Green Regimen

After founder Tyshawn Bryant’s mother became ill, he nursed her back to health with homemade smoothies, experimenting with a variety of plant-based proteins along the way. Unimpressed by the available options, he created his own. And that’s how Green Regimen got its start. Not only is this Black-owned vegan protein powder delicious, but it's also loaded with better-for-you ingredients.

During her studies to become a registered dietitian nutritionist, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time, she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, you can find her whipping up veg-centric meals, traveling, and practicing yoga.
