Best tasting vegan protein powder

I really like Soylent Bridge. It's got 15 grams of protein so it's not as high as most powders, but for the few grams it lacks in protein it makes up for in taste and for that reason it's a little higher on the calories side at 180 calories per bottle. It's technically a meal replacer, a "bridge" to your next meal -- a snack. I find it keeps me pretty satieted in between meals or after a workout. The other Soylent products are pretty tasty too -- I like their coffee flavored beverage which has 20g protein. I've tried every vegan protein powder there is and have come to the conclusion that, like most powders, they're all going to taste a little chalky so I'd rather enjoy the beverage at slightly less protein than most powders, but still more than I might normally get out of a meal. That's not true for everyone though. For me it's about increasing protein for no other reason than to do just that, not to bulk necessarily. https://soylent.com/

The only other brands I could slightly tolerate are Plant Fusion's Cookies and Cream or Vega products but only if combined with a fruit smoothie.

I think Orgain is pretty good. I can’t stand Vega. However, another option is to buy unflavored protein powder, such as pea or hemp, and mix it with anything you like.

I like the vanilla Orgain. It's not too chalky or clumpy. I'm also a fan of the chocolate VeganSmart, but it is a bit harder to find.

My favorite is Blessed Protein. The Birthday Cake is the best flavor but this flavor is limited addition, so act soon. I HATE how all proteins taste, I just tolerate them bc they’re good for me. The Blessed Birthday Cake is actually really good! I enjoy my smoothies with this. I’ve also tried Blessed Chocolate Coconut (flavor is Okay) and Tone It Up Coconut. Tone It Up is alright but the amount you get for the money isn’t worth it. And it goes very quick because 1 scoop is only 15 g of protein, so I had to use two scoops.

I like Lifetimes' Life's Basics Plant Protein, Unsweetened Vanilla. Based on rice protein, pea protein, hemp seed, and chia seed plus vanilla. The chia seems to give it a bit of sweetness even if made in water and also makes it possible to make some pudding from it... it does thicken quickly. I like to mix it with banana and cinnamon with or without a nondairy milk. Actually dry finely shredded coconut basically turns into coconut milk on the fly. A lot of reviews said it was the blend that made it work better than others in the line. Now there are many vegan protein powders with that same approach, just varying the seeds used. But many of them include the dreaded stevia as a sweetener, which I hate by itself (it's ok if real sugar or fruit juice drowns it out). I would rather get unsweetened and add a sweetener I can tolerate if needed.

If you are ok with soy, Shaklee has more protein powders nowadays to try. They are pricey but well put together. Their flavors have improved quite a bit over the years (at one time, they were my only choice because nondairy and egg-free was so hard to find). I really like their seasonal pumpkin spice and also their café latte flavors. I don't usually drink them but use them in dairy-free yoghurt or pudding. They also have a soy-free plant protein one but I haven't tried it. I think you can get their products online now without going though a distributor but am not sure. I am grandmothered in as a distributor for life (for my $12 one-time fee decades ago.... not so easy now!) but only sell occasionally to me, myself, and I. But the web site has some sort of Member status that looks distributor-free.

I tried the Vega protein powder a few years ago when it was on sale. It was good, but I had to be careful with it because it included chicory root extract. That stuff does not agree with my body beyond a certain threshold...
