Vegan protein powder in Europe?

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a vegan protein powder that has decent protein content 70-80g/100g and is available in Europe. Specifically Czechia. I'm currently trying out the certified low foodmap Amazonia one, but I think it's causing bloating. It uses stevia, I've tried their normal one which I tolerated better and their slim and tone, which is worse. Preferably a flavored one, but if you have an unflavored protein powder that you like, that's alright too.

Happy about any recommendations! I'm quite desperate since either items are very low protein, or just unavailable.

I'm lactose intolerant and suspect a casein allergy, though I haven't been tested for that, that's why I'm leaning towards vegan protein powder.

Thank you so much!

Whenever I freeze and then slowly defrost veal in the fridge, it smells sour, why?

Hello! On occasion I have purchased veal leg steaks, when I freeze them (in a plastic bag, tied up) and then defrost them (in the fridge, slowly), they smell sour as hell. They were previously packaged in a vacuum seal, but I take them out and repackage prior to freezing. Usually they only stay frozen for a couple of days. I freeze them because I'm terrified of the sentence on the package that states 'once open, consume immediately' (could I just pack it in a box and eat it the next day without freezing, or is this theoretically a botulism risk? I've never seen chicken that says 'once open, consume immediately'.

How do I get rid of the sour smell? I've read it's called confinement odor, but man, it doesn't go away. I don't mind the meat going a tad gray, I know that's normal.

Thank you! I know this might boil down to paranoia.

Hello to all! I was gifted the Frank Body coffee coconut scrub and the scent is truly amazing. I'm wondering if there is a perfume that isn't far too sugary and has a deep coffee smell with an similarly strong coconut whiff. I don't mind layering the two, if they're decently priced, but I am having issues finding a singular perfume that overlays both smells.

I cannot purchase coffee cloud in my country, which might've been a contender.

So far I've looked at Zimaya tiramisu coco - though this apparently smells boozy and that's a bit of a no for me and Khamrah Qahwa - which I'm worried might be too spicy.

Black Opium looks promising, albeit the price is a bit much, if I am to layer it with another, more coconut-esque perfume. I'm not sure how prevalent the coffee smell is either.

Thank you!
