Anyone have any good recommendations on dairy free protein powders? I am finding I may need to give up dairy.

    I use Genuine Health Vegan Proteins +. I like it much better than Vega protein powder.

    egg is the only protein powder I'd use that wasn't dairy...

    I use a combination of Plant Fusion Chocolate protein powder and hemp protein. I like them both.

    I use Sunwarrior Classic Protein chocolate flavor. It's really good!

    I love the Vega Vanilla Almondilla energizing smoothie protein powder. It's not as high as some of the other ones, but it's positively delicious!

    It can be kind of pricey at Whole Foods and other places, but you can try shopping at www.iherb.com. No sales tax (to CA at least) and the lowest price with free expedited shipping domestically. Pretty awesome. They have lots of protein powders there too, so you could probably find other vegan protein powders.

    I love egg protein! It is very smooth and delicious.

    Just be careful not to get it too hot. It will solidify into a spongy gross awful textured blob thing >__<

    diary as in cow's all all dairy from animals.

    i would suggest goats, pea or egg.
    the paleo view did a awesome podcast on dairy back in october last year that I would suggest listening too, as they talk a lot about whey and casein.

    I use Jay Robb Egg White protein powder - have tried the vanilla and the chocolate, and they're both good.

    I also buy it online from Pharmaca.com - they always have it reduced price and then a sitewide discount as well.

    I just got some Soy Protein powder from GNC. Two bags were only $24! :D They have vanilla, chocolate, and unflavored. It's dairy-free and 25g protein per 1 scoop. Love it! Other dairy-free protein powders were there too but they were expensive.

    I've tried a couple. Currently, I'm using Rice Protein Powder. I like it. Blends smooth and doesn't color what it blends with. I bought it on Amazon.

    Trader Joe's has a chocolate hemp one that tastes like drinking a basket.

    If you're cutting out dairy for vegan purposes, or are flat out allergic, there are pea protein powders available.

    If you're just trying to avoid lactose, many whey protein powders are actually low-lactose or lactose-free. Optimum Nutrition comes to mind.

    I use Organic Brown Rice protein powder. It tastes a bit nasty (like envelope glue), but I can't take any dairy, hemp, legumes or soy, so it's kind of my only option, haha. I recommend it if you have stupid dietary restrictions like I do -- though be sure to mix it with a banana or something like that to improve the flavour! :)
