Barb123 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Since I've quit the whey protein so far I've just been using Vega vanilla chai and chocolate powders. Are ther any other proteins that someone could recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I use a blend from trueprotein.com of 70% rice and 30% gemma (pea). But you can change the proportions to whatever blend you like. They also have hemp there. And tons of flavours. I like it because it's cheap. Unfortunately Vega is out of my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Sun Warrior protein, never had it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah, 100% pea is pretty nasty. That's why I like the 30% pea...I don't notice it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphilx Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 i use soy since it's cheap as fuck and i don't believe the hype. from time to time i buy some pea protein to mix it. never experienced a bad taste. the only stuff i wouldn't ever buy again in my life is rice protein, the consistency and the taste sucks donkey boner.

chrisjs Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah TrueProtein is good and cheap. Shipping is a bit much to NJ, but it is heavy. I would recommend springing for the premium flavors if you don't mind the artificial sweeteners. I don't think pea protein has a horrible flavor... it just gets dis-gustingly thick in high amounts. I was using 100% rice for a while but I just placed an order this weekend, going back to 70/30 rice/gemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rice stuff is too grainy, and the pea by it self is good but seems to thicken up in (soy) milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 In addition to Vega, the only other powder I like (so far) is Sun Warrior. It's a rice protein, but I don't find it grainy like others are saying about rice. I don't like soy protein because it makes my stomach angry at me and I can't stand the taste of the one pea protein I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulo Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Nitrofusion is what I have after I workout I like this stuff, I've done quite a few repeat orders of it. For all those who use Vega, do you drink a shake and then not have lunch? Is that how a meal supplement works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopussoir Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Nitrofusion is what I have after I workout I like this stuff, I've done quite a few repeat orders of it. For all those who use Vega, do you drink a shake and then not have lunch? Is that how a meal supplement works? Some people use it as a meal replacement. When I use it I use it just for protein shake. Sun Warrior(vanilla) has to be my all time fav. Taste & Profile is A+ Spirutein is great tasting(cherry jubilee and cookies n cream), but the salt content is too high for me most of the time.

Barb123 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 lobsteriffic, I just checked out your blog and you have some great recipes on there! Thanks for some great ideas....I'm gonna try the TVP meatloaf soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulo Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Probably not the right thread to do this in but,Who on this board DOES NOT take any supplements or protein shakes? I want to pick your brain and get schooled in your ways. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yeah, 100% pea is pretty nasty. That's why I like the 30% pea...I don't notice it in there. I feel the exact opposite. Pea is goo in comparison to regular rice imo. I actually really like sunwarrior though, lacks the grainy texture of all other rice proteins i've tried.

strawberryriddick Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This one is horrible tasting!!!!!Vanilla Sunwarrior FTW and Ive had the berry Nutiva(which is great), but never had choco.I didn't care for the berry Nutiva, but the chocolate one is W-O-W. It's gritty at first, so let it sit for a minute and it tastes like fabulous chocolate milk. The one you think is horrible tasting...I disagree! It's not flavored, certainly, but I like the taste of things like wheat grass juice, kale, spinach, and other earthy flavors, so maybe that's why I don't hate this. It has the same "grit" of the other Nutiva and Sun Warrior, so that doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubby2112 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 OMG, I love you, seitan_man! I have been hoping for a pumpkin seed protein for a long time. Too bad it probably costs a shit-ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
