Best Plant-Based Protein Shakes?



Recommended Posts

I can't have whey concentrate OR whey isolates. I am looking for GOOD tasting plant-based shakes. My dietitian says it has to be under 200 calories, 10g carbs or less and 3g of fat or less, so I am really struggling to find ones that meet the criteria with ONE exception of Planted by Unjury which is super gross! That is the only one she knew of to recommend.

I tried egg Protein, too, and it may be worse than the Unjury.

What are some decent soy, pea, or rice Protein Shakes that aren't high in carbs?? I found AdvantEdge... but is there anything else to compliment it?

For reals stressing over this, lol.

Nice! I'm going to Wal-Mart on the 8th to stock up on all my puree baby food stash for the second week post-op, and to grab a ton of AdvantEdge. I'll see if they have that in stock!

Look into the store the Vitamin Shoppe or online they have a big section. That's were I had to go for mine. Because I am allergic to soy and sugar substitute.

I actually JUST got fantastic news - my dietitian is letting me continue with Atkins shakes. They are *slightly* over the fat content, but are half soy/half whey and they DO NOT make me nauseous. WOOHOO!!! You have NO CLUE how much better I feel about this!

I did buy an unflavored rice Protein. I haven't tried it yet. I figured I could add it into virtually anything for a boost of protein.

I love Huel. They have powder and ready-to-drink shakes.

Per 1 scoop, there's 200 calories, 6g fat, 1g sugar, and 14g Protein.

Huel is on the pricier side, but it comes out to $1-3/meal depending on the # of scoops you use (1-2).

I've used Vega Protein Powder in the past and really enjoyed it. There wasn't a single flavor that I tried that I didn't like.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
