Meal Replacement Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
