Question re: Protein Powder

lovesallanimals · ‎03-11-2010

Can someone help me with this - I always make smoothies with fruit, spinach, almond milk, etc. and I wanted to add some protein powder that does not contain any sugar or sugar sustitutes. I checked on Amazon and there are a zillion different kinds. Does anyone know of a good one without the sugar or substitutes?

140-267 at HSN. They are protein capsules by Andrew Lessman. I drink his protein shakes also but I add some of those capsules throughout the day.

@lovesallanimals You'd be best to purchase an organic powder. I've tried many from whole foods and they do carry brands without added sugar. One I have had before is Orgain. (on Amazon) It has pea protein, brown rice protein and chia seeds. Pea protein is one of the best plant proteins to consume. Also I use Andrew Lessman's Ultimate Whey protein isolate shake powder. No sugar or sweetener. There's a lot out there..... Good luck

@lovesallanimals I let my daughter do all of the research & she recommended the Orgain to me.

Another vote for Orgain too. It comes in many flavors--with sugar--or plain-- without. I can't taste it at all and it blends in, without any lumps or grit. I put it in my hot chocolate in the a.m.--my beverage of choice and in smoothies. I also use that brand collegen too. Get from AMZ.

Naked Nutrition.
Minimal and very clean ingredients.
They are also on Amazon.

Another taking Orgain, chocolate, and i only use water and some cinnamon. Shake and you're good to go.

Thanks everybody! I just went to Amazon and ordered the organic unflavored one as it has no sugar. I always add a drop of organic honey to my shakes so this sounds perfect. I use quite a few of Andrew Lessman's products but this sounded more of what I was looking for.

@lovesallanimals Probably a stupid question, but what is the purpose of drinking protien shakes...are they a weight loss shake, a meal replacement?

Adding protein to your diet to build or maintain muscle mass when you don't eat enough protein in your daily intake.
