(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best sports nutrition plant protein powders

> Peanut butter is actually one of the worst culprits for Omega 6 fatty acids.

Whoops! There's stuff like like this which has greatly reduced fat: https://smile.amazon.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-6-5/dp/B002GJ9JWS

A serving has 1.5g fat compared to about 16g for actual peanut butter. It only has 5g protein compared to 8g for regular peanut butter, though, so if you ate the equivalent amount it would probably be around 2.6g fat.

> But it looks like Macadamia nuts are nearly free of Omega 6, and they are lower in fiber than the other nuts.

Just keep 'em away from your dog, if you have one. They're pretty toxic to dogs. They're pretty high in fat, so you probably couldn't get a lot of protein from them without exceeding your caloric requirements but variety is always nice.

These are the kind I've had in the past: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBIL8SU

I'd recommend them, but they are pretty expensive. They were the best deal for reasonably rated hemp hearts at the time I investigated. 10g protein to 1g fibre. They taste similar to wheat germ, just with a bit of a nuttier/sharper taste.

> I also saw seaweed can be great if you can actually eat enough of the stuff.

I'm not really a fan, but if you enjoy it!

> What do you use in substitution for eggs? Most substitutes I see are high fiber and I'd prefer not to use those.

For baking? I usually don't use anything, but I don't bake a lot of stuff like cakes. Apple sauce and mashed banana are two substitutes that come to mind which are frequently used in baking. You might be able to use silken tofu or arrowroot powder (mostly starch, I don't think it would have much fiber.)

There are also dedicated egg replacers, like this stuff: http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html
It doesn't seem to have any significant fiber. I don't think I've ever tried it myself.

By the way, if you crave the eggy taste for non-baking stuff there's a salt called kala namak which has a very sulfery-eggy taste. I like to toss some cubed tofu with a bit of cornstarch, kala namak, and black pepper then fry it in a hot pan with some olive oil. Tastes a lot like fried eggs and the texture is pretty much like egg whites.

This is what I have: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O1VDXM/

Not sure if it's still the best deal, but a little goes a long way. I bought the 1lb package back in 2012 and still have a decent amount left.

By the way, the Amazon links aren't affiliate links or anything like that. Just a possible place to acquire it if you're interested. I'd certainly recommend doing a little independent research before buying.

So imagine your GI tract as 3 buckets with funnels at the bottom of each one:

1. Stomach
   
2. Small intestine
   
3. Large intestine
   
   Their jobs are:
   
   
4. Stomach = blends up the food into mush & sends it to the small intestine
   
5. Small intestine = takes the mush & pulls out protein, carbs, and fat to feed your body & sends the waste to your large intestine
   
6. Large intestine = waste system that comes out as stools
   
   Macros works because that's simply how physics works...if you want to grow in the best & most efficienct way possible, then you need to feed your body the required macronutrients. If you don't, you will get slower & sub-par results. There's no magic in it; it's just science. If you limit yourself to 100 grams of protein per day, then you are under-feeding your body for muscle growth. You're obviously free to do whatever you want, but we have all of the science & results to support the data - all that's left for you to do is figure out a game plan for feeding yourself your numbers every day!
   
   3,000 calories may sound like a lot, but if you're exercising daily & getting enough sleep every night, you'll have quite an appetite! Plus, you can split it up into say 6 smaller meals & snacks, scattered throughout the day, so you could do like 500 calories per meal with 30 grams of protein per meal. Keep in ind that 30 grams of protein is like, a single protein shake. Vega's chocolate vegan protein powder is 30 grams per scoop, so you'd only need a single scoop to hit your protein number for say a mid-morning protein shake snack:
   
   

• https://www.amazon.com/Vega-Protein-Powder-Chocolate-Servings/dp/B01LXZS18X
  
  Blend that up with some fruit to boost the carb count & some avocado or nut butters to boost the fat count & you've got yourself an easy meal that hits your personal macros. For a mid-afternoon snack, grab a couple off-the-shelf protein bars at 15g each for a total of 30g of protein:
  
  
• https://www.amazon.com/SimplyProtein-Peanut-Butter-Chocolate-Gluten/dp/B002EY8BAG
  
  So not as bad as you think, right? It's not like you have to sit there & eat 3,000 calories in one sitting or anything, you can split it up! If you're getting enough sleep, exercising daily or against a workout plan or at least consistently, and eating according to your macros (based on the actual, realistic amount of exercise you put into the calculator), then it will become pretty easy to go through that many calories within just a few weeks of adjusting your stomach & body to that kind of caloric intake level.
  
  As this is a raw vegan subreddit, you could also find natural sources of plant-based proteins, carbs, and fats that don't require any cooking. It all depends on what your goals are: do you want to take advantage of known science to meet your goals in the best way possible, and if so, what's your plan for achieving those daily macros? Vegan, raw vegan, omnivore? Packaged foods, homemade foods, or a combination? There are lots of options available; the key is to nail down a specific path that works for you & then get started on it. That's why Arnold got so famous...so few people actually make a simple plan & follow through on it that it's totally amazing when somebody actually does that, haha!

My new favourite thing to make, meal-wise, for a bunch of people is a red thai curry. The first few times, I followed this basic recipe, and since then I've kept the base but mixed it up; adding rough-cut baby corn, sweet and baby potatoes, asparagus, different mushrooms, maybe go for a cous-cous or a wholegrain rice, quinoa side - the more you add the more it costs, obviously - but so many things work, and it's one-pot too, so it's hard to ever go wrong. I can't recommend it enough; everyone of about the 15 people or so I've made it for has loved it.

For myself at the moment, I'm loving all things lentil and chickpea based, particularly falafel and humus. In the big supermarkets here they have a whole range of new 'free-from' alt-rock sausages or burgers that I've been working my way through too, because they're cheap and wrapped with cardboard, and I've been trying to cut down on single-use plastics, which is futile at best but another story altogether.

Snack-wise, I eat more nuts and seeds, which I love because I enjoy crunching and chewing my food, I also go for popcorn and nachos with home-made guac and vegan cheese (I'm eating this right now).

In my post-exercise smoothie, I aim for a mixture of 'good fats', fibre and protein. Usually I put a banana and half an avocado in first, for the creaminess, then a hemp protein powder (I've tried a few, this is the one I settled on as it is fine enough that it doesn't feel like drinking grit, which is an experience others have produced). A spoonful of milled linseed on top again, and if I'm feeling extra saucy I'll break out the almond butter and drop a spoon of that in. I might put oats or coconut shavings in it too, although that tends to tip the 'bitiness' scale to far into soup territory, it depends how thick you want it. That would be my base, then I'll pour in the almond or coconut or oat milk, and top it off with frozen blueberry's, mixed berries, or some spinach, kiwi, mango and kale mix (again, the supermarkets here at least have these big frozen bags). Maple Syrup maybe. I'm really not precise with these things though; some taste better than others, people who are more into food might say 'you should never mix x with y!', but I tend to just fire a load of things in that I like, that give me a good blend of what my body needs, and hope the consequence is delicious too - and it usually is. And either way, I feel the benefit, so it's all good.

I realise this is super long, I wasn't sure which sort of recipe you were referring to so I thought I'd offer an answer to each possible scenario, and I have work to do so of course I'm only too happy to spend an hour in a soccer thread typing about my eating habits!

No problem :)
Ah yes the stomach fat.... the hardest to get rid off no joke. Sugar is the main culprit to be honest and if you're serious about getting rid off the belly fat you'll need to say bye bye to the white stuff. Having said that a bit of maple syrup or a few dates if you're craving sweets are fine.
The other reason for feeling bloated may be in wheat. If you eat bread and pasta try swapping for wholegrain versions like rye bread, brown rice and swap pasta for vegetable alternative like courgetti.
Try include foods that are high in soluble Fiber - flaxseeds, brussel sprouts, blackberries, legumes and... avocados - the avocado would work in your salad today too. Try to avoid foods with trans fats like margarine.
Your salad sounds lovely. I'd add some avocado and a dressing made of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper on top and voila! delish. Hummus is also a great option just be carefull as the store bought options have really high fat and salt content. Tahini is a great thing too as is miso paste if you can get ahold of it.

The protein powder looks quite good except that it has cane sugar in it which can contribute to you feeling bloated. Ideally you'd want a powder that doesn't. But don't stress yourself about the one you have too much - finish it and then get one that doesn't. I personally love Sunwarrior as it tastes delicious and is completely natural https://www.amazon.com/Sunwarrior-Classic-Wholegrain-Chocolate-Servings/dp/B00H7SG8OA/ref=pd_bxgy_121_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00H7SG8OA&pd_rd_r=EFYH4H1FQ4FJE8774MZN&pd_rd_w=JKz92&pd_rd_wg=NUu5W&refRID=EFYH4H1FQ4FJE8774MZN&th=1
they also do vanilla and berry flavours
Protein shake before working out is absolutely fine especially if you're feeling hungry. Try having it about an hour before though as otherwise you might find liquid sloshing in your belly and that's never nice when you're working out

I have yet to find a flavored whey protein powder that I actually like, plus I'm still (probably unnecessarily) suspicious of low-carb artificial sweeteners, plus I'm not scared of carbs in the first place (I'm little so I need them, according to IIFYM). Tried out ON, Six-Star, GNC, and so forth, but never managed to completely finish a tub before giving it up and throwing it out.

I've gone through basically a tub's worth (five bags) of Bob's Red Mill unflavored whey powder so far, so I guess I like that better. Generally I mix it with 12oz./scoop of a relatively-good-tasting flavor of V8, sometimes with a bit of whole milk in there somewhere too.

Last week I tried Amazing Grass "superfood" shakes, which I mixed with 8 oz./scoop Fairlife whole milk. Given that my Vitamin Shoppe had discounted the item so I was able to get a small tub for $15, it was pretty good and (contrary to some Amazon reviews) it mixed well using a blender-bottle or fork (anyone who expects to mix something innately sticky like protein with a spoon or straw is a fool). On reflection I probably have a mild allergy to wheatgrass, but maybe it says something for the quality of the product that I'm now more motivated than ever (i.e. some) to make an appointment with an allergist and find out if I'm allowed to drink wheatgrass protein.

So yesterday I tried this combo:

1 scoop Jarrow Creatine
30 mins before Jiu Jitsu.

Breakfast:
8 a.m:

1 slice of Ezekiel sourdoug toast with almond cream cheese.
Shake with Nutiva hemp protein, 1/2 banana, blueberries, water, almond milk, almond butter and a splash of flax seed oil.

Tea mix of whole foods yerba matte and spoonful of matcha.


11:30 a.m:

1 scoop BCAA in my water bottle for during class & open mat (1.5 hours)

2 p.m.:

1 scoop Glutamine
1/2 Scoop Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder

Grilled two veggie sausages with a tad of almond cheese melted on two whole wheat hot dog buns.

About 20-30 mins after eating I pretty much crashed and had to take a nap. Was tired the rest of the day. Took 1 B-complex vitamin before bed and slept in till about 8:15 am. Usually wake up before 7 and feel fine.

If it matters, for dinner I had a bowl of quinoa with grilled corn, vegetables and some seitan chorizo, a small glass of wine and after a beer.

Noticed that at Jiu Jitsu I was in beast mode but felt my mind was clear. I was worried the creatine would give me anxiety like a lot of other similar supplements often do. I felt great and had some amazing matches. Went harder with some of the tougher dudes but held my own and felt great.

I'm thinking maybe I need to work on my post workout food/routine. Maybe I need to bring a shake that's ready for right after with protein powder and glutamine or something. Any suggestions?

If you like protein powders, you might want to try out Vega. I've used it from time to time and like it. http://www.amazon.com/Vega-Nutritional-Shake-Vanilla-Ounce/dp/B0079BZDK0 I think it's pea protein based.

Another thing to consider trying is hemp seeds. They're very protein rich and good for you. I buy them in a large tub that lasts for months in my refrigerator http://www.amazon.com/Manitoba-Harvest-Shelled-Hearts-5-Pound/dp/B00196498I/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377652708&sr=1-3&keywords=hemp+seeds I add them to smoothies, oatmeal, PB&J sandwiches, homemade pesto, etc.

Also, have you tried seitan? I've been vegan for years and was never a huge fan until the vegan restaurant Native Foods came to Chicago. I love the way they prepare seitan. It's prompted me to buy some seitan at Whole Foods and I recommend Sweet Earth Foods. Their curry seitan is phenomenal and very high in protein. http://www.sweetearthfoods.com/

Kudos to you for going vegan!

Sounds great! Id recommend sticking to vegan proteins, e.g. brown rice protein. Its far healthier & cleaner as it doesn't have lactose/milk in it. Heres what I use, it tastes great. But make sure you get enough exersize to use it properly, or youll have farts like a space rocket:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002IKKRYO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2YCJ0P2LP918P&coliid=IH0W91T00DL9N
Absolutely recommending Huel to everyone, whether you have it or not. I wish I could give out discount vouchers or something to get everyone some, I will contact them and see if theyd be up for that, Il let people know on this thread.
Thanks :) I hope it helps

I eat mainly raw/vegan foods from Sunday to Thursday with the exception of boiled eggs occasionally when I feel like I need more protein.

This is where I got the idea.

I have a plant based protein powder which gets me roughly 20g Protein daily (sometimes two servings).

Besides that, my main sources for protein comes from nuts (mainly almonds), seeds (hemp @ 10g / 3 tbsp), and veggies. I try to completely avoid tofu, can't ever be too sure about the quality.

I do eat animal products on Friday/Sat though, while still staying loyal to my keto/IF diet.

It gets a bit difficult at times to get your protein on a vegan diet, but once you find a routine it really starts to get easier. It's important to be creative while eating vegan and maintaining Keto.

Also, do your best to mix up what you are eating. You want to be sure you are covering your micronutrients

Greetings fellow vegan! I don't know whether or not it's necessary for a protein supplement but I really like having it in the pantry. I use sunwarrior vanilla protein powder personally. It's almost always in a morning smoothie and I also like it just as a quick shake with unsweetened coconut milk.

If you want other protein suggestions, my favorites are boca burger patties (90 calories 17g protein/patty) and tempeh (140 calories and 16g protein/3oz). Tofu is great too, there's always a bit in nuts and beans and the beyond meat beast burger is really good but expensive. Been meaning to try cooking with seitan since it's supposed to be the highest concentration of protein in a plant-based food but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I rotate between four different protein powders, all are vegan and are sourced from multiple sources (mostly pea, flax, and hemp protein).

My favorite taste wise is the Vega Protein and Greens.

Also from Vega, the Sport Protein is nice, as it has 30 grams of protein per serving vs the 20 per serving in the protein and greens. However, Vega changed the recipe for the Sport a few months ago, and now it makes a super thick drink, almost akin to drinking cake batter. I have to split up the serving just so the drink doesn't become too thick.

The Garden of Life Sport Protein also has 30 grams of protein per serving, and isn't as thick as the Vega Sport, but I think it doesn't taste quite as good as the Vega branded stuff. Not bad though.

Lastly, I'll occasionally buy Orgain as it is the cheapest typically, though it has a somewhat grainy texture compared to the others.


I usually just buy whatever of the four are on sale at my local Co-Op, but if you're going to go with one, I'd recommend the Vega Protein and Greens if you're ok with only 20 grams of protein per serving.

Edit: oh didn't realize you have already had the protein and greens, maybe try the Vega Sport? Also, I buy all four exclusively in vanilla, so I can't speak for the other flavors.

https://www.amazon.com/Evolve-Protein-Powder-Classic-Chocolate/dp/B01071RJQE?th=1

https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Naturals-Protein-Powder-Vanilla/dp/B007TWNH48?th=1

Looks like Growing Naturals is more protein per serving, and contains brown rice like you said. I guess I'd just compare the macros and price. Evolve is cheaper, on amazon anyways, but it has a lot more carbs and less protein per serving. $12/lb. FWIW, True Nutrition sells pea protein for $8/lb. https://truenutrition.com/p-1115-pea-protein-isolate-non-gmo-1lb.aspx and you can save 5% with the code "GOVEGAN"

Protein isolate and [cereal](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CS9ZUQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_ueKQybD58BNE8 like Frosted Flakes). It's probably good to throw in some antioxidants like eating a handful of berries, spinach, or a cap of ALA.

If that's still too complicated, then just down a mix of maltodextrin and wazy maize. Also good to include some BCAAs, creatine, and antioxidants (e.g. ALA) into the mix as well.

I'd just go with straight up plain pea protein, this brand is the best I've found and its taste is also very neutral (I've had some very gross pea proteins). Hopefully it still tastes the same as it did when I bought 44 lbs. I have gotten gassy from other types of proteins (I think its the sweeteners they put in them). I have no response from plain pea protein.

My advice is to just eat a scoop or two with plain water like its medicine. That's what I do every day. Then you can have a great peanut butter or fruit smoothie that is not ruined by the protein taste.

I have/had the same issue. I switched to this, Orgain Organic Plant Based... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W52PLFP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and have been happy with it. Might be worth a try, good luck!

Growing Naturals Organic Rice Protein Powder, Chocolate Is by far the best protein I have ever tried when it comes to nutritional content, easy digestion and taste/texture. Rice protein tends to be on the gritty side and this one is not completely exempt but it's a lot better than any others I've tried. I like to do 8oz unsweetened almond milk and 8oz water to smooth it out a bit.

I'm a big fan of the Amazing Grass brand - their chocolate peanut butter tastes great without being way over-sweet or completely bland. Not quite as protein dense as other powders though.

I don't know about amino acids but this stuff is great value: [Nutrisport 90+ Protein Vegan Unflavoured 908g] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0013G6PM2)


Less than £10 for 1kg. Pure protein from rice, peas and soya.


Be warned though, it's unflavoured so tastes like chalk. It's fine once you get used to it though!


Edit: Disclaimer - I only started working out a couple of months ago so this product may be total crap, but as far as I can tell as a beginner it's good.

I'm not vegan but try to limit dairy. I love making a carrot cake smoothie with 1 cup vanilla soy milk, a handful of steamed carrots that have been cooled, frozen banana, ice and date paste. I add a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder, I use this one
Also this,pumpkin smoothie using coconut milk or soy and coconut yogurt. I also add a scoop of the same protein powder.

Their hemp protein is great! A lot of hemp proteins have as much or more fiber than protein, like this one. But TrueNutrition's has 7g fiber and 15g protein per serving, and it's cheap! It's organic, too.

But the unflavored tastes good? I've had hemp protein before that was unflavored and it wasn't horrible, but it definitely wasn't good. Really gritty and tasted kinda like dirt.

If you buy a plant based protein powder that is labelled as Vegan or whatever, it will possibly be more expensive. On the other hand if you buy fancily labelled Whey or anything else you'll get the same thing. Don't exactly know where cheapest whey is (if anyone could please show me the whey I'd appreciate, I've actually been looking for the cheapest possible yet, and can't find one cheaper than these plant based protein powders). But here are the cheapest plant based protein powders per gram of protein:
Pea Protein


Soy protein


And here's the cheapest whey I've found I'm not sure if there is cheaper whey but I've been looking around lol. Still haven't found something cheaper.

Was on FODMAP elimination for a while, now full Paleo. This one works wonders for me. Tastes amazing, dissolves instantly and has a very smooth, non-gritty, non-chalky texture. It's grain, soy, egg, dairy and ever-other-goddamn-thing-else free. I suspect it's just chocolate and air. Worth a try.

There is also a good deal on Orgain protein + greens (vanilla bean flavor) on Amazon.

1.9lbs for $12.64, or cheaper with subscribe & save. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077XDC2X8/

I use the Amazing Grass brand of Protein and Greens, in the chocolate flavor with unsweetened almond milk. It's a little strong for me, so I use 16oz of almond milk and 1 scoop of powder, coming out to 210 calories. A perfect meal replacement for eating 1200 per day, at least for me.

ETA: Here's the Amazon link. I've seen it at Walmart before, but I buy mine at Kroger.
https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Grass-Organic-Protein-Superfood/dp/B01BWM54GE?th=1&psc=1

Growing Naturals Chocolate Power Rice Protein is my go to. 24g of protein per serving, blends up well and awesome taste.

Whey protein powder!! Or if you are allergic to lactose like me, go for some good vegan protein powder. Protein powder from peas really smell and taste like ass. Try to get the one from brown rice, it has a pretty neutral taste in smoothies and it's one of the best one overall for non vegans. I personally like this brand but idk what's your price range

​

Edit: hyperlink

I'm gluten free and avoid dairy so I've been using pea-protein almost daily. I make a shake with some almond milk,fruit, and kale or spinach, and it does really well as a breakfast with some toast or oatmeal. Also a nice way to sneak a serving of veggies into breakfast.

So I use this Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder, Natural Unsweetened, 1.59 Pound, 1 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FNVHGHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QdIGybCTKDMGY

It has no dairy/soy/gluten. I LOVE IT. I combine it with iced coffee and sometimes a banana and it only has a slight taste. I highly recommend it. I hate all protein powder that is flavored because there is always some type of sweetener in it and I find that I can always taste it.

http://www.amazon.com/Sunwarrior-Classic-Rice-Protein-Vanilla/dp/B002IKKRYO
This is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!

Avoid Soy Proteins since you're male.

Anyway, Here's a chocolate/peanut butter recipe for a protein shake.

Ingredients

• I usethis protein, but you can use whatever you like.

• 1 Frozen banana

• 1/2 Cup Frozen berry of any kind.

• 1 Cup (Adjustable) of your choice of Almond Milk(Also your choice, betware the calories in the sweetened versions).

You can also use Rice Milk if you want, but that's more calories. Avoid Soy Milk since you're male.

• 2 Tbsp Natural peanut butter, not that jiffy or skippy bullshit. It's not the same.

_____



How to make. In a blender pour the liquid in first, whatever the serving size is on the protein powder you choose on top, and toss the rest of the shit in. Blend. Blend. Blend. Blend. Blend.

You may have to adjust the liquids or "extras" based on your macros/cal needs/tastes, but this is a solid shake that's about 600 cal. Keep in mind that this is 100% a meal replacement and not a supplement.

I like this one by Biochem. It's kind of expensive though.

I get NOW Foods soy protein powder. It's unflavored and has 20 grams protein per scoop with 37 servings per container. Only $20 for 2 lbs which is extremely affordable in my book compared to other brands. I get mine from Amazon. NOW Foods Soy Protein, 2 Pounds by Now Foods http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OSS4M/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_r6dTtb0JH2FDE

Amazon links for informational purposes only.

1x scoop Vega Sport Protein (Vega Sport Protein Powder, Chocolate, 4.36 lb, 45 Servings https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXZS18X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vVjFzbYHKRE6S)

4x tablespoons of PBFit (PBfit All-Natural Peanut Butter Powder, 30 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKEECLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9jkFzbQXSNSAT)

I did the math (pictured) and I'm not even getting a quarter of my wanted caloric intake (3.5k+). I'm 170 and slender, trying to get huge gains, and I workout daily but I also notice I get hungry A LOT. I told myself I'd change and I'm seeing it not as easy as powder + water.

I just go for Nutrisports £10 powder. Be careful only the 90+ is vegan.

Doesn't taste the best but I blend it with soya milk a banana peanut butter and a drizzle of Agave syrup (makes a big difference) and it goes down fine.

I recenlty picked up Soy Protein Isolate (https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Soy-Protein-Pounds/dp/B0013OSS4M) because it was on sale at my local Trader Joe's. I seem to like it so far, anyone else take soy protein? I've taken whey in the past to hit my protein goals but never soy protein.

I feel your pain so bad! I've been in the macro-tracking world for 4 weeks or so now and it has been eye-opening how difficult it is to get over 100g of protein a day as a vegan!

I've been supplementing with soy protein isolate https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Soy-Protein-Pounds/dp/B0013OSS4M/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474386806&sr=8-1&keywords=soy+protein+isolate and Vega One https://www.amazon.com/Vega-Plant-Protein-Powder-Mocha/dp/B017RMG6BU/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474386827&sr=8-1&keywords=vega+one+mocha. I do the Vega One + SPI in the morning for breakfast (it is shockingly filling) and just the SPI post-workout on my lifting days.

For food protein, Tofurkey meat subs and Boca vegan burgers have been life savers. Also Nugo Slim crunchy peanut butter bars pre-gym (17g protein and 180 calories).

Keep playing with your numbers. You'll get where you want to! And also good luck with your transition to vegan!

134 g per dollar?!
that is crazy!
