I like the Ora brand, chocolate and vanilla
For plant based powders: my absolute favorite is Orgain Simple, second place would be Ora Organic. I like the chocolate and vanilla flavors from both brands. Truvani was ok but I really only liked the banana cinnamon, the rest of the sample flavors I tried didn’t taste good enough to purchase again. In my experience so far, plant based powders can be super gritty unless blended so I always make my shakes in a blender with a few frozen banana slices.
I appreciate it! I have seen that article and am cautious since I had lead poisoning as a child. 😅 I have to do plant based because of digestive issues with dairy (even lactose free products) but I’m not having more than 2 shakes per week. I try to get my protein through meals as much as possible. 🙂
Ora Organic works well. No fillers, gums or artificial flavors, allergen-free (soy, dairy, gluten). I have had a hard time finding something that doesn’t upset my stomach!
I've really struggled to find a clean dairy free protein powder without a bunch of junk added. So, I just created my own list of clean dairy-free protein powders and ranked them good-better-best based on how clean (like non-toxic, healthy) they are. All plant-based ones are organic and all beef-based ones are grass-fed. None of them have dairy, soy, gluten and have minimal ingredients. Also added the protein amount per serving. I'm not going to drop my site link with the list to avoid breaking sub rules, but here's the list I came up with...hope this helps someone! **Good** * Ancient Nutrition Protein Powder (20g of grass-fed protein) * Paleo Pro Beef Protein Powder (26g of grass-fed beef protein) * Orgain Vegan Protein Powder (21g of plant-based protein) * **\*\*EDIT/ADDITION\*\*** TumLove Vegan Protein Powder (20g of plant-based protein) **Better** (Cleaner) * Sunwarrior Organic Plant Based Protein Powder (39g of plant-based protein) * Equip Foods Prime Protein Powder (20g of grass-fed beef protein) * Ora Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder (23g of plant-based protein) * Paleovalley Beef Bone Broth Protein Powder (15g of grass-fed beef protein) * EarthChimp Organic Vegan Protein Powder (20g of plant-based protein) * Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Protein Powder (20g of grass-fed beef protein) * Four Sigmatic Organic Vegan Protein Powder (18g of plant-based protein) * **\*\*EDIT/ADDITION\*\*** BIRDMAN Falcon Organic Vegan Protein Powder (24g of plant-based protein) **Best** (Cleanest) * Just Ingredients Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder (21g of grass-fed beef protein) * Perfect Supplements Plant Protein (17g of plant-based protein) * Be Well Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powder (23g of grass-fed beef protein) * Peak Performance Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powder (20g of grass-fed beef protein) * Sprout Living Plant Based Protein & Superfoods Powder (26g of plant-based protein) * Anthony’s Organic Hemp Seed Protein Powder (15g of plant-based protein) * Left Coast Performance Organic Bone Broth Protein Powder (20g of grass-fed beef protein) * NorCal Organic - Premium Pea Protein (22g of plant-based protein)
These don't have stevia: Paleo Pro (monk fruit), Ora (monk fruit), PaleoValley (monk fruit), EarthChimp (sweetened with fruits), Ancestral Supplements (monk fruit), Four Sigmatic (palm sugar), Just Ingredients (monk fruit), Perfect Supplements (no sweetener), Be Well (monk fruit), Anthony's (no sweetener), NorCal (no sweetener). Looks like if they're not using stevia, then it's monk fruit. If they're unflavored they usually don't have any sweetener.
Hi, I use this protein powder! Have you found an alternative yet? I find that I have to mix cocoa powder or peanut butter and add sweeteners to mask the taste. I like everything else about the product tho!
Yes, Ora! It’s ok but I don’t love it. I have heard good things about naked. Do you do the pea protein?
Ora Organic chocolate is truly the only one I’ve ever liked as a protein shake. It is the most superior I’ve ever tried in taste and texture. They also have a testing tab on their website to show third party test results if you’re concerned about heavy metals and such.
I use Ora Organics protein powder - it’s 23g of protein sourced from veggies (pea protein, rice protein, etc) instead of animal products, it tastes really nice and isnt weird and chalky like a lot of protein powders, and its third party tested to make sure there are no heavy metal contaminants or anything (which I never paid attention to before but now that I’m breastfeeding I try to check for that on any supplement I take!)
It’s not on the list but I use Ora organic protein. It’s the best protein I found quality ingredients very clean.
