Plant Protein Remix: Crafting Complete Aminos from Millets, Nuts & Seeds
The “complete protein” myth—debunked
Most plants carry every essential amino acid (EAA); they’re just unevenly distributed. The trick is pairing foods so their peaks and valleys dovetail—think millet’s methionine meeting almond’s lysine. That’s the remix Suuperdrinks bottles every day.
Millet muscle
Millets aren’t just drought-smart grains; they’re surprisingly rich in sulfur-containing aminos that legumes often lack, and their protein digestibility rivals “mainstream” cereals.
Nut & seed symphony
-
Almonds & A2 ghee: add leucine, vitamin E, and healthy fats that improve amino-acid absorption.
-
Makhana (lotus seed): brings arginine plus a crispy texture cue.
-
Sunflower lecithin: acts as an emulsifier and sneaks in phosphatidylcholine for brain health.
Remix rules you can steal
-
1 part millet + 1 part nut/seed = complete profile.
-
Keep the heat low. Stone grinding and slow cooking preserve fragile aminos.
-
Add a little fat. EAAs hitch a ride when ghee or almond lipids are present.
Sip it simple
Our blends follow the exact formula above: single-millet base, almond extract, sunflower lecithin, adaptogens. One 330 ml bottle nets about the same EAA score as a large egg, minus the cholesterol spike.
Bottom line
When plants play in harmony, you get a symphony of aminos your body instantly recognises. Next time you reach for protein powder, try a Suuperdrinks duet instead—nature already nailed the remix.
