Plant Protein Powder

Pea, rice or a blended plant protein, 20 g or so a scoop, in vanilla, chocolate or unsweetened. Dairy-free and usually lower in lactose-related bloating.

• Pea / rice blend
• About 20 g a scoop
• Dairy-free

Why you’d want it: The whey alternative for anyone who finds dairy heavy, which is a lot of people once portions shrink.

Picking tip: Pea on its own is a little short on one amino acid; a pea-and-rice blend rounds it out, so blends are the better buy. Plant powders are thicker than whey: use more liquid and a shaker ball, or blend. The unsweetened tubs are the ones to stir into oats or soup.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.
