Best Vegan Protein Drinks of 2025

"I’ve purchased these plant-based protein shakes over a dozen times, both chocolate and vanilla. I prefer the vanilla flavor; either is delicious. As a hospital MA, I often skip meals due to my busy schedule, but with these shakes, I can grab one in the morning and stay full for hours. The taste is smooth and sweet, without that chalky texture. Quick and easy nutrition is what I appreciate the most!"

"I’ve tried numerous protein drinks, but none settled well in my stomach until I found Orgain. After a recommendation from a fellow shopper at Costco, I decided to try the chocolate flavor. To my surprise, it had no aftertaste and kept me satisfied until lunch. Now, I’ve ordered the Vanilla Bean flavor on Amazon several times and I’m seriously considering the monthly auto-pay option for convenience."

"I was seeking a plant-based protein shake that I could take on the go. I switched from OWYN shakes to Orgain, and I’m glad I did. Unlike OWYN, these shakes leave me feeling satisfied and good without any stomach issues. The caloric content fits well with my snacks, although I find them a bit bland. Still, I prefer this over the discomfort of other brands."

"I recently tried the OWYN plant-based protein shake in the flavor “cookies and creamless”. It's surprisingly good for a protein drink! Unlike many shakes, this one has a nice consistency and a flavor I genuinely enjoy. It doesn’t upset my stomach, which is perfect for my lactose intolerance. I highly recommend it!"

"These are my favorite protein beverages! With many people at work having food allergies, it's great to have a truly lactose-free option. The flavor is satisfying without tasting too 'diet,' and it's pretty filling. Plus, it’s delicious and nutritious!"

"I was skeptical about protein drinks, especially ready-to-drink ones, but this one blew me away. It's not overly sweet and keeps me full for hours. I’ve already reordered more in different flavors!"

"This is one of my favorite protein drinks. Super yummy chocolate flavor with no aftertaste and great protein boost!"

"I was looking for a dairy-free protein option. 20g of protein and very satisfying—chocolaty, thick, and creamy!"

"These shakes are packed with protein and nutrients. They taste great, and the recyclable packaging is a bonus!"

"I really love these! The texture is perfect! They're gluten and dairy free, so they don’t upset my stomach. After trying a different brand that was terrible, I'm sticking with Ripple brand!"

"Tasty and provides 20g of protein at the best bottled price I've found. I had my siblings try it, and now we all order in bulk!"

"As someone who's lactose intolerant and allergic to milk protein, I find these shakes amazing! Highly recommend!! They taste great!"

"My husband and I have been enjoying this product daily for over a year. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find a low-sugar, high-protein option. Initially, I agreed with comments about the taste and thickness, but now I truly adore it. The thickness is manageable if shaken well, and while I wish it were a bit cheaper, we've been satisfied."

"I often need meal replacement drinks due to my lactose intolerance and dietary restrictions. This product has been a lifesaver. However, drinking it straight was challenging due to the texture and flavor. After some tips from others, I tried watering it down, and it transformed into something more enjoyable—like chocolate milk!"

"As someone constantly on the move, I was excited to find this high-protein, low-sugar product. Unfortunately, I found the taste to be quite off-putting, with an aftertaste that caused some stomach discomfort."

"I've tried many protein drinks over the years, and this is by far one of the best tasting I've encountered. Plus, it's dairy-free and doesn't upset my stomach, making it perfect for shakes."

"As a vegetarian with dairy sensitivity, OWYN is fabulous. It’s easy to digest and has a smooth texture. The chocolate flavor is not overwhelming but quite tasty. My dietitian recommended it, and I find it great for getting calories."

"Unfortunately, while the flavor is decent, the over-the-top sweetness is a deal breaker for me. No matter what I try to mix in, the sweetness remains, making it unpleasant to drink."

"I had to go vegan for medical reasons, and with celiac disease, I needed something gluten-free. This product has the perfect thickness, no added sugar, and is packed with nutrients. It's also delicious! I have one every morning, and it helps me eat without feeling nauseous."

"I love Koia! They are the best tasting dairy-free, plant-based protein drinks I've tried. They are my go-to for post-workout recovery and perfect as a meal supplement. The value for money is great, especially since they're easy to grab on the go."

"I switched to this shake after whey protein caused breakouts. After trying various options, I found these at Costco and, wow, they are a game-changer! No breakouts and I've been drinking them every day. The chocolate banana flavor is my favorite—super delicious!"

"I have a very picky toddler who won't even take gummy vitamins. After trying countless brands, this is the only one she enjoys without complaint. Its perfect texture and flavor make it a staple for us, providing her with essential protein, vitamins, and minerals. I love that it's ready to use, making it easy to grab on the go. My only concern is that it has a bit too much sugar and it can be a little pricey."

"My son absolutely adores these drinks! They are not loaded with excess sugars and offer excellent quality and taste. As a vegan drink, it's a great value and keeps him feeling full. Plus, it helps him learn to drink from an open source. I’m really happy with this product!"

"I’ve been purchasing these for two years for my boys, who enjoy one or two daily. However, in my last few boxes, the caps have become hard to close after opening, causing spills and the need for a knife to puncture them. I hope this is just a temporary issue, but if this continues, I might have to reconsider my purchases."

"I found it to be delicious! With all the vitamins and no sugar, it gave me a nice boost of energy after a long day of cleaning. The 12oz size was perfect for me, and I'm eager to try the chocolate flavors too. I wish there were more options, but I'm satisfied with what they offer. Good quality for the price, and I had no stomach issues from drinking it straight on an empty stomach. It kept me from feeling hungry until dinner. Highly recommend!"

"The chocolate flavor and texture are fantastic! However, the vanilla was too sweet for my taste, almost like a marshmallow, and it consistently had sediment that was quite off-putting. No amount of shaking helped, and every sip felt like I was swallowing bits of something unpleasant."

"I started with OWYN's original formula and liked it, but I stopped because it didn't have all the vitamins that Ensure does. I'm really glad OWYN created a new version that includes greens and more protein from pumpkin and flax seeds, unlike Ensure. It's suitable for both me in my 60s and my elderly mom in her 90s, both of us being lactose intolerant. Highly recommend!"

"Initially, I found the chocolatey taste not as rich as I expected, but with no sugar and a high protein content, the flavor grew on me. I appreciate that I can enjoy a healthy drink without all the sugar and sucralose."

"I've always bought these weekly, so I decided to try the bulk pack for savings. However, the viscosity was much thicker than I'm used to, and I had to add water just to get it out. Despite being a huge fan of OWYN, I think I'll stick to the grocery store for now."

"These shakes are perfect for a protein boost. I'm tired of whey protein, and I love that the pea/pumpkin protein blend is different since most vegan shakes only use pea protein. The addition of greens and monk fruit instead of sugar is a big plus for me."
