Protein powder for elderly women and men

[NuananongS622049]

Can anyone suggest protein powder for elderly (between 65 and 80 years old) women and men? I don't trust reviews from marketplace. If anyone is taking daily protein powder and have good benefits, please share with me; we're willing to try it.

Thanks in advance.

I I make a protein shake with almond milk, plain yogurt, honey and sometimes blackberries or strawberries that includes a scoop of Amazing Greens superfood plant blend powder. I usually include chia seeds and sometimes cacao nibs. It's ridiculously healthy! I am battling a very large hiatal hernia that will likely require surgery, but I am trying other avenues first.

I do know that someone with kidney issues needs to be careful with protein powder.  Run it by your doc for suggestion.  I drink a protein shake with plant protein — (peas) after a workout.  But always good to check with doc on it.

Thanks. Luckily we have no problem with kidney issues. Will explore more about plant based protein powder. Any recommendations for a brand? Much appreciated.

I haven’t tried any powdered protein, but Owyn makes excellent protein shakes.  I really like the vanilla one, and it’s not chalky, but very smooth and incredible taste of vanilla.  I just checked their website and the company also makes a powder.  Haven’t tried those before so can’t vouch for them, but I do enjoy the shakes.  Pricey, but very good after a workout.  I buy the shakes in Walmart and target.
