Hey PBF’ers! I’m a day late for Product Review Saturday, but I was having some technical difficulties with the site (and my computer) yesterday. Fingers crossed that we’re all good now and we can get back to enjoying meal prep and product reviews and recipes 😉 Many of you probably know that I decided to go dairy-free at the beginning of this year as an experiment to see if it would help my stomach. Turns out, dairy is a huge contributor to bloating and general stomach discomfort for me, so I’ve pretty much stuck with the dairy-free thing.
One of the really tough things about going dairy-free was still managing to hit my protein macros…I used to drink whey shakes and eat Greek yogurt all the time. I knew I had to try to find a dairy-free shake that could help me get the amount of protein I need to reach my goals. So…I present to you my Quest for the Best Non-Dairy Protein! I’ve tried out 19 brands and only found a handful that I would actually drink again.
Above each brand photo you’ll see a clickable link to find it on Amazon and below each brand photo you’ll see a little spreadsheet snippet that includes my rating of taste/texture, plus the macro breakdown, price, and ingredients list. You can click on the little snippets to see them larger or you can click here to see the entire spreadsheet at once.
Here’s a quick rundown of different colors you’ll see in the charts below:
- Yellow (on the macro ratio) indicates carb content.
- Blue (on the macro ratio) indicates protein content.
- Green (on the macro ratio) indicates fat content.
