by Orgain · Mid-tier plant protein

21 g organic plant protein, widely available and affordable. Some readers find the texture chalkier than premium picks; the value is excellent.
21g per scoop, organic pea + brown rice + chia blend. Widely available at grocery stores. Uses stevia and erythritol. Erythritol can bother some slow-emptying stomachs, so worth a small first scoop to test tolerance. Decent flavor for a plant powder. A reasonable non-premium plant option if Truvani is out of budget.
When you lose weight on a GLP-1, a meaningful share of it can come from lean muscle, not just fat. Hitting a protein target helps protect that muscle, but a shrunken appetite makes eating enough genuinely hard, which is where a clean, easy-to-tolerate protein powder earns its place as a bridge.
A shake is most useful when appetite is quietest, often at breakfast, or as a stand-in when a meal just isn't happening. Liquid protein tends to go down easier than whole cuts of meat on a slow-emptying stomach. Look for a short ingredient list and a sweetener you tolerate; some people find sucralose-heavy formulas rough on an already-sensitive gut.
