Vegan ...or dairy/gluten free protein powders...

I like this one, I guess it's considered a " smoothie" but anyways, I have tried the Berry and the vanilla one but I only like this chocolate one I find the other ones to be too chalky. I just put it in a shaker bottle with some kind of nut milk.

Orgain organic protein plant based powder

I don't know if it's gluten free but satisfast makes a vegan powder. It's kind of thick/chunky but the taste is pretty good and I don't mind the texture

Sun Warrior Warrior Blend. I have the mocha and vanilla and am happy with both. I do recommend a blender and a good amount of liquid.

Spiru -tein by Nature Plus have really good vegan options.
I acutally use Kashi's brand it is the cleanest vegan protein that I have found so far, but it has no sugar at all added. I just mix it with fruit, or coco powder and pepermint extract. I drink Spir-tein when I am not concerned with sugar.

I am fully aware that I'm asking for cremated unicorns by trying to find a vegan or dairy free protein powder that doesn't taste like total crap..
I've tried MGM, vega sport... is there really nothin else?

I'm pretty sure cremated unicorns are not vegan. I use the Vega all in one, natural flavor. It's a little gritty, but taste is fine. Although I blend it with spinach, fruit, and flaxseed. So that could mask taste.

I love Vega but it's pretty expensive. Naturade Vegan Smart is a good back up though! You can get a massive bag at Sam's club for a decent price. The vanilla tastes like a birthday cake batter. I add some pb powder to spruce it up though!

I've tried at least a dozen vegan protein powders, and I hated nearly every one. I couldn't stomach Vega, Plant Fusion, Sunwarrior, MGM, Orgain, Six Star soy, Garden of life, Naturade, or Now foods protein. I found Naturliga vanilla Pea Protein and Genisoy chocolate or vanilla soy protein palatable, but not particularly appealing.

The only protein I found that I actually enjoy is Arbonne chocolate protein shake mix, which kinda sucks because it's super expensive and not pure protein (though 20g per 160 calories fits well for me). I would recommend trying everything else first, but if you don't like any of them, and you are willing to pay over 2$ a serving for a protein shake, it's worth a shot. I blend it with PB2, unsweetened cashew milk and ice, and I find it really tasty and thick, with no gritty texture or weird aftertaste. The vanilla isn't great on its own, but with PB2 and strawberries it's pretty good.

I get mine through my mom's rep (yup, it's MLM ) but I made it very clear I have zero interest in buying anything else and if she sends me spam I will stop buying the shakes from her. If you want to avoid that route altogether, it's usually available on Amazon through various reps, though price and shipping times vary a lot.

*and in case the part about it being overpriced and only recommended as a last resort for super-picky people with money to burn didn't make it clear, I do NOT sell Arbonne.

I have the chocolate and blended it in the blender with the recommended amount of liquid (Skim Plus). I had to throw it out after the first swallow, as I was gagging and about to throw up (sorry!).

Any suggestions on how to make this more palatable? I do need the protein. Also, even though I used the blender, it seemed grainy.

Banana and nut milk? A teaspoon in oatmeal and work my way up? Please suggest away...

I believe garden of life Raw is vegan and gluten free.
