Pea protein
I have tried Pea protein isolate and have been consuming it for about three years now. Although I do also use other such as whey and soy, it's my main source. The brand I am using does not contain additives, extra sugar etc...
I absolutely love it.
I am not vegetarian nor am I vegan. It's just a choice as I am trying to keep a balance in protein source. I do not want to mainly rely on dairy ones.

Brown rice
Sorry I clicked too quickly and forgot to add brown rice protein as well. it contains less protein percentage though. I also love it too. I never use the egg white powder protein as I would rather consume pasteurized egg white from cartons.

Ok great I'm off to the health food store now to start reading ingredients and pick one out. Thank you so much for your help!

Hemp is okay. I have both the regular and the chocolate. I think it takes a little getting used to. I LOVE Sunwarrior vanilla. I buy it online, usually from Vitacost.

I use mainly whey and egg white proteins.
I tried a pea/hemp protein (all three flavors chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) from greensmoothiegirl.com I thought it tasted disgusting I know it's good for you but just not for me. It comes out much thicker than I'm used too. I seem to like my drinks thinner anyways.
Also just tried Olympian Labs Pea protein (chocolate). Almost as bad
I'm sticking with whey and egg white for now with either almond or coconut milk.

Vega is a plant based sport performance line. I think Shakeology is too but even more expensive than Vega.

Thanks everyone! I wound up getting hemp this time because it had the least ingredients, it also had the least protein which I'm not thrilled about but I will try different kinds and see what I like best.
Hey Linda, it sounds like you've already purchased your stash, but if you are interested in trying other brands later, I really like SunWarrior (chocolate flavor), and I also really like PlantFusion (vanilla bean flavor). I really like that they are both not only vegan, but soy free, which is important to me.
Same with me, I don't eat any soy. I actually went to the store thinking I would get the Plant Fusion, but then went with the hemp. I may try it next, I have also heard good things about Sunwarrior. Thank you for your input!

I also use VegaSport, which mixes types of vegan proteins (but no soy). I love the vanilla.

Trixoo, too bad we aren't neighbors, we could swap Wen flavors and Protein powders and work out DVDs! (I think you are Wen, too?) : )
