My husband uses NutriBiotic Vegan Rice Protein powder. It has 1g sugar and 12g of protein per serving.

My naturopath recommended Vega Protein powder to me. It's hemp protein and a bunch of other stuff...the guy who developed it is a body builder I think. Each serving has 25g of protein. It's expensive, though.

I also use Rainbow Light Rice protein powder. It's more affordable, but has less protein per serving.

my advice is that you realistically don't need it, unless there is some sort of abnormal situation i don't know of here. protein is overemphasized. most people get far more than they need.

i really think you'll be fine if you even half-way try to get protein in your diet. your bigger concern is iron and b12.

you can probably throw some dried peas in your blender to make some pea powder.
as long as your fruits have enough flavor, the peas probably won't make much of a yuck of your smoothie. (but i haven't tried this so don't kill me if it IS yuck.)

if you're concerned with varying your protein sources, you could always alternate in some almond milk every so often.
when most of my protein was soy-derived i found i got a little lethargic, and now that i'm getting more variety, i've got loads more energy to spare.

Interesting. I haven't used almond milk in awhile... that's a pretty good idea, and simple enough to change. Thanks.
