Plant based protein powders ..?!?!

mollyp91692

I am interested in getting any information anyone has regarding plant based protein powders. I was leaning towards pea protein but still want to know anyones thoughts,opinions,likes/dislikes,any and all info regarding pros and cons of pea, hemp, brown rice protein etc etc. I was also actually considering taking egg white protein powder but I cook a lot of egg whites anyone so I don't know if that is stupid.. Thanks everyone!

Check out Vega One. It has a great taste unlike others. If it doesn't taste good its hard to drink it.

Vega is very good and so is Raw Garden. They are spendy though. New Seasons carries the Raw Garden for 39.99 but you can usually get better deals on Amazon.com

I use a whey for shakes and yogurt, but I also keep progressive vanilla brown rice protein powder for my oats.

I use VegaOne chocolate and blend a banana in with it and it makes it very palatable. I haven't tried others though so I can't compare.

I tried the Rawfit and it was awful tasting and had a gritty texture. I still have some but just can't get myself to drink it..

You can buy a pea based one. What about soy? Does soy work?

I would think whey counts as plant based. There's lots of yummy ones!

I like OrGain from Costco http://www.costco.com/Orgain-Organic-Chocolate-Protein-Powder---2.74-lbs.product.100121465.html

I use Dale's Raw Food versions. Has a slight nutty taste to it (I believe due to the hemp). I'd do whey if my stomach could handle it.

No, whey is a milk byproduct. Definitely not plant based.
