Vegan Protein Powder... Anyone have a recommendation?

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.
