Lactose Free Protein Shake- Top Three Tasty Alternative Recipes

Here at NaturalNutritionCompany.com, we always recommend eating prepared nutrient-dense food when available. However, life happens, and we do not have the time to prepare a home-cooked meal. Sometimes we need a quick, protein-rich shake or smoothie when rushing out the door. Whey protein is one of the best meal replacement powders available. Unfortunately, not everyone can have whey protein due to lactose intolerance and dairy sensitivities, and no whey protein lactose free options. For those sensitivities to whey, we have put together this article, Lactose Free Protein Shake- Top Three Tasty Alternative Recipes.

In this article, I want to discuss healthy alternatives to whey/dairy-derived protein sources that will make a fast and delicious meal without causing digestive issues for those sensitive to dairy products.

Egg Protein Powder- Lactose Free Protein Shake

I began using egg white protein powder over 15 years ago and have never looked back. It is just as delicious as a whey protein powder, containing 0g of fat and fewer calories than whey protein powder. I recommend using Jay Robb Egg White protein powder. It tastes amazing, is sweetened with stevia, and mixes very well.

You can buy it at most health food stores or My Supplement Store here.

Here is a delicious recipe I use when I am crunched on time. It tastes just like a milkshake!

French Vanilla “Milk” Shake

• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or Almond Milk
• One scoop MRM Egg White Protein Powder (vanilla flavor)
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Ice
• Blend and Serve!

Hemp Seed- Lactose Free Protein Shake

I am going to address the elephant in the room. Hemp seed is completely healthy to ingest and will not get you high. That said, Hemp seed has many health benefits, such as improving heart health, boosting metabolism, and even cleansing the colon.

Hemp seed protein powder is a great vegan protein source and contains essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. Hemp also has a nutty flavor, so it may not be for everyone’s taste palette. This powder may be a little harder to find, but you can find it at most health food stores.

I recommend trying an amazing protein blend made completely from seeds at My Supplement Store called Ancient Nutrition Plant Protein

I am a huge Reese’s Peanut Butter cup fan, and this one hits the spot after a great workout.

Peanut butter cup smoothie

• One scoop chocolate flavored Ancient Nutrition Plant Protein Powder
• One banana
• Two tablespoons of natural peanut butter
• 1 cup of rice milk
• Blend and Serve!

Liquid Egg Whites- Protein Shake Lactose Free

Liquid egg whites are a great alternative for those not wanting to use a powder. They are minimally processed and can be eaten raw because they are pasteurized. Egg whites are affordable, contain less fat and calories, and have no flavor.

They can be mixed into almost any type of shake or smoothie. Liquid egg whites are easily found at the grocery store, or you can purchase them on Amazon here

Below is one of my favorite breakfasts and keeps me full for several hours.
