Non-whey non-soy protein drink?

Does almond milk have all that much protein?

Nope. 1 g per 8 oz serving per Pacific's website. Hazelnut milk has 2 g (but it's also only available sweetened and non-organic).

Oat milk, on the other hand... might just be my new endurance drink. Same amount of sodium as most sports beverages, double the potassium, 19 g sugars from the malted grain itself, no extrinsic sweeteners. Still not organic though. I'll have to give it a try on my next shorter run to see how my stomach tolerates it, and also look up the specific amino acids.

I use "ON Gold Standar Natural Whey, vanilla", which is "Optimal Nutrition" that has an added enzyme to digest the whey...but I am not sure how that works for a NON lactose intolerant. I am lactose intolerant, and I have been drinking this stuff for about 5 years now, cause it is the only thing that doesn't upset me. Soy, well, it is a bean...
the other thing about ON, is that is uses natural sweeteners, so, no aspartame, etc.

I use the Jay Robb egg white protein and Hemp Powder (three flavors). Both are super yummy!

I also really like the Jay Robb products. I use the whey cuz I can, but I tried the egg white once and it is fine too.

I buy their ones that are flavored w chocolate and sweetened with stevia, since they are very low carb (I have impaired glucose tolerance).

Do you run with those? If not, do you do sustained hard rides?

I tried oat milk and it just drinks like food, not a fluid/electrolyte replacement, unfortunately. The Infinit website talks about osmolality and that makes perfect sense to the way my stomach behaves.

I'm not running long enough to need to replace all the calories I'm burning, and protein isn't even critical, but if I can get 100-150 calories and maybe 4-5 g protein an hour, that would be great. I'm really still playing with the carbs.

Thanks!
