After considering several vegan-based protein powder options, we chose Truvani Vegan Pea Protein Powder as our favorite <a class=\"cr-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/digestive-health-pictures\/food-substitutes-for-lactose-intolerance.aspx\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dairy-free<\/a> protein powder. Not only is it dairy-free, but it also contains 21 g of a pea, brown rice, and chia seed protein blend. It only contains six ingredients, including monk fruit extract \u2014 a natural, calorie-free sweetener with minimal aftertaste and no added sugar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTruvani is a great dairy-free protein powder option, made from just six ingredients and two plant-based protein sources\u2013peas and chia seeds. It has a smooth, nonchalky texture and is the perfect addition to oatmeal, protein shakes, smoothies, and more! I personally consume this protein powder on an almost daily basis, and I love all of the different flavors!,\u201d says <a class=\"cr-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/nutritionbymegan.com\/about\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Megan Huff, RD<\/a>, of Nutrition by Megan. It is available in several fun flavors such as Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana Cinnamon, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Unflavored options.<\/p>\n<p>It also contains pumpkin seeds, which can provide a light boost of fiber and healthy fats.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is worth pointing out that this protein powder has 290 milligrams of sodium (13 percent of your total daily value) per serving, which, similar to Vega\u2019s Plant-Based Protein earlier in our list, this might not be ideal for people closely monitoring their sodium intake or those who have high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"view-sources\">[23]<\/p>\n<p class=\"view-sources\">[24]<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, although the product itself is free of common allergens, it is produced in a facility that also processes wheat, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, peanuts, and eggs, so it may not be suitable for individuals with these allergies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Milk-based protein powders can present some real issues for those with lactose intolerance users, as well as vegan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[102,6636,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-75360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-nutrition","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
