Hi,

Has anyone tried this protein powder before? I mix mine with almond milk, half an avocado and froze berries. Still a bit chalky. The hfs suggested i only use 1/2 scoop a day. Any other protein powder others like? Txq48quj0ll9v8.jpg

    Never heard of that one...I am a huge fan of Isopure! It is the best and doesn't have that chalky taste. I like the beachbody shakeology but they are way too expensive. Pure protein is another good one as well.

    I love isopure, too, it's delicious and reasonable in calories. I'm going to try quest protein next time though, because I love their products.

    I love Shakeology myself. Yeah, it's expensive, but your health is well worth the investment. 99% of protein powders are loaded with chemicals and preservatives and dyes. Shakeology is natural, so it makes me feel a bit better. :)

    I've tried progressives brown rice protein powder and it was extremely grainy in shakes, so I just ended up mixing it in when I had oats occassionally.

    I highly recommend EAS Lean. 15g of protein for 2 scoops and only 100 cal. It comes in chocolate and vanilla Creme but the vanilla Creme is by far the standout. I mix mine with 16 oz of unsweetened cashew milk by silk (a whopping 50 cal, yes you read that right. Only 50 cal for 2 cups) and I can have a filling, great tasting, effective protein shake for 150 cal. I bought mine at Walmart and it was $20.

    I'm just gonna leave this here.
    Have your opinions about a product, but don't try to deny that its ingredients are natural, not chemical. :)

    Right now I like Isofemme myself, comes in chocolate and vanilla and doesn't taste chalky no matter how I mix it! Not a bad price either :)

    On gold standard is low in calories and carbohydrates but high in protein and comes in amazing flavors.

    Except that even water is a chemical... you know...hydrogen and oxygen. Everything you consume is a chemical, unless you eat nothing.

    Good try though.

    I'm using EAS Complete Protein now. Not out of this world flavor or texture, but it serves the purpose of cramming in 25g more of protein a day so I can get to my 90g goal.

    Really in love with Naturade Vegan Smart All-in-One. It tastes great, isn't chalky, includes an array of vitamins and minerals along with the 20grams protein and 6 grams of fiber. It's actually the first protein shake I don't have to brace myself to chug when mixed just with almond milk. It might be a little higher on calories (and a little on fat) than many other shakes - but this isn't a problem for me at the moment.
