Low/No Carb Protein Powders - Reviews/Suggestions

sbl1881

I'm looking for a low carb or no carb protein powder. Both ISO-100 and Isopure seem to get good reviews online. I tried mixing another brand (Vega mixed berry) with water and it was gross. Tasted a chewed like thick water. lol. I'm looking for more of a chocolate milk consistency, so I'll buy almond milk or something to mix it with.

What brands/flavors do you like? Are there any major differences between the 2 brands I should be aware of?

I generally fall short in protein by about 20 grams, so I'm looking for something that can help increase my numbers a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I may be wrong, but I think a lot of whey isolate powders are on the lower end of the carb spectrum????

I personally like Optimum nutrition gold standard 100% whey. Tons of flavors. My fav is rocky road. I mix mine with unsweetened almond milk (no reason in particular other than normal milk causes my stomach to make loud noises and bloat). Some love it with water, though I personally spit it right back out when I tried it with water. Try it that way first though; to each their own.

The protein powder is 120 calories, 24g protein, and 3g carbs, so not too shabby. The milk is 30 calories, which makes my drink 150 in total. I can actually drink it alone and be full for a few hours


Edit: Also, I've never tried the two that you mentioned, so I can't offer any insight on any differences. Just realized I didn't really answer that part

I use the dymatize whey isolate ISO-100 or I use quest protein. Both are mainly protein, very low sugar and I think they mix well and taste good. I like to mix them in a nutribullet with spinach, frozen strawberries and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

Unflavoured powders will have fewer carbs than the flavoured kind. I use unflavoured Precision whey and mix it with unsweetened soy milk and cocoa powder. Sometimes I'll throw in some cherry Greek yogurt.

I was going to recommend Isopure. I alternate between Quest (2g carbs per serving) and optimum nutrition casein (3g).

I like Trutein. All their flavors are excellent. I wasn't a huge fan of the chocolate, tho. So for chocolate, my go-to is Allmax hexapro "Decadent Chocolate Milkshake." hands down, the best chocolate I've ever had for a protein drink, and it tastes like a dang milkshake.

I use GNC Total Lean Isolean protein. 1 scoop is 85 cal, with 20 g protein, .5 fat, and only .5 carbs! My favourite flavour is the Vanilla Cream. The chocolate is nothing special.

Consider visiting a store in your area.
Like Target or Walmart or even GNC.
If you do not like it, easy returns with a receipt.
No reason needed.

Opinion: Optimum Nutrition is so good, you can even make it with water.
Costco sells it and often has it on sale.
Easy to return if you don't like it.
