Protein! It is something I am always looking to add to my diet. While I am not a complete vegetarian, I do eat mostly a vegetarian diet. I basically live on salads, fruits, vegetables, and soups. While a fruit and veggie diet may sound healthy, it leaves you lacking in protein. After a while, not getting enough protein in your diet can cause severe medical problems such as muscle loss, cramps, fatigue, depression, hair loss, and a number of other conditions. This is the reason I am always looking for ways to add protein and I have to say I hit jackpot! I am anxious to tell you about the amazing Protein Toppers from Vegetarian Traveler I found!
I am super excited over these amazing Protein Toppers! But, before I tell you about them, let me introduce you to Vegetarian Traveler!
About Vegetarian Traveler
Decades ago, they decided to invite more compassion into their lives by eliminating meat from their diet. They’ve enjoyed increased health and vitality while making a positive impact on the planet. Despite the many benefits, one quandary has persisted: How can we get enough protein to fuel our active, on-the-go lifestyle?
They knew the solution should be simple. They rolled up their sleeves and headed to the kitchen to create a variety of high-protein add-ins that combine harmoniously with any meal, anywhere.
Life is a journey—a path marked by lively adventures and joyful connection. On that journey, you’ll want to pack plenty of convenient Vegetarian Traveler®; your conscious, vegan protein solution.

My thoughts:
Who would have thought that adding extra protein to your diet could be so easy? I know, right?! I am thrilled to death with the Vegetarian Traveler Protein Toppers and have been adding them to ALL my foods. They are especially delicious in soup! The first time I tried them in soup, I had my trusty crackers right by my bowl. But, you know what? I ditched the crackers after a bite or two because the Protein Toppers were providing the yummy crunch I was looking for – WITHOUT GETTING SOGGY! And, after finishing my meal I didn’t think much more about it until afternoon. Usually, I am starving by then but on this day, I found I wasn’t hungry at all.
I also love them on my salads! They add that little bit of crunch – kind of like a crouton does. Salads have a way of leaving you starving a few hours later but with the additional protein, it made it “stick to your ribs” so to speak.
I have already been telling anyone that will listen about my new found Protein Toppers and now I would love to recommend them to you too! Visit Vegetarian Traveler to learn more and see what benefits you can gain by adding them to your diet!
