What is your favorite plant based protein powder?

I’ve been using Orgain organic protein & superfoods (vanilla bean) for a long time but you have to use 2 scoops (51 grams) to get 21 grams of protein (and 160 calories). Sometimes I don’t want 2 scoops in whatever I’m cooking so I just picked up PlantFusion complete protein (vanilla bean) because it’s the same 21 grams of protein but only 1 scoop (30 grams) and 120 calories.

Do any of you have one you really like? Would prefer to stay plant based.

    I like the taste of orgain peanutbutter if we're only counting widely available brands. I also like livwell nutrition's coconut flavor, but it's not widely available and is pretty expensive

    I saw that one and considered it. I like the high protein in that one but the calories were also higher so theoretically, I could get the same protein per calories with PlantFusion if I just added half a scoop.

    I had that orgain peanut butter one once and it was awesome. I think I found it at Tj Maxx and never saw it again.

    Chick peas or green lentils for me serves better than any protein powder

    I like Vega 1 for plant based - main ingredient is pea protein. I also like Tera’s pumpkin protein.

    I love Garden of Life Raw Organic Unflavored and Unsweetened. 110 calories, 22 grams protein. Completely unnoticeable in a smoothie.

    I tried the PlantFusion this morning, it was pretty chalky. But it might have just been the recipe or poor blending on my part. I’m keeping an open mind.

    @bold_rabbit I might try that one, I like garden of life products and I like those calorie/protein numbers.

    This is a good one - selecting an organic one is important - nonorganic ones are often high in heavy metals. This particular one also doesn't have 'natural' flavors either.

    Vega is not organic and contains 'natural' flavors.

    Another 'good' one is Truvani - organic - free of heavy metals/contains no heavy metals/no natural/artificial flavors/no stevia. A little pricey though

    I use Pulsin pea protein but I only ever use about 10g in smoothies occasionally for a little boost.

    I wanted to like plant based PP, but couldn't, and since I am just vegan-sympathetic, not actually vegan, I went back to whey. But Olympian Labs Chocolate wasn't bad.
