Anyone here give any recommendations as I seem to be having more and more issues with dairy lately, and adding whey to my usual mix seems to just make matter worse.

I am looking for something I can mix into greek yoghurt preferably, and a decent flavour/taste.

    I use Vega One protein powder (chocolate), its dairy free and pretty tasty. . I think there is 15g/scoop.

    Plant Fusion was referred to me by one of my friends on here who's a body builder. I've used the vanilla so far. Very "fine" powder, like a dust. 21g of protein/scoop. Costs between $17-$29, depending on where you get it from...:laugh:

    I have a LOT of digestive issues, and rice protein has worked out best for me, by far.

    I like Nutribiotic vanilla rice protein. I have heard Vega is great but it's too expensive for me.

    I use a soy protein isolate (from myprotein.com - unflavoured, dirt cheap, love it!)

    I've read that whey isolate protein powders are usually okay for people who are lactose intolerant :)

    I use Ultimate Nutrition - Protein Isolate. Its wheat protein, so no lactose and it has digestive enzymes with it. Never hurts my stomach and tastes great. I use it in shakes as well as cooking.

    Thanks for the responses, I am sensitive to wheat and soya so those are not options for me.
    Rice, however sounds as if it might have promise, as long as it will mix okay in my yoghurt.
    It is a real pain in the backside that I am finding now, being older and after a history of EDs, my stomach seems to have become ridiculously sensitive, as I love the satiating aspect of the whey protein powders and the taste of some.

    I use Nutribiotic Rice Protein as well. It's a little gritty sometimes, but I mostly just deal with it. I often blend it into the milk I use for cereal in the morning.

    Hi there. I really like Nutra Summa Pea Protein Powder. I have only tried the chocolate and I thought that it was really good! I actually just finished a tub. Here is the link:

    I'm using plantfusion currently.

    Minimal chalky texture, pretty strong after-taste of stevia, but overall not too bad.

    It is affordable and has 21g protein per serving, which is fantastic in the world of plant-based powders!

    Made from chia, hemp, rice and peas. I like the unsweetened vanilla flavor.
