Okay, I know there are some other health nuts here besides me. I am looking for y'all's suggestions as to the best-tasting, hypo-allergenic, gluten-free, sugar-free, corn-syrup free, soy-free, milk/whey/casein-free, peanut-free, orange-free (you get the idea) super-nutrition powders.
My current favorites are:
Blue Lightning (Rachel ordered it for me at FTHOI) -- light, refreshing, super rich in antioxidants (Have also tried the yellow and red lightning drinks -- okay, but not as yum as the blue)
Nano-greens 10 (from Dr. Bawa's office) -- this is THE best-tasting green powdered drink so far. Somehow they make it so you cannot taste all the chlorella and spirulina and such -- instead, it tastes sort of tropical-fruity but not overpowering.
Pea protein from GNC (I NEVER shop there except when desperate) -- this makes a yummy protein snack that when mixed with just water, isn't filling. Mixes easily, and blends well with other flavors. Can turn a fruit smoothie into a while meal with something like 25 grams protein per scoop.
Raw Protein (I think that's the name) by Garden of Life. This also mixes prettty easily, has 18 grams protein per serving, but is neutral in flavor. So if you have something that already tastes perfect, like a smoothie, you could add this and it would be a bit richer, creamier, and loaded with protein. 18 grams per scoop I think. This is a more balanced protein than the pea protein.
I just got one yesterday that is a chocolate hemp protein and fiber drink mix. It's kinda pricey per serving compared to the others, but it was the only chocolate one I could find without any forbidden ingredients. I'm saving that for a tasty treat when I am jonesing for the chocolate.
So. I've never been one to go in for this sort of "just add water" nutrition, but at this time, I have aneed for it because I'm pretty run down and need to rebuild myself with dense nutrition, without adding any more calories than absolutely necessary. Love my veggies, but I simply can't get everything I need right now with food alone.
Appreciate any info about other super-dense nutrition mixes that you love and recommend, especially delicious green drinks. I have several cartons of nasty tasting ones that I am trying to use up by hiding half a scoop here and half a scoop there in yummier stuff....
