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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
