The number one question I get asked when clients talk plant-based nutrition with me is what vegan protein powder I use.
Since turning to veganism almost two years ago, I’ve experimented with many plant-based protein powders. I have a very sensitive stomach and was surprised when a lot of vegan powders were still upsetting my stomach, which I definitely did not think would happen.
After many, many protein powders later, and a little research from Dr. Greger, I found a protein powder I’m completely obsessed with and have been using/recommending to everyone: Plant Fusion Complete Plant Protein Powder.
My husband and I found this protein powder after Dr. Greger from nutritionfacts.org explained published research about how rice/rice protein has higher levels of arsenic in it than the FDA recommends for consumption. (Youtube on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPYTbHctMQg) This made us search for plant-based protein powders that do not have rice protein in it; thus finding Plant Fusion!
I’ve used this powder now for almost a year, and it’s what I used during bikini prep. It is really creamy, and doesn’t foam up like other protein powders (I’m thinking the foaming is from rice protein).
I personally love the cookies n creme’, but all flavors are really good, including the “unflavored” in which I threw in during prep as well.
Pros:
-120 calories/21g protein per scoop
-Smoothe
-Creamy
-Flavors don’t taste like dirt
-Affordable on Amazon
-Doesn’t leave a bad after-taste
Cons:
-We go through almost 2.5 containers a month because we like it so much.
If you’re in the market for a new plant-based protein powder, I highly recommend Plant Fusion! If you’d like to use my affiliate link (I get like <$1 for recommending to you), then here are the links to all the flavors:
