Hi Sheri,
I would suggest pea proteins.
I myself started using them when I became a vegan, 6 months ago, and they are an amazing swap for whey.
Love,
Monica

Hello! Thank you for the great info! I suspect that I may have a dairy sensitivity. What would you suggest as a whey alternative to use in protein shakes? Thank you!

In reply to Jason.

That’s partly true, here’s why:
Whey is high in branched-chain amino acids, so if you’re toning/building muscle, they are needed, but if not, they are converted in the liver to fat, and can cause insulin resistance.
So you don’t have to lift weight to have protein shakes, but your workouts should be challenging for sure.
