Ok- today I tried TWO protein powders. I only tried two because I could not even drink one sip of the first one.....First up, NutriBiotic Vegan Rice Protein- Vanilla

- 55 calories (in just the packet), 0.3 g fat
- Completely vegan. Contains no soy, milk, egg, yeast, corn, wheat, sugars, or preservatives
- Ingredients: Enzymatically processed rice protein from whole grain brown rice.
Review: I've tried this powder both in yogurt and today in milk. I could bare the chalkiness in yogurt but in milk...I couldn't even take a full sip. Ick...
Next, Jay Robb Whey Protein- Chocolate

Be back later with my clean eating guidelines! Thank you for the fabulous response on this- btw!!!

Erica,
That so funny you reviewed that protein powder today. Yeah, definitely not sweet at all! I actually liked the chocolate one in my protein pancakes, but the maple syrup and banana definitely helped with the taste!
Jay Robb - haven't found anything that taste better than his whey. I'm anxious for your Sun Warrior review. My boss has some samples on the way to his office as well. Can't wait to try it for myself as VeggieGirl seems to love it.
That bread looks better and better every time you bake it!
thanks for the reviews!!!
as for that vegan bread - holy moly that just sounds amazing!
THE ONLY WORTHY RICE PROTEIN IS THE SUN WARRIOR BRAND!!
That bread looks amazing! YUM! Looking forward to hearing about clean eating :)
That vegan bread sounds sooo good!

Way to go on the bread!! It looks insanely delicious!
Jay Robb and his biceps - I say it every time but honestly, does he have a permit for those guns?
ahh thanks for the protein recommendations!
Yum!! That bread looks so delicious : )
Can't wait to see your clean eating guidelines ; )
the bread sounds yummy! glad you had a great run :)
ooo that bread looks REALLY good!!!
Ya know, for as many protein powders that I've tried, I hardly ever mix them with just milk....maybe the chalkiness would diminish with frozen fruit?
thanks for the recipe!!
and thank you for reviewing protein powders!!! if you find a vegan one you like, let me know!!
Looks Yummy!!
That bread looks amazing! :)
that bread looks fantastic! i def need to make it this weekend!!!
The bread looks great!!
I like the chocolate Jay Robb whey powder, and I like the vanilla too. I've been putting 1/4 packet of the vanilla into my oat bran the last few days, and it is definitely keeping more full until lunchtime. I don't really even notice it is in there, aside from a slight vanilla bonus hit.
Thanks for your reviews! I think I'm going to be incorporating more of these as my diet keeps shifting in a veggie direction!
Since Sammie is avoiding wheat for now I was forced to eat this bread against my will. I'll never forgive you! Just kidding - it was really good. I didn't even know it was vegan until I looked at this post. It was pretty moist, and had a sweet (but not overly so) flavor. The chocolate chips worked well in the bread. In fact, I think all bread should have chocolate chips in it.
Sammie will definitely have to freeze a piece for when she samples some wheat again in a few weeks.
Thanks for the bread!
Charlie (Sammie's husband)
Yummy sweet bread and vegan too. :-D
thanks for the reviews! i will be in the market for more protein powder soon...
