ack! I hate my protein powder!

There's protein shakes derived from all sorts of things. I've seen pea protein, hemp protein (tried it; tasted like eating a basket), etc. Is yogurt upsetting to you? You can get pretty close protein readings by making shakes out of nonfat Greek yogurt.

hold your breath & choke it down. I usually use MUCH less water so theres less volume to ingest. I will then drink water afterwards (mostly to wash away the tast...)

That stuff is like most supplements, it gives you expensive urine and feces. Eat real food instead.

I LOVE Spirutein Protein powders... they come in a ton of yummo flavors. They do have a whey version - I can't tolerate whey either so I avoid that one - but their other ones are amazing and taste really good. Some of the best ones are strawberry, raspberry royale, blueberries and cream, chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream and cappuccino. I like gensoy vanilla as well.

Do you have access to a fridge at work? I blend my Breakfast (banana, frozen berries, chocolate protein powder, flax seed and water) a little thick in the morning and take it to work. By the time I'm ready for it, it's watered down a little and drinkable.

I would also call around to your local health food stores (organic/natural foods type stores, not GNC, etc) and ask if they have any samples you can try. All of the ones around here do. The store that I go to actually prefers to order samples from the manufacturer (if possible) for you to try instead of you buying something and then asking to return it if it doesn't work.

Good luck!

I don't get it. They all taste the same to me. I've never had one that tasted different than any other. Meh!

So are coeliacs milk intolerant as well as I thought whey protein was from milk/dairy?

What dietary restrictions do you have?

All powders I've tried, I hate with water; much better with milk.

I concur!

restrictions-im a type 1 diabetic with celiac disease, i do not tolerate whey protein-mega bloat and vomiting-

I dont have use of a blender at work-registered nurse-I bring my shaker bottle

***to those who mentions getting my protein thru real food*** I do try, I honestly do, egg whites and chicken but theres only so much of that I can take!!! I have a HUGE dislike of fish of any kind! I pack protein into my breakfast lunch and supper always with the use of egg whites and lean meats but its simply not enough.

I find using a protein shake as my morning snack very satisfying as I eat my breakfast at 510am and then do not get a lunch break until 1130.

perhaps individual packs of protein powders is common among the whey based ones, but I have yet to see samples in plant based protein or soy based ones.

I am not looking to consume more real food at this point, im happy with what clean up I have done to my eating habits but I simply wanted a suggestion to a good or better tasting plant based protein powder that can mix easily in water without use of a blender-simple? I thought so.

Celiac is a bummer. I have not tried it yet, but maybe the vegan shakeologies would work for you... And rice milk is a great non alergenic mixer. I was using it for half of my liquid, and kefir for the other half, and it was awesome (I use ON GS Whey). I also put 1 raw egg, some cinamon (which may especially good for you being that you have diabetes) and I also add raw bee pollen. But the rice milk will probably be good to your palate. Kefir may work as well, as the bacteria digests the lactose (99% lactose free)... the plain is pretty low carb.

I really enjoy GNC brand protein powder in every flavor.

If you are celiac and you are eating wheat with other foods, you will possibly become allergic to those other foods. My friends son is allergic to nearly all food due to them not knowing he was celiac. The other foods may become ok after a 6 month to year wait, but sometimes you do not overcome those added allergies. It is an unfortunate condition.

oh and I make mine with light soy milk and not water, makes a huge difference.

May have missed it, but can you tolerate casein? Or soy?

ETA: look into rawfusion - http://www.getrippednutrition.com/Raw_Fusion_p/rawfusion.htm it's a plant based blend and is gluten free.

GNC os ON protein, or so the GNC peeps here have told me.

Isn't that bad for you because of lactose? Have you tried whey isolate? Most of those are like 99% lactose free.
