Best Protein Powder Without Dairy
Protein powders from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database whose labels list no dairy, ranked by how completely the label discloses what is in the product.
Why People Avoid Dairy
Whey and casein are milk proteins, so most protein powders are dairy products. People avoid them for three different reasons: milk protein allergy, which requires strict avoidance of whey and casein; lactose intolerance, which isolate often solves because filtration removes most lactose; and vegan diets.
If lactose is your only problem, whey isolate may be fine; it is excluded here because this page is for avoiding dairy entirely. The products below are typically built on pea, rice, soy, hemp, pumpkin seed, egg, or beef protein.
Plant proteins are lower in leucine per gram than whey, and blends such as pea with rice improve the amino acid profile. Because the filter reads every mention, a label whose allergen statement names the ingredient, even to say the product is free of it, is also dropped. The list errs toward leaving products out.
Results
439 of 2,413 on-market protein powder labels with an other-ingredients list name their protein source and list no milk, whey, casein, lactose, or other dairy ingredient.

Search All Protein Powders
Open Supplement Search, choose the Protein Powder tab, and turn on the "Dairy" chip under Exclude products containing. This page also requires a listed other-ingredients panel, since a label without one cannot show what it leaves out, so its count runs lower than the search page's.
