Anyone know any good organic or gluten free shake supps? Pure protein? Not a bunch of other crap mixed in it?

Sunwarrior is the best of the best in my opinion.. A bit pricey but well worth it.

How about getting pasteurized eggs and just throwing them raw into your smoothie?

One doesn't utilise the protein in raw eggs as one does when it's cooked.
So, seems like a waste of an egg to me.

Jay Robb's has an egg white protein powder sweetened with stevia...I like the strawberry. Also, my vitamin shoppe here has sample packets for around $2 so you don't have to invest and then hate it!
I prefer the taste of whey protein powders- but whey is a dairy and many people have problems with it.
There are vegan/pea protein powders at most organic stores as well- in my opinion they take a lot of doctoring to be tolerable!! :-)

For muscle gains and replenishment, try raw milk from a reputable source if you don't have casein intolerance. You won't find anything better on the market. :)

I mean where do they derive whey protein from?

For Q: "Belgian gastrointestinal physiologists discovered that about 94 percent of egg protein is digested when cooked, compared to between 55 and 64 percent of the protein from raw eggs."

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's not like the egg is wasted, though, and the taste of cooked egg in a smoothie would be blech.

You are quite lucky. It's legal in Florida for "animal" consumption.

Look up Inflamx. It's incredibly expensive, but my doctor recommended it when I was fasting during my flare, and it helped control bowel movements. It's specifically formulated for those with ulcerative colitis and crohns.

Dr Mercola Pro-Optimal Whey protein powder is very gut friendly. It was recommended to me on this board. I have had it every morning for the last 6 months and really like it. Chocolate with Chocolate Almond Milk, Chia seeds, Psyillium Seed Powder, Ceylon Cinnamon is a great way to get a protein boost first thing in the morning.

Best...

I've been taking Nutiva organic hemp protein. Inexpensive and the taste is decent (I mix with almond milk because I can't handle milk, no whey for me!) it also has a decent amount of fiber in it too. Win win!

I take this stuff:

it tastes really good. I have the vanilla flavor. it's a goat's whey protein.

I would second the casein protein. After much research I chose a homemade very low carb Soylent recipe and that is one of six ingredients. It has 120 calories per serving which includes three grams of carbs and one gram of sugar with 24 grams of potein

Expensive but Tera's Whey Goat protein, everything natural!
