Vegan Protein Powder... Anyone have a recommendation?



Recommended Posts

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.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
