Hey guys. Having a hard time hitting my protein needs so I thought I'd look in to protein powders. I do NOT have a good reaction to whey powders and whey containing bars...they makes me feel super funky. Any suggestions on what to try? I'd probably mix it into almond milk or even some sort of smoothie if that helped it go down easier. I'm not a huge soy fan (mild allergy when I have too much of it) but I would give it a go if it's good. Thanks all!

    Hi. I use Natural Factors Vegan Protein Vanilla Bean. According to container: 2 scoops is 170 cal, 1.5 g of fat, 22 g protein. I only use one scoop with Almond milk and either frozen strawberries or blueberries. Very good.

    I use Frutein by Natures Way....it is only 13g of protein but it has 115 fruits and veggies, vitamins and minerals, probiotics and digestive enzymes plus its vegetarian. I add it to my smoothie with fruit, almond milk and greek yogurt (and sometimes ground flax seeds), its very tasty too. Each scoop is 110 cal.
