I am making my through peanut butter powder and hemp protein. Kind of bored with both and welcome recommendations by brand name. I use the powders in non dairy shakes/smoothies.
Thanks, Rooster
Oh man, protein powders are SO hit or miss. Even the same company one flavor can be great and another just icky.
Honestly i would say your best bet is to use straight up hemp seeds, plain greek yogurt, kefeir, or get peanut flour (same thing as powdered peanut butter basically only a lot cheaper). Otherwise buying individual packets to try first is a good idea, my whole foods has a good selection. These are the few plant based proteins I don’t hate…
I really liked the vegan vanilla from biochem- which actually doesn’t have any weird science lab ingredients or sugar alchohols. It’s super smooth even just blended with almond milk, and made with a blend of pea/hemp/cranberry proteins

I’ve bought amazing grass for years, and they reformulated their protein blend which is great too- but! Do NOT get the “original” which is really rough. It’s not delicious with just almond milk but works well blended into a smoothie. I like that it includes a ton of micronutrients from the greens blend and i can pronounce all the ingredients.

I used to buy garden of life, but it has erythritol which is a sugar alcohol and that bothers my stomach now- if you tolerate sugar alchohols then it’s a good one.

Very helpful, I need to do more reading up as well.
I didnt know where to start and I have never seen peanut flour. What brand is that?
I’ve found the best price for peanut flour from nuts.com- and you’ll notice its waaaaaayyy cheaper than any protein powder yet really similar in nutrition. Ingredients: peanuts. And that’s it.
I know there are a bazillion whey and egg protein powders out there too, but some of them have seriously bizarre ingredients and/or use factory farmed animal products, so if that matters for you just be sure to scrutinize the ingredients
Yes thats why I started this topic. So many powders read bizzare. I dont want to waste time and money on junk powder.
