You need to look for a protein drink/powder that is 100% whey protein isolate, which is the more expensive form of whey protein, but is also lactose free. Many of the whey protein products on the market are a blend of isolate and cheaper non-isolated whey proteins. Then, you can use either lactaid lactose free milk or the almond or soy milks, or take a lactaid tablet before having the dairy products.
Good luck,

PlantFusion Protein Powder is Lactose Free. It is also soy free, gluten free, dairy free and vegan. I get it on Amazon. I like all the flavors, but chocolate is the best. It is also sweetened with Stevia, so more natural. I love it and still drink one every morning. If you like the really sweet pre-made milk proteins, you will probably not like this. It is definitely more bland than some others.
1 Serving has 21 grams of protein and 120 calories. Mixes with water or milk substitute.
With that said, some people feel plant protein is less digestible. Not sure what the studies prove or not. But I feel fabulous when I drink them and when I miss one or cannot drink the whole one, my energy level goes down. I also can drink one from 8-10 and not want anything else until after noon. So I do feel the protein holds me over to lunch.

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
