Protein powder suggestions

So I just ran out of my protein powder. I had been using the Nutribiotic 80% vegan vanilla rice protein powder which contains 60 calories per 1 heaping tbsp., 0g of fat, and 12g of protein. The stuff is just so expensive I'm afraid to get something new and hate it. I'm obviously not using it as a meal replacement and am not looking for a meal replacement shake, just something to add to my smoothie to keep me fuller longer. Suggestions are helpful! (I love adding spinach to my smoothies so no chocolate or different flavored powders please, just vanilla or no flavor).

Just throwing it out there, I just stumbled upon PB2 (peanut butter powder). I add it to my smoothies and it totally masks the spinach or kale flavor. It only has 1.5 grams of fat and 45 calories for 2 tbsp.! If you haven't heard of it try it! It's now my new staple in every smoothie (or stir fry)!

    I also use the Body Fortress from Walmart. Even get it at a discount grocer we have here in Nor Cal for $15. I buy the chocolate and mix in a tsp of the PB2 for a yummy Reese's cup tasting protein shake.

    If you have a powerful blender, adding a couple tablespoons of hemp seeds (you can buy in bulk on Amazon.com, iherb.com, or most Whole foods/trader joes/wegmans locations) will add a lot of protein & healthy fats =)

    The PB2 I like I can only find on Amazon. The name Is PB2, my sister found some at BJ's (can't remember the name of it) but it had a higher fat content. The one I use has 1.5g of fat, she found one with 4.5g, not that big of a difference.
