Meal Replacement Protein Powder

My doctor is requiring every patient to purchase bariatric advantage meal replacement powder. From what I've read it has why protein in it. My team knows I am vegan. I'm going to call my dietician, she's just not very informative on a vegan diet. I have read about many protien powders that are vegan but i don't think they are the same as a meal replacement powder. I also have stomach issues when I eat dairy. I'm not sure if the whey protein would affect me the same way. Does anyone know of specifically a meal replacement powder?

    I'm not a vegan but I'm allergic to dairy. I love this brand. I add half of an avocado to make it creamy (along with high protein soy milk and a banana). It's delicious and filling.

Have you done the usual Vega, Sun Warrior, Jay Rob, etc?

VegaOne nutritional shake supplement! It's delicious. 20g a scoop. I don't care for whey (health wise) but I will be using it temporarily since I've got protein premier covered by my insurance. After I'm cleared food wise, definitely back to VegaOne products.

I have used the vega one chocolate. I thought it was too chalky. I use soy milk since it has more protein. I am going to use it for flavor with other ingredients in my smoothies. I will try to find the others at whole foods or online in some single palettes first. The texture may just be something I need to get used to. Thank you all so much for the help.

I prefer Muscle Milk Pro Series. Taste much better and it's non-dairy.





The protein drinks look like a his substitute for when my sweet tooth kicks in. Nutritionist squids substitute don't withhold because you will over eat.

Jay Robb is whey protein so it's not vegan but the sun warrior protein looks great. They have a ton of recipes too! Thx

FYI - Muscle Milk is not vegan [emoji19], but they do have a new line of plant-based/vegan shakes called Evolve. I found them at Target. They are just about as good as any other I've tried.

And as far as meal replacement powders, there are several vegan options, though you may likely need to head to a health food store or order from Amazon. Vega & Garden of Life come to mind.

Here are some others:

I use 1 scoop of Garden of Life, 1 scoop of Orgain, & 1 pouch of Fresh Start Smoothie Blend from Costco. Mix with a little over 2 cups of water & it makes 2 16oz. Smoothies. Over 30grams of protein less than 15grams of carbs & about 200 calories.

Fred Meyer/Kroger, Walmart, Target, & other grocery stores have most of these. Fred Meyer/Kroger have a huge variety of vegan powders.

No problem. Just picked some up tonight myself.
