Protein Powder

I have recently returned to the vegetarian side. I am also weight training and running now, and looking for a veg friendly protein powder. I tried Jarrows rice protein, and almost vomited when I drank it. Can any one recommend one that dissolves well and has a decent taste to it? I would like to stay away from soy powders. Thanks in advance.
hemp is the best for you... haven't tried it yet but give it a go! how are you making your protein drink? it would probably be good incorporated into a smoothie
I also use protein powders and avoid soy. You can buy a blend of protein powders for $20 or rice protein powder and pea protein powder for $20 each. Buying them separately is better. You get waaay more powder for your money. I blend rice and pea protein powders with hemp protein powder and a spoonful of chia seeds in almond milk. Chia helps thicken it a bit and has a lot of protein, itself.
I'm not sure about what dissolves easily. I use a mini blender or shaker cup.

Thanks for the replies. I usually just mix it with some soy milk in a glass bottle and shake it like a maniac. I don't like putting it into a smoothie because I find it always ends up way to thick. I will try mixing the 3 different ones with some vanilla almond milk. I just got some for the first time today, and it seems as though it would be good to cover up not so tasty flavors.
P.S. I LOVE YOUR MEMBER NAME! sooooooo funny!
Thanks :D
