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 also break out with whey so have been hunting for options. Next time I go there, or have friends going i'll shop for a lot more as both these brands tasted good and i actually enjoy my morning protein shake.
Truvani! Editing to add: they have a TON of flavors, minimal additives, don’t make me feel like garbage as someone w a sensitive stomach.
