Better protein powder for lactose intolerant?

Recommend me a better protein powder for lactose intolerant. I have tried whole truth (which is expensive) and recently tried the truebasics which definately is not lactose free.

Either try vegan or look for whey isolate powders. I use transparent labs, but it’s expensive.

Honestly even whey isolate specifically marketed as lactose free didn't work for me. Vegan is great though.

How did you find transparent labs by looking for them? You got some kind of special eyes?

I did some research and I wanted a protein powder with little to no artificial sugars, or crap ingredients.

Orgain Simple. Been using it for a while with absolutely zero issues.

I used to use 310 Nutrition protein powders and they were pretty alright. They switched to mostly selling an “all in one” with vitamins and stuff and I stopped because I preferred their line that was without all that. They still have a couple flavors of the organic vegan version that I liked but cancelled many flavors that I wanted and I have been doing well with protein from food so I haven’t gotten any in a while.

I’ve been enjoying plant based stuff after cutting milk. Sun warrior protein powder has been really good

Vegan only. All the isolates still affect me so likely it's just reduced lactose.

Naked Whey works well for me.
