Whats the best tasting protein powder?

kt9052

Hello All! This is my very first post-so thanks to all of those who reply with feedback! I am looking for some advice on a filling and good tasting protein to mix up in the morning for a breakfast while on the run & for workouts. I have tried Vega and do not like the taste also Syntha 6 is not that filling for me.. I did a trial run of herbalife shakes- which are tasty, but i have heard so many bad things!! I have read reviews on Quest Proteins and they seem positive...anyone tried?

What are your favorites?
OR if there is another thread already open with this info can you direct me to it? I did a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for..

Good tasting and filling is pretty individual, but you may have to opt for a sit-down food breakfast.

I like Quest and Trutein, but I don't find drinking protein shakes to be filling at all. I mix mine with plain greek yogurt and berries for breakfast every morning.

Labrada is really good. I have the vanilla kind (love the taste). I replace my lunch for the shake and have a snack (like grapes or some type of fruit) about 2 or 3 hours later. The price is also great..I buy it off of amazon at $24.49 for almost 2.5 pounds. I attached a picture..hope you find this useful

Quest isn't bad, but those that suffer from IBS symptoms can't tolerate some of the ingredients.
I like the Labrada Lean Body chocolate when I'm seriously late and only have time to chug something down. Very filling.

Vega is my favorite. Sorry.

But you have to get the vanilla bean not the chocolate. I don’t care for the chocolate.

^ The one I tried was a coconut almond? I think... and I always do vanilla everything! maybe i just tried a bad flavor..

Yep- very individual thing. Personally, I don't digest whey protein well, so I use Naturade pea protein powder. I only like it blended with frozen banana (but I do really like that, so it's not like I force myself to have it or anything). Before discovering Naturade, I tried one a friend highly recommended that I found really gross & gritty, so likely it will just require trial & error on your part.

I like unflavoured whey. I prefer to add my own things to it.

Optimum Nutrition is my go-to

I got optimum nutrition vanilla and blend it with yogurt, a banana and vanilla almond milk in the morning. I don't like the taste unless it has fruit in it too, but that combo is tasty.

Best tasting IMO is plain egg white or whey protein that you custom blend for your own tastes. For example, the one below combines all of the things you might find in commercial powders without the artificial colors or flavors:



Note: The psyllium offsets the binding effects of the banana and aids in feelings of fullness.

However, my favorite portable breakfast is 2 HB eggs and 100 grams of cold potatoes (resistant starch) that have been steamed and seasoned with salt, pepper and Cuban seasoning. I make everything on the weekend and then peel the eggs and weigh out the potatoes and put them in baggies (1 serving of HB eggs / potatoes) and then grab it on my way out the door.

I haven’t tried many but I always get optimum nutrition, chocolate flavor. Very good. I just mix it with milk and it’s like chocolate milk. It’s not filling for me though.

I’m sure quest tastes good however I don’t want to try it because the bars do not make my digestive system happy at all. I’m sure the powder would be the same.

If you are going for the optimum nutrtion powders, I use the chocolate and vanilla, and if you have a Costco membership, they 6.2 pound bags are on sale for $42 right now. Until this Sunday I believe.

katlyngronwoldt85

Vega is my fav. I mix a scoop with my morning quick oats and its like chocolate pudding!!!!

alicebhsia

I like vanilla Muscle Milk. the chocolate isn't so good. For chocolate i like EAS and I find the EAS more filling.

cwolfman13

Taste would be highly variable...I personally don't find a protein shake to be filling in the least...I just use it to supplement and don't expect anything else from it.

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard chocolate...

xosunny520

I like the EAS chocolate protein with 1/2 milk 1/2 water - tastes like a milkshake!

jessef593

That’s quite subjective.

If you want cheap, cost effective, and decent taste. To match your goals rather than to brag about. Try Canadian protein

AnvilHead

As others have said, taste is subjective. With that said, my current favorite is Quest Cinnamon Crunch, mixed in Fairlife nonfat milk and a bit of water.

joelchmielak1

ISO-respect chocolate with some pb2 is awesome.

jaxsmama123

I really enjoy Allmax Isoflex in strawberry or birthday cake flavour. I usually have one serving in the morning around 7:30 am with a serving of yogurt and I feel full until about noon . Hope this helps

I like Quest peanut butter protein powder with chocolate almond milk blended with ice or a frozen banana. It just needs to be slushy for my preference.

I don't have much basis for comparison bc i haven't tried a lot of protein powders, but MPCombat protein powder in the cookies and cream flavor tasted good back when I used to drink it sometimes.

I do something like this. I mix protein powder with nonfat plain Greek yogurt, fiber cereal, and chocolate PB2. It's very filling and has lots of protein and fiber.

Quest and pescience if you like really sweet tasting protein

I love Allmax IsoFlex Chocolate Peanut butter. I am currently using Magnum Salted freaking Caramel and love it. Taste is always going to be subjective. I have heard of some protein powders nitrogen spiking their protein powders, so with that I am very picky on which protein powder I will buy
