Any other protein supplements other than whey you recommend? I'm okay with a plant based protein supplement that not Vega and doesn't taste like chalk

    I like vega and find it one of the better tasting ones.

    Have you tried pea protein?

    Maybe if your not keen you can get protein from food sources?

    My friend sells plant protein from an all natural company called Arbonne. Google it to see if you have a local rep. The chocolate is amazing and not chalky at all.

    I use a (bovine) collagen hydrolysate... Unflavoured, mixes in to hot or cold drinks (or meals - I mix it in to yoghurt)

    That sounds interesting. I've never heard of it before.

    I get it from iHerb... Great Lakes brand. They also have a gelatin, which sets, but the collagen doesn't :)

    I also use vega and it gets the job done. Not my favorite flavor in the world but that's more due to the fact that it's a protein powder than due to the product itself. ;)
