Protein Supp Recommendation

[Visagex]

Hello everyone, I've eagerly been trying to help my wife consume more protein over the past few months;

other than the obvious changes I am helping her make to her diet, I am looking for recommendations for a protein brand for her.

I am trying to find her something she enjoys so that she is happy to drink a protein drink so with that being said ill put some notes.

Notes:

- She hates the taste of whey / gritty-ness / after taste.
- Whey also gives her a really bad stomach ache; this could be the dairy as well but I can't confirm.

So I am mainly looking for something that is usually easier on the stomach and taste a bit better; which means I don't mind if there are some added sugars(stevia) for taste to help her.

Thank you

Most if not all flavored protein powders have some form artifical sweetener in them, be it stevia, sucralose, acek or otherwise.

If she's lactose intolerant, you're limited to whey isolate and non-dairy protein powders. DO NOT buy beefiso, beef isolate or any other collagen based source of protein powder.

Pick something that she likes the taste and fits her budget and macros. If she doesn't like powdered food, she can always eat more protein in general. Most women of average size shouldn't have much issue meeting their macro via their diet. .8-1g per lb of LBM is more than sufficient.

You can bypass the protein shake altogether and try some different recipes. If you find out it is dairy making her stomach upset, I wouldn't recommend this but I like to put a scoop a whey in with my greek yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero) and stir it up good. Can easily be 30+ grams of protein and not too high on the caloric scale.

Also, don't know how she feels about pumpkin but I love this recipe I found a while back. Protein Pancakes. Take a can of 100% pumpkin, two scoops of whey, 1/2 to 3/4 cup (or around 8 to 12 tablespoons) of egg whites, little baking powder, and maybe add a little vanilla or stevia to make it a little sweeter. Stir it all up and cook it like normal pancakes. Can easily make 3 to 4 servings (maybe more depending on how much she eats). Packed full of protein and good carbs.

Try FORM Nutrition (vegan) or Garden of life raw. They taste really good

Collagen protein, we have a brand here in Aus called Reset Nutrition. They have some good flavors

Collagen protein....

Is a giant waste of money. Terrible amino profile. You may as well just take gelatin and save yourself a crapton of money.
