I had allergy tests this week. Soy was my highest reaction. They also found I'm allergic to chocolate, cinnamon, garlic, mustard, cows milk, coffee, shrimp, among other things. I've adjusted my meals to omit these foods, but I need ideas for a shake or protein drink I can have for breakfast. Any ideas of non soy/non dairy powders that taste good? Thanks for reading!

Not sure about the powders but i mix my proteins with almond milk.

I suggest you try unsweetened Coconut "milk." It is non-soy and non-dairy.

Thank you! I love almond milk, but I will try the Coconut milk too. Hopefully I can find a protein powder that will fit into my new dietary restrictions. I have an appointment with the nut in August. Maybe she will be able to give me some ideas.

I've heard good things about hempseed Protein, though it was from a friend who hasn't had the surgery.

I've never heard of that but it's definitely worth checking into. Thank you for the idea!

Pea protein is worth looking into -- and as for soy, you are probably way better off without it anyway. Sorry about all the allergies. I don't do much in the way of protein shakes as I don't eat (drink) breakfast and for me shakes are sliders. I believe that when people are allergic to a lot of things it may be that you can go off basically everything, cleanse and start over. Just a thought....

I will definitely try that. In the summer I'm pretty tight until mid day. I get low blood sugar If I don't have a shake or yogurt after I exercise. I'll be glad when the humidity is gone so I can go back to my healthy omelets.

Arbonne makes a really tasty pea Protein shake in chocolate and vanilla. I am 8 weeks out and still find it too sweet for me right now but was using pre sleeve successfully.
