Truvani - Plant Based Protein Powder

Chocolate truvani, frozen blueberries, 75% water - 25% unsweetened almond milk.  Or naked pea with a scoop of cacoa.

Have you tried Truvani vanilla? I use it to make cashew butter cookie dough balls and I think it brings a good slightly sweet vanilla flavor to the mix.

I second this with Truvani. I know you’re asking about vanilla specifically but I once made a protein shake with their banana cinnamon flavor that tasted like I was drinking banana bread so I highly recommend it.

I have a very sensitive tummy and acid reflux - the only protein powder my body tolerates is Truvani. They're vegan with super clean ingredient list. It's a little more £££ than others but I stretch out by only using half a scoop at a time and then adding 2 tbsp of collagen peptide (works out well because I find a full scoop is too much sugar) to get to full 20g protein. My fave is vanilla chai.

I have acid reflux and most protein powders seem to give me awful heartburns :/ the only one I can tolerate is Truvani vegan ones which also taste amazing! My fave is chai vanilla one!

the truvani vegan pea protein powder is pretty good, and it has a lot of flavors

I only discovered it in the last year or two. The chocolate tastes like brownie batter

My stomach is sensitive too so i used protien powder with no dairy and the few ingredients as possible I like Truvani and my stomach dont have problems.

**Vegetarian Considerations after Bariatric Surgery** I am not a strict vegetarian but I do eat vegetarian around 3-6 meals a week at 21 months out and still continue to lose a pound or two per month. For me, no meat meals require a good source of protein and also including a good amount of fiber to stay feeling full. To meet a 80 - 100g of protein a day you really need to supplement a meetless diet but you can find vegan sources of powdered protein but I think for the most part they are not good tasting. Here are a few I can say aren’t bad * BE AMAZING:  Vegan Protein Powder (assorted flavors) * form pureblend protein:   (unflavored-neutral tasting) * Truvani:  Cleanest tasting and lower calorie via monk fruit sweetener Here is a list of vegan protein sources I use to build high protein meals Top Protein-Dense Vegan Sources * Tempeh:  34g of protein per cup, fermented for better digestion * Tofu:  24g of protein per cup (firm tofu), offering versatile cooking options * Soy Chunks/TVP:  54g of protein per 100g High-protein meat substitutes * Lentils/Beans:  18g of protein per cup cooked * Split Peas:  19g of protein per 100g (Dried) * Edamame/Soy nuts:  18g of protein per cup, ideal for snacks * Hemp Seeds:  31.5g of protein per 100g, a complete protein * Pumpkin Seeds:  24.4g of protein per 100g * Nutritional Yeast:  43g of protein per 100g or 5g of protein per 2-tablespoons * Seitan (Wheat Meat):  24g of protein per 100g * Peanut Butter:  3g of protein per tablespoon * Cashews: 17.7g of protein per 16.6g   * Green Peas:  5.4g of protein per 100g (cooked) * Chia seeds:  2g of protein per 100g * Chick Peas:  7.2g of protein per 100g (canned) * Quinoa:  4.4g of protein per 100g * Brown Rice:  3.6g of protein per 100g * Buckwheat:  3.4g of protein per 100g (cooked) * Oats:  2g of protein per 100g (boiled)  Source:  Good Food +4 Key Tips for Plant-Based Protein * Complete Proteins: Soy (tofu, tempeh), quinoa, and hemp seeds are "complete," containing all nine essential amino acids. * Boost Intake: Add hemp, chia, or flax seeds to salads and smoothies. * Convenience: Use lentil or chickpea pasta to easily double your protein intake. * Variety: Rotate legumes and nuts to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients and fiber. Supplements After bariatric surgery, daily lifelong supplementation is required to prevent deficiencies, typically including a high potency bariatric multivitamin,1200 - 1500mg of Calcium Citrate, 500 - 1000 mcg of vitamin B12, D3 and K. Essential vitamins include 50-100mg of thiamin (B1), 400-800mcg of folate, and 15 mg of iron (unless you are post menopausal) Key Daily Supplement Requirements: Bariatric Multivitamin: Must contain 100% daily value of essential nutrients including Vitamins A, C, E, K, Zinc, and Copper Calcium Citrate: 1,200–1,500 mg daily (divided into 500–600 mg doses). The citrate form is preferred over calcium carbonate for better absorption Vitamin B12: 500 - 1000mcg daily (sublingual or tablet) Iron: 45-60 mg daily do not take if post menopausal (often included in bariatric multi or taken separately) Vitamin D3: 3,000 IU daily (total from all supplements) Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): At least 12mg, preferably 50-100mg/day to prevent neurological issues Critical Guidelines: Timing: Do not take calcium with iron or your multivitamin; separate them by at least 2 hours. Format: Chewable or liquid formulas are required in the first few months, often transitioning to pills later Blood Work: Lifelong, regular blood tests (every 3-6 months) are necessary to monitor levels The reasons gummies and most children’s chewable vitamins are not part of any bariatric program is that they can not verify the actual levels of vitamins they contain as they are produced in a liquid and different compounds all solidify at different rates so the amount of specific vitamins are based on testing a giant vat of the stuff and then ESTIMATING the amount that may be in your single gummies/chewable. The other issue is the number of carbohydrates in gummies and children’s chewable vitamins as they are calorically very high relative to the amount of nutrients. Look at most gummies, to get the recommended amount of B12, based on the Expected amount found in the gummies of 9mcg to meet what most doctors want you to take every day, is between 500 - 1000mcg So are you going to eat 50 gummies with 2 grams of sugar in each? My limit for carbohydrates in an entire day is 75 - 100 grams So gummies are not a good option. Bottom line is that normal vitamins, even in pill form, cannot provide the recommended amounts your body requires because you had bariatric surgery and you now at risk of having malabsorption issues. The Bariatric vitamin brands recommended by my program are: Celebrate Bariateic Advantage Bariatric Fusion Bariatric Choice Opurity I have found being deficient in a specific nutrients will lead to cravings for carbs, lack of energy and possibly a stall. Get the correct post surgical vitamins is essential to success . Other Supplement to consider Taking Omega-3 fatty acids are hard to come by not eating animal proteins so it is recommended to take a supplement containing around  2,000mg of omega-3 ( from fish oil/EPA+DHA) per day. A balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 2:1 is recommended although most supplements have a much higher ratio. Prioritize high-quality fish oil supplements to support weight loss. BEST VEGAN: OmegaBlue Professional omega-3 contain 1300mg per serving so you should double the dose. OVERAL BEST:  Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 2X contain 1,125 mg of EPA and 875 mg of DHA from wild-caught anchovies and sardines. It contains a total of 2,150 mg of omega-3s in a two-capsule serving so I take 3 a day. If you are not adverse to getting omegas from fish, this is a cheaper alternative to the vegan one which derives its omegas from algae. There are cheaper supplements but they are not as transparent about sourcing and quality.  Adding Nutritional Yeast  into meals  is a vegan’s best friend in the kitchen. Flakes are good as a topping on things like popcorn and powders are preferable in sauces as they seem to melt better into things. My everyday go to is the Bragg’s brand but there are many varieties that impart different nutty, cheese or savory flavors that might be more preferable in a particular dish. They can be fortified, with most of them have a more ‘tangy’ flavor profile. I think nutritional yeast is an important add to food as they are a food based source of vitamins and minerals often missing in plant based diets. Many varieties are fortified with vitamin B12 which is typically found in animal products so it’s a great way to boost your intake. Use nutritional yeast in a dairy-free mac ‘n’ cheese, in a vegan parmesan or sprinkled over salad, vegetables, soup or pasta. A 2-tablespoon serving provides about 5 grams of protein, making it an excellent savory, plant-based protein booster Collagen:  20-40g of hydrolyzed peptides per day   BEST VEGAN OPTION:  Plantcusion or Sunwarrior Plant-based collagen supplements are just collagen builders often referred to as collagen precursor that provide essential amino acids, silica, and vitamin C to help your body naturally produce its own collagen. Again not eating animal products, it is really hard to get this amount in your diet. This amount supports skin elasticity and joint health while aiding in managing weight loss and maintaining lean muscle. OVERALL BEST:  Vital Protein Collagen Peptides contains 10g so again I double this up

Came here to say Truvani. I would get their sampler pack because they have tons of amazing flavors!

I've tried a shit ton of plant based protein powders and the texture is pretty much always an issue due to being made of pea and nut proteins. Truvani, Vega and KOS aren't the wooooorst. You might need to blend with ice for the best texture possibility.

Heard, I think blending is your best bet for texture. For truvani flavors, I've tried vanilla and the chocolate strawberry and they were both really good
