Free Samples from Orgain Protein
I use Orgain protein powder now and love it. However, my information book says that whey protein powder is the preferred powder. I asked my nutritionist, and she said that it is easier to access the protein in whey than from a plant based powder. I am really hoping to be allowed to stick with Orgain after my surgery!
I developed allergis to dairy (whey) and soy after a few years post op RNY. I used too much of it over the years and my body had enough.
IMO - changing protein powders - making sure you use variety of it ...may help preventing food allergies.
Since I stop using whey and avoid chase and soy - getting my proteins from real food and sometimes vegan protein shakes (not often) my blood test show better than perfect protein levels. As long as you don't use one type of proteins as the only main source of proteins - Orgain are great choice as an addition to meet sources ..or nuts, eggs, fish...
