protien shake gluten and soy free

I use a protein shake named Naturade Vegansmart, it is soy and gluten free, but it does have some sugar in it.

I don't have it for weight loss, but for nutrition. I love it for breakfast with some fruit in it and some powdered maxi greens. I usually have it in Almond milk.

Hi Sunnygirl, I am glad you find this helpful. I changed to this formula from the other Naturade protein drink which is Soy based. My Surgeon told me I could still have Soy, but I have cut right back and I don't eat any dairy products.

There are many good protein drinks for dieting, which contain Whey Protein, I have never tried any of them, but I know people who have and they've had very good results.

I am a real devotee of Pro Biotics too and add freeze dried greens, or a Pro Biotic liquid with culture in them. Green Vibrance is one that I especially like.

I use vegan protein -whey, soy, gluten and dairy free, the vanilla chai flavor by Vega, 2g of sugar, and vanilla bean one by PlantFusion.  I make a shake with frozen organic strawberries and blueberries, coconut or almond milk, and a tablespoon of chia seeds.

I havent had much luck finding a good one that is soy free. The vanilla bean one sounds good. Where's the best place to buy Plant Fusion?

Ariom, Thanks for the tip on iherb,  Their prices were better than the store I found that carried it and I don't have to drive anywhere to get it! I ordered the Vanilla Bean. 

hey, here's my review on the vanilla bean flavor. I really think it needs to get mixed with other things besides just water which it says to use in the directions.  It's too thin and chalky like that.   I'm going to try it in a shake with almond milk instead of the water and maybe some frozen berries like SpecialK suggests.  I am thrilled to find something without soy.   It arrived really fast. I like that website !

Happy to have found this as I'm looking for some protein shake advice. I like them for dinner cuz it's fast and easy while I'm working.  I have been drinking Shakeology by Beach Body, mainly because a friend is a coach so I buy it from her. They are tasty, but kind of expensive, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Lee, I don't know if that one, is the same as the Vegansmart that I have, but I always have mine with almond or rice milk a banana, some maxi greens and sometimes a handful of berries, then I blast it all in the Vitamix blender. It comes out very creamy and I top it with ground nutmeg or Cinnamon.

I have also occasionally use a different fruit, like a peach and blend it up with some coconut yogurt. The blender makes everything very creamy.

Hi glennie, It is a fermented powder of Spirulina and lots of other pulses and green veg with pro- biotics. I like this one which is made here, but I also have one I buy from iHerb called Green Vibrance, similar, but a bit different. I have been taking the Maxi Greens for many years because it is supposed to help as an anti inflammatory. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis, so I do what I can to reduce inflammation and get as much Calcium and Magnesium from food source as is possible. I haven't eaten Dairy since I was in my 30's. I was a -3 for Osteoporosis in 2000 and it hasn't decreased any further, in fact it is slightly better. 

I am a big believer in Pro Biotics because after taking all the meds( steroids and chemo drug Methatrexate) for the Rheumatoid for so many years, my stomach was shot and I had ulcers. I have improved so much since taking the Pro Biotics every day.

You're welcome, glennie!

I have a pretty good diet, but I figure there are things I will never eat enough of, so rather than take synthetic supplements, I try to do it with these foods. I do take Vitamin D and a little calcium and I always take Olive Leaf Extract because I get Asthma, if I get a chest infection.

Heavy metals in rice protein products to be strictly limited thanks to history-making agreement

I also avoid rice protein based products due to possible heavy metal or lead contaminants.  My understanding is the rice source from China has many pollutants from contaminated water there.  So I stick with products with ingredients grown in the USA and organic.

I've enjoyed reading the posts in this thread - thanks for the protein shake tips!  I'll be trying it out soon!

Glennie most servings of animal protein are more than 20 grams so I think its fine. My morning vegan shake has about 30 grams, but now I guess I'll have lead poisoning from the post above??? I'll have to read up on that. Always something!

Ok I won't worry about Plant Fusion brand now! 'Cuz the Wichita Observer said so!

SpecialK:  thanks for the article.  I just checked my usual breakfast and there's over 20 g of protein right now, eggs with chicken sausage. All animal protein.  Hoping to balance it out with some veggie protein.
