Protein Powders I Recommend:

Legion makes high-quality grass-fed whey protein powders and plant-based protein powders. Visit their website using my affiliate link and use my referral code: BethMB and you save 20% on first order - and get double loyalty points for returning customers - https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/3238r

Paleo Pro makes a grass-fed beef isolate and egg white protein that I like: https://paleopro.com/product/paleo-protein-powder-2/ I especially love that they have a "naked" version that contains no sweeteners at all, which is great so I can control sweetness with things like banana or other fruits that I want to include.

Naked Nutrition also makes a good whey protein powder and an egg white protein powder: https://nakednutrition.com/products/grass-fed-whey-protein-powder https://nakednutrition.com/products/egg-white-protein-powder

If you know that you don't tolerate cow dairy but you do tolerate goat dairy, Mt. Capra makes various goat whey protein powders: https://mtcapra.com/product-category/protein/I do just fine with most dairy and with goat dairy and I did have a problem digesting this protein, personally, (lots of bloating) for what it's worth. But, I know many people who do great with it. Any grass-fed whey protein powder, without additives can be a great option, as tolerated. See above for my recommended brand and for a discount.

Garden of Life also makes a decent plant based protein https://amzn.to/3Y6FJeP
