The plant protein bags sit right beside the whey at Supps247 Springvale, so it is easy to compare. Here is what is on the shelf and how people use it.
On the shelf
- Rapid Vegan Plant Protein
- Rule One Plant Protein
- GHOST Vegan Plant-Based Protein
- All plant based protein
Taste and texture
Plant powders are thicker and a little earthier than whey. Use more water, shake longer, or blend with a banana. Chocolate and caramel flavours tend to be the easiest first pick.
Best use for each style
- Shakes: a pea and rice blend mixes smoothest.
- Smoothies: any plant protein works once it is blended.
- Baking and oats: plant protein holds moisture well.
Check the label
Look at the protein per serve and the allergen statement. Dairy free does not always mean free from soy, nuts or gluten.
Only avoiding lactose?
A whey isolate is very low in lactose, but it is still a milk product. It is not suitable for a milk allergy or a vegan diet.
