I like the VegaOne nutrition shake. I actually think the chocolate flavor is ... too chocolatey... weird huh? And I'm a chocolaholic. But this shake made me feel energized and kept me full from breakfast well into lunch. I will probably end up purchasing the berry flavor though since the chocolate was overwhelming.

I'm considering adding a protein shake on the days I do strength training, now that I'm shifting my focus from only "fat loss" to muscle building as well. There are SO many protein powders on the market, it's dizzying. What's the best, in your opinion or experience, vegan protein powder for a woman? If it matters, I'd probably mix it with almond milk.

Hemp protein.

If you want to save $, you could also go with a non-commercial brand and custom mix your own vegan powder through here:

They have non-GMO brown rice, hemp, pea and non-GMO soy powders.

Hi there,

I started to be vegetarian since I am 14 years old, later I stopped also to take any milk and eggs so that I became vegan - So I am plant based since 28 years, because of my hobby, the weightlifting, I get asked many times like any vegan, about where do I get my protein form, I don’t know why meat eaters always believe that it is difficult to get protein on a plant based diet – I don’t have any problem - and it is a fact, that vegans get even better and more healthier protein – My to sources are: Lupine, Legumes, Spinaches and broccoli, nuts and of course I love to combine Pea and Rice as this offers the best available amino acid profile. Beside I like to take also each day 2-3 vegan protein shakes from www.veggie-style.com – this is Since I decided to burn body fat and reduce my body weight from 143 Kg to now 113 kg, I started to use also protein shakes, as they make it easy for me to don’t eat after my second meal at midday but I still get all the nutrients with the POWER GREEN SHAKE from VEGGIE STYLE – they have all natural and 100% vegan supplements.
VEGGIE STYLE – they several vegan and 100% plant based protein shakes and powders with chocolate and vanilla flavor, all natural and made from pea and rice protein isolate. They also have a very good vegan protein shake formula which includes also many plant super foods such as Moringa, Spirulina, Maca, Hemp, Qunioa, Chlorella and more – I love this one, as this is the one I use and it really gives me an extra power, and what I like is, that it is completely natural and it contains in a natural and chemical way all nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc – from so much Spirulina, hemp and moringa it turns the water directly into a nutrition dense power green shake – I love www.veggie-style.com for me it is a brand made from vegan for vegan with completely natural. Just have a look on the web of VEGGIE-STYLE in http://www.veggie-style.com.

I settled down with Now brand Pea Protein powder. It is the cheapest OK tasting vegan protein powder I could find.

I also mix it with almond milk, banana & strawberry as a smoothie.

I use my protein pea isolate, it's pretty nasty just mixed with water but I have it blizted with yoghurt and a banana and some cinnamon for taste. It's apparently better added to stews, soups etc too.

Comparatively very cheap, no added sugar, sweetners or crap like that and good numbers on the protein hit I think a scoop is about 28g of pn and 130 calories.

I'm not vegan by the way, I just don't want to have whey or anything flavoured so this works for me.

I like Rainbow Light Protein Energizer. I love the chocolate, but the vanilla is actually good too (a lot of vanilla-flavoured things taste too sweet or chemical-y to me). It's in the MFP database, so you can check out the stats.

No gluten, yeast, milk, eggs, soy, nuts, or fish products. It's brown rice protein-based, and its one of the only powders that doesn't upset my stomach.

Vega tastes good and has gotten popular recently, but my guts get extremely uncomfortable after drinking it (my coworker had the same reaction).

If you can, try out small packets (usually $2-3 and found at supplement or health food stores) of different brands before committing to a larger purchase. Even if the ingredients and macros look good, it may taste yucky or not sit well with you.

Do you mind telling me why you don't want whey, if you are not opposed to animal products? I'm new to the world of protein enhancement and I haven't heard this comment yet.

Edit: Sorry, this comment was directed at pinktoesjb.

I've heard of Pea (from peas, obviously, I'm not being a smarty pants) protein. I saw it on the net. Look it up. I read it's a pretty good source of protein.

I like True Nutrition "pea protein concentrate" chocolate peanut butter cup flavor.

Vega is always my preferred brand. It tastes good and makes me feel like I'm getting what I paid for.

I have tried the hemp protein powder because I thought it would be healthier than whey.. but I cannot stand the taste of it! I would rather stick with whey protein powders. It is an acquired taste, but I guess I still need to get used to it or try to hide the taste somehow.
