ Rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
✓ It’s also a complete protein!
✓ And of course that delicious taste!
