Full disclosure, I didn’t read thru the comments. Lactose intolerant / insulin resistant and trying to avoid all the added sugars / sweetens while still enjoying something. I like Naked Vegan Protein, specifically the Chocolate Coconut Almond. IMO it’s good with cold water and for a treat I use cold almond milk. Yeah you’d have to prep it night before or that morning [https://nakednutrition.com/products/coconut-almond-protein-powder](https://nakednutrition.com/products/coconut-almond-protein-powder) Edit: I also take meds and go back to sleep.

Yup, it's the simplest I could find! I'm lactose intolerant and also sensitive to stevia, so I've spent lots of time looking for options I could use. Vega and Naked Shake are the only 2 I've found that work for me, but I find the Nake Shake to be really, really sweet [https://nakednutrition.com/products/vegan-protein-shake](https://nakednutrition.com/products/vegan-protein-shake) .I do also like Naked brand peanut butter powder, which has roasted peanuts as its only ingredient. Not as high in protein, but it tastes great, and can be mixed into lots of things for a protein boost. [https://nakednutrition.com/products/powdered-peanut-butter](https://nakednutrition.com/products/powdered-peanut-butter) . I order both of those in giant tubs from Amazon, and they are often discounted on Prime Day/Black Friday.
Are you talking about Ora? I have had success with naked nutrition cookies and cream, flav city chocolate PB. The cookies and cream was discontinued apparently but I have vanilla in my freezer which I’ll be trying tonight. So far satisfied with baked nutrition- my 5 year old has stolen mine and doesn’t know any different. The ora, she would not eat 😂
I use the Naked Shake protein (either pea or almond). I do blend it, but used to use the shaker and as long as I gave it a solid 20 seconds it was always fine for me.
Naked is pretty good, I’ve been using their unflavored in smoothies. I got their chocolate thought and am not as big of a fan.
Agree. The naked chocolate protein is the first protein shake I’ve been able to drink without gastric issues from the fake junk.
