Reddit reviews Sun Warrior Warrior Blend Raw Plant-Based Complete Protein Powder ~ Vanilla ~ 2.2 lbs Bag

A couple years ago I got "duped" into signing up as a coach, not to sell beachbody products, but to get discounts on them. I did the Shakeology thing for a few months, but decided to cancel. It tastes great and is dense nutritionally. It was way too expensive though. If you don't eat enough fruits/veggies and are looking for a recovery/meal replacement it's a decent, albeit expensive option. Now I eat like 70% paleo, stay away from dairy and wheat, and use Sun Warrior's protein powder with added chia and flax seeds. I've seen equal if not better benefits by doing this than when I was drinking Shakeology.

This is my brand of choice.

Also a good brand

I LOVE SunWarrior protein (I've only tried vanilla and stuck with that). It is a bit pricey, but amazing! I get it from Amazon or Vitacost (http://www.amazon.com/Sunwarrior-Warrior-Blend-Protein-Vanilla/dp/B005WLY4L8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421711066&sr=8-1&keywords=sunwarrior)

I normally do 2 scoops of protein, 1 TBSP of peanut or almond butter, 2 cups of soy or almond milk and 1 banana. This is a loaded drink - about 500 calories. However, I usually split this between after breakfast and after lunch, but it would be enough to replace breakfast. This sounds like a lot of calories, but this has not made me bulk up at all... the only way to really bulk up as females, would be if we have excess body fat (this looks bulky over muscles), wayyyy excessive calories, or extremes like steroids or possibly hormone imbalances. Otherwise, you don't have to worry!

Not cheap, but nutritionally covers like, everything. Vanilla is ok if you like vanilla, chocolate is bad if you like chocolate.

I personally like this protein powder http://www.amazon.com/Sunwarrior-Warrior-Protein-Powder-Vanilla/dp/B005WLY4L8

No milk or soy products and no Vitamin A. Tastes great when mixed with almond milk

I'm just starting my own fitness journey (trying to build muscle and lose fat), so I am no expert (yet!). My target is 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat, so I have been watching all of those closely.

I have found this Black Bean pasta to be awesome. 2 grams of fat, 25 grams of protein per serving. I added some cubed seitan and diced tomatoes, some cayenne, salt and pepper.

The whole meal breaks down as:

• 330 calories
  
• 40g of carbs
  
• 4g of fat
  
• 47g protein
  
  If you have a carb craving and can get this black bean pasta locally, definitely do so. I like it better than the brown rice pastas I've tried. You could easily sub pasta sauce for the diced tomatoes.
  
  When looking at the nutrition for some things, I've just found the protein content to not be worth the fat/calories. Clif Builder Bars are something I'll only eat in a pinch. So far, seitan seems great because you can heat it up quickly and add some healthy sauce/condiment and have a huge amount of protein for very little fat/calories.
  
  I like the Sun Warrior Protein Powder. They've made it taste better recently, and I don't notice the stevia aftertaste, anymore. I'll drink it with soy milk in a smoothie or sometimes just with water and a couple tablespoons of coconut milk creamer.
  
  Good luck and stick with it! It's not that hard to find the right things, you just have to keep at it.
