Vegan Protein Powder... Anyone have a recommendation?



Recommended Posts

Hello! I am going to be scheduled September 21, 2017… That is if Blue Cross approves, otherwise I have to wait until early October. I am borderline Celiacs Disease and I am allergic to wheat gluten salmon and corn. I need a good recommendation for a dairy free Protein Powder that can provide 25 or more grams of per serving.

I've tested several different vegan Protein powders:
PlantFusion vanilla & chocolate: both very good. I bought a big 2lbs tub for each of these.
VegaOne mixed berry, coconut almond, French vanilla, chocolate: all good. These are 'protein & greens' so the shake turns greenish. It has a bit more grainy texture than the PlantFusion brand.
NaturePlus Spiru-tein chocolate: good
Growing Naturals rice protein vanilla: good
Garden of Life sport, vanilla: really gross
Sprouts vegan protein vanilla & chocolate: did not like this one at all

I hope this helps!

I forgot to say I mix all mine with unsweetened almond milk. I also bought a popsicle making kit and I'm making a bunch of those from the Protein Shakes I like.

VegaOne is my go-to Protein Powder. I like the chai flavor and make it in the blender with frozen fruit. It has 20g Protein plus Vitamins and Fiber. I prefer the VegaOne line and not the Vega Protein & Greens line - i find those a ilttle gritty.

Any soy Protein isolate should fit your criteria. There are plenty of them out there. Try several to find your favorite. I use Powerstar.

VEGA is a great choice, too, when it comes to the ingredients. (However, it's very pricy and I think it's very sweet).

I use Orgain and Garden of Life RAW Fit. Both are plant based, organic and available on Amazon. I mix the two using half servings. The Garden of Life tends to get really frothy in my Nutribullet on its own.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
