Anyone know any PN/TN Safe Protein Powders

[LaurensMom]

Looking for one that is as "natural" as possible. I like the ingredients in Bob's Red Mill but it is not PN/TN safe.

Thanks in advance!

Ground pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and/or hemp seeds?  Gelatine powder (plain) is another one that can be used in place of most commercial protein powders. 

Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds are safe for top-11 allergens, though I would call and double check about potential allergens in their protein powders as I believe they are processed in a different facility.  (I would be curious to know the answer to that query.)

Thanks. Are you very familiar with the company? I was shocked to see they do not answer questions fully about the possibilty of contamination on their website. LOL.. I actually thought it was funny. They say Hemp doesn't contain top allergens. I amost wrote them back that that was like saying "Broccoli doesn't contain top allergens".  Futher, they have no nutritional labels or ingredients listed. I need to know carb counts as well.

I have pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. I just found them last week and I never realized how good they were! Yum!

But now I'm specifically looking for powders. I have two pre-diabetics who love carbs and while they have done a great job at lowering their intake, while we change diets I'm trying to find proteins powders I can add to those lunches that are a little carb heavy to make them a little more balanced.

Many years ago I contacted Manitoba Harvest and at that time their stuff was top 8 free and in a hemp only facility.

Gelatine powder may be a good one to sneak protein in places as it doesn't have any taste: trail mix muffins or homemade granola bars.  A bunch of roasted seeds, with or without a little salt, make a perfect protein punch and delicious snack.  We get our seeds from Libre Naturals (top-11-free).

I called Manitoba Harvest about a year ago about their hemp hearts (I like to call companies every few years) and they were still processed in a top-11 free facility at the time, but I didn't ask about their protein mixes because I didn't know they existed until last summer.  They don't make any nutty flavours, which is promising.  I sent them a new email yesterday...

I believe there are some Wegman's brand protein (flavored) shake mixes that are acceptable, if that would work for you.

Also, research Muscle Man shake mix as possibility?  (Obviously, you have to call and be comfortable with their answers, after reading the ingr list).  This brand is widely available at Walmart, Costco, etc.

I used to use Bluebonnet whey powder; I don't remember the nutritional makeup.  They sell it at Whole Foods.

I just heard back from Manitoba Harvest. Their hemp hearts are still made in a dedicated facility.  Everything else is made in another facility with good manufacturing procedures in place to prevent cross contamination, so take that as you will.  They didn't say which allergens were present in that other facility, only that they will label if they deem a risk to be present.  They mentioned a bar made in a nut-free facility and another that is listed as may contain dairy, but didn't say the same about the protein powders.  As such, these items will be put on my avoid list. Sorry.

The label on Earth Fare's "Show me the whey" has the following disclaimer: Contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, no wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish or fish. CONTAINS: milk, soy.

Multiple flavors.

I didn't call but my PN/TN/SFA son uses without issues.
