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

Should you try this vegan protein powder?

Christine VanDoren

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.

Study finds that labeling meals ‘vegan’ makes people less likely to choose them
It would appear that a vegan label is a pretty big turn off
Vegan sign behind food plate

Veganism is an ever-growing way of life that millions of people worldwide embrace. The choice to partake in only animal-free products in everything from food to clothing is admirable. Regarding the vegan diet, some choose it for dietary reasons, others for its health benefits, and many for any animal rights or environmental causes. Whatever the reason, a plant-based diet can be a very healthful way to eat. Vegan products are much more widely available now than they were even just a few years ago, and even products that were always naturally vegan are now being labeled and advertised as vegan products, specifically. But it would appear that while that may be convenient for some, a vegan label isn't always such a good thing.
A recent study conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) indicates that meat-eaters are far less likely to choose plant-based meals when they're described using the word "vegan."
The study was done twice on two different groups of college students at MIT. In each study, both groups of students were invited to dinner events and asked to pre-select a meal choice via the virtual invitation. The menu choices were A) A veggie hummus wrap and B) A Greek salad wrap. For both options, each ingredient was listed.
In both groups of students' invitations, the menus were identical except for one tiny difference. For the first group of students, the veggie hummus wrap was labeled as vegan, while the Greek salad wrap — which contained feta cheese — was not. The word "vegan" was left off in the second group's menus.

In the first group with the Vegan label included on their menus, 36 percent of students opted for the vegan dinner. And when the Vegan label was omitted, 60.7 percent of students chose the exact same menu item.
In the second group, 36 percent of students chose the known vegan option, and 63.8 selected the same item when it didn't have the word "vegan" attached.
It would appear that the word "vegan" is something of a repellant for most people, even if the food is otherwise something they would opt for and enjoy. We'd argue that this says more about the human mind than anything else. It could be that in discovering a product is vegan, some may automatically politely exclude themselves from the enjoyment of that food, saving it for those for whom it's intended. But the assumption that someone who eats meat can't enjoy a simple veggie wrap merely because it just so happens to be vegan is silly.
Fear of the unknown and a lack of education are also at work here. Unfortunately, there are people out there who refuse to acknowledge that new ideas are often good ideas and that food habits evolve over time, often for the future advancement of humanity. Even if it's only a few vegan or vegetarian meals per week, this really is a tremendously beneficial way to eat. There's no need to convert to an entire lifestyle change and start backpacking through Yosemite sporting Tevas and dreadlocks just because you ate a salad.
As for the vegan products on the shelf that aren't traditionally vegan, like yogurt or burger patties, some of them are actually remarkably tasty. After all, it's just plant-based food. There's no magical secret ingredient that automatically buys you a kayak and changes your voter registration to the green party.

How to get rid of your love handles quickly, according to a fitness expert
There's little to love about love handles — these fat buildups are prominent and stubborn
Man carrying weights.

While they may have a cutesy name, many people are looking into how to get rid of love handles because they aren't quite as appealing as they sound. The term is about body fat that is stored on the sides of your abdomen; this is a very common place for someone to hold onto excess weight.

Love is powerful, but love handles are stubborn and are some of the hardest fat buildups to lose. Health and fitness expert Drew Manning is familiar with the love/hate journey that comes with love handles. In 2011, he worked to shed them along with 75 total pounds of excess fat and then embarked on a journey to get fat just so that he could get fit once again.

Healthy foods

Fitness goals usually fall under one of two categories: working out more and eating better. This can involve following a high-protein diet, adding more veggies to dinners, and getting into a running routine. However, there is no need to wait for January, because you can make positive changes at any time of the year!

Now, there are so many routes one can go when considering a diet. Fortunately, a high-protein approach is one of the easiest to pull off. Moreover, it's a diet that will likely involve some changes to what you eat, but not so dramatically that you'll give up on it after a few weeks.
