bumping this 'cause I'm wanting a Vegan protein shake too. I have to admit I'm using a non-vegan on atm. I bought a load on an offer & am using them up, once they're gone that it.

Anything by Vega is vegan. I think the other name is Sequel. They're all formulated by Brendan Brazier who is a vegan Iron Man athlete. He created The Thrive Diet which is a great book that has loads of recipes all vega, primarily raw.

I like the unflavored (natural) Sunwarrior protein powder. I use it for meal-time smoothies when I'm hungry and in a huge hurry (I'm not a hardcore athlete or anything).

It's terrific with some frozen banana, berries and a splash of almond milk.

I guess it's a little chalky, depending on how it's prepared. It works well at staying in suspension, even when it's only blended with almond milk, and the nutritional profile is very good for the price.

I'm a huge Vega fan! They are based out of my hometown - so many people in the fitness industry around here use their products. I use the Performance Protein and the Whole Food Health Optimizer. They taste great, too!

I know this technically says "protein powder" but if you want a protein shake..I usually put tofu, soy/almond/coconut milk, and frozen fruit + bananas in a blender. Very easy. Very yum. Makes me full til lunch! If you like tropical; bananas, frozen pineapple, frozen mango, and some coconut oil is very good.

I think this sounds really good!

I typically use a mix of Olympic Labs pea protein and Nutrobiotic's brown rice powder. The rice powder is a lot more gritty and chalky. I like the pea protein alone better but from what I've read, the mixture of the two results in a mixture of amino acids that is better utilized by the body. Also, I believe pea protein is associated with kidney stones if you use too much of it.

I don't drink either straight with water. I either put them in smoothies, or mix with peanut butter and almond milk to form a paste that I roll into balls. Sometimes I add in chia seeds as well.

I tried Vega's Whole Food Health Optimizer in chocolate. I got one sip down and gagged. My husband smelled it and refused to even try it (he normally drinks whey protein). I gave it a second go later, and still couldn't get it down.

I use Garden of Life RAW protein powder. It's GF and soy free too. Since I eat a lot of soy, I wanted my protein powder to be soy free.

It's totally unsweetened and gross if you just take it with water. But I mix it with things and it's fine. Whole Foods has an instore oupon (in their coupon book) for $5 off that doesn't expire until January 31.

I use Tru-Food Vegan powder. I have the natural flavor in 2.2 lbs. I bought 2 from supersupplements.com for $43.98 (total).

Vega Whole Food Optimizer rocks my world!

I make smoothies with Hemp protein. It's natural, just powdered hemp seeds. I like that it is not overly processed like soy and I find it less expensive than some other protein powders.

I buy Bob's Red Mill Hemp Powder and $8.96 for 1 lb bag on Amazon.

When it comes to texture, people say soy and rice are chalky, hemp is gritty, and pea protein is smoothest.

try hemp powder.
