Recommendations for protein powder or protein in general?

Anyone have recommendations for protein powder (for smoothies)? Or protein in general. I struggle more with the preparation that goes into cooking than anything else (my hands give me trouble)

Bloomnu.com has a good plant based protein!

I like Kate Farms nutrition shakes. They’re pricey but are great total meal replacements that don’t taste awful.

I second this--Kate Farms has the best shakes and they do not upset my stomach!

I think the company is called Vega? They have a "protein and greens" blend that comes in a few different flavors. My partner and I have the chocolate one and it tastes incredible, although it does smell exactly like Timothy hay you'd feed a rabbit

I used benecalorie and duocal and I order it on Amazon. They are flavorless so you can add both practically to ANYTHING and as far as Kate farms goes I got three free cases from my dietician but I feel like personally they taste terrible and the duocalorie and benecalorie have helped me at least maintain weight and what not

If you can have milk my favorite is premier protein shakes. But if you are milk free then I like plant-based Vega powder or garden of life protein powder. Garden of life is less expensive and I like the chocolate flavor.

Also to get more protein in general peanut butter is a good high calorie way to get it (if you can tolerate) and I like to buy pre-cooked chicken strips instead of having to cook myself.

I tend to buy the peanut butter protein powders. Basically just powdered peanut butter but with some added protein. I think they taste the best. Obviously not a great option if you have a nut allergy.
