Protein powders - whey substitute

ankfrances

I'm having a a few issues with whey protein. Sometimes I'm ok and other times it makes me feel sick and I get mucus (sorry ????) I maybe slightly intolerant. Does anyone have a specific brand they can personally recommend for flavour and nutritional value ?? I've done a little research but there's too much choice!
Much appreciated ????

P.s I'm more than likely looking for a vegan protein powder

Do you drink the whey concentrate or isolate? I find the isolate much easier on the stomach, I buy the ON isolate from Costco and I digest it much better than the concentrate.

Vega is an excellent vegan protein powder and tastes great. Pricey though.

I am currently using unflavored Reserveage grass fed whey concentrate. It tastes good but if dairy bothers you maybe whey is a good option for you.

I use Hemp protein

Agree that Vega is great, but I use Life Basics or Plantfusion, also very good and less expensive.

I've gone with plant fusion. Just had my first shake, it was pretty good ???? thanks for the comments guys

Rice powder and hemp powder. Some use pea protein as well.

I was using NOW Foods Soy Protein, unflavored, when I did fruit smoothies. Now that I'm low carb, I tried to keep using the unflavored but found it disgusting without fruit. I switched to Growing Naturals Organic Raw Rice Protein Powder, chocolate flavor. Although it's high in carb than I want, the taste is much better. Unfortunately NOW Foods chocolate powder is not vegan. But if you don't mind a little dairy, that might be a good option for you. Both of those brands, particularly NOW Foods, is less expensive.
