I lift weights x5 a week and typically end my workout with a nice grass-fed, certified rBGH-free whey protein powder.

Later in the day, I've been adding a plant-based, soy-free protein powder made from pea protein isolate, brown rice protein concentrate, and artichoke protein.

I wanted to mix up my proteins so I'm not overdoing any one kind and keeping my protein intake diversified. I kind of like the idea that the plant proteins are less acidic than whey.

Can anyone find anything from with this particular plant protein powder from a Paleo Perspective? Does any know if it is less insulinogenic than whey? Outside my workouts, I eat real meat for protein, so I don't need any lectures about how I shouldn't be drinking my protein. I cheat on purpose so I can gain the physique I desire which I can't do through solid food alone.

From a paleo perspective, processed peas and rice are about as non-paleo as non-paleo can get.

From my personal experience with two different healthfood store brands of pea/rice protein powders, the stuff is completely indigestible. They both just sat in my stomach like a rock, making me queasy. YMMV
