I can't find any protein powders that don't have dairy that don't taste horrific.( those veggie ones are nasty!)I have a dairy allergy. That being said, now that I am a couple months into Atkins/LCHF I am having no problem at all meeting protein needs. In fact some days I see I need to cut it down so I can get my fat intake higher. I peeked at your diary and it looks like your protein is fine. But your carbs (for Atkins) is quite high. Are you looking to replace some carb rich foods with protein? Just curious. 

I'm modifying Atkins and combining it with a plan I did with a dietitian 10 years ago that helped me lose 40+ lbs. I'm feeling good on my modified plan. I really do not like eggs and couldn't choke them down every morning for breakfast. I'm feeling really good on having either cottage cheese, berries,and nuts or a protein smoothie for breakfast. I had some EAS green protein powder that I really liked but it has soy in it which I am supposed to avoid because I am a breast cancer survivor. I have some other powder that I can choke down but I'm not a fan. That's why I'm looking for some ideas. I did just order some from Biochem so we will see how that goes. 

Optimum Nutrition makes a whey protein powder that tastes good. The have a rich chocolate that is yummy. Some people use vanilla protein powder and add greens before they blend.
