Protein Powder

[kelbelblue]

I don't know where to put this... maybe start a supplements section?

I am totally burned out on GNCs protein powder.. any suggestions on some other good ones?

I like international protein- banana flavor.
I am not a big dymatize fan, the powders too fine and lacks intense flavour
Lately with my international protein I have also been mixing 1/2 scoop chocolate and 1/2 scoop banana- to get a nice choc narnie flava

[KKKRRR]

Oh I was SOOO going to make a thread about this...

Here is a mini review on a few I have tried

Allmax Isoflex (Choc. PB, Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla are all great) This is one of the few PP that dont upset my stomach. My fav.

Whey Gourmet tastes alright but kills my stomach and I dont know about the quality..

Scivation Whey tastes pretty good, nothing special.

IsoSensation by Ultimate Nutrition: TASTS NASTY


Have you checked out this site.. I have been thinking about trying it some time...[url]http://www.trueprotein.com/[/url]

I have also heard quite a few people liking the All The Whey brand and Muscle Gauge Nutrition.

So far from what Ive tried I really like Designer Whey (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) all good.

Nectar has good protein powder - the lemonade one I like the best and then cherry (90 calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 23 protein)...

I can't do vanilla protein powder- makes me want to gag...

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard....tastes amazing.

Dymatize Elite Whey as well - I love double rich chocolate!

[dbroncofan]

Optimum Gold Standard in chocolate and vanilla..both good

Muscle gauge....it's all okay. The only one I really like is cinnamon bun. The cake batter isn't too good. Chocolate isn't strong enough flavor for me.

Pro5 in banana is amazing!

I cant stand most vanilla's either.

EAS makes a good (cheap!) vanilla.

GNC's cookies n cream is my favorite though.

Designer Whey tastes great, its a bit more expensive.

I've heard Isopure is incredible.

You can get Designer Whey (2lbs) for $17 and change on luckyvitamin.com. Is that expensive? I tried the BSN lean desert but didnt like it much.

No, that's pretty average, assuming that includes shipping.

I bought mine from GNC/Vitamin World.

Really, I buy GNC brand from the stores... waiting until their gold card week when theyve usually got buy one get one half off. (5lbs normal price is about $55... Ends up $70 for 10lbs with tax).

I've also heard good things about Optimum (also carried at GNC) but Ive never tried the regular whey. I did try their casein and it was nasty, but I would guess casein just has a different taste lol

I like ON 100% Whey...all the flavors are good.
I just recently bought VPX Zero Carb Graham Cracker flavor. It's really good...kind expensive though.
For Ready to Drink's, I like Muscle Milk Light. The best price is at Costco.
A case of 24 is $28.99

My FAV protein is BSN's Syntha-6...there is NO other chocolate that tastes as good as this!!!!!

[Trish]

I just tried Beverly International in Vanilla and I love it...

[BootyBootyBooty]

Isopure tastes just ok.
I really loved the Cake Batter and chocolate from Muscle Gauge...not so much the strawberry or vanilla.
I don't really like ON gold standard.
Dymatize has a funny aftertaste to me.

[Cherish]

I was on ON Gold 100% Whey for years. Tried all the flavors and all were just kind of blah for me except Mocha Cappuccino. BUT, I grew an intolerance, so anything but pure iso hurts my tummy now. I get bloated, and it's just not fun.

With that being said...

Isoflex is pretty damn good, mixes easily, and the vanilla is delish. I usually hate vanilla but this one kinda reminds me of a vanilla milk shake, even mixed with water. AND, no tummy bloat or digestion isues, yay!

I've had very good results with Isopure as well, but it's a bit pricy depending on where you get it.

I just read about Muscle Gauge Pure Isolate and am dying to try it! I've heard good things about the Cinnamon Bun flavor so that's on my next order. It's also very nicely priced so that's a bonus. I will report back once I get it =)

BSN Syntha-6...gotta have it! Put it in the freezer for about an hour and it tastes just like a milkshake.....(mouth watering just thinking about it).

[fitmommy78]

ON Gold Standard, esp. in mocha cappuccino, chocolate mint, and double chocolate flavors

Syntha 6 is delicious too (all flavors).

I really like BSN's Lean Dessert. I have tried the Banana Nut Bread and the Whipped Vanilla Cream. Plus, you can get it for under $15 for a 1.5 pound container on ALLSTARHEALTH.COM!

Lean Dessert is good. I like the Cinnamon Roll and Banana Nut Bread flavors in my oatmeal. Yum!
