EVR-Fit Edge protein powder review: The pros and cons of this vegan supplement

Should you try this vegan protein powder?

By

Considering the extra work companies have to put into vegan protein powder to make it plant-based in the first place, the flavor can be pretty hit or miss. Non-vegan powders that contain dairy ingredients also tend to add sugars that make the flavors plenty sweet and easy to consume with just water or milk alone.

So what about EVR-Fit Edge? Is there vegan protein powder that’s tasty and still a healthy source of protein? Let’s find out!

Nutritional information

This protein powder comes in two flavors: Chocolate and antioxidant berry blend. While I cannot attest to the berry flavor, I did try the chocolate flavor, and I wasn’t the biggest fan. However, this is common when it comes to vegan powders, and I do think this powder would be very enjoyable when added to other foods and beverages.

Should you buy EVR-Fit Edge Protein Powder?

Beyond the taste, I would recommend this brand of protein powder. The ingredients are natural and straightforward; there is a proprietary blend, which you would typically want to avoid because of the lack of specificity of information, but it’s a small blend that doesn’t make too much of a difference when it comes to the protein itself.

There are 30 grams per serving, which is on the higher end of protein powders in general, especially plant-based ones. The powder is also high in fiber, iron, calcium, and potassium, and it contains hardly any sugar.

Overall, I would recommend that you try the EVR-Fit Edge protein powder. You may want to mix it into foods like oatmeal and smoothies to support the taste, but it appears to be a high-quality product that’s more natural in comparison to other protein powders out there.

The pros and cons of counting calories for weight loss: What you need to know
Weighing up the pros and cons of calorie counting

Nicholas Clement first introduced calories in Paris between 1819 and 1824. By 1918, books on calorie counting for weight loss were published. Some people lose weight by counting every calorie, while others successfully use other methods, like ditching sugar, following a ketogenic diet, or starting a new workout routine. We’ve listed the pros and cons of calorie counting — one of the oldest and most widely-discussed approaches to weight loss. 

What are calories?
Your food and drinks provide you with units of energy called calories. You can read the calorie counts on nutrition labels to determine how many calories are in a particular food item. You take in calories from your food and drink and burn calories for energy.

Does collagen count as protein? What you need to know about counting your protein macros
collagen powder

Collagen peptides have gained a lot of popularity in the health, beauty, and fitness industries over the past decade, offering many health benefits, from improved skin appearance to stronger muscles. Powdered collagen supplements, which come in a large container similar to protein powder, are the most popular. You might also see collagen in capsule supplement form. Collagen supplements are made of small pieces of animal collagen and contain mostly protein. Despite this, your daily collagen supplement should not count towards your protein macro goals. Here's why.

Does collagen count towards protein goals?
Hitting your daily target protein macro is an essential component of any healthy diet. Given that protein is the building block of your hair, skin, bones, muscles, and skin, your body relies heavily on the amino acids found in protein. Not to mention, protein helps give us energy and keep us full between meals. But collagen powder is not quite the same as a protein powder supplement.

Here are the benefits of taking vitamin D supplements – what you should know
Find out if you're getting enough Vitamin D or if you need help getting more
A close-up of a vitamin D capsule

It’s not always easy or feasible to consume a well-balanced and varied diet. Between juggling a busy schedule with minimal time for healthy food preparation, food allergies and intolerances, dietary preferences, and cultural eating habits, many of us fall short of meeting the nutritional recommendations for several key vitamins and minerals. Even if you cook at home and try to eat a healthy diet, you may be deficient in certain micronutrients because some essential vitamins and minerals are only found in a few food sources or are only present in low concentrations.
Vitamin D is a prime example of a vital nutrient that is not found in many common foods in the standard American diet, nor is it necessarily well absorbed when consumed in food sources. Rather, exposure of the skin to sunlight is the primary means by which the body’s vitamin D levels are increased, as exposure to UVB rays stimulates the production of vitamin D.
However, as the hours of daylight dwindle in the winter and the sun becomes less intense, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet your vitamin D needs. Because vitamin D plays several key physiological roles, it may be advisable to take vitamin D supplements. Keep reading for our helpful primer on the functions and benefits of vitamin D, foods high in vitamin D, and whether vitamin D supplementation may be useful.

What is vitamin D?
Along with vitamins A, E, and K, vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it's stored in the body rather than excreted like vitamins C and B vitamins. However, unlike any other vitamin, vitamin D is actually a steroid hormone produced from cholesterol when skin cells are exposed to UVB rays. In addition to the endogenous production of vitamin D, there are two different dietary forms of the nutrient:
