Are you looking for Meal Replacement or just Protein supplements?

I don't know what the Protein source is but you might want to look at something like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. You'll have to check the label.

I have heard of pea protein supplements but have never tried any.

there are some vegan pea Protein options. I did not personally like them, but if you have a whole foods/whole body store near you they usually sell one serving packets so you could try several non soy/non dairy options without having to buy a whole jar.

Hemp Protein is also an option. Haven't tried it so I can't speak on taste.

If you have a Vitamin Shoppe nearby they usually have a few non-dairy Protein supplements available in single serve packs you can buy before committing to a huge $$ tub.

As mentioned above, there's are vegan Protein powders that you might like. The brands I see most often at the (outrageously overpriced but very popular) juice cafes near me are SunWarrior and KaChava. I've never spotted KaChava at a store, but I've seen sample sizes as well as the tubs of SunWarrior at Whole Foods. I would definitely start off with a sample if you can find one. I want to say that I saw them at Sprouts as well, but I'm not entirely positive.

You could do a search on Amazon of vegan Protein powders and read the reviews for more feedback, and to read the ingredients list.

The Vitamin Shoppe carries an almond milk that is low in carbs and much higher in protein than other brands, while still being reasonably tasty (in my opinion). The last time I bought it they had a 2 for 1 deal. Hemp milk or cashew nut milk might also blend with a Protein powder nicely.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
