Whether you\u2019re a highly skilled athlete, avid gym-goer, fitness newbie, or somewhere in between, chances are you\u2019ve come across those massive tubs of protein powder and wondered if they have a place in your daily routine.

Protein powder has proven itself as a convenient way to supplement protein intake \u2013 two in five (46%) Americans say they regularly consume protein drinks and shakes (1<\/a>).

That extra boost of nutrition that comes from protein powders can have important health benefits, especially for those looking to build lean muscle, don’t have enough protein in their diet, or need to incorporate food choices that are more satiating. Choosing a meal that\u2019s higher in protein can satisfy your hunger faster and keep you fuller for longer (2<\/a>). Protein also contributes to muscle recovery, growth, and maintenance during and post-workout (3<\/a>).

But for those with an intolerance to lactose \u2014 or are eating dairy-free for another reason \u2014 protein powders pose a whole new set of challenges, as they often use dairy-based ingredients as the primary source of protein. 

Many protein powders contain whey powder, a byproduct of milk and cheese. Even if whey isn\u2019t the main ingredient in the protein powder, lactose and dairy-related products containing lactose can sneak up in the sometimes extensive and overwhelming ingredient lists on protein powder packaging. 

Whether you\u2019re lactose-free because of an intolerance or are trying to avoid dairy altogether, our selection of 9 lactose-free protein powders ranked by their protein content is sure to help keep your body nourished and energized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
