I JUST BOUGHT ORGAIN CHOCOLATE FUDGE, SOO GOOD! EVEN IN JUST WATER!

BUT AM ALSO LOOKING FOR MORE OF MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKES , TO TAKE ON THE GO (IM ALWAYS SNACKING SO I WANNA REPLACE SOME SNACKS WITH MEAL SHAKES)

i ordered Vega one in vanilla and berry,
any other delicious meal shakes that are complete protein, and taste great in just water?

    Sorry. I think most protein shakes have some sort of dairy in them. At least the ones I drink

    I always mix almond milk in my vegan protein power so not sure if they taste good with water! Currently I'm drinking optimum nutrition plant based protein and it's pretty good. I do like Vega vanilla and orgain chocolate.

    Pni supplements plant protein advanced.. You will not find a better tasting vegan protein

    Try the "Aloha" brand in vanilla flavor (found at target), it tastes great with almond milk and has absolutely no protein after taste. Pescience also has really good vegan protein blends on their website if you're looking for something with lower carbs and higher protein.

    The orgain one is def my favorite. For a meal replacement, you could probably use soymilk and maybe make a smoothie?

    Orgain is the best for protein. For meal replacers, I use vega, but it's certainly not amazing testing (some people hate it, I don't but I don't think it's amazing either).

    Why dont you just add in some fruit, nut butter, chia seeds, milk etc to make it a smoothie since you already have a good tasting protein powder, you can easily take that on the go and it will be way more nutritious than any meal replacement shake

    Iron Vegan is the only protein powder I drink. I find all other ones to be chalky and weird.

    I use the Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seed one from Simple, the Organic Vanilla Lacuma one from Epic, and Amazing Grass, which you can buy on sale for 50% off, 2 times a year. I stock up when I see them go on sale! Not sure how they'd be in water, but you can buy organic coconut water powder, now, for a flavor boost! Half of my shake is often flavored coconut water. :smiley:

    Organic Flax milk is a handy milk replacement, for the creamy taste. :)

    Hey! I totally get the struggle -- there are lots of vegan protein powders out there and some of them are GROSS. I actually REALLY hate the Vega powders. Way too sweet for me.

    Minimalist Baker did a great review of different protein powders awhile back. Because of her advice I'm really enjoying Garden of Life.

    I've been looking into this recently too, I usually use myprotein vegan blend in smooth chocolate but I've been trying some meal replacement shakes from purition, their vegan strawberry is beautiful. I'm going to try the new slim fast vitality vegan chocolate mint next week and want to try huel as well!

    Huel is vegan and tastes very good. I got the vanilla v2.3 and I'm super happy with it.

    It's not available retail (as far as I know), but I like LivWell Nutrition's protein, especially the coconut flavor. Barring that, i'll use gold standard's plant based protein sometimes or orgain.

    We started buying LeanFit from Costco. It's pretty good. Reasonable price.

    I like the fact that it's not green tinted like Vega and so many others. I use protein powders in all of my baking so it's nice to not have to disguise the colour with chocolate.

    I've tried them all. Orgain, Vega and OWYN are my favorites. (My personal preference is OWYN, it is the creamiest best tasting I've ever had. I love the strawberry banana and coffee one)

    The best powder I tried is PlantFusion Lean Vanilla. They have samples packs at WF.

    I use Vega sport as the macros are so great- 30g protein! It isn’t the best but it’s good with almond milk I think. Also if you’re willing to deal with shipping, women’s best has a super good one

    I like the Vega and the Orgain. I steer clear of ones that are PLUS GREENS, because they seem gritty and taste a little like grass imho. But it has been a bit since I have tried them.

    Has anyone tried Vivolife? I follow a few vegan YouTubers that are sponsors, and I'm interested, just want to see some reviews from people that aren't sponsored.

    I drink Vega Sport in Chocolate or occasionally Mocha. Both I mix with water. However, I don’t have it every day. Depends on my protein, and sometimes I use it to avoid evening dessert cravings.

    I've had cacao (don't like it) and salted caramel (it's ok). It's not my preferred powder, though, and it takes way too long to ship to the US for me to purchase again. The main thing it has going for it is the calories per g of protein is quite low.
