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)
Appreciate everyone giving options! I tried KOS years ago and it was so delicious, but then they had that suit with lead and whatnot. I don't know if they've made their formula safer. I did Earth Chimp Strawberry and liked it a lot, just didn't renew. I've tried Vega Sport Vanilla and it was...okay with yogurt and berries, but chalky and wouldn't dissolve enough. Sunwarrior 30g Vanilla (forget the title of it) was similar: too chalky, didn't dissolve well, but was fine. I've heard terrible things about Naked Protein (but that was a friend trying their whey, idk about the vegan stuff). I love Owyn's shakes but their powders have been awful, and that's a real shame because I like their ingredients. (If anyone's tried their 30g tubs, did they have a bad batch or something? Is it any good now???) I really want to try Truvani and Space Milk but the former is soooo expensive for only 20 servings and idk if Space Milk and yeast will work for me since I might be celiac.
This is what I use. I usually add a cup of unsweetened soy milk (extra 8 grams of protein) and 2 cups of berries.
I’m guessing you’ve had Fairlife. I like how they taste; but I could totally see you thinking it tastes like a melted milkshake. Maybe you could try plant based shakes instead? I didn’t love OWYN, but it didn’t taste like a milkshake lol. For protein powder I use vanilla Sunwarrior (also plant based) and it’s great in smoothies.
Sun Warrior Vanilla. I’ve used it forever and love it
Ugh! That makes me sad to hear! Sun Warrior was always my go to for everything. If you remember, let me know what you find out!
Sun warrior vanilla flavor
Truvani and Sunwarrior are my HG protein powders
