I was told I need more protein in my diet, I eat a very healthy vegetarian lifestyle and don't know where to start! Can anyone help me with advice or brands you have tried? I don't want one sugar loaded. Gosh there are so many. Please help. Thank you in advance for any advice. Have a great day.

Definitely look up Andrew Lessman's Whey Isolate, and see if you can watch a video explanation. There's a difference in the form of whey and he explains that whey isolate is best. I like that his is unflavored so it doesn't give a competing flavor with the assorted ingredients in a smoothie.

I have been using NOW Whey Protein Isolate in the natural vanilla for several years now and love it. 0 grams Sugar, 0.5 grams fat, 2 grams carbohydrate per serving. 25 grams protein per serving. It is microfiltered and loaded with bcaas (branched chain amino acids). Isolate is the form of whey that you want as it is taken up by your muscles quickly and it avoids the gastric problems that the concentrate form of whey often creates.

This is a very good product.

I use ""UNJURY"" medical quality. Order it online. A Dr referred me to this one. High in protein and low in carbs and calories and tastes good to.

One thing I did not mention about NOW whey isolate is that they do not use Splenda or Nutrasweet or any type of fake sweetener.

Many protein powders do.

If that is important to you. It is to me. I avoid aspartame and other fake sugars.

KittyLouWhoToo, which one of the now powders do you use? Beckyblu did you ever try the chicken flavored one in unjury? Is it vegetarian? Is it good? Jean are Lessmans things sold on HSN?

Good point. I'm trying to avoid the fake sweeteners, too.

Hi digo,

I use the NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate in the Natural Vanilla.

I love the taste of it mixed with coconut milk and berries, which I have every day. I also add ginger, turmeric, beet root powder and a hot cinnamon. Plus I add a probiotic powder (Klaire Labs Therbiotic).

When summer is in full swing I'll use fresh peaches sometimes. Peaches and Vanilla are one of my favorite flavor combos.

I buy the NOW protein on Amazon almost always. I have also gotten it at LuckyVitamin.com from time to time. I just look for the best price. Amazon usually has it from a few different vitamin/supplement companies.

yes, you can get it on HSN or his own website procaplabs dot com
It's not cheap, but it's good.

I was on a juice fast and although I never used a protein powder there were people who did. Go to the site called just on juice. The creator of the site said that if people had to use a protein powder which one to use because it was straight protein. No flavoring or anything like that. But I can't remember what it was called. I tried to look real quick but I don't have much time. I found itin the comments of many of his different topics. Good luck.
