I use spirutein - I love it, but I don't know how good it is since it's so delicious. I also have some hemp powder but I haven't brought myself to use it yet - I had a bad experience with hemp powder in the past. I also have Jarrow Formulas Brown Rice Vanilla powder, I like it but the taste isn't as delicious as spirutein.

I've been wondering how good the hemp protein they sell at Trader Joe's is. I currently use "vanilla" sunwarrior protein. It's rice protein I think? It tastes crappy but I use it anyway. Anyone know if the Trader Joe's hemp protein tastes any better?

I use Vitamin Code's raw protein powder and Protein Plus Flour (made from the protein in peanuts -- so yummy) which I have to order online. Although I do like using protein powders in smoothies and such, I prefer the bulk of my protein to come from whole-food sources such as sprouted beans which contain up to 35% protein, nutritional yeast (tastes cheesy), and sprouted nuts and grains! 8)

I use Nitro Fusion, theres a fairly limited range available in Australia so this one is worth a look.

Its a multi sourced protein (pea, artichoke and brown rice based proteins) - wheat and soy free.

It comes in a variety of flavours, the texture is fine and its not particually bitter so i dont add any sugar/sweetner.

136 cal a serve and 25g of protein. i liked it because its multisourced and i get alot of soy protein in my diet so i think the variety in protein sources is positive.

Sidenote: The price was way better than other brands and cal/protein ratio is on par as well (if not better).

I use Lifetime Life's Basic Plant Protein vanilla flavor. It is made up of hemp,pea,rice,and chia. 22 grams of protein and only 5 grams of carbs in one serving. I usually mix it with 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, some ice, and a little agave nectar...very good.

yum lifetime basics vanilla is the kind i use too, they had it on sale at sunflower market when i picked it up, i use rice milk with it and any frozen fruit i have on hand with ground-up ( uncooked) oatmeal and flaxseed peanut butter:)

My apologies fit by thirty for not replying sooner. My sensitives to night shades are due to the fact that I was diagnosed with an auto autoimmune disease a few years ago. I did not notice the side effects until I became vegan 4 months ago. I get extremely tired ,stiff in my joints and sometimes experience mild headaches if I eat an excessive amount. Ex two drinking cups of moes salsa.This is due to the fact that all nightshade fruits and vegetables are inflammatory.

I have tried 5 different vegan protein powder brands so far. I like trying new ones, especially when I can just get samples. I think the biggest problem with most vegan protein powders is that you never know exactly how well they are going to mix with water or non-dairy milk. It's either still a little chunky, leaves a chalk-like texture in your mouth, or you'll get lucky and it mixes more smoothly and can taste like a perfect smoothie or even thicker like a pudding.


So far, my two favorites have been Genuine Health Vegan Proteins+ (Vanilla and Double Chocolate), which is a mix of different protein sources, and Growing Naturals Protein Isolate (supposedly the only rice protein isolate out there, which tends to give you more protein for less calories than other brands). Genuine Health is one that tastes super good, but mixes differently than others. It tends to still be a little chunky when I mix it will almond or soy milk, but the vanilla flavor tastes like cake batter, so it kind of makes up for it. The Growing Naturals mixes the best of any protein I've tried, and the flavor is not too sweet, which I like.

The other brand I like is Sunwarrior, but it is a bit more expensive than others. The only thing I don't like is that it tends to mix a little weird and leaves sort-of a chalky texture in your mouth, unless you get a good milk to powder ratio. I like both the vanilla and chocolate, but their Warrior Blend is absolutely disgusting.

I just recently tried the vanilla flavor of PlantFusion, and boy, it made me want to throw up. Horrible taste, and it mixed a little too thick for my liking.

I also tried two different Vega flavors (I believe a chocolate and berry). I find it doesn't mix well and tastes like crap. And far too expensive for the amount of protein. I felt sick to my stomach immediately after trying it. This has been my least favorite.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000. It put in a wheelchair a few months ago. I have literally eaten my way out of the wheelchair and back into the weightroom as you can see.
