    Darn, I was hoping more people were going to respond to this. I am looking for a Paleo version to replace whey so I can eat back my calories after my workouts. I keep seeing ones made out of egg whites, but would almost prefer something vegan...but honestly that would probably be made out of peanuts and legumes, ie not Paleo.

    In for finding tasty good sources of protein for future reference. Emphasis on tasty. Low cal would be nice too (as in not much excess junk in the stuff).

    I threw out the Body Fortress I had when I actually checked out the ingredients :/ I keep meaning to try About Time for protein powder. Currently all I use is Shakeology and then just eat food for the rest of my protein.

    I love any of the protein shakes by Vega. They are vegan, healthy and delicious. There are the energizing smoothies, the Vega One shakes that have more to them (probiotics, omegas etc.) and the Vega sport which is a regular high protein shake. All the flavors are delicious but I like to stick with vanilla so it's more versatile for mix ins.

    I've been using Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder in Chocolate. I think they have a few other flavors but I haven't tried them yet. I drink it right after I workout. I swear it tastes like a malty chocolate milk. Keeps me full too and is only 120 calories per scoop (generally only need one). Not a bad way to start the day, imo.

    EDIT- I like to mix it with skim milk as opposed to water for added protein but it's up to the user.

    I drink several different brands.

    Chike Love their orange. Tastes like a creamsicle. I have tried all but their coffee so far.

    Premier Protein Vanilla and chocolate. I tend to prefer the vanilla with this brand.

    Muscle Milk (very rarely but its easy to get at a gas station if I need a quick protein shake.)

    Premium Protein I used to drink now I just add the powder to things I am making to give it an extra protein boost.

    On occasion I drink EAS Carb Control. Picked up a strawberries and cream recently to try. It was alright but hubby said he really liked that flavor so I probably won't drink it and just let him have it. I have plenty on hand to drink.

    I know you didn't ask about protein bars but I love Quest bars and Premier Protein bars. :)

    I'm using this right now:

    Garden-of-Life-RAW-Organic-Protein-Chocolate-658010115940.jpg

    It has vitamins and probiotics and stuff along with the protein. It's not super tasty, though, so I add some PB2 as well.

    I used to use Swanson's Vitamins Grass Fed Whey - That is still my favorite, but I cannot tolerate dairy anymore.

    Now, I use vegan products. I think my favorite is True Vitality Green Foods with DHA. I buy the vanilla. I think it has the best flavor (mild) and I like that it has no stevia. I also like that it has folate (not folic acid) in it. It only has 15g of protein though, so I bought Biochem Vegan to add to it. It is a mixture of pea, hemp, and cranberry protein. That has a much stronger flavor, so I've only been adding a half scoop, which is 15g. I add in some cacao powder for about 3 g of protein because i like the flavor.

    I just saw yesterday that Costco has a shake called "Orgain" which is vegan. I tried it and it was ok. It has stevia in it though, which I am allergic too. I guess it's gonna go back.

    I've been told that Trader Joes' Hemp protein powder is good. I haven't tried it yet.
