“Eat more whole foods.” It pops up in your news feed. You hear it on TV. Maybe someone mentioned it in the gym. It’s a common recommendation from nutrition and fitness experts, but putting it into practice isn’t so easy—especially if you’re looking for protein powders and meal replacements.

WHOLE-FOOD-BASED PROTEIN SOURCES

If you’re actively following nutrition trends, you know incorporating more plant-based foods in your eating plan is recommended by many leading health experts. The whole-food protein blend in Macros combines the plant protein from peas, brown rice, chickpeas and quinoa powder with animal protein found in beef, chicken and egg. That’s 40 total grams of lean protein in each 2-scoop serving.

WHOLE-FOOD-BASED COMPLEX CARBS

If just hearing “carbs” make you cringe, you still might want to listen up. Complex carbohydrates are part of the foundation that fuels many healthy diets. They include a wide variety of foods: from whole grains and legumes, to fruits and vegetables. The complex carb blend in Macros incorporates all of these, providing over 10 sources of grains, fruits and veggies.

WHOLE-FOOD-BASED FATS

Healthy fats are part of a healthy diet, too. Eating low fat—or trying to avoid it altogether—isn’t necessarily going to help you achieve the health or fitness goals you’re working towards. The dietary fats blend in Macros combines the healthy fats from flaxseed powder with MCT oil sourced from coconut.

Your goals, just like your needs, are unique. If you’re looking for a versatile, high-quality meal supplement—especially one that doesn’t contain any soy, dairy or whey—Beyond Raw Macros is an ideal choice for you. Living well starts with eating well.
