Want some protein powder suggestions?  Here are a few of my favorites.
Epic Pea Protein is great to add into smoothies with other ingredients in it to give it flavor.  Super clean with just one ingredient (just peas!) and takes on the flavor of whatever ingredients you add to it.  Not too chalky, like many plant based protein powders.

Ka'Chava is a fantastic meal replacement plant based protein, with healthy carbs and fats included.  The taste is fantastic!  All you need to do is shake it up with water or milk.  But you can add it to other smoothie ingredients as well for a really flavorful, calorie dense smoothie.

OWYN (only what you need) is a pre-mixed protein smoothie with all sorts of good micronutrients included thanks to their whole-foods based ingredients list.  Made with a pumpkin seed, flax, and pea protein blend, it's a complete protein that also gets you prebiotics and a Super Foods Greens Blend in every bottle.  Awesome as a quick grab and go smoothie any time of day.  It comes in a variety of flavors, but I'm pretty keen on the chocolate.
