The second one I make (because I am going through menopause) contains a basic soy protein powder combined with red star yeast, ground chia and powdered beets. I alternate these every few days. I use them to make a smoothie with green tea and a variety of frozen berries every morning. My health has improved a lot in the 3 months I have been doing this.

Plant based proteins seem to do quite well with those with food sensitivities (excepting hemp, of course.) You can also "build your own" plant based protein powder at http://truenutrition.com/ (formerly known and reviewed here on the site as True Protein.) It's a bit more cost effective. Thanks for sharing, and love your description of the grittiness ;) Thanks Allison! Plant based proteins seem to do quite well with those with food sensitivities (excepting hemp, of course.)

I am not "allergic" but sensitive to gluten and dairy and I'm also a bodybuilder and personal trainer. I've tried so many proteins and landed on VEGA. It is a natural plant based formula developed by a vegan Ironman Triathlete. It is a blend...so if the hemp bothered you there IS hemp in it. The other protein sources in the blend are: yellow pea, brown rice and flax seed. It also has digestive enzymes, Chlorella, Probiotics, Omega 3 and 6, 100% of every vitamin you can think of, 26g protein, 6g fat, 15g fiber, 22carb and 240 calories.it contains no animal products, dairy, gluten, soy, sugar, wheat, yeast artificial sweeteners, GMO’s or pesticides. www.myvega.com and is sold in Vitamin Shoppe. It is a bit costly but if you consider all of the things also included, well worth the price. The taste is good but a little gritty due to all of the...plants :) Hi Everyone!

There is still a bit of controversy regarding the cross reactive foods, but it is definitely something to consider. Here's some more info for those who are interested: http://www.thedr.com/images/gs201crfoods.pdf Great points!

(Others can include tapioca, sorghum, milk chocolate, caffeine, and so on.)

I reacted so fast the first (and last) time I had hemp in a protein shake. For Yvonne,

There *should* not be anything in there for you to react to, but you never know. Have you had chia seed previously? Hi Yvonne,

So sorry that you had that experience! It is possible that increasing your protein intake MAY have caused that, but it seems unlikely. Could it possibly have been anything else you ingested? You definitely want to slowly increase your protein intake gradually, not jam an extra 50 grams in all at once. Before you try another type, I'd try a half scoop mixed with a good bit of water and see how that goes. Keep us posted! Hi Saretta!
