How Much Protein Do Women Really Need? Hitting Daily Goals with Vanilla Protein

1. RDA vs. Real-World Needs

The baseline RDA for women is 0.8 g/kg body weight—about 46 g for a 57 kg (125 lb) woman—but newer research suggests 1.2–1.6 g/kg is optimal for active or pregnant women (source). For a 150 lb runner, that’s 82–109 g protein/day.

2. Why Higher Protein Helps

• Satiety & weight management—high-protein diets (≥1 g/kg) curb appetite and support fat loss (source).

• Muscle repair—amino acids rebuild micro-tears after workouts.

• Healthy aging—adequate protein offsets age-related muscle loss.

3. Meet Your Macro With Ease

One scoop of Pink Stork’s Vanilla Protein delivers 20 g complete plant protein plus 11.5 g prebiotic fiber and 0 g added sugar—an effortless 25–40 % of most women’s daily target.

*Macros approximate.

4. Pro Tips to Hit Your Number

1. Front-load breakfast—start with a 20 g shake.

2. Track once—use an app for a week; internalize portions.

3. Blend & bake—swap ½ cup flour for one scoop in pancakes.

5. Ingredient Spotlight

• Pea • Soy • Brown-rice isolates—complementary amino-acid profiles.

• Monk-fruit sweetened—no blood-sugar spikes.

• Greens blend—spinach, spirulina & kale for micronutrients.
