9. Aloha Organic Plant-Based Protein Shakes
Pea and brown rice protein combine to give you 20 g of protein power in one of these conveniently packaged drinks. They also feature organic MCT oil from coconut for natural energy endurance, and they contain zero sugar additives like stevia, which is why Fischer recommends them.
What reviewers say: “Our family really likes the coconut flavor of these shakes. They are smooth and taste good. Not to mention all the healthy ingredients it has in them. They are more expensive than other shakes but as my dad always said, ‘you get what you pay for!’,” one reviewer writes. Other available flavors include chocolate sea salt, vanilla, and iced coffee.
Make it a meal: At 170 calories, these shakes will leave room for a little something else. Pair it with a banana (105 calories) with 2 tbsp of natural peanut butter (188 calories) to stay fuller, longer.
10. Owyn Vegan Meal Replacement Shakes
Certified vegan and gluten-free, Owyn’s meal replacement shakes deliver 20 g of plant-based protein—a blend of pea protein, organic flaxseed oil, oat powder, and organic pumpkin seed powder. It also offers 23 different vitamins and minerals and contains zero fillers and artificial sweeteners. And for anyone with an allergy, these are also soy and tree-nut-free.
It’s also important to note that these have a higher calorie content than most of the products on this list—each shake contains 300 calories. This means it’s perfect to pair with something light, like a serving of fruit, or veggies with a couple tablespoons of hummus to help round out your on-the-go meal. Try it in chocolate, vanilla, or chai, or pick up a variety pack to try all three flavors before settling on your favorite.
What reviewers say: “I have severe IBS and a number of health conditions that make eating real food difficult. These shakes have helped me significantly, and they taste great!” says a customer.
Make it a meal: Savor this creamy drink with a small snack, like 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries and a cup of dairy-free yogurt.
