Seyka’s Favorite Vegan Protein Powders
I am writing this blog super quickly while looking out of my window over the river in Seville, Spain because my dear friends keep asking me what protein powders I like and I want to have one link to send them instead of typing up the answers a bunch of times.
Why am I in Spain? Check out our 21 Country Vegan Voyage here!
I have not tried all of the awesome protein there is out there, but I have tried quite a few and this is the list of my favorites I’ve found. What I look for:
- Protein, not a “meal replacement”. I’m not looking for a complete meal here because I am often mixing my protein in with other things. I tend to not enjoy meal replacements as much by the taste, too.
- Easily digestible. Pea protein is a favorite of mine because it’s so easy on the gut. Rice protein is great too.
- High protein. High protein, low carb, low fat.
- Not soy. I LOVE soy, this is not about disliking soy. But I eat this magical food whenever I can (I love tofu so much now) so I prefer to have my supplements not be soy based so I can have everything in moderation.
- FLAVOR. Yum factor is key.
- Texture. A grimy texture can kill the vibe for protein for me.
So here are my favorite protein powders. They are not in order of favorites, because I use them each for different things: I have below a chocolate favorite; a vanilla favorite; a peanut butter favorite; and two neutral favorites.
Vegan Protein: Chocolate
Sun Warrior Classic Protein Chocolate
LISTEN UP!! I have made a huge mistake here before and ordered the (I am not recommending this one!) Protein Warrior Blend and I tried to return it because it tasted like butt and they wouldn’t let me. I am not recommending the blend! The blend is complete protein that has carbs and fat in it as well so it is more like a meal replacement.
Sun Warrior Classic Protein is the good one that I am recommending. This is a light chocolatey flavor that you can add to many things!

- I blend with frozen bananas and a touch of almond milk and some peanut butter drizzled on top for a delicious dessert for example.
- Or shake it up with my favorite alternative milk (like an oat milk) to make a chocolate milk!
-
- Note: I have not tried the Classic Plus Protein but it is next on my list I bet it is great.

Vegan Protein: Vanilla
Vega Sport Performance Protein Vanilla
Vega also has all-in-one shakes, a regular protein, and more. Their Sport Protein Vanilla is my favorite so far!

- I use this in a berry smoothie to make a vanilla berry milk shake!
- I use this in a shaker bottle with water or vegan milk (like Califia almond milk)!

Vegan Protein: Peanut Butter
Organic PBfit
This isn’t really a protein powder but it is a powder with protein! This is great for adding fun flavor to food, and it’s awesome for hikes or backpacking so you can bring peanut butter without carrying the water that is in it.

- I use this in my Peanut Butter Protein Green Smoothie

Neutral Flavored Proteins
Trader Joes has an Organic Unsweetened Unflavored Pea Protein that is way less expensive than the name brands that you can buy. I LOVE this protein for mixing into things that I want to add protein too but not necessarily flavor.
If you don’t have a Trader Joes nearby or you just love ordering from Amazon, here is another high-protein, vegan, organic, neutral flavored protein for you: KOS.

- I use this in my Peanut Butter Protein Green Smoothie
- And I use this in my Green Ginger Smoothie
