Liquid protein

Having surgery that will require a semi-liquid diet for a few weeks. Before I invest in gross protein shakes, are there any vegan protein shakes you recommend? Has anone tried the vegan protein waters? I am planning on "watering down" the smoothies I typically make and eliminating the chia seeds I add.

The Chocolate and Vanilla Vegan Huel is pretty good.

I get berry and banana (to which I sometimes add cocoa powder). They don't really taste good but get the job done

I'm only on my fifth day of being vegan, but on my Costco run I discovered these Orgain brand dairy-free protein shakes. 35 g each. The chocolate one is pretty tasty.

Silken tofu u can add to pretty much any smoothie and itll bump up protein & texture a bit. I'd recommend having strong base flavour though like bananas to cover that tofu flavour

Silken tofu doesn’t really taste like anything

I like the owyn ones. I use to have the caramel one a lot.

I personally love the PhF branded one. I've only tried the chocolate flavour and it's really good. I pair it with Oatly fibre milk.

I prefer to use unflavored powders and flavor it myself with banana, chocolate or other fruit.

I love OWYN pro elite and RNWY, and the Pirq ready to drink ones are really delicious and easy on the tummy as well

The double choc mug cakes, Apple greens, Salted caramel peanut butter and the vanilla buttercream or caramelised white choc or biscuit almond protein are my faves

I use frozen fruit, water, peanut butter powder and nutricost pea protein powder (chocolate). I don't use full scoops of the powders, just a couple spoon fulls.

u/Suitable-Ad-4011 1d ago

I was wondering about the pea proteins. Tx!

Orgain vegan vanilla protein powder

Orgain chocolate premade shakes

Ripple chocolate premade shakes

More expensive refrigerated Koia shakes especially the almond coconut good god that one is amazing they’re on sale at whole foods now but still pretty expensive

If you really want to watch your macros make on yourself - I mix 25 grams of soy protein isolate, 10 grams of pyure sugarfree vegan chocolate powder, 10 grams of monkfruit extract. Sometimes with 8 grams of mocha pb 2 powder.

I'd go for the Owyn Zero Sugar line. Might as well build up your immune system by excluding sugar before your surgery

Alpro plant protein tastes nice
