Another protein powder thread (sorry!)

I am having a hard time finding a protein powder specific for me.
Right now I am using Jillian michaels chocolate powder -- 100 cal, 15g protein, 54% calcium, 4g carb, 2g fat

I don't love the taste but I like the numbers, specifically the calcium!
I am looking for something with:
more protein per calorie
same low carb/fat
I am hoping to find a vegan powder as I am trying to stay away from dairy.
I also have a mild rice allergy so not rice based.
(I looked into Vega One and even lower protein/cal and more carbs)

Can anyone direct me to a good brand, and even better, a cheap website to buy off of?

    I have Vega Sport and Garden of Life RAW Protein Powder. Vega is $50 on Amazon and Raw is $25 ($40+ at my health food store!!!)

    RAW: 80 cal 17g protein 3 carb 1 fat plus probiotics :) no sweeteners

    Vega: 120 cal 25g protein 6 carb .6 fat and digestive enzymes sweetened with stevia

    I prefer the taste of Vega (kinda like vanilla pudding- chocolate also available) but used RAW for a year before I caved and spent the money on Vega. They both work ok shaken with water- which is what I drink after a run/weights. But I usually make a "Green Monster" for breakfast everyday- 1c almond milk, 1 scoop powder, tbsp chia seeds, banana, 3 large hadfuls of spinach or kale- blend like crazy!!!

    Oops! RAW does have brown rice powder in its sprout blend along with 12 other grain/nut sprouts.
