If you use protein powder in your smoothies would you mind sharing the brand? I was told that I should not have protein with glutamine in it and I thought people around here may know of a bunch of different ones. Thanks!

I'm allergic to soy and whey, so I use Nutribiotic's Rice Protein Powder, even though I don't generally eat grains.

I alternate it with raw eggs, which is something you're not supposed to do. You can parboil the egg for a minute.

You can also use nut butters, though I'm unable to eat nuts at present.

There are a lot of different protein powders out there... Nut milks, whey protein (not ok if you are allergic to dairy), soy protein, pea protein, egg, rice, oat, hemp, chia or other seeds...just stumbled into a website selling pimpkin seed powder as protein powder (I want some!).

I'd look for anything non-GMO & Organic, and try to stay away from grains, dairy, and soy. So that leaves other legumes/pea protein, nut milks (watch the sugar content!), seed proteins, egg, and plain amino acid powder (expensive, not as good as the whole food proteins for nutrition).
