    I like Amazing Grass Protein Powder in Vanilla Chai and Chocolate. Really good! They have a little bit of Stevia.

    Dom4less, you can increase your intake, 30g is the common in all labels.

    Here's a great experiment run by some people from Reddit:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag9uT-E4EIL7dFZPZnR0WVZybGtFWnRKNzdKNm9XOVE#gid=0

    It compares the actual protein content of different powders to the content they advertise. The higher the measured/claimed value (column M), the more accurate the advertised protein amount.

    Pick one that's .75 or higher, is in your price range, and tastes okay to you.


    Hmm...That is very interesting. I wouldn't put too much stock in this comparison. Your body is designed to obtain protein from whole food sources (meat, cheese, eggs, plants, etc.). It does not necessarily need to be readily available or soluble. Solubility does not necessarily make it a "better" protein powder.

    I cannot eat whey (I'm vegan) and soy protein tears me up! I stick to other plant proteins like hemp, rice, chia, pea, and mixtures. Vitacost.com has a ton of options at affordable prices.

    I use Jillian's Whey powder right out of walmart. I always wondered if that would that do the trick or if it was too commercial to be using.

    I use Designer Whey because its gluten free. Many are not, and celiacs have to be ultracareful.

    I'm using Trutein cinnabun flavor right now. It tastes amazing, and has a great profile.

    I love it for filling in gaps in my diary. I'm not great at getting in protein, so it's really helpful.
