Does anyone use vegan protein powder? If so, what kind and flavor do you like?

    I do - I use a Pea and Rice protein mix from trueprotein.com. You can build your own custom percentage-based mix and they have a TON of flavors. Can't recommend them enough.

    I use Life's Basics Protein Powder (all flavors), Garden of Life RAW Protein, and Vega Whole Food Optimizer(chocolate!). I alternate to get variety.

    I've heard that the trueprotein.com was good stuff too - would like to try it as well.

    I use Nitrofusion in the chocolate flavour (its more hazelnut) but it tastes great. 130 cal serves and 21g protein. you can order it online and there are a few other flavour options also. The texture isnt gritty and its a pea/artichoke/brown rice multisourced protein (not a soy based protein).

    Another vote for true protein, I also use this exact mx. The vanilla birthday cake flavor is delicious!

    I initially got the peanut butter cup flavor, but shortly after ordering it I noticed the birthday cake flavor and felt the failure of my ways. Definitely ordering that one next time/soon.

    Just checked out the trueprotein. Do you guys add any aminos or fats to it or just do a 50/50 of those proteins? Also, is there a way to tell which ones are vegan on there? I obviously know that milk, egg, and whey ones are not vegan but have no clue about the others....they have a lot of delicious looking flavors!

    I believe only the brown rice, gemma pea and hemp mixes are vegan. I don't add anything to mine - just the basic protein mix and the flavor of my choice.

    I didn't add anything at all besides stevia as a sweetener.

    I use some pea protein that does not have anything added to it, so it tastes rather bland (think cardboard - hehe) but it doesn't bother me.
