Vegan Protein Powder

[Plasticbundy]

Hi Jordan, I remember you from Brute Strength Gym in Norfolk. I am sensitive to milk and milk-derived products. Whey protein makes me break out, particularly on my back. I would like to switch to a vegan protein powder so my skin will clear up. I generally only have one scoop of protein powder per day, so it's not a huge part of my diet. Do you happen to know of any good vegan protein powders, or do you have any parameters to look for that would tell me that a protein powder is of decent quality? Thank you for all the free information you put out. I really enjoy your podcasts.

There are no "good" vegan protein powders in that they generally lack the concentrated source of essential amino acids that whey protein is known for. Given that it's only 1 scoop per day of your diet, I'd recommend getting your protein from whole foods if whey has that effect on you.
