Hello, I am trying to prepare for surgery and am having trouble finding protein powders that are non-dairy and include isolates, which my nutritionist recommends. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Jay robs protein powder

I am having this same struggle. I can't tolerate whey protein. Unjury Pea Protein is touted, but I thought it was SUPER GROSS. There's rice protein on Amazon. I love 365 Everyday Vanilla Soy by Whole Foods, but they stopped selling it on Amazon and there's no Whole Foods near me.

Whey Isolate is made from milk, but it's a highly refined form and has most if not all lactose removed from it. Whey concentrates are bad for those looking to avoid lactose. When purchasing proteins, if you have lactose sensitivity, avoid "concentrates" and stick with Isolates or even Casein (still made from milk but does not react the same way lactose does, if you are allergic to lactose you will more than likely not be allergic to casein, and vice versa).

I use OWYN and love it. I start pre-OP on Feb 20.

NowSports Soy Protein Isolate. Best on the market.

Never heard of it, Thanks Mousecat, certainly something to look into.
