If you have a Complete Nutrition near you, I think they all offer a sampling bar to try anything they sell.0

Have you tried PEScience? Super tasty protein.
I think I may have tried their chocolate or something and I just thought it was meh. It's been so long though, I honestly don't really remember.
One of the fitness couples I follow on IG are PEScience athletes. The have discount codes, so maybe I should give something new a try.
Any chance that is Jeff Nippard and Stephanie Buttermore?
Nope. Aubrie and Brad Bromlow. They're also on MFP.
Cool. I don't know them. But the nice thing about PEScience is that you can get a bunch of samples.1 -

When I don't drink it straight with milk, I put it in a blender with milk and a frozen banana and pumpkin puree with some cinnamon- boom, pumpkin spice milkshake for breakfast for ~300ish calories.
@CupcakeCrusoe try their cookies 'n' cream flavor. It's delicious!0 -

That's where I buy my BCAA's! I LOVE their Uptake!
I have sampled a few different protein powders from there and I didn't like any of them.0 -

You do know there really isn't a benefit to BCAAs right? It's essentially a water enhancer.2 -
Personally, hate it. I have never found one that tastes good. I get around 60-70g protein a day from food alone1

Ditto. I liked them when I started losing and was severely restricting myself, but now I find that they all have a bad aftertaste, and they are not filling at all.0 -
I have a tub of Isopure Apple Pie and Strawberry & Cream flavor, both good.
Also tried a sample of bodytech cinnamon cereal, don't know the nutrition behind the sample but very tasty.0 -

I'm trying to hit 150, so the powder helps. I like the stuff Costco sells. Kaizen chocolate. Adding it to 1% milk gets me 50g before I even move for the day.1 -
