WHAT IS HIGH PROTEIN PASTA?
High protein pasta is pasta made from ingredients that contain a high amount of protein per serving, when compared to regular wheat-based pasta. These ingredients - beans, chickpeas, lentils and yellow peas - tend to naturally maintain their nutritional benefits during the manufacturing process, making them perfect for people with gluten sensitivities and fitness-minded eaters.
Protein is a keystone to living a balanced life, and can highly benefit fitness goals. Proteins form our muscles but also have additional functions within the body, such as helping our body grow, repair, or replace tissue.
