Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2014 -- Plant Head® Protein is shaking up protein options with the launch of its new vegetarian offering. The plant-based shake made from pea, rice, algae, hemp and cranberries is available for the first time at retail outlets.

According to sales estimates from Euromonitor International, consumer spending on protein supplements for general health rose 43 percent from 2007 to 2012, amounting to more than $1.8 billion in retail sales. Protein’s popularity is predicted to rise due to its well-documented impact on satiety, body composition and lean muscle maintenance.

“Consumers are shifting away from dairy proteins as they become more educated on the benefits of plant-based options. Soy is also being left behind due to concerns about genetic modification,” said Steve Marada, Plant Head spokesman and vice president brand manager at Nature’s Answer. “However, finding high quality plant-based protein sources for special diets can be a challenge. That’s why we are excited to announce the introduction of Plant Head Protein to natural retail locations.”

Plant Head Protein is gluten-free, soy free, non-GMO and dairy-free. Costing less than a dollar per serving, each scoop contains 15 grams of protein and 110 calories, plus essential amino acids, fiber, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Look for Plant Head Protein at The Vitamin Shoppe®, Vitamin World, GNC®, Amazon, Lucky Vitamin, Vitacost, iHerb, Swanson and many independent health food stores across the country.
